Belt it, belt it good

Okay, so I have many guilty pleasures. Watching Brothers and Sisters while thinking that Rob Lowe's character isn't that bad even though he's a republican, playing the computer game Plants vs Zombies with my (too) young daughter, 'accidentally' letting my dog run out the gate when I can't be bothered taking him for a walk. But what I love most is looking at 'style' blogs where 'ordinary' people post pictures of themselves, showcasing their daily outfit. One of my faves would have to be Academic Chic. So some of the fashions are a little dubious. But there is something so generous about it, as though these women genuinely want to demonstrate that fashion can be accessible and democratic and completely unwanky.

Which brings me to these Midge belts. I know for a fact that A would absolutely love them. She belts everything. Cardis, jeans, dresses, skirts, shirts. And it really suits her. I love the light tan one myself, but if I know A, she'd be all about chocolate brown. Yummy.

Cure for a broken heart

These amazing necklaces are straight from Dani M's 'I won't go breaking your heart' range.

Oh yes you will, Dani M! In fact, my heart is already broken, primarily because I don't yet have one of these in my own personal jewelry collection. Though I suppose they would make a fabulous Christmas pressie. Don't you think? Hint, hint...

The top who could fly

One of my childhood dreams was meeting the boy who could fly. I thought that maybe I could jump on his back or something and we could go flying together. Whenever I watched that movie I cried. Which brings me to yet another flying marvel by Sneak design. I just love the way the embellish their clothes with blimps, hot air balloons and other magical flying contraptions. Is definitely the next best thing to meeting the boy who could fly, who would no doubt be some washed up bitter has-been these days any how.

Bringing blimp back

Nobody wants to be called a blimp. Unless they have seen this top. Then they absolutely know that blimp is the new black, the new ironic asymmetrical hairdo and the new old school push bike rolled into one oasis of smokin' hot coolness.

Summer wear that is not floral

Is it a top? Yes! Is it a dress! Yes! Is it perfect for a hot summer's day when you really don't feel like wearing a summer frock? Yes!

Satu's versatile summer piece. Fabulous.

Solid Gold

When I was a wee lass, all I wanted was to be on Young Talent time. Those were the glory days. Danni was the famous sister, hair crimpers were todays Ghd and mastering the art of smiling while singing was de riguer. If I couldn't be on YTT, the other job I thought would be pretty cool was to be one of the Solid Gold dancers. Which brings me to this dress. It's not quite the same as appearing on an 80s talent show, but it's gold right? Solid gold.

Sneak peak

As much as I love donning a crazy outfit, I don't know if I would have the courage to wear this headpiece in my daily life. If nothing else, it would be very inconvenient when paired with a cycling helmet or while walking under low hanging branches. These Sneak design dresses, however. Definitely! I love the way they are simple and versatile, but with so much potential as both the perfect picnic and party dress. And the orange ribbon shoulder straps. Brilliance.
