Park It Here Luv

If you have been anywhere near a shopping centre over the past few weeks, you have undoubtedly spied four-hundred-million styles of parkas in stores.

Let me say from the get go, before I show you how to wear them, that parkas are not for everyone.  They are bulky and sometimes puffy and will add visual weight to the wearer.  This is an example of one of those trends that you should choose carefully.

If you need a parka purely for warmth - like sitting on the sidelines at a sporting event - then grab yourself the biggest puffiest one you can find my friend, however if you are looking for a fashionable addition to your winter wardrobe, my advice is to think about your frame and how you are going to wear it before you purchase.

Here are some of my ideas for how to wear your parka ...

Now that I have my new 70's haircut, I have become even more 70's obsessed if that's possible.

I started school in 1973, so I spent much of my childhood listending to Zepplin, AC/DC, wearing flares, conte's, staggers jeans, treads, miller shirts and basically having a groovy ol' time, which is I suppose why this era resonates so well with me. (and yes, that's little ol' me in my miller shirt circa 1976).

ps:  Did you know that Staggers Jeans are still around?   www.staggersjeans.com.au

Have you seen the new Chloe Love fragrance ad?   70's glamour in all it's glory.  The fragrance however is a little like Charlie & Cie had a love child.  *cough cough* not a fan. 

Naturally, I'm loving the 70's influenced fashion around at the moment.  Here's some outfits to give you a little 70's inspiration ...

 .....................................................................................................................................

If you want get yourself a little 70's style, don't feel the need to deck yourself head to toe in full 70's glam as shown here and sharpie dance everywhere.  Simply spice up your look with one a great pair of clogs, a groovy satin blouse, a floppy sun hat, a jumpsuit, a 70's inspired handbag or a 70's haircut!

Peace out.

Spring Layering

My sister has style issues when it's 21 degrees.  


She knows what to wear when it's cold and she knows what to wear when t's hot, but she NEVER knows what to wear when it's 21.  


She has resigned herself to the fact that the either goes to work feeling cold or comes home feeling hot.  So my dear Sis, this post is especially for you!


The key to trans-seasonal style is layering.  Being able to layer up or peel layers off as needed, so you always feel 'just right'.


Pants are a great option for trans-seasonal dressing.   A lightweight shirt, cropped jacket and peep toe shoes will get you in the spring mood, and the fabulous trench coat that you bought during winter is perfect to wear in the morning to keep you toasty until the sun comes out.
