Full Circle

Being ridiculously shorter than your average, there are numerous items of clothing that have always populated my "don't-even-try-to-pull-that-off" list. Full skirts, palazzo pants, and anything midi-length included. Sadly, this has dramatically reduced my wardrobe options to above-the-knee length skirts, dresses, and the occasional pair of shorts, to avoid looking like an Asian Oompa Loompa (aware that this terminology may not be PC, but whatever, it's the holiday season!). 

BUT with the new year (and the requisite new year's resolutions in tow), I thought I'd start early - because we all know they are abandoned, i.e. fail by mid-Jan - and broaden my [wardrobe's] boundaries. Beginning with full skirts (really, it was just to be able to spin around in a skirt other than the typical skater skirt). A killer pair of heels definitely helps to compensate for the long(er) length and fullness... 

Have a great new years!!

Seeking Summer

I've been blissfully ignoring the summer heat, secretly hoping it goes away and winter miraculously comes back. In fact, every time it rains, I rejoice, while the rest of Sydney cries and moans about the cold and our disappearing summer.
The real reason why summer is no fun? I adore winter and winter dressing, from coats and opaque tights, right down to all the glorious boots!
Unfortunately, it's getting harder to ignore the impending summer. So as they say, if you can't beat them, join them... Here are my top choices for summer footwear.
