Let them eat cake! I recently saw Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette & really enjoyed it. Normally I loathe period films, & Kirsten Dunst doesn’t do much for me much either, but this was a complete visual thrill. The clothing was as amazing as the colour-scheme & the cakes were incredible. Anyway, I really liked the […]
Have I mentioned recently how much I love answering questions? I received this one recently… Here’s a very “hypothetical” question for you. How would you start over if some tragedy befell your wardrobe and you were left with formal gowns, lingerie, an old pair of jeans that stopped looking good at least a year ago […]
Last week I received an email from somebody asking me how I got to know so many people. It surprised me, because I don’t consider myself a very “popular” person — I’m no Ben Brown, after all — but thought I would have a go at answering the question anyway, since I certainly have opinions […]
I recently received an email from a reader with a quandary: I often find myself flipping through fashion magazines that point out ideas for shapes, etc. & what is best to wear… But they NEVER EVER have anything about long torsoed tall women.

The other day I wrote about what benefits you may experience from taking photographs of your daily outfits. Continuing from there, I have some more suggestions for you. Have you started photographing your clothing yet? I hope so. (Of course, you don’t have to put any of the pictures online unless you have strong exhibitionistic […]
Yesterday I posted about the benefits of taking daily outfit photos. I’ve been looking through my old ones (they are here if you’re interested), & thought I would sum a few up. Daily Outfit, 1st December 2005. I really liked this outfit when I put it on, & it looks good even in retrospect. I […]
Daily Outfit, 26th December 2006. I was on my way to deliver a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses. There has been a severe temperature drop in Melbourne — this month we had the hottest December day on record in 53 years & also the coldest Christmas day EVER — which is why I’m wearing wool. I […]
Even though this is my first post here, it is in reponse to a cry for help from a friend in New Zealand. She wrote to encourage me to take the plunge into style blogging, & when I asked what arena she wanted help in, she said: I guess the first issue would be […]
