LE GALA DU MET COSTUME INSTITUTE 2010

If I thought February was a busy month, May is giving it a run for it's money.  I've run out of room in my Moleskine with meetings, appointments, assignment, copy to file... none of it fun.  Everything is just too hard.  It's almost 10:30 at night and I'm consoling myself with some pistachio nuts and peppermint tea (hey, it could easily have been a glass of pinot and some chocolate).  I'll get through it all, I know I will.  I always do.

JLo and Anne Hathaway wore an almost identical dress!?

Oprah in ODLR with Mr ODLR... love a woman who wears what suits her body type

Thakoon for Gap.. wow

Gisele looks smoking

Padma looks like she had a baby a few months ago.. unlike Gisele!

No!

Once my shopping ban is lifted at the end of May, the first thing I want is this... Ticks my boxes of being a great layering piece and appropriate for work and play

Country Road Gathered Jersey Dress $179.95

Making it easy to follow...

I've set up bloglovin (I think you all should too, it's such an easy way to follow your favourite blogs, a lot easier than blogspot), as well as an email subscription service, which will email you each time I publish a new post.

RAWF 2010 - Day 1

Rosemount Australian Fashion Week started today and I will be dedicating this week to coverage of my favourite shows and designers.  Most of the designs are very accessible to the general public and can be preordered from designers or various websites within the next few months, so it's definitely a good time to start thinking of the summer 2010/2011 wardrobe.. which seems a lifetime away.

Lisa Ho - very feminine, neutral colours with lovely draping

========================================================================

Ginger & Smart - loved almost every look in their collection.  Again lots of neutrals, easy breezy for summer.  Jumpsuits aren't going anywhere.

Logies 2010 - some other looks..

Dinner @ Hellenic Republic

It's no secret that Melbourne has great Greek food and according to B, it's better than the Greek food in Greece.


One of our favourites is Hellenic Republic.  Uncomplicated, home-style Greek cooking. The food is simple, authentic Greek - dips, salads, spit, seafood, saganaki.  If you're hungry, definitely head there for a yummy meal.  It is however very loud, like a typical Greek taverna with an open kitchen.


It's cheap(ish). It's cheerful. There's no weird stuff, no modern interpretations, definitely no evidence of fusion. 


My photos are blurry as they were taken in a hurry as B think it's embarrassing when I pull out my camera in public, ha!

Outfit for the evening (hair looks orange due to lighting, I promise it's not like that "in person")

• Scanlan & Theodore twill tunic.  If I wasn't so tall, this could work as a dress
• Sass & Bide Rats
• YSL booties
• SG necklace

Generous serving to dip and saganaki with peppered figs

The busy open kitchen and a crowd of very varied diners - families, couples, tourists...

Our cosy little corner window

Yummy dessert

Again, apologies for the poor photography, all done with one shot, on auto!  Bad!!

Logies 2010

The Logies are the Australian answer to the Emmy/Oscar nights, except that the public votes and everyone is invited, including the Z grade WAGs, reality "stars" etc.

The awards start in about half an hour and some early red carpet images are online... Always a good laugh
