Go threadless

I have just discovered Threadless - an online tee shop with original and cheap designs. Say hello to my new tee. I feel in love with the geometric/Egyptian graphic, it just stood out amongst a smorgasbord of designs. Just add some skinny black trousers and go! They ship all over, although it did take two half weeks to land on my doorstep, but it was probably down to an erupting volcano somewhere.

Belt: Ive had it for years canny remember

Winter coats

Now that it is bbbrrrrrrr cold here in Melbourne I would like to introduce you to two of my favorite winter coats. The first purchased 2 years ago from Witchery, a classic coat that will endure seasons to come; I love the piping detail. The second bought almost 10 years ago from Coast (I had to save for this coat it was 300 quid, worth every penny), every time I wear this coat compliments follow. The fit is just perfect for me, the detail of the fabric and the red fur colour adds a wee bit of glamour.

Mother's Day goodies

Yesterday was Mother's Day for all us Aussie mums. I got spoiled: home-made card (the best kind), pressie's, cake, brekky and a much needed lie in. I love my new beret (goes fabulously with the new fur) and tights, always a winner!
I love being a mum, my little boy is my biggest laugh. Motherhood is rewarding, challenging and nerve racking all at the same time but I wouldn't have it any other way.
A stranger asked me the other day "How did you get a blond baby!", ...a tad strange and a tiny bit rude I thought; I mean I know I have black hair (albeit a little enhanced) but did she think I got him off e-bay!... but if you are wondering, my husband was exactly the same as a nipper. Anyways, to all you mum's out there, your doing a grand job and a belated Happy Mother's Day to you all!

Are you comfortable in Jeans?

If you have been following Sleekit for a while you will probably notice that I'm never in jeans - not because I don't like them, but generally I feel better and more comfortable in skirts n dresses. I do however own a few pairs and my chosen brand is 'LEE'; the only brand that seems to fit my petite but roundish figure. 

I am just about to embark on a fabulous freelance gig to design and produce a brand logo/label for a new up and coming jeans company. Which leads me on to a few questions to you readers out there:

1. What brand do you buy and why?

2. Is the brand label important to you?

3. Does price matter or are you happy to spend if the fit is right?

Jeans: Lee

Top: Cacharel

Woman's prerogative to change her mind

I'm very indecisive about what to wear today. Maybe it's the weather (it's cold & sunny all at the same time) or maybe I just have way too much in my wardrobe. I forgot I had this little black jacket, it was hiding at the back of the wardrobe; it's so cute why don't I wear it more often?

I'm also keen to get the faux fur out (when I buy something I feel the need to wear it right away) but it's probably not bbrrrr cold enough outside just yet, so I will parade it around the house instead. Decisions, Decisions...what outfit would you wear??

Outfit 1:

Jacket: Ezekiel

Dress: To the Max

Tights: Leona Edmiston

Shoes: Kenzo

Outfit 2:

Faux Fur: Cue

Awaiting sale

Just returned from a great weekend away with the family and thankfully my cold has buggered off. While away, went shopping and spotted this gorgeous white wool coat from Witchery. A little put off with the $399 price tag I resisted a purchase, but being Witchery (never buy full price!) this will definitely go on sale in the next couple of months. A good winter coat is the best buy you can make, always buy a classic cut and it will last you seasons. I have a collection of great winter coats and hope to bring them to you with this one (fingers crossed with my sale theory) when the weather permits.
I did buy this gorgeous faux fur from Cue, loved the colour and the versatility to be able to pin it onto jackets, coats and whatever takes your fancy. Will get some looks together with this great accessory very soon.
