For those of you that don’t know it, Polyvore is a site for creating fashion-themed collages. Brands, designers and users can bookmark clothing, shoes and accessories from the internet, and then users can create little showcases for blogs and other media. I’ve used it a few times to show how to wear some of my [...]

I am the proud owner of two new, gigantic handbags that I really didn’t need. How could I resist them, when this season has brought back jumbo bags with zippers, detailing and colors that would defeat even the most budget-conscious girl? The biggest downside of my new lovelies is that they don’t have a whole [...]

This week I thought I’d feature the stunning face that makes my jewelry look even better! Laura Loveard is a makeup artist, based in Sydney who just happens to be my sister. Her work with color and shape is incredible, and she’s makes a talented model too. Here she is talking makeup, style and fashion: [...]

Each summer, one look reappears without fail: the all white outfit. This crisp look just screams hot days by the ocean and has always been associated with affluence. Think back and the upper classes have always had the luxury of wearing white – workers were unable to keep it clean, so it has come to [...]

Black and white is one of those hot color combinations that will always be in style. Strong, graphic prints and rock & roll edges will be a show-stopper every time.In a fashion world of color, sometimes stripping down to the strong lines and mixed textures of this color duo can be a real surprise. Pleats [...]

As much as I love summer weather, fall and winter have so much more to offer in the fashion department. Unless you’re a size 0, or can still cute in a baby doll dress, summer can be a harsh mistress. Bring on winter, with hefty, tailored coats, structured skirts, and full-impact boots. This year make [...]

Earrings come in all lengths, shapes and sizes. A big trend in the 80′s that resurfaced during the 90′s was wearing “shoulder dusters” that hung so far pass the shoulder, the wearer was at risk of losing an ear to a passing bus. Thankfully that look has subsided for now and earrings are back to [...]

When I said petite necklaces were out, I had no idea celebrities were going to embrace it so completely. According the Marie Claire, huge necklaces have been spotted on celebs like Claire Danes, Amy Adams, Beyonce and Kristen Bell. I’m not just talking big pendants either, I mean enormous, layered, colorful beads and chains in [...]

Alright ladies, spring is officially here, which means it’s time to start coming to terms with the idea of baring your legs. If you live in jeans like I do, that’s a little daunting. I can’t wait to start wearing anklets, barefoot sandals and toe rings again, but I’m not much of a skirt wearer. [...]

Spring is definitely on its way! Time to start pulling those skirts out of the back of the closet, and getting ready to bare our ankles. Anklets are such fun to wear and they add a little glitz and glamor. I’ve been intending to add more anklets to the site as the weather’s been warming, [...]

Elle reports this month that white will be the new black, or the new denim, or…it’s always hard to tell what we’re up to. Crisp white suits and accessories, white boots and oversized white belts, certainly do make for a striking ensemble. However, if you’re part of the regular population, like me, it’s a very [...]

The magazines are filled with bracelets this season, but if you work a desk job like me, you know how uncomfortable they are in conjunction with extensive keyboard use. Metal digging into one’s wrist and leaving marks is generally undesirable. But they’re so fun to wear, which makes it such a shame. I try to [...]

Looks like it’s time to pull out your arm warmers again! Big, bright, day-glow colors are making a spring come-back. Gucci, DKNY, and Michael Kors are all showing off their beach-side best. Keep it in line by sticking to block colors and simple prints like stripes and polka dots. Not ready to plunge into this [...]
