Frocktober 23: Sunday Sunday

I've had the fabulous pleasure of assembling  part 1 of 4 of my new wardrobe: The Shoe Display! Looks like I'll be needing some more shelves for this baby, the handbags are going at the top.

Sadly I'll have to wait at least 2 weeks before I can look at assembling the rest of it, but here's a little sneaky peek at what I'm thinking for our complete bedroom makeover...

Dark slate walls, white sheers, white bedding, white wardrobe, plus pops of colour everywhere. But that's all maybe 2 months before it will all be done... oooh, I can't wait!

Frocktober 22: Styling some drag

Well, there's something you don't see every day! My friend's hubby, Dave, is a bloke's bloke - beer loving, sports fanatic and the proud owner of THAT chair. So it's a wonderful surprise that Dave had put up his own Frocktober Challenge, possibly in the belief that it could never happen, that if he managed to gain sponsorship to the tune of $2000 (for OCRF), that he would wear a frock with accessories to work (he's normally looking sharp in a suit)!!!

The great news is, that he has increased the challenge to include a frocked up ladies lunch at an outdoor cafe in Kingston if the total tips $5,000.
Now, not one to be upsetting the sponsors, Dave wants to be sure his outfit is a winner, so he turned to me to put something nice together and here's what we came up with! Just quietly - I think he's having fun!

Can you help get this man in drag out to lunch? Go to Dave's Frocktober Challenge page to donate now, Friday is the date - donations need to be in by Thursday!

Frocktober 21: Happy Friday!

Today's frock is one I made a couple of years ago, and last Frocktober I wore it with green and black accessories. This year I have changed the neckline to something a little more casual. Never the less it's always a conversation piece!

I got some dirty work done this morning before frocking up to have a ladies lunch with some fabulous gal pals.
Well, thank goodness it's the weekend. I'm going to have LOTS of Ikea goodies to assemble, awesome. And I'm not even being sarcastic!

Hope your weekend is gorgeous, xx

Frocktober 20: Yellow and Hypnotic Red

Last year, during Frocktober, I wore this frock at the beach... this time with heels for some different kind of fun... and lots of yellow accessories.

I'm also sporting a fresh new hair colour... it's called 'Hypnotic Red'... that was pretty brave right?
It's a little Ronald MacDonald... but I'm actually ok with that!!

Pleeeeeaaase sponsor my Frocktober Challenge... my jeans are calling out to me big time!
While all of this is for a great cause, it's only worth it if you can make a donation, xxx.

Frocktober 19: Prototyping

Inspired by this gorgeous sunny weather, I thought I should work on a project which had been shelved over the winter. I picked up 2 Butterfly Chair frames with no covers a looooong time ago, now, finally, I have started experimenting with a prototype cover. It certainly needs some more tweaking... but it's close...

All I need is a chilled cocktail! xx

Frocktober 18: Distinctly Summery

Self-made dress, French Connection Cardi, Ebay shoes.

Frocktober 17: Back to School

And back to 'normal' - whatever that is!!

Here's what I wore to do the grocery shopping today...

What else but a cherry laden Betty Page frock and great heels? Ha ha!
