I love winter tights and cardigans. May or may not be wearing this exact same outfit today…
Got my Frankie, got my pump, got my bags. Am on my way home after some amazing times with my beautiful family… (Taken with Instagram at Cairns Airport (CNS))
Melbourne Cup
The race that stops the nation is just around the corner so if you are stuck for ideas on what to do on the day why not do something that can make a big difference to someones life.
The Preston James Fund and Restaurant II are holding a Melbourne Cup Luncheon with proceeds going towards the Preston James Fund
The Preston James Fund supports children’s intensive care, where people and technology combine to perform lifesaving miracles every day.
There will be three hours of continual canapés, wine, beer and bubbles. Race commentary and continual coverage from Flemington Fashion awards for the Best Dressed, Race raffles, gift bags & more!
Alice Palace, just like Alice in Wonderland…
When you go into Alice’s Palace on line store on e-bay. You are greeted with the following:
“Welcome to Alice Palace. We deal in one off, unique, preloved women’s fashion and accessories. Each piece is hand selected and in impeccable condition. For anyone looking for that individual edge, your here”
When you go into her store in Noosa Junction you get exactly the same vibe. I felt like I had found a little nook of love and style in the middle of a pretty busy intersection in down town Noosa.
I had never been outside Hastings street before and I must say I am not only surprised but VERY glad that I decided to venture out.
Alice is not only beautiful inside and out but also shares the same love of fashion and all things vintage as I do and oh my her store is full of amazing things.
I went a little mad and purchase everything I liked without a care. From a vintage leather hat to an old school backgammon game complete with a leather case to a cute little Navajo style belt (I am wearing that today and I love!) and last but not least an original 1940’s dress that I promise to take some pictures and post them on my next blog.
I know it’s been a while since my last post but just like Alice found her way home, I have found my way back to being inspired to blog again. I hope it makes you happy!
In case you are wondering, all pictures on this blog came out of the on line store for Alice Palace on E-bay so check it out!
Bike Chic,
Following on yesterday post of that uber chic dude on his bike without a helmet. I though I would share some of my pictures with my lovely bike “Doris”
Doris does small distance rides to the local coffee shops because a) I live on a hill b) As much as I like my red engine helmet. I hate my hair getting messed up c) She is not built for long distance travel.
If I could, I would ride my bike to work wearing my high heels and my super cool 1960’s dresses. I may even get a cute little dog to put in the basket to complete the look. Alas the ride to the airport is massive and a little dangerous.
Anyway if you do have a bike built for long distance like a few of my work mates. Do go along to this Sunday’s Brisbane Bike challenge. There is different events to suit all levels of fitness. Registrations are still open here http://www.bq.org.au/
Good Luck!
