down the rabbit hole

Necklace - Made by C
Make Up - Benifit and Mac
Slip - Peter Alexander

Well just its nearly been a month since I hit the net, damn you daily work and internet shortage. But now I'm back and ready to indulge. So whats been going you may ask that has caused me to get stuck in the real world. Well.....I've been at a lingerie and sleepwear conference. Oh yes a few days to play with so many pretty things that my suit case could hardly fit all the yummy samples I brought back. So I will also be posting some conference images etc.

Well as you can see by the above shot this month I'm going for a bit of a darker look, plus I'm joining in the month long test of NO JEANS. A group of gals and I are trying to break the cycle of women always wearing jeans. So for all of november and december jeans will be put to the back of the wardrobe unless worn to work in (and since I don't actually plan on doing any manual labour during these months I think I'll be fine)

But the coolest thing I think for me is tomorrow is Halloween. Sure its not a big thing over here but it is my wedding anniversary and a great excuse to dress up.

So everyone go raid that sexy wardrobe you know you have and have some fun this weekend.

Luv & Lashes to you all

Sweet and Innocent...so they think

MakeUp - Benefit & Mac
Cardi - Portmans
Dress - Peter Alexander Slinky Nightie

Skirt (out of shot) - Route 66

Sometimes its less about the fashion and more about the details.

As spring fashion hits the world of Melbourne and stores are flooded with hats, feather and thoughts turn to frocks I've decided to see if I can bring some of that fashion fun and flair to work.
So today's outfit was aimed at being a bit sugar and spice. Apart from the usually lingerie inspired top which was actually a shortie nightie from Peter Alexanders Winter 2 Range worn under a tight black pencil skirt with blue trim from Route 66; I added my fav little handmade necklace and massive ivory flower.

Cherries & Made By C

Sunglasses by Portmans

I do love my rockabilly style especially when it comes to my jewellery. As you can see I have gone for the classic red and black, as well as cherries. This is a great style as you can put your own twist on it.

Must admit there is nothing i find better than finding a local gal who can use simple pieces that capture the vibe I'm after. I wear a few pieces from Made By C, and have to giggle when I see simple pieces in mass produced stores like Diva.

So I guess what I'm really trying to say is keep your eyes open for the indpendant designers, online and in that big wide world of ours. A great little web site (apart from Etsy) is Shanalogic , where you can find all manner of things from T-shirts to necklaces from all around the world.

Its one of my favourite days of the year.

Firstly its Mr's birthday so will be heading off on an adventure, plus its International Talk Like a Pirate day. Maps have been drawn up, provisions made and now we will head off to the fair old city of Melbourne for a full day. Plus CAKE!!!!!

Now in the mood to lace up a corset or two, or maybe I'll just put on my fav little retro dress. Photos to come...

Seduction thy name is Agent Provocateur

Normally I would save one of these beautiful stunning designs for my lingerie of the week but I just can't. Agent Provocateur have just launched their Autumn range and as always its to die for. Even though I'm heading into spring and summer these little gems have just enough colour to be forgiven to think they were made for us here in little Melbourne town. so now to the pretties

Ok so this has nothing to do with lingerie or fashion. Well maybe a little fashion, but mostly its football. Tonight Mr and I head out to the hallowed ground of the MCG for AFL Semi finals. Now I admit I am a Brisbane Lion living in melbourne (the home of AFL), so you can only guess at the excitement that greets me this morning as I wake to realise that in a few hours I will be dressing in my AFL finest to scream like a mad woman at the boys.

Top Ten reason for loving the Lions
1) I get to wear awesome gurnsy's at the game

2) You can watch the game while listening to music and have the best music video infront of you

3) You become part of a massive crowd holding their breath as one while we fight for goals

4) You can nickname the players to make it easier to follow. well I find it easier to yell out things like lukey, browny and bloodnut depending on who has the ball. shame some of my fav players have retired so i can no longer yell out "tell them your name pike", Scotty1, scotty2, GBH

5) You can get cool but odd accessories

6) You become part of a massive tribe that can be seen swarming their way to pubs, clubs and the game all day.

7) Triple Premiership - 2001, 2002, 2003

8) Just look at them

9) You get to have a pie, a beer and possible a quater time cornetto at the match

10) The team with special mention to Micahel Voss, Luke Power, Jonathan Brown, Simon Black, Daniel Rich, Daniel Merret, Travis Johnston,
