Back to basics

Some people have nothing but basics in their wardrobes. Drawers full of jeans and plain knits and good quality tees that go with everything. Practical people who don't like to spend their money on frivolous items and crazy prints.

Not me.

The complete opposite, I'm all about floral frocks and printed blouses and coloured knits. That go with pretty much nothing else I own. Because I can't seem to bring myself to buy basics.

Which brings me to Viktoria & Woods, who do basics brilliantly. And who are inspiring me to fill those wardrobe gaps with PRACTICAL pieces.

Phew. It felt good to get that off my chest.

I can't say no

I can't say no to polka-dots at the best of times. Which means that this adorable top by Steele MUST BE MINE.

Steele are here. Just in time.

As much as I love my winter woolies, I need some colour and frivolity to get me through the grey and gloomy days I know are heading our way.

Steele are a Melbourne-based label that are new to Frisck and there is nothing remotely dreary about their colourful prints and splashes of colour.

Just what the doctor ordered.

A Bul-tastic bargain

We all know we're in the midst of a Global Financial Crisis and even though we've been pretty lucky down here in Oz, most of us are watching our pennies.

This coat by Bul comes in at under $300 and is super-stylish to boot.

Now, that's what I'm talking about.

*We have the classic black version in store now.

New Bul in store now

Winter's almost here and we have some lovely new stock by Melbourne based label, Bul. Guaranteed to cheer up those you are already craving sunshine.

This here is the South Bay top, which also comes in a very pretty grey print.

Mother's Day Delight

Today I saw some chocolate long-stemmed roses in Safeway for $2.50 a pop. So cheap! So cheerful!

But what I really want for Mother's Day is this Antipodium top. Now that would make me smile.

Hint, hint.

Not pyjamas. But just as comfy

Doesn't Sofia Coppola look cool in this pyjama suit?

Unfortunately, it's not a look I feel I could pull off myself without looking like a Big Brother housemate.

But, I am thinking that these Something Else pants would be just as comfy as a pair of jim-jams, but with a little more of a cool street wear vibe.

What do you think?

New boots in store now

Sometimes I still wish I could still pull off a pair of Doc 8-ups. Seriously, could I ever? (

These Senso booties on the other hand? Delightful on any pair of feet.
