I Like Wearing Red: Tracksuit Ruts and Finding Your Zing Colour

April 18, 2011

“Mum, is red your favourite colour? Because you often wear red.” I do wear red often. However, if I had to pick just one colour as a favourite, it would actually be blue. But I like wearing red. Red is bold and bright. Red is happening and vibrant. Red makes me feel confident and alive. So [...]

My Style: I Feel Like Spring — Maxi Dress

October 11, 2010

Nothing says spring like the colours of flowers. This photo was taken when our family visited the annual Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers. If you live in South East Queensland, make an effort to visit.

August 26, 2010

Firstly, the sizes are so small, they make me feel depressed. Secondly, I do love great quality clothes when I can afford them. Thirdly, I try to ‘dress my age’ [...]

My Style 20.6.10: Class

July 2, 2010

Today I dressed in a jersey jumpsut (am I too old for a jumpsuit?). I threw on my red coat, gold flats and handmade scarf and then, the mail came… In the mail came my gorgeous Kellie Christie button brooch. It would have looked fine with the outfit I was wearing, but fine is never a good word is [...]
