More Christmas party wear

Okay, so the silly season is only just beginning, but there are times when a girl just wants to be comfy. Which is why we at Frisck love, love, love Body, a label famous for their ability to suit just about anyone. Can't you just imagine sipping champagne at a Chrissy BBQ while donning this frock and not having to worry about sucking your gut in? Heaven.

Christmas cocktails anyone?

It's not even December, but the Christmas party season has begun. Sometimes when I get over it I remember what a great excuse it is to buy lots of new dresses. Though I may have done it once (or twice) there's not much point in sitting on the couch watching Ugly Betty re-runs in a cocktail dress. I would team this one with an 80s inspired cocktail - a Long Island iced tea perhaps? Maybe a Daiquiri? Hmmm...

House of Baulch

Let's face it, Rachel Zoe gets a really bad wrap. She starves her clients, is totally neurotic and bosses her husband around like he's some kind of poor working dog. Personally, I find all this very entertaining and am therefore totally addicted to her show The Rachel Zoe Project. But even if I wasn't, there's no denying it - she has great style. And these necklaces by former Mimco designer, Kathryn Baulch, are so Zoe it's bananas. They are also very affordable and new to Frisck, so we are totally excited by them. Would also make for great Christmas pressies. Pop in and check them out. Like now.

Am I dating a Mormon?

It never ceases to amaze me the way a single garment can look so different on various individuals. I, for example, recently tried on a lovely navy summer frock. While it looked amazing on my friend, who subsequently bought it, it made me look like someone who should be handing out 'Embrace Christ' pamphlets at Flinders Street Station. Which brings me to my friend who is currently dating a very neat dresser. So neat, he could in fact be mistaken for someone who spends his Sunday mornings door knocking in an attempt to save wayward citizens from the wrath of Satan.

The dilemma, of course, is what should one wear when in the company of a man of such tidy appearance?

He hates leggings, so they're out, and it's possibly not too far-fetched to assume that one should also avoid gold hotpants, jeggings and 'I heart my (picture of pussycat)' tees. This gorgeous dress by Natasha, however, is perfect for all occasions. Sexy, but not overtly so, this is one frock that won't be likely to offend Mormons, but nor will it make a girl look like one.

I wish Mischa Barton would wear this...

So I'm stuck in the beginning of this century, when we were all carefree, but I truly believe Mischa Barton sparkled on The OC. So what happened? A series of fashion crimes, that's what. Sometimes I even think about her and wish she would go back to her stylish Marissa Cooper roots and have a comeback or something. I hear she's trying with The Beautiful Life, but sadly, it's apparently very bad.

Which is why I think it would be a good idea for her to rock this gorgeous Cohen et Sabine number. So Mischa. In a good way. And check out the embroidery detail.

Top 10 teetotal celebrities

Not only is this SQ top drop-dead fabulous, there is no denying that it's hip to be square. Welcome to the Frisck teetotal celebrity awards. Top ten finalists include:

Alice Cooper
Kim Katrall
Kristin Davis
Jim Carrey
Tom Cruise
David Bowie
Adam Ant
Eminem
Isaac Asimov
David Beckham

But the winner, without a doubt, is none other than Tyra Banks. How she gets through taping after taping of America's next top model without a stiff drink is truly incomprehensible.

Summer saving

The lovely ladies at Fleur Wood describe this little number as a 'hardworking summer-saver.' And with this crazy, first-time-in-100-years heatwave we have going on at the moment, we could all use a couple of those. Pair with a pomegranate vodka cocktail and a cool breeze. Ah, the heavens have opened...

A little white top and a little black dress...

In many ways, the little white top and the little black dress couldn't have been more different. Little white loved kittens, walks on the beach and sunset picnics. Little black loved horror films, vodka martinis and graveyards. But for all their differences, Little black and Little white were BFFs because, you see, they were devoted to gorgeousness and neither owned a pair of tracksuit pants. And they knew that if they were ever to become famous, they would never, EVER appear in a NW crimes against fashion story. Nor would they show up on the Go Fug Yourself website. And if worst came to worst and they were chased down Rathdowne St by the paparazzi, they would always be stylishly clad.

* Top and dress both by Cohen et Sabine.

Best dressed: Nancy Botwin from Weeds

Okay, so it's kind of embarrassing to admit, but I once did a Google search to find out where they get Nancy Botwin's clothes on Weeds. Because while she may be a self-obsessed drug pushing, drug-lord loving, child-neglecting TV character, she always wears the cutest outfits. Then I stumbled upon this frock and thought, 'That is so Nancy!' Don't you think?

It's actually by local designer, Natasha, who I think should ship one over to the Weeds wardrobe people ASAP!
