Knowing the rules and when to break them.

My original intention for this post was to compile a weeks worth of outfit snap shots, but I only managed one. Evidently I have to invest more time in this area..!

Quotes from an anti quoter

Wise words from Marc Jacobs:

"Young girls need to learn that sexiness isn't about being naked."

"I always find beauty in things that are odd and imperfect - they are much more interesting."

"I don't think you can be all things to all people and still have a point of view."

The gift of gifting.

I'm addicted. So here's an excitable rant outlining my Christmas shopping adventures.

Any excuse to dress up.

And another Darwin Cup Carnival bites the dust. The atmosphere may be intoxicating down at the racetrack, but it's planning and putting together an outfit that I find to be the most enjoyable and exciting part of the racing season.

A Human side to the MET Gala.

My respect for Vogue went up a notch when I learned that one of my all time favourite photographers and bloggers, Brandon Stanton of 'Humans of New York', had been approached to capture some of his usual magic at this year's MET Gala.

BIG beats little (in this instance anyway).

Clearly I am a lover of the little things. But sometimes life can throw you something big. And that is also very loveable.

Racy vs Racewear

This is something I've wanted to discuss for a long time.

When did racewear get so darn racy?

Backless dresses, micro mini skirts, plunging necklines, sheer fabrics and heavy makeup. A very difficult and sensitive argument I know, because ultimately who decides on what is 'appropriate' and what is not? And should there really be rules when it comes to fashion?

I just believe that racewear deserves some respect. Something can be fun & flirty and still brush the knees, fitted and elegant and still allow you to bend over. A little imagination is all you need.

Now it's your say, what do you think? Am I just a prude, hooked on tradition who desperately needs to get with the times? OR, is it time for racewear to raise the bar?
