Winter - Fashion in France

So, this - like most things on this blog lately - has been a long time in the running (which reminds me, I am in debt of a couple of Blog Fridays......)
Anyway, awhile ago I was weird and told Ms. Tali Zevi that I wanted to feature some of her photos from France here. Because they're stunning.

Um. Blazers with shiny... awesome... baubles on the collar? Yeah, I know it's cool, you don't have to explain it to me.

Oh, and to anybody who doesn't know them, I'm going to further embarrass Lilly and Louisa, who look quite the bit stunning in their photos too.

And the piste de resistance:
I mean it looks like something off a fashion magazine.
These photos are old news and much loved withing the Presentation facebook community, and there's no damn wonder! Tali, we are forever in your fashionable debt.
Gosh.

Also. I went to an old friends birthday party the other week - where there were many the gorgeous girl, I'm still looking for photos - and met Marina who is currently partaking in this awesome Miss Shop contest celebrating it's birthday or something. Any who, vote for them like I did if you think they look stunning and deserve to win a $25,000 Myer shopping spree, 2 VIP tickets to a Fashion Festival show and a Flip Mino II HD camcorder. And no, you can't get out of voting just because you're jealous.

Love you, B xx

Winter - I want summer

Theres a sentence I never thought I'd say.

But I cannot wait till the time of the year when I wake up and get dressed without shivering. I cannot wait to wear shorts and blouses. I cannot wait to attempt to get great beach hair, I cannot wait for Christmas. I cannot wait to buy new sandals. I cannot wait to eat ice cubes whilst complaining about the heat.


I also want the perfect summer wedges. These are pretty good.







Not perfect, but I feel as though I'm on the right track.

Winter (still)

I've always admired them, and wished I knew how to make them - or where to buy them. It was a long lost love until a few days ago; the turban headscarf/band.

Now, all of these are good examples of what I love. The problem is I just don't know where to get them.

I like to think that genius struck the other day when tying a headscarf. Miraculously, I tied a turban headscarf. I'm not going to pretend that I am a pro at it, or that my headscarfs look half as good as these ones, but I was pretty proud so I thought I'd share.

First I started with a square scarf, which I folded so it was just like a long one, so I guess you could use one of those too :)

Then I tied the scarf in the middle of my head, front and centre.

Next step was to twist the scarf the opposite way from the knot, so that the knot/tie/bulge thing at the front is bigger.
Next, tie a knot at the nape of your neck and tuck it away if you wish and you are ready to go.

Hope you enjoy, Tish xxx

Winter - I notice things.

So, because of this blog - and any of my close friends will know this - I notice so much about clothes.
I've always been one of those people who are really observant, but it's sky rocketed since December. And hey, it's an art ok.
A couple of days ago, I was at Flinders, catching the train to Hampton (hi Romany)and was lucky enough to come across two unlikely, fabulous people.

The first, was this woman in her twenties wearing one of those Russian-y hats, a messy knit vest, knee high boots and the most beautiful fitting jeans ever.
The other was a grandmother I'd never be embarrassed to call my own. Unless she was Ballroom Brenda (ballroom kids unite) Any who. Apparently not all teenagers feel this way, which may be half the reason we started this blog. She was wearing - now I quote my phone, where I took these notes down - a fur coat 'you could sleep' in, red lipstick, a polka dot scarf that looked 'exotic as', red boots and a felt bowler hat.
I had to stop staring because her grand kids were getting embarrassed.

Love you B.

Winter - Brit's Birthday

Okay, so. Eh. I'm sorry!

I haven't posted in soooo long. Grease is nearing so lines are being a'learned and blogs are being neglected...
I shall make up for it, hopefully!

Gosh I sound so sure of myself. So, B's 16th. Great night!
We had a seven course French dinner, need I say more? Yes, I think so.
That was brilliant, but so was how all of us girls were dressed.

Claudia and I beforehand. I was very happy to lend Claude some of my clothes, and even happier when realising how well co-ordinated our outfits were.

On the left: the birthday girl, Britt looked like a princess in a Friends of Couture dress. Sunday looked gorgeous in a dress from Savers, 15 dollars if I'm correct. Good buy. I wore Suzanne's (step mum) dress. Boy of boy I love it, but I would never wear it outside. It was fine to go from my house, to the car, to Britt's house but anything more would have been a bit risque.

A better, but still not great photo of the dress.
Hedwig on the left looked faaaaabulous, very co-ordinated colours and gloves that made her look very chic. Greta's (right) outfit was set off by her great pale pink tights - which I failed to get a photo of. Well done Tish.

A close up of Greta's headband, notice it matches the flowers on her dress purrrrfectly.

Well, I know its been forever. But a post with photos, thats exciting!
I'm going to be trying harder now, xxxx L
