Shh! It's a Secret!

Top: Victoria's Secret

Jeans: Embody Denim

Belt: Fiorelli

Shoes: Zu

You know, I've only every ordered from Victoria's Secret once, which is silly considering how much wear I've got out of this one blouse since I bought it way back in 2008.

I think I was a bit disappointed when it first arrived, because encompassing my f-cups it didn't look anything like the image on the website.

But then I should probably accept that the models on the Victoria's Secret website are Victoria's Secret models, and I need to try to blank the fact that they've all got gazelle-like proportions and concentrate on what the clothes might look like with a few more curves inside them.

Because this blouse looks great. It doesn't look like it does on Miranda Kerr, but it's still pretty darn hot, and who's to say that something else might not be equally successful?

Keep Your Head Above Water!

Shirt: Events

Cardigan: 8Inkerman, remixed

Jeans: Embody Denim

Shoes: Zu

Belt: Fiorelli

Sorry for the four day absence, but we had some epic, epic storms in Melbourne over the long weekend that resulted in the street outside Casa Frocks & Frou Frou looking like this:

and my carefully chosen outfit of the day looking like this:

It may not surprise you to discover that The Sophisticate and I decided not to brave the elements, and instead spent the weekend faffing about indoors, so Moomba Waterfest remains a mystery to me...

How was everyone else's weekends?

Gentlemanly

Shirt: Events

Jeans: Embody Denim

Shoes: Zu

Belt: Fiorelli

Cravat: Christian Dior (Thrifted)

So I was back to work this week (alas!). I'm already feeling a bit like I need a break, so it's fortunate that on tuesday we celebrate "Australia Day" with a public holiday.

Today was a bit of a case of calm before the storm because come tomorrow I'll have my 'rents visiting from Canberra (possibly with my younger brother) and also my honorary little sister who - due to the lack of beds here - is crashing with The Sophisticate.

I bought this great gentlemanly cravat at the Chapel St Bazaar, oh, months ago; but like so many of my scarves - bought on a whim with the best of intentions - it has spent its time sitting in the bottom of my drawers being unloved and unworn.

I suspect that I don't have the neck for scarves, but it's such an easy way to jazz up a boring outfit and breathe new life into old clothes that I keep trying. One day I might stumble across the perfect way to tie a scarf, giving the illusion of the long and willowy neck that I so crave. I'll be sure to share if I ever do!

Green Is Good

Jacket: Veronika Maine

Shirt: Events

Jeans: Embody Denim

Shoes: Zu

Belt: Fiorelli

Bangle: Philippa

Well, thank God for that - my Hairy Godmother's back from her jetsetting travels, which means that my fringe is back!

Ever since seeing NinaRibena from Tango & James at the Handmade Market wearing an outstanding apple green jacket I've been secretly pining for one myself.

I spotted this one at Veronika Maine; a label I've always loved, but whose clothes are not cut to encompass the more generously endowed among us. Fortunately this jacket can be worn open.
