Oooh, look-a-there, aint she pretty?

Oooh, look-a-there, ain't she pretty
Oooh, think that chic's a beauty
I love-a-her hair
I love-a-her clothes
I love-a-her teeth
I love-a-that pose
Oooh, look-a-there, ain't she pretty?

Scissorhands dress

Fleur Wood calls this the 'Scissorhands' dress. And yes, we can totally see it on Winona Ryder during the peak of her career. On Johnny Depp? Well, he could just stand next to us.

Mother's Day Sale! One day only!

Ode to Mae

Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just pleased to see me?

The fringe dress

Who doesn't love a dress that you can throw on, feel totally comfy in and, all the while, know you look fantastic? We love this fringe dress by Obus with it's pick-of-the-season versatility. In store. In black. In love.

Leather-tastic

There's nothing less appealing than the leathery skin of an individual who has obviously spent a lifetime dousing themselves in baby oil and roasting in the sun. Ironic, considering there is possibly nothing cooler than a cropped leather jacket. This Princess Izzi jacket by Samvara is our number-one pick of the season.

Fur Elise

So you think this jacket is gorgeous in the picture? Wait until you touch it in real life. So soft, so warm. The perfect way to glam up a dreary winter day, don't you think?

Aint nothinig like the real thing


You know, it's kind of fun to peruse through the streets of Hong Kong with a handful of fake Prada. But let's face it, there aint nothing like the real thing. And this Life With Bird 'real thing' mini is fabulous. And there's nothing fake about that.

Jumper love

When I was about 12 I was obsessed with this red knit jumper with rabbit patterns. It was by Jump and one of the first 'grown up' pieces I'd ever owned. Sadly, it was an unflattering garment and when I see pictures of myself wearing it I feel quite ill. In fact, the itchy experience of wearing it on a school excursion to Tasmania put me off knitwear for quite a few years.

Flash forward to 2010 and I can't get enough. The zigzag print, the pure soft NOT ITCHY wool, the flattering cut. I'm only I'd known then what I know now...
