French polly

This weeks theme:

I love trench coats;
whenever i wear one i instantly feel more elegant- i think it has something to do with the simple cut and refined detail.
But they also remind me of two things:
France && Chanel.
I have fallen deeply in love with this coral dreass by Dorothy Perkins.
i love the scoop neck and the pleated bust that bleeds into the fuller skirt.
To contrast add black pumps, and a small black clutch.(chanel)
Simple mascara and a coral lip is all you need to bring colour to your make up.
Let the trench and the dress do all the talking with this look- so no accessories ( or extreamly simple ones if you must ;])
This trench from topshop is so adorable i want it!
I love the belt and the pleated detail. 

whats your favorite way to wear a trench?

love.x.

This weeks theme-

Anti fashionista.

Last week the unthinkable struck a much loved fellow blogger  Lori from Random Ramblings of a SAHM, Tony-her husband,her best friend and her children's father was admitted to ICU after an accident left him critical & fighting for his life.

  Tony,Lori and their family forught but Tony passed away on Monday.

Last Thursday  before this nightmare began, Lori wrote a post about being an Anti-Fashionista.

Danimezza the creator of Polly dolly has decided to dedicate this weeks sets to Lori. To find out more about Lori visit the link above...to donate to Lori visit Danimezza's set (here)

Reality- Jeans & a nice top are my uniform. with comfy underwear and sensible ballet flats.When it comes to jewelry i could open my own diva store i have soo...much of it!

I love to glamorize my outfit a little with some nice earrings and a big beautiful cocktail ring.

I also have a weakness for handbags...One of my favorite brands (for an affordable bag...) is Ruby & Kit (an extension of strand bags & equip) {check out the the 'eyelet & bow large blush tote...my favorite handbag...so far ;p}

Make up & hair- Is always the same...I'm a creature of habit-winged black eyeliner, Black mascara, lip gloss & some blush for colour. And i straighten my hair even if I'm not going anywhere all day with my best friend (my GHD {Saved up for 6months for that baby!})

Dream- I love this dress!!! I wish i could wear classy structured dresses & heels all day but i cant. 

Do i really need to explain the Chanel bag this time...you guys should know what i would do to have this bag by now. =p 

If i could i would team it with sexy Victoria's Secret underwear and add the entire line of 'House of Harlow' jewelry to my diva collection. ( click here =] )

But if you rock up to my house un announced...you'll find me in my cow Pj's & cow slippers with my cow mug full of coffee and it's 95% likely you'll also see my dragging one of my many stuffed cows around my house.... lmao.

I told you im a kid at heart.

...All the fluffy stuffed ones any ways.

Coffee & moo cows....Love.

Mademoiselle Chanel Lively.

Karl Lagerfeld  has given Blake Lively the honor of being the official face of the “MADEMOISELLE” handbag line for Chanel.

"She's a kind of American dream girl," says designer Karl Lagerfeld on the fresh new face of the dream fashion house.

The ads for the campaign which were photographed by Lagerfeld him self in the historic apartment where Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel once showed her collection; Will start running an April this year.

"I will always feel it's more than just a purse. It's a quilted case full of lipstick, love letters and the dreams and possibilities that I have always felt every time I see that beautiful 'CC'."

I think she's perfect for it!

Shes fresh, classy, youthful & not afraid to mess around with fashion.

I can't wait to see these photos- they are going to be absolutely stunning! 

So what to you think of the newest addition

Perf..ect. for christmas. =]

I have said it before but i love perfume. 

It can change & set the mood for an outfit.

And since it's six weeks till Christmas 

I thought I'd give you a guide for some great perfumes that everyone that suite any woman and create moods...so you don't have to shop too much this Christmas. =]

Daisy-Marc Jacobs.

This is a very elegant yet youthful fragrance. I'm head over heels in love with. Daisy features Violet Leaf, Wild Strawberry, Grapefruit Middle Note: Violet, Jasmine, Gardenia & a Base Note of White Woods, Musk, Infusion Of Vanilla. mmmmm yum. =]

Love Rocks-Victoria's secret.(Taylor momsen)

I love the auto-miser on the bottle its so sexy and so is the smell.The top notes include bergamot, peony and raspberry sorbet, sandalwood flower, jasmine, peach nectar, plum and stephanotis, with a dry-down base of golden amber, violet, cashmere musk and vanilla. 

This is not an overly feminine fragrence-more of a sexy mysterious aroma.

Kim Kardashian-Kim Kardashian.

 I'm not a fan of the woman behind it but this fragrance is beautiful!

It's like a very very sexy Chanel perfume.

It features Mandarin, Honey Suckle, Orange Blossom, Pink Jasmine, Tuberose, Sensual Spice, Lush Gardenia, Jacaranda Wood, Tonka Bean, Vanilla Orchid, Musk, Creamy Sandalwood.

Fancy-Jessica Simpson.

 Again I'm not a fan of the woman but she like KK makes a hell of a perfume!

Fancy is Pear and juicy Apricot Nectar wrapped with the glow of Red Fruits, dewy Gardenia laced with the delicacy of Night Blooming Jasmine. Toasted Almonds and Caramel, Creamy Sandalwood, Amber Crystals &Vanilla Crème.

It's very pretty & feminine but still strong and a little bit sexy.

Forbidden Rose- Avril Lavigne.

As you guys know, i wear Avril's first purfume alot. 

but this one is really different with red apple,white peach and Bourbon vanilla,

 lotus, heliotrope and fresh green apple, warm vanilla and chocolate & creamy sandalwood.

Its a darker version of "black star" but still smells like you could eat it!

Miss Dior Cherie- Dior. 

This is such a pretty fragrance with Green Tangerine, Violette, Pink Jasmine, Patchouli, Crystalline Musk, Strawberry Leaves, Caramelized Popcorn, Strawberry Sorbet. Yumm.......................I'm loving the sound of the caramelized popcorn, =]

 Chance-Chanel.

Another beautiful Chanel creation with notes of white musk, hyacinth and citron, pink pepper, jasmine, fresh vetiver, orris absolute and amber patchouli. Chanel is like a lighter version of No.5-but still carries the sweetness and elegance of the original. 

Princess-Vera Wang.

 Think sweet & innocent.

Princess is very pretty with water lily, apple, mandarin meringue,

and golden apricot skin, dark chocolate, amber, musk, and vanilla.

The bottle is very cute too.

With love- Hilary duff.

Now you all know how crazy i am about anything duff. lol

but this perfume is so nice. 

It's very rich and elegant with mangosteen fruit, exotic spices, chai latte,

mangosteen blossom, cocobolo wood, balsam, incense, amber milk and amber musk.

It's very musk and again a very pretty bottle. 

Radience- Britney Spears.

The new fragrance for the princess of...everything.

The 6th fragrance for Brit is created with Luscious berries and dewy petals of pure white flowers, Tuberose, jasmine, orange flower & iris, precious amber woods..

Its defiantly stronger then her others- but if you like 'believe' then you'll love this one. 

Beauty- Calvin Klein.

 This is a very feminine & sophisticated fragrance which opens with top notes of Ambrette Seeds, middle notes of Jasmine and dries down to base notes of Cedar wood. 

It's very clean cut elegance, and is very charming. 

  

So there you have it.

This weeks theme- 

Lace.

I'm loving this weeks theme and all the beautiful style boards that are being created with it.

I'm also loving lace & pastels as well this season.(more on that later =])

This season I'm head over heels in love with 'Daisy-by Marc Jacobs'. 
 (more on this later as well. don't worry ill link it. =])

I always feel like lace should be pretty and sweet. 

And after i put this set together i just had this daydream of wearing it in Paris on a beautiful sunny day!

And really can you think of a better place to wear Chanel & Louboutin?

 So hence the eiffle tower necklace charm =] 

Add light pink nails and lips with a touch of mascara. for a sweet natural look =]
So what would you wear in Paris? 

I wish i may, I wish i might tres- accepted prostitution edition

I've had my fair share of interviews,and I've had alot this week.
When your going to an interview (either office,retail,anything-) your representing your self,the way you dress, your make up and the shoes you wear really do make a difference. It's all well and good that you went to one of the best schools in your area,have a fantastic UAI, were school captain,or have gushing recommendations from your previous jobs-but if you dress like you don't care,or don't want to be there..They wont care and wont want you there.

Its socially accepted prostitution.

You are the product, the product design team, the spokesperson and the company. You have to sell yourself in person as well as paper.Other wise you don't even have a chance of securing the job.

This past week i had a group interview for a major department store- the dress code was business wear-preferred black. This store is high class and the people that are fortunate enough to afford to shop there are high class- and they expect to be greeted and served by well dressed people.The people that recruit for this store expect the same.Astounded i watched as one girl not only walked in 10 Min's late,but was sporting stone wash denim jeans,ugg boots,a white (see through) t-shirt, and a black bonds hoodie. Need i say more?...

My do's and dont's =]-
trust me i've seen it and i might have done it...maybe. =P

- Black,white,gray and ONE colour.
Colour takes the harshness out of the business look, the key to this is to use muted pastels,(example in picture) it gives you a "life" out side of work but still keeps you professional. This is best used in cardigans-especially if your under 30.
White is best as your top colour and black as your skirt or pants.

-Shoes.
NO- Pep toes,strapy sandal heels, or colour! (sorry its just business! ;P )
Shoe colours that are okay- nudes, black and gray. (ask me about white shoes and ill kick you back to the 60's they don't flatter anyone!{strapy heels are a different story})
NO- Heeled boots. just no.
NO- studs,different coloured heels then the shoe..platform,cork heels,wedges,dimonties,glitter, bows or ribbons. If you get the job and you are in the environment to wear heels all day then you can wear what ever you like.

-Jewelry
Your best safest bet is pearls. No skulls,butterfly's,hearts or dog tags (please no dog tags!!!!) Simple nice everyday jewellery. (I'll explain the necklace in the picture later) No rings that could be mistaken for a real flower, butterfly, or space junk.NO BIG EARRINGS! eg getto hoops-no!

-Handbags.
your not shopping so no country road bags (the big ones) your not clubbing so no clutches. you are though trying to land a job..>> BLACKKKK!!!! Medium sized normal bags. yes they notice-trust me!!!

-Make up.
Nude colours the only harsh colour on your face should be mascara, (black...again) eye liner and your normal eye colour (not red cat eyes)browns,silvers,golds,and nudes-perfect!(example in picture)

-Hair
I'm not going to tell you to dye your pink streak back in the hope of getting a job-but there are always hair styles that cover it. you know what they are.

-nails.
Bad= bright blue,bright green,bright yellow, fluro anything and patterned anything,glittery anything..And i hate this one No black nails...=[
Good= red,clear little silver.
Better= nothing or french tip.

And people this should go without saying but unfortunately...not always.
SHOWER, deodorant,mints and clean hands. its really not hard.




In somewhat lighter vibes- This weeks "I wish i may,I wish i might" tres-work/interview addition

Dorothy Perkins pencil skirt-I love the ruched panel detail on this skirt.. perfect of girl who wants to appear more...bootylicious! =] hehe.. it comes with a matching suit jacket as well i love these skirts cause you can dress them yp for a night out or wear them around causal visit- dorothyperkins.com
White tank top-
Do i need to say anymore? its simple. have to have a black one and a white one. =]

Long boyfriend cardie-LOVE LOVE LOVE! my cardies =] seriously there are the best! neeed tooo haavvve themmm. =D

Chanel pearls-
AHHHH i love them! and want them! i guess its my deep desire to dress like (and look like) Marissa cooper from the O.C =] Money where are you?

Chanel classic tote-medium-
I love this bag. its simple classic,chic,Chanel. no glitz,or chains or white or pink..just plain Chanel glam! ..and L.c Has it..lol the best thing she got outta Jason. =]

Nude lipstick-
I love it-it gives a nice matte finish that looks natural(not 10x lighter then your face!- Note- the key to this is to match it perfectly...don't buy it by yourself- take an honest friend..or better go to a make-up counter or Napoleon Perdis store, or Myer/David Jones..they are professional make up artist and can match it to your skin tone perfectly! =]

So until next time.
Go the Socceroos. =]
