Rub Shoulders with…

Bare one or bare both, shoulders are everywhere. We love Kate Sylvester’s Reptile dress in bold print and Camilla & Marc’s Zahra frock. Not to be outdone, style Lover’s floaty Bianca dresses off shoulder for a completely new take on this season’s covetable must-have .

Sink Your Teeth

Being a huge fan of Anne Rice’s Vampire literature and movies, I am not too ashamed to say I do like the Twilight movie saga though their intended audience is much younger… sigh… I am however not too old to be sporting Marnie Skillings’ New Vampire dress – a simple, sexy racer back maxi with soft ruffles down the side. Great with a pair of flat sandals for balmy nights on the beach or a pair of Louboutins for a night on the prowl. Robert Pattinson eat your heart out!

Make a Splash

How I long for a good stretch of warm sunny days! Though I know our reservoirs need the rain, I have been cooped up at home with bubs for the past seven and a half months. Little Nate is such a different baby when he’s out in the fresh air. Meanwhile for those of you about to jet off to the tropics, Camilla & Marc’s swim and resort collection has come ashore. Their resort collection includes light cotton mini and maxi dresses in sweet floral or animal prints.

Take a Bow

My late father, in his government posts, sported well tailored suits near seven days a week and boasted a collection of some 500 ties. Amongst his conservative wardrobe, he had a penchant bow ties which I found really quirky. A bow tie was one of the last gifts I ever gave to him. The apple doesn’t fall far from a tree so I love bows on bags, shoes and dresses. Rachel Gilbert puts a playful, youthful spin on her Talia dresses with a giant bow at the bodice.
