Jingle Belles!

Fashionista Sisters, this time of the year is not just for tree decorating! It is for dressing decoratively.

All of us have parties to attend so all of us, naturally, have to look fabulous and should never wear the same outfit twice (even if you will not be seen twice by the same person!).

I have trawled my fave online sites for the below items....and are my personal faves for this festive season & New Year.

Check out the Dannijo & Gemma Redux (LOVE her) necklaces....I'm DYING for them.

Enjoy!

Well Say Hello to Yellow!

It all started with an amazing Alexander Wang silk tank that I found at Shopbop (pic below). Devastated that it is sheer (I am a 30-something woman that does not believe in flashing my assets!), I went on the hunt for some alternative yellow items for my Summer wardrobe.

Yellow is fresh, fun and vibrant. Yellow is on-trend this season. A statement colour, it should be worn as the highlight of any outfit. It looks great accessorised with turqouise and gold jewellery!

I found (and purchased) a gorgeous pair of leather yellow flats from Zara ($79.95 thank you very much!).

Aside from the AW tank & Zara heels, below are some of my favourite picks from the selection of yellow currently availablde in-store and online.

Enjoy!

Emerald City!

I'm loving the current trend toward emerald.

A statement colour, emerald is a fabulous and modern way to brighten up the work, casual or evening outfit.

The colour is perfect for your colour-blocking outfit or simply chic paired with black or white.

Here are some of my favourite finds.

Spring Festival!

The on trend look of the moment "festival" is all about strutting the streets as if you are en route to Glastonbury or Lollapalooza.

I love the festival trend. But as I am not an 18 year old secretly applying Clearasil & my Cover Girl bronzer in between sipping Strongbow with my girlfriends, I need to adapt this look into an age appropriate form.

I always like the idea of mixing different outfits with the same accessories. I maximise my accessory investments and I rarely ever buy a "trendy" item. I see the festival trend as a way to feminine up my look and have some fun with short length dresses & shorts, of course, distracted with fabulous shoes & jewels.

Here are my favourite festival trend finds and they are highly unlikely to be found on any actual festival attendee except perhaps if your name is Kate Moss or Kate Hudson!

The necklace, bag & shoes looks fabulous with the cut offs & silk shirt. They look equally as fabulous with the cheap and cheerful Carmen dress from Sportsgirl (this is one that I could not resist purchasing myself!).

I recommend a visit to online stars Asos, Topshop, Forever New & Sportsgirl for the clothes. The trick to the festival look is to spend on the accessories and save on the trend...it stops a 30+ woman looking like a tragic fashion victim.

Oh...and one final piece of advice: If you are 30+ and larger than a size 8, do not EVER wear short denim shorts under ANY circumstance! Steer clear, also, of any dress length that has you questioning whether your privates are flashing when you bend over to pick up your child's dummy..or whatever!
