Friday: Love of the clothing kind

I am so smitten with the new couture collection of my beloved Chanel, I could scream it across town. Mr. Langefeld has once again proven himself a true romantic with the care and beauty bestowed upon this collection. So in love you could suggest that he even made the models heads look like little hearts.

Love is Chanel, Chanel is love!

Love, Post Miss.

Thursday: Kapow!

Just wondering if she carries around speech bubbles.

Hope your day is like a very good comic, you know, a bit of action, adventure, comedy and the happy ending with a dashing sort.
And of course, saving the world. That too.

Love, Post Miss.

Wednesday: Helmut hair.

I love my bike. I need my bike.

But how can anyone on this fine earth manage to

negotiate hair and helmuts?

Love, Post Miss.

Tuesday: Flying high

Love the day off. Ignore the green and gold bogans.

Head to the beach this arvo. Avoid any unwanted anthems.

Music's on. Cricket's off. Tennis is a maybe. 

I'm as free as balloons in the big blue sky.

Happy Australia Day!

Love, Post Miss.

Thursday: Sketchy Characters.

Love, Post Miss.

Wednesday: Spirit of the Black Dress.

Black is the new black was always black and will forever be black.

Submissions open today for the Spirit of the Black Dress exhibition held as part of the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival. Design and make a contemporary black dress that passes sustainability criteria, and you could do Chanel proud. See http://www.thespiritoftheblackdress.com.au/ for more details.

Love, Post Miss.

Tuesday: The eternal bag lady

Surrounded by clothes but nothing to wear, the eternal struggle.

Love, Post Miss.

Monday: All gone.

Monday was a day made for baked treats.

Love, Post Miss.

Saturday: Pedal, Petal.

Pedal power to this cara-bike!

Ride away into the glorious weekend with your home trailing behind,

and thinking of the thigh-burn travelling up hill,

I now sympathise with the snail's pace.

Love, Post Miss.

Friday: Wolf Vintage

 Wolf Vintage

 Vintage & Designer Recycled Clothing

 http://www.wolfvintage.com.au/

Off Elgin St, just near Lygon St, Carlton.

For all those with a vintage-beating heart or in EPM (a common affliction: extreme poverty mode), Wolf Vintage will see you through with a well-edited collection of vintage designer and recycled clothing and accessories. I spotted this little shop months ago when it opened in September but until recently hadn't made it through the door.  Make it through the door. I highly recommend it. And even if you're in EPM up to your eyebrows, you can always employ just-looking-thanks. Well, you can try.

Love, Post Miss.

Thursday: A glimpse of her soul.

If paint on a canvas were pictures of a soul, these works would tell of Heidi Locher, an artist who splashes colour to capture the unseen of ourselves.

I imagine mine would be similar; a beautiful tangle of the smudged, thick, flattened, delicate, deliberate, chaotic and happy strokes of the human soul. In full colour.

Love, Post Miss.

Wednesday: Take it easy Grandma!

Love, Post Miss.

Tuesday: Is there a little Lolita in you?

Lolita styling is rife on the catwalks at the moment… and so it should be.

Check out the adorable Lolitaesque “I’m only 13 but I can pack punch” styling

Monday: Splash.

On days like this, I wish I lived in a swimming pool.

Love, Post Miss.

Saturday: They'll keep.

So despite sage advice that a clean house is a sign of a clean mind,

it's the weekend. Keep it dirty.

Love, Post Miss.

Thursday: Dreaming of Dior

A very thoughtful Santa gave me the most delightful book this Christmas, I am now not only completely obsessed but trying to replicate the books inspiring private collection of heavenly vintage gowns.

Each time I sift through the illustrations for inspiration I am called by savers, the salvos and any op shop in sight to go in search of a treasure buried within their mountains of clothes.

I am not only dreaming about Dior but I am dreaming of the ultimate find! Whatever that may be….

(the lucky author who inherited a mint collection of vintage pieces and wrote a neat little book about it)

Love, Post Miss.

Wednesday: Green Graffiti

Street artists with green thumbs and eco-lovin' hearts.

This work credited to Mosstika Urban Greenery.

Love, Post Miss.

Tuesday: Shadow hands

Avoid being picked up by any shadowy characters.

Love, Post Miss.

Monday: New year sparkles

Holidays are over, but the sparkles remain.

Running around in the ocean as the thunderclouds rolled in,

watching fireworks surpassed by lightening bolts across the sky,

dancing, shimmying, and losing my voice from talking far too much,

these are all my first memories of the year. And I love them.

Wishing you all a very merry, happy, joyful and peaceful start to Twenty-Ten.

What fads, fashions and adventures await...we can only imagine.

Love, Post Miss.

Wednesday: Vovo looking

I was always told if you ate to much of something you would turn into one.

Who knew it could look so glamorous!

Love, Post Miss.

Tuesday: So long

It is that time of year when I start to wonder about The Great Chop.

The Big Hair Decision. The merits of Short vs Long.

Must something in the summer sun.

Who knows what will happen this year, but I take comfort in the

fact that should my current lengths be farewelled, I will repeat the

age-old mantra to myself, it will grow again. And if all else fails, wear a hat. 

Love, Post Miss.

Monday: Take a moment and think.....

And try not to get yourself  in as much trouble.

Love, Post Miss.

Saturday: Shopper

To all those brave Christmas shoppers out today, I salute you.

What would make it all worth while is this lovely tote...

woven + straw + washed pink leather handles = perfect summer bag.

Love, Post Miss.

Friday: Bike it like Einstein

If I was smart like Einstein I would get on my bike and ride off into the weekend, without a second thought for the last few hours of the week.

Love, Post Miss.

Thursday: Lines of Audrey

Love, Post Miss

Wednesday: Geeks are chic

Love, Post Miss.

Tuesday: Read more.

Books and blogs make a well read person.

Love, Post Miss.

Monday: Coco says no.

Today I am making like Coco and stamping my foot at retail madness.

I will cherish the truly beautiful, whether it be product, person or philosophy.

Love, Post Miss.

Friday: The Sartorialist book signing

I have to admit I was a little excited to go to the Satorialist book signing. I may or may not have spent hours or days thinking about exactly what would be the perfect effortless outfit to impress a man who has seen the chicest and most interesting styles from all over the globe…. the thought of that alone was impossibly intimidating.

Although this also meant everyone else was feeling the exact same way and I could not resist seeing what they thought was an optimum outfit. The line was long so it gave some quality observation time to asses the crowd.

Two and a half hours and one book signed later it was all a wash of fashion crushes and nervous comments.

Apologies for missing a post this week, but hopefully this will make up for it

Love, Post Miss.

Wednesday: I scream for icecream.

Look, icecream no hands!

Love, Post Miss.

Tuesday: A true romantic

True love...

Love, Post Miss.

Monday: Usual Suspects

It’s been nothing but the usual suspects today, hard work and not nearly enough enthusiasm on my behalf. Maybe a bike ride or scrumptious dinner can get me out of this tizz I’m in, if all else fails a man in a monkey suit will always get me to crack a smile.

Love, Post Miss.

Friday: Psst.

Psst. It's Friday! Pass it on.

Love, Post Miss.

Thursday: Doing it eBay style

We all have an eBay addiction whether we like to admit it or not, but if you love fashion you will know the joy of finding a great deal and having it delivered to your door. Plus with nice pics like these you feel like your almost really shopping.

Check out eBay store Lonely Hunter for some cheap threads that will have auctions finishing shortly.

Wednesday:Overstated

A pose not encouraged after a bite of sushi.

Love, Post Miss.

Tuesday: I now know we all love you!

have recently become a fan/obsessed with Gossip Girl and it is nice to know there are other closet case watchers who think of Blair every time they see a headband.

Garance is obviously equally addicted, as shown by the topic of her post today:

I just adore Blair’s Audrey moments.

XOXO You know you love me, Post Miss.
