The sexayest Aussie couple ever, Kylie and Michael in 1990 Happy Australia Day to you all! Shamefully I haven’t been nearly as patriotic with my Australia Day outfit as I was with my Burns Night tartan. Today I am wearing: a 60s French dress, vintage Scottish scarf, vintage American cap, British leather gloves [...]

Never Let Me Go: The Book, The Film, The Clothes
One of the best books I have read this year is Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro. I didn’t expect to like it; I bought it because it had won some fancy prizes, and I therefore thought it was one of those books I ‘should’ read. So a few months ago, with a mental grimace, I [...]

The photos from yesterday’s Met Ball have already done the rounds, but I just had to share my own two top picks. Carey Mulligan, cute as a button in a 60s style lavender lace dress by Mui Mui, and fellow Australian Abbie Cornish glowing in a ruched navy satin full length Louis Vuitton gown (I [...]
