Glomesh Magic

Dig out your (or your mum’s) bags from the years gone by, as the glomesh bag is BACK. It has been back for a while now, in the form of little clutches for formal wear.

Cute and light, they’ve been a great throwback to the 70’s. But now they’re REALLY back.

Witchery has the most divine shoulder bag in glomesh. Although technical silver, it has a soft muted warm gold hue, offset by a pewter woven strap. It is terrific for summer nights, hanging delicately off your shoulder, in a practical size.

No longer confined just to night time, glomesh magic is back baby!

Witchery glomesh shoulder bag, $89.95

Zaruff

On recent trips to Pitt Street Mall with clients, I’ve spied the lovely handiwork of Zaruff, a jewellery stall located just outside the entrance to Centrepoint on Pitt St Mall.

A range of largely silver and glass jewellery, Zaruff has some very wearable pieces ideal for work or play. Their necklaces and bracelets are particularly good, and very well priced. Their place at Centrepoint isn’t permanent, but you can shop online www.zaruff.com

Feeling the Credit Crunch?

Who isn't?? The economy seems to be going downhill and rapidly, but your style doesn't need to. There is nothing worse than a drab dwindling economy.

So, what to do? Shop! But shop smartly.

Shop Smart Tip No 1: Buy Glasson's SATC belt for $24.95 (see previous blog)
Shop Smart Tip No 2: Buy dark floral sheer collarless shirt top, on sale from Sheike for $39.95

Wear top over jeans for a casual weekend look, or with trousers or tucked in to your favourite pencil (or straight cut for anyone with an apple or pear / triangle body shape) skirt for work. Then whip out your new magic Glassons belt, and belt it over the top and skirt for Friday drinks.

Voila! The top that keeps on giving no matter what the occasion, and the belt that will change your life (or at least your outfit!)...

This Week's Must Have!

I swear this is "THE" find of the year. For all you SATC fans out there, I have found the studded, waisted belt that Carrie Bradshaw wore in many of her outfits in the SATC Movie. It was on multiple dresses and teamed often with her Dior Extreme heels.

Well, for all of just $24.95 (yes, you get change from a twenty and a five dollar note) Glassons will sell you "the" belt. True, it isn't really vintage and the studs aren't brass and it isn't real leather, but who cares? Every time you put it in and pair it with your Wittner version of the Dior Extreme heels (check out previous blogs on Wittner...) you too will and can feel like a million dollars (and for far far less...).

Buy now, do not delay!
