News Weekly- Star Style


One of my guilty pleasures (aside from shoes, ice cream, red wine, etc) is magazines.  I LOVE ‘em!!   For my indulgence this week I’ve just picked up the latest News Weekly Magazine.  A bit of celebrity gossip, check out which star is wearing what, the odd Sudoku, and this week, even a peek inside beautiful Rachael Finch’s fridge! What more could a gal want when you want to chill out. 

I must admit I rather like the Man of the Week article (page 50) “Hellllooo Mark!” but the 13 page Your Go-To Guide For Fashion & Beauty are my favourite pages, a great source of inspiration and ideas for this little fashion blogger.

Star Style Look of the Week immediately caught my eye with stunning Nicole Richie in a summery yellow frock and the most amazing shoes and accessories.   The kind folk in my New Weekly Subscription have even sourced the goods for us, and I am totally hot footing it down to Colette this week to snatch up that bling-fabulous snake bracelet that is featured in this article. The dress and clutch are exact matches too!   I had no idea that these pieces would be so easily accessible and affordable. The images are really clear and colourful with each piece clearly labelled including a phone number or a website making it nearly too easy for me to track those beauties down.

Turn a few pages and my wish list grows again.  Star Style Budget or Blowout, we get to guess which one is pricey and which is the bargain, and I can tell you I was pretty much wrong EVERY time! The bargain options NW magazine have sourced from stores like Diva, ASOS, Colette and Dotti are seriously impressive.  It’s great that we can all play with new trends without breaking the bank.  The gold cuff from Colette is my favourite pick at a mere $13 - now that’s two pieces I’ll be picking up from Colette ; )

These great articles are regulars so I can’t wait to see which celebs are inspiring these articles next issue.

Summer, where are you?


Yes, I know the glasses look a little huge and ridiculous, but they are a bit of fun  ; )

Pants- Country Road
Shirt- Forever New
Shirt- Sportsgirl
Blazer- Zara

The Melbourne Summer has kicked off with rather a dismal start, cool and decidedly un-Summery! But the good news is my blazer's are still in rotation, as well as my classic Steve Madden black suede pumps : )  This is what I wore out for brunch on High Street, Armadale with my hubby on Saturday.  Afterwards we stopped off in stunning Toorak for some sneaky pics outside a the front gate of a very fancy pants home!   Also wearing my new lippy from MAC, I felt ready to notch a the brightness- just a tad.

And a few pics of brunch for you, I LOVE jam! One of my absolute favourite things in the world.

November REWIND


Summer has arrived - HOORAY! Although I did need my woolley gloves on my bicycle ride to work this morning (crazy Melbourne weather)!!  It's interesting looking back on a month of outfits, I seem to have worn white, black, green and blue with accents of RED!  Not intentional at all, but it certainly seems to be my Spring palate ; )


p.s. GIVEAWAY very soon!
