Power Dressing






My red obsession is clearly evident...so sue me! This red vintage number i love! It reminds me of the 80s power dressing and leaves me reminiscing of Samantha off Sex and the City...hello bombshell! I hope. Sexy without being too revealing, one or the other is usually the way i go; cleavage or legs and maybe both for extra special occasions.

I love playing with makeup different colours make it all the more fun. Big brows are important to me, i feel they play such an important part in framing the face. You are probably wondering what is going on with my legs, so to answer your question,they are stockings. However i have been followed down the street whilst wearing these and people have yelled 'nice tatts' hmm i know what you're thinking they should come with a warning. So only wear if you want attention....

DRAPE ME



<



I find that when you travel to places whether new/ old, near or far its always nice to take away a little memento whether it be a great coffee, a great experience or perhaps a new piece of clothing? You're probably thinking that i walked away with the later but to be honest it was all three. A drive to Hobart a fantastic coffee from Campbell Town, a great time catching up with friends and a fabulous new purchase to wear to my sisters going away drinks.

As soon as i laid eyes on this long lined beige/ blush jacket i was in need of it. I love the length, the way it falls and the fact that it has pockets and sleeves!! It was a bargain steal at $149 from Belle & Paige boutique. The brand is staple and i will be keeping my eye out for more of their designs. It looks fantastic with a skinny belt cinched at the waist giving it a more wintry day time feel.

Being a Friday night i wanted to add a lil glam without being too OTT so bling i did in a sequin mini. To tone it down a black t-shirt made it a lil less revealing. I love snake inspired jewellery and the fact that this necklace is black, silver and gold makes it not too matchy with other accessories. My bronze jewelled cuff was a present from Mama gifted from Paris. The clutch is actually an ipad case from Sportsgirl, i love the colour reminds me of Hermes, i can only dream. As for the shoes i love the height and the laces, a night without a heel is like a lonely night in......... and we cannot have that

Race You To The Bar







In case you hadn't figured it out yet, i am in love, lust and infatuated with all things red. To me red represents; power, sex appeal, assertiveness and being in control. Without even registering what i am doing i start walking towards items in bright hues of red. Whether it is sheets, lipstick, handbags or perhaps a leather skirt? I was walking past a vintage window display where everything was red, vibrant and in my eyes fabulous. I saw a red leather skirt and immediately i had to see more. I tried it on but was unsure i could barely bend in the thing and yes it could be perfect for those standing cocktails but honey my heels aren't made for comfort! So i left annoyed that my hips did not lie in the leather skirt.

I was still thinking about the skirt and it was only $40! so i returned i tried my hips were somewhat more forgiving the second time round and voila purchase i did. I decided to snip the lining a wee bit before heading out because lets face it a rip as i park my rear is not preferred. I am happy that i returned, purchased and are now in deep love with my red leather skirt. A stripe tee made it slightly more demure and a bling belt ring and glomesh clutch takes it from cafe to bar, heels are essential and a blazer is a must have.

If you haven't dabbled in a red fetish i suggest trying it, you'll be completely in control....
