A Fascinating Day at the Races :: Sydney
2007-04-15 02:32:00 Sydney is again awash with Race Fever and on any given morning our suburban streets are filled with dressed up curbside punters waiting for their taxis to the track. I found this Fascinating Fascinator at 11am this Saturday morning.... Even better are the scenes outside the pubs in the afternoons .... where you will find the penguins without their ties and the girls barefoot with their heels in their hands and their fascinators sliding sideways off their heads.

A Country Road :: Sydney
2007-04-13 13:45:00 It's been around since the days when beige was high fashion and private school girls wore crisp linen pants, a chambray shirt, a string of pearls and a pair of sensible flat shoes (or RM Williams) at the rugby. And for me it was only ever good for a big fluffy bath robe or a new white duna cover and sheet set. But in 2007 it seems that its back and the street on everybody's lips for basic fashion essentials is Country Road . I just love this jacket..... More About: Sydney

From Top to Toe :: Bondi Beach :: Sydney
2007-04-03 01:49:00 I think this girl has a great look going on. From the pointy trainers to the leopard print leggings, the leather jacket and the big hair. It's just fabulous. Again, sorry about the image quality. More About: Beach , Bond , Sydney , Bondi Beach , Bondi

Sweet Pea :: BB's Bar :: Bondi Beach :: Sydney
2007-04-03 01:14:00 I visited the latest version of BB's Bar the other night at its new location on Campbell Parade and spotted this cute white pea-coat with red love hearts on it. Great for the autumnonic weather we're having in Sydney at the moment. I also loved the little black and white ballet flats this girl was wearing, with the little black ribbons on the top. Sorry about the picture quality though. Like me, the camera phone isn't big on being out too late at night. More About: Beach , Bond , Sweet , Sweet Pea

It's all in the Shoes :: Bellevue Hill :: Sydney
2007-03-25 06:25:00 You can tell a lot about a person from their shoes. To me they are the true pinnacle in any outfit. It may seem strange but it all finishes at the bottom for me, and if the shoes aren't good, I'm not interested. So when I spotted this fantastic pair this morning I couldn't help but stop and ask about them. It was the big red bauble on the top that first attracted me to them, but on closer inspection they have the most fascinating design. I'm not sure whether it was the fluro rubber, the ankle strap or the thong style toes but what ever it was I love them! And of course, the girl was lovely too!

Poor White Trash :: Sydney
2007-03-20 03:52:00 I cant help noticing how a portion of the Sydney Fash Pack have taken to looking like Poor White Trash . I mean those cool cats are taking the worst of eighties fashion and making themselves look seriously povo. The resurgence seems to have re-embraced the following: Rayban Wayfarers, fluro everything, big hair (on men), Fedora hats, torn jeans and shirts, more Fedora hats, short shorts, the Bondi Handbag and tartan (aka the flano..) Venturing through some Sydney party photos on the The Cobra Snake's site I noticed some serious Trailer-Park-Looks goin' on. I must say, there were definately some hints of Fabulous there, but there was also some serious hints of Hideous! These Junior Pirates at Bondi Skate Park were found on The Cool Hunter site. They're just doing their best to achieve the wealthier version of the look. More About: White Trash

Who's your Daddy? :: Fox Studio's :: Moore Park :: Sydney
2007-03-19 05:11:00 Parenting in Sydney leaves you with a multitude of activity choices on the weekends. The beach. The park. The City. The pub. (Did I say that?) But on an overcast day when everyone is sufferring from Cabin Fever, why not head down to a place like the local playground. Why here you can surround yourself with slightly larger primary coloured plastic objects than you have in your loungeroom and multiply the number of small people at your feet by 100. Just like this Daddy . More About: Your , Park , Studio

Compo Holiday :: Bellevue Hill :: Sydney
2007-03-19 04:45:00 Fancy some time off work? Why not try having your hand crushed by a window. Not long after being stitched up at the hospital, and not long into the first few Panadeine Forte's, this poor chap and his wife were grabbing a quick takeaway coffee in Bellevue Hill before heading off to pick up their brand new car. No prizes for guessing who's driving that puppy home. More About: Holiday , Sydney

Curb Crawling :: Liverpool Street :: East Sydney
2007-03-17 22:43:00 This little pocket of land nested between Oxford Street , William Street and Darlinghurst Road is famous for its Curb Crawlers and even a smattering of signs at every street corner doesn't deter the working girls doing laps up and down this little strip. And right in the middle of Liverpool Street is the lovely East Village hotel where you can enjoy a refreshing beverage while taking in the lappers and escaping the end of Summer humidity. These girls were doing just that yesterday. And their waitress with the cute shoes gets to do it everyday! More About: Sydney , Crawling

2007-03-14 23:15:00 Self titled by those that live and work in this little street behind Sydney 's most famous beach, the French Quarter folk really are fabulously eccentric.

Autumnonic :: Bondi Junction :: Sydney
2007-03-09 11:38:00 Is there such a word? A-U-T-U-M-N-O-N-I-C A word to describe the feeling you get when the weather suddenly changes and you wake up feeling cold and want to don a cardy and a pair of closed toe shoes - until of course the midday sun is beating down on you... It's a word that springs to mind when you see the leaves change colour on the beautiful Plane trees lining Oxford Street past the Centennial Hotel. With much debate around the dinner table last night over a few bottles of vino and absolutely no access to Google, it was decided that even if it isn't a word - it should be. AUTUMNONIC. However, since access has been restored, Google has said: Your search - autumnonic - did not match any documents. Suggestions: Make sure all words are spelled correctly. Try different keywords. Try more general keywords. Oh well. The trees are still beautiful at this time of year. More About: Sydney , Junction , Bondi
