Frocktober 2014:: Very Vintage-y (Lazybones)

So Spring decided to revert back to Winter, and things are what I'd call - chilly. I brought out my velvet bolero that I wore for my wedding, and worked it back with the Lara frock from Lazybones. 

The print (Sorrento) is so, so lovely - vintage inspired, and the cut suits me to a tee, A-line delights. You can never go wrong! 

I carefully coiffed my hair into pin curls, donned a snood, some red lips and an oversized flower that Nan from Rummage made many years ago (still a favourite). 

Et voila! 

Many thanks to every single one of my frocking sponsors. You really know how to make a grown woman cry. 

If you've been thinking about sponsoring, every single dollar counts, so if it's small, medium or large - it all goes to kicking ovarian cancer's ass. 

Please help today.

Frocktober 2014:: Day 16 - Rocking The Suburbs (Boden Clothing)

What a joy to wake up and get frocked up to celebrate the halfway mark! Halfway through the month - halfway through my fundraising. I hit $5k!! Hoorah!! 

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has sponsored me. 

And if you haven't? There's still time! Any sized donation is appreciated - and all goes to an excellent cause, to find an early detection test for ovarian cancer. The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation receives all funds from Frocktober.

Sponsor me here. 

Today's frocking fabulous frock is from Boden (now happily shipping to Australia!). The prettiest, retro-fantastic frock you ever did spy. Fully lined and completely beautiful to wear, this one is a real beauty.

Apologies to Betty Draper - I didn't have any gloves or pantihose.

And This Is My Mum

A few shots from way back when.

My Mum and I.. I'm just chilling with my homie, kind of Picnic at Hanging Rock. Kind of not.

And a funny, funny family shot with the matching dresses... I mean of course, my Dad skipped on that look. Oh and please note the very appropriate footwear my sister has chosen with her frock. Rockin' it with the best of them.
