Two in one!

In these economically tumultuous times, everyone's looking for a bargain. Hello Costco! But no need to resort to the $50 Calvin Klein jeans table. This little frock by Kate Sylvester is a true two-in-one marvel. Love the contrasting fabrics. And just think of the hundreds of ways you could style it. An investment piece if ever I saw one.

I am a painter

There was a time when I dreamt of becoming a tortured artist/painter. I even went so far as to wish I was a Piscean rather than an anally retentive Virgo. Sadly, I possessed no talent for painting and I am still a Virgo. But at least I'm not tortured. Really. I'm fine.

I mean, at least I can look like a painter. And in this postmodern, digitally enhanced age, image is more important anyway. Isn't it?

A cascade of irresistability

I have traipsed my way up to many waterfalls in my time. A cascade of loveliness they most certainly were. As lovely as this silk Cascade dress by TL Wood?

You be the judge.

On Cloud 9

Every girl needs a floaty dress. The kind of thing you just pull on over your head and feel all breezy and feminine even on an off day. How gorgeous is this 'Cloud' dress by Blak Basics? Wear with tights until the weather finally gets its act together.

Also available in black.

New House of Harlow in store now

Even though Nicole Richie's blog doesn't provide a lot of juicy, intimate tit-bits about her life it is still kind of addictive. I mean, I still wish she and Rachel Zoe would become friends again and do a reality show together. Or that they would at least talk about why they hate each other and get it over with. Is it because everyone blamed Rachel when Nicole got really skinny? And what's the deal with Paris? And that husband of hers? Is he a womaniser or what?

Whatever. Her jewelry rocks. As does her hair.

The always versatile stripe

Oooh...a stripe tank that offers a relaxed fit AND is made of silk.

Plus, it's super cute when tucked into this season's must have denim skirt.

Wow!

Like many a teenager growing up in the 1990s, I wanted to learn how to tie-dye. How cool, I thought, to revamp an old bonds tee with tripes of pink and purple, maybe some green? Plus, it would match my Fudge hair color. Beauty!

I have come a long way since then. As has tie-dye. Check out these amazing Opening Ceremony velvet mules. You certainly wouldn't find these amongst the skull-shaped bongs at Off Ya Tree. No, you'd more likely see them on Chloe Sevigny. And at Frisck, of course.

Hunting for buried treasure

Every now and then I go through a phase of organising my wardrobe. Sometimes, when I stumble upon my favourite dress that I forgot I had, it's like finding buried treasure. Like if I happened to discover this 'treasure' tee by Secret Squirrel buried under a mass of old cardis, I'd be one happy hunter indeed. Might be time to get neat and tidy once again.

Also available in white.
