'Why Hello Sailor'



Presenting....

Wheels and Doll baby is an internationally renowned Australian-based fashion label founded by Melanie Greensmith and partner. The clothes are hailed '... to snare a millionaire' and is the epitome of sexualised glamour. I am hugely influenced by 1940s/1950s pin-up girls and the clothes really befit my voluptous figure. These are my two favourite outfits, the latter of which I purchased yesterday. I can't wait to wear it.....



I have this one in black and white and call it my 'why hello Sailor' outfit (tee hee!)


This is my NEW Scone and Tea party outfit.

I just bought this as a two-piece outfit. The skirt is longer to below knee and much more slinky and clingy to my curves, but the corset - ohmygawd - it's gorgeous, it is a black bra type tulle outlining the sweetheart neckline with a cute little slim black bow in the middle.

It was quite expensive but it's perfect. The print is so pretty and you can wear it during day or evening or even to weddings :). I'll do an OOTD ASAP....

....and like the silly little gal that I am, I have painted my nails 'Minted' by Revlon in preparation to wear this outfit tomorrow. Now, onto the makeup....hmmmmm - a red lip vs. bronzed summer look? Not sure.....

Vogue



I love, live, breathe fashion and I am so excited - the new September issue of Vogue is due for release in Australia very soon. Until then, some pictures of inspirational works of art by the pure genius creative director, Grace Coddington (seen in the film, The September Issue). Aaaahhhh....

Trinket Treasures

Whilst perusing Diva the other day, I found some really cutesy trinkets that i just had to have. I like to change my style and I often get excessively bored of always looking conservative for my job so I *let loose* on my days off and have fun!

I went for a few items with an Alice in Wonderland Tea Party idea.


Gold heart and teacup necklace AUD 7.99


Charm chain with a vintage feel AUD 14.99


These banging ghetto silver hoops AUD 9.99

And of course :) in keeping with the flavour of the month....this made me laugh at only AUD 9.99!


Good things come in small packages indeed :P

My Cute Little Finds


Sales.

Conjures images of line upon lines of stuffed rails hanging- sometimes dirtied, sometimes faulty - old stock mixed with a few of new collection's leftovers.

However, if one is prepared to scour - albeit dedicatedly-.... one can always find little treasures in the midst of the usual dross.

Here is such a cute little black cardigan with beautiful delicate detailing at the back. The find was a bargain at AUD39.95 at a little boutique in Glenelg.




In the same shop, I found the sweetest little skirt. It has cute ruffle details around the waist and will look so cute with this gold-buckled brown belt I picked up.




Next, as a wanton glamour goddess, I picked up this sexy little number.....at AUD 160, it's unique and flattering on my curvaceous figure - and yet again, in black and white - my two favourite colours ;P




Leaving the best for last.....Here lookey what I found, cluttered with all the other lonely shoes in Myer's shoe department....these li'l beauties at a BARGAIN (by Siren shoes) reduced from AUD169.95 to, wait for it......




....AUD59.95

And yes.

I did feel the need to pose.




Ahhhh so cute. I love the concept of 'hard yet soft', I see these pretties on my tootsies with maybe a cute little floral summer dress for a bit of a stylish and modern take- a sort of 'fashion oxymoron' :)

Oh - bring on the sunshine, I say.

KK is my muse...



Kim Kardashian is so beautiful and I am just loving this dress...so feminine yet sexy. She says dark purple is a replacement for black in Fall/Winter. In Australia, it is now spring, but I reckon this dress can be worn any time of the year. I need to get me one of those.....*sigh*.

Let the search begin....

That dress!



Ok - I am not a fan of VB. Never have been, never will be and I'll never understand the fuss... however, I do admit the woman has style. This was a dress she wore to an MTV awards show many years ago...but its classic and beautiful. I would love to have it in black sporting a bright red MAC ruby woo lippie....I think I had better keep on dreaming.....tee hee :)
