Beloved Boxing Day sale – 30% off new season stock
Dec 26, 2008
Add to your faves
Boxing day sales are an age-old tradition, where after feeling fat and disgusting from eating too much turkey and mince pies the day before, you go into battle with thousands of other equally irritable women all to return with a few minor abrasions and a pair of neon green, size 4, Prada tights.
The alternative is to sit on your couch (fly unbuttoned if required) and surf through the truly fabulous buys at Beloved.net.au. Brands like Therese Rawsthorne, Jane and Eleni and Tina Kalivas are now 30% off (with code 'INLOVE'), and gorgeous previous season buys are even further discounted with $120 dresses and $80 tops.
So go make that fourth turkey sanga, pack away all those Body Shop soaps and buy yourself something you really want. Sale ends January 9.
But it now links:
Scarf, $187.99, M Missoni
Tank, $244.40, Therese Rawsthorne
Skirt, $440, Tina Kalivas
Leather Jacket, $400, Natasha
Dress, $294.80, Therese Rawsthorne
PS. Prices shown are the discounted prices.
Ho, ho, ho!

$300 outfit: summa dayze
Dec 22, 2008Add to your faves
Festival days require comfy but cool footwear, long-strap sticky- finger proof bags and stylish but impossible to navigate while hovering over a portaloo playsuits. Oh and a headband to help tame your sexily dishevelled hair caused by several hours spent attempting to headbang/breakdance to inappropriate music in a manner sure to cause onlooking chiropractors to rub their hands with glee. Unless you’re a dance with your hands in the air like you just don’t care type of girl, then you can leave the headband at home.
Buy it now links:
Playsuit, $109.95, Sportsgirl.com.au
Bracelets, $13 (set), Forever21.com
Metallic headband, $4.20, Forever21.com
Sandals, $69.95, Sunday by Andrea and Joen, andreaandjoen.com

Pretty things: acid tripping
Dec 18, 2008Add to your faves
If you’re old enough to remember the acid wash fad in its first run around, and you’re not permanently scarred by the experience, then you probably need to own this skirt. Personally we blame the Wayfarers come-back of 2006. If every celeb and their dog (yes we mean you Rachel Bilson and Kirsten Dunst) hadn’t insisted on trying to recapture their childhoods in these horribly unflattering frames then it wouldn’t have opened the floodgates for all other manner of ugly-retro fashion. Shoulder pads? Scrunchies? Hypercolour? What’s next, mix-matched Punky Brewster socks?
Having said that though, as far as ugly fashions go this one is actually pretty hot. Hmmm…. tough decision.
Skirt, $110, Cassette Society, Mycatwalk.com.au
totally dedicated: OraniaZana
Dec 17, 2008Add to your faves
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. The “it” bag is O.V.E. R. Finally looking like a Hilton sister slash WAG clone is no longer the only acceptable way to accessorise. Hell, it’s actually quite sad. So embrace the fact that you are a woman with a brain, and her own taste and sense of style and start hunting for the new-season “you” bag. A great place to start is the all Aussie-made (therefore recession friendly) designs at OraniaZana (try saying that 10 times fast!). And although these last-a-lifetime bags have a long list of celeb fans, we think it will be the great range of colours and styles that you’ll fall in love with. That and the fact the gorgeous summer styles are all currently massively reduced.
Our favourite is the baby blue carry-all (which also comes in a wicked patent watermelon colour), this says to us “I meet my deadlines, expense my long lunches and dance with no shoes on till 3am”.
Also check out their fabulous range of wallets and handbag jewellery – the easiest way to bring your current can’t-part-with winter bag into summer.

Pretty things: expect the unexpected
Dec 16, 2008Add to your faves
You didn’t expect your last trip to IKEA to finish $1600 and a home delivery later. You didn’t expect it to start raining (and not stop all weekend). You didn’t expect that a combination of the previous two would leave you with a cold AND a nervous breakdown. And finally you didn’t expect to have a sudden uncontrollable urge to buy an off-the-shoulder, nightie-esque dress today, but some things just can’t be helped.

The Sass & Bide t-shirt dress
Dec 15, 2008Add to your faves
The gray marle t-shirt-dress is one of those supposedly easy-to-wear wardrobe essentials that generally look amazing on Ugg boot-clad models lounging backstage sucking down cigarettes and diet coke. But not on the rest of us. An exception to the rule is this fab little number by Sass & Bide, which thanks to the exclusive members only sale at Cocolee.com.au (don’t worry, anyone can become a member… but the sale finishes tomorrow so click through immediately if not sooner!) is almost half price.
