Gladiator flats have a long and proud lineage. Early models were used to part seas, tame lions and make your feet look huge! More recent updates (like this white version from French Connection), are better suited to sauntering along promenades, reclining on yachts and peeping out from under bold-patterned maxi dresses (they’re still capable of slaying the odd shirtless man though, you have been warned).

A woman’s prerogative is to change her mind (as often as she darn well pleases). Which is probably the reason we end up spending so much money on things we never end up wearing (damn that prerogative!). Luckily websites like lovemeandleave.com (bag rentals, you know, like on Sex And The City) are perfect for not just the indecisive but also those with the Bolinger tastes but Passion….
If you’re as addicted to all things Foxtel as us, then this is probably old news. And if you’re not then you probably won’t care. But we still feel the need to warn you, sky blue is the new hot shade for nails. We first noticed it on Whitney from MTV’s The Hills. Then we saw that about half the contestants of Australia’s Project Runway were flaunting….
A very wise Feng Shui master once said something about the link between bad energy and messy wallets. Practice the art of forced minimalism with a streamlined (read tiny) purse (no space for those 10 loyalty cards you never use, or Sugarine packets here). And see how the universe responds.
The same guy also said something about cluttered wardrobes, but there’s no need to get too crazy.
Let’s face it, horizontal stripes are not our friend. They never remember birthdays, don’t return phone calls and we’ve heard them say some pretty nasty things about our thighs. But that doesn’t stop us desperately wanting them to be our BFF (pathetic, we know). And as if to taunt us, this dress from Bec & Bridge is now available to buy online. To make it less cruel….
…absolutely nothing, say it again! Ok, ok, we are not going to get political here, because a) we don’t really know enough about it, and b) it’s just a bit preachy. So we’ll let this sexy tee say it all for us. The only thing we will say is it’s a darn shame we didn’t find this shirt when Little Johnny was the PM. There are just….
Pretentious woman 1 – "Mwah, mwah, darlink, you skin looks ah-mazing, so plump and soft, what have you been using?"
Pretentious woman 2 – "Well first I tried the snake venom that gwynnie loves, then those little fish that eat away the dead skin, but they tickle terribly. And of course I’ve always loved a good chemical peel, especially when combined with a nice injectable filler….
Marketing 101 – if you want to draw people to your brand you have to generate some sort of hype. There are a few ways to do this; bribe a celebrity into endorsing it, spend lots of cash on fancy ad campaigns, get a three-legged dwarf to wrestle it on Youtube OR give your products away for free. Beauty brand Mirenésse has opted for the later, and….
