The pearly gates have opened

I've experienced too-short-at-the-back dress anxiety ever since the time I traipsed around Carlton with my frock tucked into my knickers. So I'm naturally very excited about TL Wood's devine dress in pearl. The heavens have opened and the light is finally shining through. And my knickers will never been seen publicly again. Praise the Lord.

Forget me not

Forget you not? I most certainly won't. Not with your delicate floral print and striking orange detail. What a lovely dress to don on a sunny spring day, with flowers in your hair and a pretty coral pedi.

And yes. On Saturday it's going to be a cloud free 21! Time to celebrate.

The wrap-sensation

Is there a woman alive who doesn't look great in a wrap dress? We are in love with this Spring-tastic number by Kate Sylvester. So pretty and wearable. Definitely one of this season's best.

In the navy

I didn't think much of my grade one teacher, Miss Williams. In spite of being a grown woman she talked in baby talk and wore way too much lycra for my tastes. I did, however, love it when she took us for Huff n' Puff and played nothing but The Village People. Her rendition of their hit song, In the Navy, was particularly spectacular.

Every time I wear this Secret Squirrel silk skirt I will think of Miss Williams and the pigtails she often wore. And I will hope that while she's still huffing and puffing, she's done away with the stretch fabrics and baby voice. I urge you all to hope along with me.

Cocktails anyone?

How to make a Caipirnha

For this yummy Spring cocktail you will need:

8 limes, halved, each half cut into quarter
45g (1/4 cup, lightly packed) brown sugar
1 cup ice cubes
250ml (1 cup) dark rum

Then you just need to:

Put the limes and sugar into a bowl and pound with the end of a rolling pin until the limes are crushed.

Spoon the lime mixture evenly among your very best serving glasses. Top with ice and pour over the rum.

Don this Cohen frock.

Drink.

Enjoy!

More Spring gorgeousness that we're dying to wear...

In case you hadn't noticed, we're a little bit mad about Zimmermann this season at Frisck. The prints are divine, the fit flattering and the quality? Top notch. Now if only the sun would cooperate, we're ready for Spring, OK. Hello. Sun. Are you out there? We're waiting for you.

Crazy stripes

Some people think those who wear horizontal stripes are crazy. They say stripes make an individual appear short and fat. I have even heard horizontal stripe wearers referred to as crazy stripes. Can you imagine?

Time for a revolution. Embrace those crazy stripes and wear them with pride. Kate Sylvester certainly has. And we love her for it.
