Candy coloured dreams



Ever since Katy Perry pranced around my computer screen in a cupcake bra, I can't get over candy colours. I am currently hooked on candy pink. Candy pink on my nails and lips is a must, my addiction is so bad that I may suffer from a phantom sweet tooth.

Where is the world is Darling Dee?

Hello my lovelies,
I know I have been terrible and have not posting at all. To be honest my lovely darlings, I have been lacking in creative inspiration. In the next few weeks, I will have my beautiful new Canon SLR and a truck load of fashion magazines to kick start my passion.
I promise there will be loads most posts and you can be certain this little blog will be having a whirlwind of changes. So, all my Dorothy's put on your little red slippers and get ready to escape far away from home!

Roman Holiday


Ever since I was a kid I loved nothing more than watching Audrey Hepburn movies and dreaming of old school romances. Hot summer days riding mopeds around Europe would be an ultimate dream of mine.

I decided to put together a few must haves for any Roman Holiday (or Summer night) for the rest of us mortals.

1) A floral dress which fits you perfectly
2) Statement ring - every girl needs a little hollywood glamour
3) Sandals, which are cute and comfortable
4) A perfect powder pink nail polish
5) Gold bangles. Can instantly take an outfit from day to night.

And to all my lovely readers sorry I haven't been posting. I have no excuse other than being completely and utterly flat out at work. I was also celebrating my birthday recently, so I was busy organising that. But thank you for my avid readers for staying in touch.

Sex and the City - Carrie Bradshaw



Carrie has immersed us with interesting and innovative fashion ever since she hit our television screens during season 1. She taught us not to fear mixing textures, patterns and fashion don'ts with fashion dos. She also taught us how to mash up different styles to create our own.

Carrie gave us the best moments on the show, with being broken up by a post it (now days it happens just as awkwardly via text) and her various relationships and hook ups. We can also never forget the saga between Aidan and Big.

Dress - Etsy $85
Sunglasses - Forever 21 $5.80
Clutch - Amazon $29

P.S - No spoilers for Lady Dee - SATC 2 isn't released until June 2nd in Australia.

Sex and the City - Miranda Hobbes




Miranda Hobbes is a lawyer you can't help but love. Miranda was the most responsible, mature and put together character out of the foursome. Her outfits during the seasons were very much hit and miss. I still can't shake the images of Miranda's earlier seasons men suits and blouses which buttoned up to the neck - highlighting Miranda's ambitious personality in an cut throat industry. In future seasons Miranda's fashion started slowly coming together (thank you Patricia Field), the practicality of her suits soon became fashionable!

My favourite moment of Miranda's was when she ran after Steve in the rain to have her fairytale moment - I think I squealed. I have a soft spot for Miranda because while most of my friends compare me to Charlotte, I am very ambitious like Miranda and tend to be a little cynical when it comes to romance - yet a hopeless romantic at heart!

This outfit is from the Sex and the City 2 trailer - it was the hardest to match!

Sex and the City - Samantha Jones

Samantha is one of my favourite Sex and the City characters. She brings such humour to the show and is very much the alpha female of the group. I love Samantha's character, she's confident, knows what she wants, non emotional and successful. However, she also has a sensitive side which rarely comes out but when it does - it touches us all. I also think Samantha is one of the most underrated characters on the show, I always hear my friends discuss Carrie and Charlotte but Miranda and Samantha's names are rarely echoed but they such interesting characters and extremely FUNNY!

Samantha's style is simply sexy and provactive, even her corporate suits scream sexiness. Samantha's style can sometimes also be very loud - who could forget that two piece pink suit?

Here are my cheaper finds to Samantha's outfit from the Sex and the City 2 trailer.

Sunglasses - Hot Topic $9.99

Air kisses!
