New Karen Walker Purchases...

...well, not quite yet.

I received a lovely KW gift voucher from Paul for Christmas and I have three items on hold in the Newmarket store right now. I will let you know what I ended up buying.

Exquisite cream wool top from the New Rose collection. Just arrived in stores. A classic, elegant cut and a reasonable price ($310). Like other New Rose pieces, I am a UK size 8 or 10 as they are mostly oversized. I don't know if I can wait until Autumn to wear this!


KW Land Frill Tee ($160). I love my other KW tee so this one is a definite front-runner.


Carrie Shorts ($135). So so flattering on this 42-year-old frame. Flat-fronted, gorgeous black fabric and just the right length.

Early 80s Inspiration

A Scene In Between tells the story of UK indie rock fashion from 1981 - 1988. Makes me go all nostalgic for those early 80s fashions and makeup that I was too young to enjoy but totally adore. An easy way to incorporate this look into your wardrobe? High-waisted black pants with front pleats, a silk blouse tucked in, gold hoop earrings and creepers or flatforms. Bright red lips and kohl mandatory; lop-sided hair optional.

Ahhhhh, The Human League...

Net-a-Porter Sale

Think beyond the high-end designer dresses worth $18,000 and think sale. Net-a-Porter discounts are generous so if you have been thinking about a designer piece at a manageable price, now is the time! Yes, prices are still high if you're comparing them to the average high street store but quality costs a little more. Here are a few pieces I have my eye on...

 A sweatshirt with my initials on it (J.W. Anderson)


An elegant weekend top to wear with black skinnies (Helmut Lang)


A soft long-sleeved tee from the legendary A.P.C (A.P.C. Atelier)



A little bit of Stella for my iPhone 5 (Stella McCartney)


A tiny, tiny bag (Michael Kors)


A cute throw-on robe (Eberjey)

Sky High

My days of wearing 10" heels are drawing to a close but I will still indulge in the odd pair. Of course, they live in a shoe bag in my drawer at work, coming out for a few hours of wear a day then swapped out for a 'sensible' 8" heel...

Weight Loss Milestone

Last weekend the lovely ladies in Karen Walker Newmarket helped me put together a casual weekend outfit. I've had the Bloody Rose Tee for a couple of months and wanted to match it with something special. I tried it with the Rowdy Skirt with Tie and my white Superga sandshoes and a fabulous breezy Summer outfit was born! So glad I now fit Karen Walker! Below is the outfit as it appears online. Watch out for photos in the coming weeks!
