Hippo Creek



I went out to dinner last night at Hippo Creek in Hillarys, it was an African Grill restaurant, a steakhgouse, if you will. I don’t eat red meat so I wasn’t overly thrilled, however! It was a lot of fun with some really nice food. They had on the menu some kilo steak cuts for about $70, we saw a waitress bring one out, and I swear it was the size of my thigh! 

Here are some photos;

My Latest Purchase;

So, I went into the city yesterday and couldn't go past these shoes! There were 3 pairs and it took me about 20minutes to decide which one to get, but as I have already bought quite a bit in the last few days (and I'm trying to save for my trip to Bali next month) I decided I had to limit myself. 
Check these beauties out :)


Betts is having a massive sale btw, so if you want some new shoes, everything is 20%-50% off. Everything.

Vogue


June’s Vogue cover features Claudia Schiffer, very pregnant and very naked in a photo that was taken by Karl Largerfield.

Not that Claudia hasn’t graced covers of Vogue before, but her baby is due now in a matter of days...


This cover hits stands in Germany on Wed.

Just thought you would all like to know. :P

Maddonalicious!


Madonna has just launched her own eyewear range, collaborating with Dolce & Gabbana. She is releasing 6 luxe designs, under the label MD&G.

The Spring / Summer 2010 collection will be available nation-wide at Sunglasses hut

These look pretty nice;

The photography is done by Steven Klein, the same person who shot her housewife-inspired spring ad campaign.

I think the first photo is a bit cheeky and candid, the other two look a bit dull, I'm not sure the B&W effect helps them ay either...

My Latest Purchase;



OK so despite really having to save some money because I have to fork out $230 for an adult passport to go on holidays this year, I went to Cotton On today and bought the following;

Zip Up Fur Vest: OK I REALLY have to add some fur to my winter wardrobe this year and this was marked down from $79.95 to $10! Cmon, that is a STEAL! I feel sorry for people who payed full price! I cant find a photo of it anywhere (not even on their website) but if you want to buy some, I went to the Subiaco store and there were a few left. I bought one in a black / white / grey combo but they have some in brown and white too, both are pretty good, it was a tough decision.

Striped Zip Skirt: what can I say? I love grey and black, I love zips, I'm not a huge skirt fan but my favourite kind of mini skirt would be like this. They are reminiscent of the tight school skirts we all used to hike up :P This would look cool with some opaque black tights and ankle boots I think.


Knit Tube Scarf: I love neutral scarfs, especially when I just want to throw one on in the morning when I'm freezing cold without it being all bright with patterns and clashing with the rest of my outfit. As if I don’t look hurried and uncoordinated enough as I try and gather up coins that are floating around the bottom of my bag, rolling down the street and get on the bus as well, I really don’t want to look like an old bag lady!* Also I though I would go for something a little different and get a big tube scarf. Its really cool actually, I'm loving it already :)



*my two trench coast (one grey, one black) are a size too big, as I was much fatter last winter. Not a good look, I desperately need new one/s!

News: Joanne Pellew


Joanne Pellew has spoken publically for the first time yesterday, a disgraced fashion designer who was convicted in December 2008 for drug trafficking.

Her 18month stint in Bandyup ended a fortnight ago and despite being named the main player in a cannabis distribution ring, she is going to appeal to overturn the title ‘drug trafficker’.

She wants to get back involved with her swimwear range Kooey, which had very said Australian ties, being inspired by Aboriginal culture.

She was involved in the Perth Fashion Festival in 2008 (pic above), after creating the label in 2006.

ROMANCE WAS BORN

Nail Colour for Autumn / Winter


Neutral colours like black, charcoals, matte greys and even silvers are very, very hot this season. Avoid colours like hot pinks and corals (so last season!) Neutral  colours work well and they co-ordinate with all outfits this season, everything from the military feel to the navy, black and grey boots, tights, stockings and scarves we are all rugging up in.

There are options if you feel like a bit more colour or your skintone cannot wear grey easily (i.e. try and contrast with your skintone. If you have very dark skin however, you can wear both bright and dark colours well. If you have very fair skin, avoid pale colours and very light nudes. Dark grey will look daring, black will look gothic.)

Try dark blues, metallics can work well and midnight purples as well. Browns can work well this season too, but again, be careful which browns you chose, opt for a more bronze colour if you aren't sure what matte browns will work.

here are some favourites of mine this season from OPI;
