2011 Brownlow Average Dressed

Ahh. The time has come again, to rip through each of these poor unsuspecting ladies.

I decided to title the list ‘average dressed’ this year. I’d hate to be put on a worst dressed list, but could handle average. Imagine if I went to the brownlow, I would probably be dressed by Big W.
This is just a bit of fun, we all know that some of these ladies only get told they are invited 2 weeks before hand.
I don’t know many names of the girls this year, sorry. Probably a good thing so that when they google their names today they don't see this....
 What is going on here. The lace looks like it was sewn on in the Camry on the way there. Not flattering at all. Not sure about the cuff either. Less is more. Also, is there such a thing as black being too black??
 I wish there were more photos of this lass. The back of this dress looks quite interesting. It's like a snake got dipped in OPI Shatter, and then started to shed it's scales.
Also, her hair would have looked better up, in a nice bun.
Rebecca Twigley rang from 2004, she wants her dress back.
If something has already been done and done well, leave it alone sister.

I want to know who designed this frock. Then I want to make sure I never enter that shop incase I get brainwashed and leave the house looking like this.

I just don’t get it.

It looks like a formal dress circa 1992, crossed with a mermaid who is tangled in seaweed.

The one sleeve thing is creeping me out too. There is way too much going on with this.
When I first saw Lauren Phillips, I thought she had on a jump suit. I still don’t know if it was a dress or not.

I actually like the top part but the bottom part is not doing it for me. Her hair is looking shocking also.

Come on Loz, you can do better. We know that you are a big wig on the blue carpet and have designers throwing couture gowns at you, and Nicola Finetti let us down.

I liked her clutch though.

Anyone think Laurens face looked a bit ‘off’ this year? She is normally so pretty. Her arm looks nice and lean.


Who is this and what is going on here? I had a chuckle watching her on the massive Lazy Susan circa 1995 at Ling Wah Chinese Restaurant on Nepean Highway in Frankston. She tried so hard to have her ‘come hither’ face on, and then she nearly stacked it.

I heard her say that if the dress was good enough for Fashion Week in New York, it was good enough for her.

Sorry – it wasn’t good enough for Fashion Week in the first place.

It looks like it has those plastic rings that get stuck on seals from beer cans stuck to the bottom. She didn’t smile once either. A smile can make an outfit 10x better.

Her hairdresser obviously hates her.
A surprise entrant here.

I like Rebecca Judd, I think she is gorgeous.

I just feel like we have seen this before. Can’t Aurelio Costarella surprise us for once? When Rebecca said that it wasn’t mustard, it’s corn I just thought to my self ‘No, it’s dehydrated urine’. I’ve read around the traps today that people think she has had some work done to her face. Thoughts?

How does she look like that a few months after giving birth to Oscar. How, HOW I ASK YOU??!?!

I actually love the cap sleeves though. They are #winning. The shoes however, are #losing. They don’t go with the dress at all, there is already too much going on. Some nude open toe CL’s would have done the trick.

I think her hair looks stunning though. Me likey.
The mullet dress.

Party in the front, business in the back.

Don’t do this to me, I can’t handle it.

Nice shoes dude.
This could have been quite nice, if it was not so ill fitting on the bust. What is going on here?? I wore a sequin covered dress to my sisters wedding and had cut shoulders from it, imagine how heavy this bad boy must have been.

I think this could have worked, but it didn’t.

I like the colour though. Hair tied back in a sharp bun would have worked also.
Lauren Tscharky.
Is it just me or is this dress 2 different colours? A pearl bodice and a dusty pink skirt? It’s like they added the embellishment to try and disguise that, didn’t work though.

I never understand front slits. Sure, if I had her legs I would probably rock a front slit all day long, but I don’t – therefore I don’t understand them. Very bridal.
There is nothing wrong with this, it just does nothing for her.  
Alright. I am confused, once again. I feel like she belongs in a really sad and gloomy opera. Are they dirty white rosettes on the hips? Not feeling it.
A bodice like this deserves a figure hugging skirt also. She has a nice figure, so should have gone for it. I like her smile though.
Ahh Brynne. You never disappoint me, NEVER!!!

I love how many times she announced that she loved the designer so much that they just bought 50% of the company.

Clearly the designer does not love her, or she would make the bodice fit her breasts properly. How hard is it?!?!

Brynne has killer legs. She is/was a personal trainer isn’t she? She can come and train me and turn my pork chops into drumsticks. I like her, she cracks me up. I love her self confidence also.
I want to see close ups of the shoes, any brand suggestions?
This is better than what she wore the last 2 years, that is fo shizzle.
Tania Hird. I have nothing much to say, other than I don’t like this on her.

I have never watched The Amazing Race but they tell me Renae Wauhop was on it. I’ll tell you what’s amazing – how that dress did not pop open and reveal her lady lumps, that’s what!!
This was obviously a very “I’ve been on a reality TV show so there will 100% be photos of me and I am going to make sure that they don’t over look me” moment. She has a killer bod though. Cannot say that I blame her for wearing it.

I just don’t like gold lame lightening bolt dresses.


I’m sad that there were not too many shockers.

Also, what was the deal with them having to start in the drive way at Crown? Don’t people know how dirty the floor is??? Not very glamorous.

My major damage was done to my wedding dress when walking from reception at Crown Metropol to the limo, 1 meter away.

Thoughts? Are any of my “Average Dressed” on your “Best Dressed”?

I remember Geefa used to go to the Brownlow, thanks for the invite Geef.

How boring is the count.

Best Dressed still to come. 

Dhalia

I managed to snare a complete bargain from The Dressing Room in GPO, this sweet little silk Dhalia dress at a fantastic discounted price.




When I picked it off the rack, the sales assistant said to me "Just to warn you, this dress is a terrible fit. The bust cups are too big for the size of the ribs section" which happens to work just fine for me, a big breasted girl with a small waist. Excellent. I do need to have the straps taken up though.





I don't have much in Apricot, so this is a welcome addition to the wardrobe of love.



Looking forward to wearing it in Fiji for our honeymoon!!




I can't wait to feel the sun on my skin, to eat fresh fruit and seafood all day, and to frolick in the ocean with my husband.


$329 down to $49!!




Hells yeah!





Oscar was his name.

Here is my new (yet old) Vintage Oscar de la Renta necklace that I scored on eBay. I don't know when I'm going to wear it, but I really like it! I normally go for dainty plain things so this is a bit different.


The thing I like about a necklace is that they can really change up an outfit that you have already worn 100000 times.


I need to ban eBay.




Worn with my Hael Dress.

Leona Edmiston JADE Dress

I don't know whether to thank you, or to curse you Ms S for informing me that this dress was on sale on the Leona website for 30% off!!! I just bought it, woops.




I told my self last week that if I still wanted it in a weeks time, then I should buy it. Usually this is a great method of weeding out the duds, so when I realised I still really want it, I bought it online for $276.50, that's a saving of $118.50!! Excellent.


The stock photo above is the right colour and I don't have anything else in this colour. It comes in a lilac, which was so tempting but I already have a few dresses in lilac. Need to mix it up a little.
I'm already planning the perfect occasion to wear it, with my silver witchery sandles at a romantic beach side dinner in Fiji (I'll be there in 110 days!!).
I know, I need to get a life!!!!

Please id this dress!

Can anyone help me id this dress? I am desperate for it!!


I know that Haute Hippe has a similar style, the 'Take me Now' dress as seen on Blake Lively, but I really want this one. I've seen it on 2 girls in Melbourne in the last year and didn't have the guts to ask where it was from, now I'm kicking my self!


Anything similar at least?


This is the Haute Hippie Dress.


Do we think it's the same one?



Should I get it in purple?

iPhone Pics

It's that time of the week. Time to spam ya'll with my recent iPhone pics.


I'm slowly embracing winter hats. Why wouldn't I? They keep me so toasty.
At work last week I got called into one of the partners office, and on the way was trying to think what I had done wrong recently, or at least, what had they found out that I had done wrong?

It turns out they just wanted to thank me for working so hard the last 2 months and staying back after work in neccersary. The other PA was on long service leave so I was picking up her work. They gave me a $500 Myer voucher which I was surprised by! They obviously didn't need to, since I was just doing my job but it is nice to be appreciated

Anyway, I bought 2 new Hi There by Karen Walker dresses, and am trying to decide what else to buy. The above pic is one of the dress prints.
This dress was my Nannas, and it is beyond cute on. I can't wait to wear it and share it with you all. Our Aunty originally gave it to my sister Jo as her wardrobe is pretty much pure vintage, but I loved it so much that Jo gave it to me. I'm greatful that we are both small enough to wear Nannas clothing!

Thomas is loving life, sitting on his big boy table and chair.

In a few weeks he will be a big brother!!!

Tulips in Geefas office.

So cute. Beyond cute.

This pic is my screen saver on my phone and my phone is currently going thru a craze where it starts to vibrate randomly, which causes the screen to flash up all the time so I'm always looking at this cutie.

On the iPhone front, my 'silent' option has also died. So annoying but I am trying to hold out until they release the iPhone 5 before getting a new phone.

Nom Nom Nom

Loved this Leona Edmiston dress, but was not paying $435 (I think that's the price) for a dress that I have no occasion for.

The only occasion I could think of was a romantic dinner on our honeymoon, and pairing it with sandals. Meh.

OPI - Isn't that precious?

This is one of those annoying polishes where 4 coats still is not opaque and you can see the line where your skin ends behind the nail.

My snack drawer at work.


What? A girls got to eat.


The other Hi there by Karen Walker Dress.

What the cupcake once looked like.


Happy weekend yo!
