Flashdance Inspiration

I find that the first song of the day influences my mood for the rest of the day. So when the first song I heard this morning was 'Flashdance..What a Feeling', it was only ever going to be an 80's dancing/disco themed day. And for those kind of moments, you need fabulous clothes to match.
Piper Lane's Poison Ivy dress is stunning - nude or studded black heels to work with the green shimmery fabric. Arm-loads of bangles.
Mimosa is a personal favourite label of mine - true to size, great cuts and amazing unique prints. Like the black dress with silver sparkles all over it(Shattered Sequin Silver Dress). Big shoulders scream Dynasty or Dallas - and I love it!
Another Mimosa stunner - the Galactic Sequin Tank dress. Be bold with bright coloured heels to match any colour in the print.
And for serious dancing in black jeans or skinny pants, you can't go past this Shona Joy Shock and Awe blue and black top. It's silk and soft and floats when you move.

She can't be serious....

I haven't written a blog in a little while because it has been quite busy in the store. But something my Mum told me the other day has made me write.
Julia Gillard is our new Prime Minister....the first female. It's very exciting. To be honest, regardless of who it is, having our first female prime minister is exciting. It's a step forward. It's smashing through glass ceilings with perfectly manicured fingernails. It's seeing better hair than all the "it's not a comb over" comb overs we're used to. It's, hopefully, having a different approach to things. It's something for all females interested in politics to aspire to. It's something for all females to cheer about......except one woman on talk back radio who proclaimed that women should be at home looking after children, not in politics and what next?! Seriously. This was what my Mum told me that had me fuming. Obviously this woman on talk back radio is not a mother of daughters - my Mum told me I could do anything including being Prime Minister. I suspect Julia's mum might have too. Although if you think about it, Julia's job in parliament is similar to being a mum. There's lessons about sharing your things, being nice to one another, no fighting,tantrums, older child versus younger child, and really everyone would play nicer if they took a little nap!
PS - Mum, I can't do everything but thanks for believing in me anyway!XX

Samedog - something different!

For some reason all my friends are very talented and funny people...no, I'm not biased. Artists, creatives, great business people, amazing cooking skills, musicians, and we are all seriously good at dancing and singing using remote controls as microphones ( but that's another story). But I've just gone into www.samedog.com which belongs to my friend Rory. He started as my husband's friend to be honest but now I claim him as mine too. Do yourself a favour and have a look at the blog. It's funny, clever, full of great art, clothing, and interesting looks at life. And if you are local, you may even recognise a great pic of my favourite local cafe Blend.I've bought several tees, originally as gifts but they never made it as gifts. They live in my wardrobe now. And we have a 'House on a hill' painting too.
Miss you in Perth Rory but love getting all your Tassie news on your blog now!
