All about the 80s

There's been an 80s revival of sorts lately (hammer pants anyone?) and I thought it couldn't hurt to have a bit of an 80s dress up day - I'm not sure if the leg warmers are more Fame or Footloose but either way, Mummy tells me she wore them back in the day. I thought this grey marle t-shirt dress from OUCH was just perfect for the occasion and the one-sided ponytail topped off my '80s for a day' look!

Trifle goodies

For all my love of Right Bank Babies gear, I think my favourite part of my Trifle parcel ended up being this gorgeous t-shirt from And the Little Dog Laughed - I love the bird in the cage and I love the whimsical fabric on the sleeves and trim. Now if only summer would arrive so I can wear it!

Couture by Grandma

Grandma has a new sewing machine. She loves it. This is exciting beyond words as I'm fairly confident I am going to be the primary beneficiary of her crush on her fancy new machine!

I've been a helpful little granddaughter too and ordered some pretty summer material and sent it up to her - what Grandma doesn't like presents from her granddaughter?! Particularly such thoughtful ones...

Pink uggies

So I know I said in an earlier post that pink boots weren't practical and I am all about practical, but I think we all know that is not really true... on both counts as it happens.

I couldn't resist these Alex & Charli boots when I saw them. I can't actually recall where I saw them, but I remember seeing them and just having to have them - you know how it is? They've turned out to be remarkably practical this winter - warm and stylish. What more could a girl want?

Trifle Shoppe

I've made a heavenly new discovery just in time for Spring - Trifle Shoppe! Rather than having to trawl through a myriad of overseas stores to find designers and brands (only to then be devastated by the exorbitant cost of shipping to Australia!), they are all here on this gorgeously presented shopfront. It's not so much a shop, as a portal to shopping heaven!

Just in time for the arrival of Spring (11 days and counting!), I've stocked up on some Right Bank Babies goodies and bought some gorgeous MiniLala hairclips. Right Bank Babies is a brand I have fallen head over heels in love with, but getting my hands on new pieces has proved to be a challenge... until now! As soon as my parcel arrived I promise to introduce you!

Wonders will never cease

It's been a little while since I have last posted and I can only attribute that to my complete lack of enthusiasm for winter fashion... yes I know it was only a few months ago I was loudly extolling its virtues, however, when shops are filling up with Spring goodies, a jacket and boots no longer hold quite the appeal they did at the end of a long summer...

One item I have rarely been without on a cold winter's night has been a tried and true Bonds Wondersuit. Hardly the height of fashion I know, but sensing parental willingness to pay twice the price for anything provided it is labelled "organic", Bonds has come out with a new range of (organic) Wondersuits in bright, cheerful colours that are funky enough to pass muster. They are certainly an improvement on the insipid range of colours their usual Wondersuits come in and I think the lack of a collar is a huge improvement... not surprising they are harder to come across than hen's teeth!

Loz and Dinny

It always sends me into a little bit of a frenzy when I find something so kitschy and unique and Mummy was virtually in a trance when she bought this beautiful dress by Loz and Dinny. Just ask the lovely Gemma who designs these fabulous dresses - Mummy couldn't even remember what size she wanted for me! She's going to have to lift her game because I won't tolerate mistakes when she's buying me clothes. Mummy I mean, not Gemma!

I can't wait for it to arrive in the mail so I can start trying it on with things in my wardrobe. I think it will look gorgeous with skivvies and tights (yes, there's very little I don't think will look good with tights) for the rest of winter and then in summer I can run around in all my bare-legged glory.
