Red Leather

I know I have already apologised for the lack of entries of late. I literally have not had a spare second to take any pictures! December is usually a pretty busy month and 2010 has been no exception. I will endeavour to get a few more posts in this year. I have the best ever Flissmas ensemble to cover as well as a Glam Rock Outfit and a couple of new frocks to showcase!

Back to the outfit at hand.. this may be the last Melbourne outfit yet to be talked about. (Best I go back to buy some more huh...)

Red leather is all kinds of awesome. Especially when it is tomato red. And in a pencil skirt.  Even better when the leather is the softest most buttery leather you can imagine touching. If you ever have the good fortune to see me wearing this I will almost definitely enforce a quick stroke so you can understand.

Tactile heaven.

This skirt only set me back $45. An incredible price for an incredible piece!

I have matched it with a black short puff sleeved shirt, black peep toes and red leather fingerless gloves. Oh yes you read that correctly. Red. Leather. Fingerless. Gloves. With studs and zips. Sadly it is a little too warm right now to work them into many outfits. I also found out on their maiden voyage that they kinda turn my hands pink. Still totally worth it....

Stay tuned for a close up shot of the gloves. My nails aren't looking too good so have been waiting to address that before getting a glove shot. It will be worth the wait though. I promise.

Green Sequins

This gown was made for me waaaaay back in high school. I wore it to my 7th form ball in fact. Lets not dwell on exactly how many years ago that was. It was quite a few now. That's all you need to know.


Green and sparkly has been on my hit list for quite some time it would seem. I had a vision of 40's glamour with a hint of "Jessica Rabbit" when I was describing how I wanted this dress to look. I may not have the bust to pull off her exact style- but I still went with the split up to mid thigh.

This shot shows this dress worn with long green gloves and silver mary-janes. On it's original wearing it was teamed with black gloves, mary-janes and a black feather boa.

Obviously not a dress that gets a lot of airtime these days- but it will always have it's time and place....
