The week my six-year-old was my stylist

My daughter is a little fashionista. She constantly asks to choose my outfits. I have let her do so before, in January of this year and in August of last year. So after weeks (months) of saying, "Soon, soon," I had to let her at it again. Last ...

Why I’m not a fashion and beauty blogger

Why I participate in #everydaystyle

Why I participate in #everydaystyle

I ain't no fashion blogger.Seriously. I have one style. Straightforward. Choose a top, choose pants that match (or at least don't clash), choose shoes, throw on a coat (usually - I'm a Melburnian, after all) and walk out the door.Sometimes - ...
