“Anyone can get dressed up and glamorous but it is how people dress in their days off that are the most intriguing.” – Alexander Wang I’m pretty sure Alexander wasn’t thinking of ‘active wear’, the fashion-scourge of the suburbs, when he said this. Sure, it is easy, fast and comfortable to pull on some lycra, sports […]

The end of trends … today
posted by lifeaswewearit
So the last of the ‘trends’ wrap up – when there aren’t really trends any more, at the same time as there are so many more than I’ve included in this recent wrap up. But sticking with the original list from whowhatwear.com for now … ‘Pleated pieces’ It has really been a long time between […]

A Pair and a Spare
posted by lifeaswewearit
Of trends, that is. Continuing with the review I’ll chunk a few together today. Unlike slip dresses, or mules (coming soon), these three feel a little more transient – they may be the fluro to the boyfriend jean, where one burnt bright (literally) and then fizzled, and the other slowly crept into the fashion vernacular and lodged itself. […]

Look at me, I’m dungareed
posted by lifeaswewearit
I felt a little self conscious when I put these dungarees on this morning (for the first time, they only arrived, via ebay and Spain, yesterday). Surprisingly it wasn’t so much an ‘am I too old for these?’ moment, more a ‘is this too much of a look?’ moment. I’ve been getting these moments a […]

A scarf a day keeps winter blues away
posted by lifeaswewearit
Source: witanddelight.com I have another post half written that bemoans the dreariness of dressing in winter. I’ll have to keep that for another day, because I found this gorgeous homage to the winter scarf on another’s blog, via pinterest (obsessed!). I love every look. Ironically, winter in Sydney this year is lucky to be mistaken […]
Mellow Yellow
posted by lifeaswewearit
As much as I loved my white shoe moment earlier in the day, it’s always good getting my feet horizontal. I am no Sarah Jessica Parker/Carrie in the heel department. I am loving my half price on sale, faux-Celine, genuine-Zara skater style shoes. I’m wondering if even a little more than my Givenchy version. Which […]
New hair, Sore Feet
posted by lifeaswewearit
Love my new shoes, until they took the skin off the back of my heels. I’m all for suffering for style in Darlinghurst, but I’m back in the office now. I hope this is one of those situations where my heels get used to the shoe, as I had planned all sorts of everyday outings […]
Grey Day and Beanie
posted by lifeaswewearit
Perky necklace my attempt to bring a little brightness to a most miserable, wet weather day. (Necklace is from Zara, Isabel Marant grey jacket and the rest you’ve seen before.) Related articles How To Wear: Beanies. (stylecreeper.com)
Vans for Nans?
posted by lifeaswewearit
Phoebe Philo’s minimalist and simple structural handiwork is all over this big shoe trend. (Not that we ever get much chance to get our hands on her work in Australia.) Whoever did it first, plenty have followed and the northern summer looks like Skater Girls have gone all designer and are working a whole bunch […]
Uli goes out
posted by lifeaswewearit
Finally out after dark and a reason to pull out dinner clothes. Funny how fast you forget how to pull together a relaxed, smart casual “out for dinner look” if you haven’t been out for an eternity (because of a late baby blessing). I think this is the hardest look to do because you can […]
