Release the lions!

Gladiator flats have a long and proud lineage. Early models were used to part seas, tame lions and make your feet look huge! More recent updates (like this white version from French Connection), are better suited to sauntering along promenades, reclining on yachts and peeping out from under bold-patterned maxi dresses (they’re still capable of slaying the odd shirtless man though, you have been warned).
Bright, young things

If you’ve been scouring the trend pages for the hot new-season footwear trends, you’ve probably noticed a whole lot of pointy toed stilettos and brightly coloured patent wedges. We’re not quite ready to embrace the pointy toe just yet, but we’ll take these Mary Jane’s in all five colours!
Eeny, meeny, miny, mo

A woman’s prerogative is to change her mind (as often as she darn well pleases). Which is probably the reason we end up spending so much money on things we never end up wearing (damn that prerogative!). Luckily websites like lovemeandleave.com (bag rentals, you know, like on Sex And The City) are perfect for not just the indecisive but also those with the Bolinger tastes but Passion Pop budgets. Even better the new Prada spring range has just arrived, so hop online asap and book yourself in for the much coveted Fairy bag, or Napa bag, or Fringe bag… or hell, why not borrow them all!
Baby blues

If you’re as addicted to all things Foxtel as us, then this is probably old news. And if you’re not then you probably won’t care. But we still feel the need to warn you, sky blue is the new hot shade for nails. We first noticed it on Whitney from MTV’s The Hills. Then we saw that about half the contestants of Australia’s Project Runway were flaunting azure-toned digits. And the final straw was when we spotted dull-as-dirt Katie Holmes on E! News also sporting the same frosty shade… now either this is some sort of Foxtel based conspiracy, or we’ve gotta get us some quick smart.
If the shoe fits

When a shoe is this hot we like to let it speak for itself. Here’s what it has to say.

Hmmm, ok, not exactly earth shattering, but you can’t expect something that pretty to be smart as well.
It’s the size that counts

A very wise Feng Shui master once said something about the link between bad energy and messy wallets. Practice the art of forced minimalism with a streamlined (read tiny) purse (no space for those 10 loyalty cards you never use, or Sugarine packets here). And see how the universe responds.
The same guy also said something about cluttered wardrobes, but there’s no need to get too crazy.
Do the horizontal hokie pokie

Let’s face it, horizontal stripes are not our friend. They never remember birthdays, don’t return phone calls and we’ve heard them say some pretty nasty things about our thighs. But that doesn’t stop us desperately wanting them to be our BFF (pathetic, we know). And as if to taunt us, this dress from Bec & Bridge is now available to buy online. To make it less cruel we think it should come with free gift option of either a) liposuction or b) a much needed reality check (we know which one we’d go for!).
What is it good for?

…absolutely nothing, say it again! Ok, ok, we are not going to get political here, because a) we don’t really know enough about it, and b) it’s just a bit preachy. So we’ll let this sexy tee say it all for us. The only thing we will say is it’s a darn shame we didn’t find this shirt when Little Johnny was the PM. There are just so many brilliant eyebrow pencil/ tweezer jokes we could have been making right now…
