Ebay Losses

They say it is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.

When I was first introduced to Ebay, I spent my nights searching pretty much only ‘vintage’ garments and accessories. But recently, thanks to the naughty influence of Sea of Shoes and the ridiculous postage expenses I have accumulated with my vintage [...]

Bag-alicious

Do you ever feel like splurging out on a bag every now and then? I do, but thank God that Net-A-Porter is in pounds and I am not over-paid, I have been able to fight off my obssesive urge to purchase a bag. Recently, on hot Ebay fever, I discovered a [...]

Dissection of a great outfit

Here is a stylish lady walking down the tiled street, she was snapped by The Sartorialist because of her impeccable taste and I fell in love with her street-cred so much that I decided to analyse her sophisticated look. My guess is that she’s European, probably on her way to a fashion [...]

Bowl Me Over

Mommy went to the market one morning and came home with this black curly-whirly bowl. I hope it’s not my new bed…it feels really stiff and uncomfortable. I am worried. I am soft and that’s hard. Is she going to put my blankie in it?

Winter Warmers

I have selected 6 of the best coats to see you through this chilly winter. I think the prerequisites for a good coat are cut, style and comfort. It has to fit and flatter, see you through many seasons, be in versatile shade and keep you warm. And it still has to look gorgeous! [...]

SHOEvenirs from Hong Kong

Be prepared. I am about to show you 3 spectacular souvenirs that gave our credit card a heavy workout in Hong Kong last year. I admit. I splurged. But not as much as I would have if I bought my Chloe, YSL and Repetto shoes at full price. I was very lucky on my [...]

Window Dressing

I don’t know about you, but I am a huge fan of fancy window displays. Most of the fine pieces in my wardrobe were purchased on a whim when I saw how chic they looked on the mannequins. Even if the clothes didn’t quite have the same effect on my less-than-perfect figure, they were [...]

Have you heard of Nicholas Kirkwood?

Ladies, I’m sure you all know Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin, but have you heard of a young shoe legend by the name of Nicholas Kirkwood? Do yourself a favour and read the linked article about him so you are not missing out on one of the most important things in life- glamorous [...]

Gem from Zurich

My husband bought me this antique 14 carat Aquamarine ring from a French-speaking Swiss lady after much bargaining on a day-trip to Zurich. We were lucky enough to visit the Bürkliplatz Flea Market. I actually wanted a vintage onyx ring but the ones she had either had too small a band [...]

Deliver us from Miss Sixty…

Staying true to my roots, I visited Miss Sixty on my whirlwind trip to Shanghai earlier this year. Having spent 2 years styling and selling at Miss Sixty (Melbourne Central and the late Chapel Street store),  I just had to make my obligatory pilgrimage to my alma mater label. To my surprise, there was [...]
