What I wore to eat an entire packet of Pods…

Written by Rikki. Filed under Fashion, Movies, Weekend. 5 Comments.

… and some of Noodle’s maltesers… this was me from work then to a movie last night. Wearing a pink beret from ebay, a crap load of makeup, shoes from ASOS, second hand stone wash AWOL jacket (a personal fave) and a really cute dress from a shop off Bricklane in London that I don’t remember the name of. I call it my Jackson Pollock dress, it’s covered in paint splats and has this awesomely massive ruffle down the front, I love ruffles. It also has my favourite feature of any dress… POCKETS… I love the comforting feeling of slipping your hands into pockets, meanwhile the receptionist at work asked me if it was a top or a dress.. what a prude! Noods and I had a date night last night and went and saw Inception after work, it was so romantic as we stuffed our faces with supermarket bought treats and complained that we felt like we were going to die (but continued to stuff chocolate in) I really enjoyed the movie but man has Leo got that weird middle age face spread thing going on.. his face is sooo wide, it’s so weird how some dudes faces do that.

One Jacket. 2 Ways.

Written by Rikki. Filed under Fashion. Tagged . Comments Off.

God I hate magazine fashion talk… like “Here’s a skirt, let us show you how to wear it 5 different ways… like maybe with a belt, maybe with a singlet top and a necklace, etc, etc…” We get it people, it’s called putting clothes on and unless your Paris Hilton I’m, pretty sure we are all used to wearing the same item of clothing in different ways, yep it’s pretty basic stuff. So anyway here’s what I wore to work yesterday and then what I wore out for a Birthday dinner in the evening, you’ll notice I’m wearing the same Kermit jacket in both pics, another mag fashion favourite “From day to night with a few simple accessories!”

I told you I was going to do more outfit posts!

So left is work, yes my eyes are shut, best of a bad lot, a patient photographer my boyfriend is not…. I think everything is from an Op Shop apart from the stockings (got them in Melbs) and the Shoes which were a score on Ebay. I think I decided I just wanted to wear as much pink and purple as possible in the one outfit… My work colleagues think I’m a nut case meanwhile.

Then later I swapped out the demure length skirt for a sequin mini, brenton stripes and my fave Minna Parikka shoes, an amazing leaving gift from my London Studio… I also added another billion brooches and badges… More is more right?

Tightened purse strings.

Written by Nancy Magoo. Filed under Fashion. Tagged . 8 Comments.

For the last few weeks I’ve been cooped up at home trying to bang out these major essays. I have no idea about what they’re about but I’m getting better at waffling. Anyway, I distracted myself for about 15 minutes and made myself a Miu Miu inspired collar, because I am definitely not paying $200 for a real one. Seriously, fuck that.

(Shit) Outfit post

Written by Community College. Filed under Fashion. 3 Comments.

Okay, I realise this is a really poor effort on the photography front (and kinda outfit front) but hey, I’M TRYING OK? Had to use ol’ PJ’s iphone and have him snap me (which I hate, I like solo efforts where I can fully get my vogue on) at night in the office, no exactly ideal.

I swear I looked way cuter this morning! But yeah enough of my whinging…

So yah, this is one of my freebie masterpieces, the kinda shit I wear to the office. Also been rocking the head scarves like the Melbourne ho I am now. So good when you have dirty hair, which for me is all the time, shhhh.

Singlet and shirt: Stussy (freebies from my PR friend Ed! Ta!)

Shoes: Supra (more freebies, I love these and wear them every day. Like cons but not, which is good because cons can go suck a dick. I carry my advertising/work grudges through to my wardrobe quite often haha)

Jacket and skirt: Don’t even know, nothing brands.

Scarf: From that dodgy, Clear It joint on Brunswick.

Okay….so not the most exciting outfit ever, sorry. But I swear in person it’s quite the delight to the senses. Look Summer I come into my own people, this shit will improve. Why I may even acquire a CAMERA! Wouldn’t that be a novel concept.

Who likes short shorts?

I really wish I was wearing this outfit right now. Instead I am in Noodle’s dressing gown AND slippers.. chic!

I love everything about it (well she maybe needs to calm down on the tanning…)
Spotted over at Style Scout.

Gratuitous Outfit Post

Written by Rikki. Filed under Fashion. Tagged . 2 Comments.

I love outfit posts on other blogs so I thought I’d try to share some of mine from time to time, now that I have a camera again… So this is what I wore to work today… You know, just in case you were wondering.

Skirt: Zara. Crochet Singlet, belt and Jacket: 2nd hand. Shoes: ASOS.

Mmm you like my posing? I kinda look like a demented bird?  This is actually pretty blurry isn’t it, well you get the idea… My favourite part of this outfit? The crazy jacket.

I want new shoes!

Written by Nancy Magoo. Filed under Fashion, Shoes, Want. 5 Comments.

At the moment I’m saving for the little mini holiday I’m going to take in October and because I don’t get ANY holidays from Uni until I finish at the end of 2012, I’m going to make the most of my four day break to Sydney. Therefore I can’t really afford new shoes. I’ve been lusting after these Jeffrey Campbell, Mary Roks shoes for a long time but I can’t really justify buying them at the moment. Especially since I just purchased some new clothes off ASOS.

I did however find some cheap shoes at Rubi Shoes. I’ve never bought anything from them but they don’t look they’d hold together too long. Anyone bought any from them? How are they? Here are some ones I want:

My heart is yearning…

Written by Rikki. Filed under Fashion. Tagged . Comments Off.

This post is for Sophie D who is currently strutting the streets of gay Paree… So jealous. I love that city, I know it is cliché but it really is everything you think it will be, beautiful, magical, amazing. If I were there right now I’d rip this outfit off of Queen B and stuff my face with Macaroons from Ladurée too (Noods and I went to this one the last time we went to Paris)

How good is the Moschino dress! The over sized cherry/apple print is so pretty-pretty!

Selena’s outfit is cute too but B is totally killing it. So Parisian, so chic!

Here’s a look at my efforts in Paris (even the graffiti is romantic!)
I’ve got the beret but no Chanel cuffs unfortunately -  I do have a Chanel-esque (read cheap knock-off) bag though, which set me back around 3 quid if I remember rightly, haha!

More bikinis, sorry can’t help it…

I know all I ever post about is bikinis or like….nah that’s about it but sorry, that’s what I’m about. DEAL. I’m already planning the office xmas party in my head (bbq in a big park with coconuts cut open to form cups with alize’ poured in them, the cockhead boys won’t even care no doubt) and my Summer of coconut scented fun with Katie when she comes to visit and just hitting the pool on the reg anyways.

Some ladies I know over in NYC who run the amaze House of Jackie Brown swimwear label recently dropped a look book for a bunch of styles from their Jungle Juice collection and it is FLY. Check it out, whoever did the design is a genius!…

Very HYSTERIC GLAMOR! or Zipper mag. Loveeee it.

I would like these very much. Love them small boobie friendly designs.

New op-shop gold

Written by Community College. Filed under Fashion. 2 Comments.

Again my current financial woes have brought me to the op-shop, but NOT the old one I used to go to on Victoria St. Holy shit that place has got ridiculously shit! I saw a $75 jacket in there today!!? They’ve gone mad. Heaps of circa 2003 shit jackets priced at like $18.95 as well. I’ve given up on it for now. BUT I have found another amaze one conveniently one which for now will remain secret because it is the shit! Everythings cheap and it’s run by old ppl not sleazy young dudes (to be fair only one of them is sleazy but he’s so gross and a loser) like at Vict st. Plus no one goes there, so it’s not all picked over. When I went in today it was full of Stussy and American Apparel shit! AND this amazing dress in my size by State of Georgia!!

All cotton, deep V, cut cap sleeves and looks never worn, and $6. I’ve always had my eye on this brand in Myer and what have you, love the bright patterns but they usually retail around $130 a dress. Yikes! So I was fucking stoked. A tan with  red lippy and some blue heels and I’m Summer dress a go go! Had to bring it up to 10 dolla for eftpos haha so I also grabbed these earrings… Read More »
