Sweet Outfit: 06/11/08

Day four of Gala Darling's Wardrobe Taming Program and I'm starting to find some great finds in my "don't wear" pile. These include the skirt from yesterday and this gorgeous dress. It's used to be one of my favourite party frocks but someone got replaced by others. Today I'm dressing it down with a blazer and fedora. This shoot from taken in my small bathroom which I havent shown on this blog yet. I love the tiling in this room, although it is a little cramed in size.

- Green Ruffle Dress from Supre 2006
- Blazer from Capture Design
- Fedora from Jay Jays

Suprisingly Sweet Outfit: 5/11/08

Good Morning Sweetharts,
On Monday I began Gala Darling's Wardrobe Taming Program. She got me to take all the clothes I owned out of their drawers & wardrobes and put them onto the bed to sort. The things I had worn recently or knew I'd wear in Summer went back in my wardobes, as well as the sentimental things like formal dresses. The others were put to the side to look at yesterday. Yesterday afternoon I had to begin to construct outfits out of what I had in my 'dont wear' piles.

Today is my third day on Gala Darling's Wardrobe Taming Program. I made another outfit out of the pile of possible throw aways. Today I decided I want to keep both this cardigan and skirt! They work so well together.





- Pink Cardigan from Free Fusion @ Target 2007
- White tank top from Jay Jays
- Purple skirt from Supre 2005



During my photo shoot it started raining so I got a little wet out on the uncovered area of my back deck but all it did was add to my enthusiasm.

My dog Mia joined in on the fun. She's sleeping now. Being photographed is such hard work!

Weekly Top Five: 03/11/08

I recently released I have not included the Chanel 2.55 in my weekly top five before so I just had to put it on this week's top five. I am still incredibly in love with shoe boots and bangles and aline skirts never seem to fade from my day dreams.

DOTTI review "Fashion awards"

Dotti, a fabulous brand and the winner of 2008's "Most popular Chain Store" award, is featured in many Australian Magazines every month. These include Cleo, Shop!, Cosmo and Madison. So why is it so big?

"Dotti has grown-up. It all started in 1981 when founders Raymond Levis and Linda Bowen opened the first Dotti store in Sydney's Centrepoint. The Dotti name was inspired by Linda's fabulous mother Dorothy, a true fashion icon, but rumour has it the fabulous shopping strip Via Condotti in Rome may have been it's true origin. Now owned by The Just Group, Dotti has grown into a collection of 66 stores across Australia and New Zealand." Dotti Website



In 2007 it was none other than Peaches Geldolf who was the face of Dotti. This year it's been showcased by young Australian Models who are true to the Dotti ideals.

With 66 stores across Australia and New Zealand it's hard not to own an item from the chain. They have become bigger than Cotton On, Ice Design and Bardot put together. Girls aren't shopping at Myer anymore. Dotti is the place to go to be 'IN'.



To find out more about the brand head to their Website. It has listings of their stores and newest products avaliable.

Sweet Outfit: 01/11/08

Hey Sweetharts,

So today I hung at home, did some cleaning, reading, blogging and went out to the shops to buy things to cook a marvellous feast. So not much really. I felt like accesorising today so that's why I'm wearing basics with lots of accesories like a belt, scarf and bolero. I love these heels. They are defintely my favourite!!!!

The clothes I'll be wearing the next week or so may be a little different from usual as I'm going to be doing Gala Darling's Wardrobe taming program to get my wardrobe into shape. She's going to get me to wear all sorts of different pieces and mix and match what I haven't before. I'll write notes on the program so I can give you a full review on how well it went.

Here's what I wore today...



- Jay Jays White Tank
- Gloriano yellow bolero
- Valleygirl floral sheer scarf
- Dotti Chambray rara skirt
- Ice Design Tan Belt
- Dotti Brown Clutch purse
- Bracelet and Hoop earrings by Diva
- Heels by Wildfire
