Thin Lizzy

May 5th 2010 11:25

Not usually one to be lured by info-mercials - I was lured. It may not have come to your attention yet, but there is a one stop make-up product on the market that really is good - Thin Lizzy

As this strip of images shows, it does six things, thus replacing a bulging bag of past their use by date cosmetics that like me, I'm sure is nesting in your bathroom drawer.

At the horror of my children, who thought I was well above the 'Sham-Wow' style advertising influence, I purchased Thin Lizzy online. The selling point for me was really replacing all of the overwhelming makeup products I have accumulated over the years and being able to tote around my makeup in my handbag.

For $49.95 plus p&h my TL makeup arrived. It came with eyeliner and lipgloss. But wait, there was more - 2 entire sets of it all.

To be honest, it has taken a couple of weeks to get the balance of the bronzer right, but overall, getting my makeup on in the morning is much quicker, looks more natural and because it all fits in my bag, it's easy to reapply when I'm out.

Go to www.thinlizzy.com.au watch the clip and see what you think.

Clever Clogs

March 1st 2010 11:14

They're back. But before you roll your eyes (or ankles), look here. Clogs may have resurfaced, but their latest incarnations are quite cute. Still not sure, well check out the interpretations from Steve Madden

and Ralph Lauren

I would very much like to have a pair of the sandal - y versions like these:

If you are finding clogs difficult to come to terms with because have been overexposed in recent times to these

try to put these thoughts to one side and focus on the new clog boots ahead for Winter.

I can't help being impressed by Artisterin's 'clog outfit', which she says is fashioned on the look of Debra Winger in An Officer and a Gentleman.

As much as I love the new clog looks, if I am to be true to myself, it will be these clogs that I will more than likely to be pruning my lavenders in.

Sensible Swimmers

February 7th 2010 10:49

It's not often (in fact unheard of) that a swimwear trend appears and you're immediately certain you'll look divine in it. Well suddenly here it is - the vintage swimdress - and it just shows if you wait around long enough, a fashion trend will reappear that you knew was right for you if only you lived in the era. All we have had to do is wait fifty years. The flattering 'swimdress' has returned, shielding innocent onlookers from belly bulge and (horror) pubic indiscretion.

Of course, Michael Kors' version is very St Tropez/Resort, but that's usually the look we are trying to achieve when we are scooping dead beetles out of the skimmer box- isn't it? Perhaps in his wisdom, he designed the matching bag for scattering the dead on the garden bed.

If you can't bring yourself to sport the pious style, here is Juicy Couture's interpretation. Almost looks like a Victoria's Secret night ensemble (maybe you'll have two outfits in one).

Of them all, I really think Urban Outfitters (above) have the look nailed. Vintage and polka dots - a match made in heaven!

Have fun flaunting yourself this summer and if you're concerned about the expense of new togs - consider the money you will be saving on Nair.

Hair Dressing

December 8th 2009 12:49

Sometimes a hat is too much. However, plain old hair just doesn't seem right with the lovely 50's inspired floral dresses that are all about this summer. For those of you who lie awake at night and ponder this fashion dilemma, there is a solution - glammed-up hair combs

Bygone Beads

October 8th 2009 12:42

In my usual manner of finding something with a history to make a part of my future, this season I have rediscovered the beauty of vintage costume jewellery. It's not hard to uncover, in fact I'm sure most of us have bits and pieces entiwined around each other at the bottom of our faithful old jewellery boxes. Now is the time to go and see what you have

Big on Boden

April 4th 2009 08:52

With the sudden influx of UK families here on the Mornington Peninsula, I have had the opportunity to talk fashion to Northern Hemisphere girls. A common lament from them has been that they have had to leave their beloved Boden store behind. Intrigued by a fashion label that evokes such passion in a group of like-minded women, I had to check it out. So after a quick surf, I became a convert

Fringe Benefit

February 27th 2009 10:24

I recently had a nice full fringe chopped back into place, and I must say it has had its benefits. It sits at eyelash length, so I can actually observe situations through it without it being obvious. More importantly though, any thoughts I may have had about botox are now redundant, as the fringe covers the furrows. But best of all, a (very astute) friend likened my look to Uma Thurman's character in Pulp Fiction
