P O L Y V O R E

I've been really getting into POLYVORE over the last week - it's fulfilling my 'dressing a Barbie doll' + Cher Horowitz-computerised-revolving-wardrobe (Clueless) + high-end shopping fantasies. Here are a few of my creations (varying in quality). For more, follow me on www.polyvore.com at Ezzebel.

The website enables you to shop for the items you like, and follow users you like (i.e. dangerous territory if you're on a budget!) but definitely fun to create your own.

Green-eyed monster

I've recently discovered the reality TV series 'Giuliana and Bill' on Style channel, whilst housesitting and supposedly studying hard. I have to admit, when I saw photos in the tabloids of Giuliana Rancic (nee Depandi) and Bill Rancic I initially thought they were another two fame-hungry bimbos with minimal talent. I'm not ashamed to say in this case, that I was wrong.

Giuliana Depandi rose to fame as television presenter for E! news, and manages to hold her own with jokes and strong opinions during the show. Bill Rancic is an entrepreneur who became a house-hold name in the US when he won the first series of The Apprentice. They met in an E! News interview which led to a whirlwind romance and marriage.

The couple have written a book and since became the centrepiece of reality TV series 'Giuliana and Bill.' The show follows the couple through day-to-day life, but also through experiences such as repeated rounds of IVF, Giuliana's diagnosis of breast cancer and the resulting double-mastectomy, and finally (as we are about to see in the upcoming season) the birth of their son (Duke) via a gestational carrier. They are both also involved in philanthropic work, with both giving regular speeches at Universities (Bill) and events focused on breast cancer (Giuliana), and Bill recently built a house in Haiti for a poverty-stricken family.

That is all well and good, but most of all I find the show very fun, and the couple are somewhat aspirational to me because they seem to 'have it all'. Enough talking... see for yourself (and I'd be interested to hear any of your thoughts!)

 And their house(s) are amazing! Lucky girl also has her own fashion line coming out, I would just die!

Have a little fun

Even though its the depths of a Melbourne Winter, I'm coveting denim short-shorts (that obviously go with everything!), bright-coloured kimonos, strappy flat sandals, Chloe Sevigny's personal style (and her collaboration with Opening Ceremony, featuring a fluffy leopard print cardigan), coffee and marshmallows. 

Flats = Zara <3
There are no marshmallows left :(

Its been a long time between posts, as work has been keeping me busy. However, since today is my birthday, there is plenty of time for pretty self-indulgences --

Note that the pink Celine bag is actually a cake!

So desparate to see Gatsby, if only just for the overall drama, flair and colour that comes from Baz Luhrman, looks amazing!!!!
