Marilyn to ANZAC ...

Mad about men...

If you haven't you need to, 

If you can't you must, 

If you do you understand, 

If you don't you won't read this.

I am of course talking about mad men, the amazingly addictive incredibly styled, wittily written and uber sexy TV show now in its fifth season.

I want Don Draper, I warmed to penny, I still love Roger, hate Jane, secretly wish for a Betty and Don reunion and feel kindred with Joan! 

This obsession along with a general respect for Miss Monroe's abilities with a pencil skirt and cardigan gave me inspiration over the past week, check out the results below...

Wat I'm wearing~ Black vintage pencil skirt, forever new 50's esq black cami top, friends of couture pale pink bolero and black suede bow front Tony Biancos 

Wat I'm wearing~ Black vintage Carla Zampatti knit with Ice Design cream and black art deco-esq woolen knit skirt and black suede bow front Tony Biancos

To Market, to mind and to spirits -straight up! 

My Saturday mornings often spent working off the calories of the night before's alcohol ingestion have recently had another activity added - The farmers markets!

My mothers favourite thing to do on a Saturday morning is to wake up, go for a walk and then finish this all off by grabbing her half comatose daughter and heading to the markets for the weeks fresh veggies,  an almond croissant and strong black coffee.
Now I'm not the greatest fan of late nights with early starts (ironic as I work in events and frequently wake early and go to sleep late)  however I'm a massive fan of the bacon an egg roll and strong black coffee - also I love the fresh flower vendors!

After several weeks of this routine I have now mastered the roll out of bed and fall into something easy, comfortable and chic looking (should like that cute guy from the bus/ train end up being there to!)
see the results below...


Wat I'm wearing~ Dotti dark denim jeans, Armarni Exchange black racer back cotton cami, Vintage woollen cable knit cardigan, Sportsgirl silver and turquoise chain and Bulgari sunnies!

Anzac - Ledg-en-dary!

who doesn't like this public holiday?
If you have to work your making double time and half, if your off then your soaking up the last rays of a pseudo summer, chilling out to beats, maybe playing a little two up at the local and most defiantly having a few cheeky ones to remember those who fought to make it all possible!

If your a Danni, your mother took off on a Thelma an Louise style road trip with girlfriends of her own and left you and the delightfully outfitted entertainers dream house to your own devices..
BBQ-check, TUNES- check, DRINKS -check and my muchly loved friendlettes CHECK CHECK!

Wat I'm wearing~ Minkpink white cotton sundress, Vintage cable knit cardigan, Glassons belt, Allanah Hill Beige patterned tights, Florence riding boots (no really I got them in Florence years ago and have no idea what brand they are!) Dotti sunhat, vintage medallion on a silver chain -it was appropriate I thought! And Prada Aviators stolen from a cute obliging male!

Day well spent!

p.s check out the spaniard plotting our impending european invasion- very che' chic in my hat!

More soon,

Danni

Annie ideas?

Annie time is good...


"tomorrow, tomorrow, i love ya, tomorrow! Bet your bottom dollar on tomorrow...when your stuck with a day thats grey and only - just stick out chin and grin and say - the sun will come out tomorrow, so you gotta hang on till tomorrow, there will be sun!"

It was "the nannas" birthday and as anyone who knows the nanna is aware, she has quite the soft spot for a good musical. Annie is one of the nannas favorite all time classics. When these two factors collide and we have annie the musical - you have a nanna winner!
The date was set, the tickets bought, the lunch choice choosen... But wat would i wear?

Instantly i wanted to wear my red and white cocachoo dress with white peter pan collar and white musical note trim...i have red hair blue eyes and freckles - yep i thought so too! if only i was ten again and appearing to dress up as a favorite character was actually cute?

After a short deliberation i settled on something cute flippy and very lady like... the nana was impressed,  see below!

Wat I'm wearing~  pale pink flip bottom Viva dress (picked up whilst in noosa with the spanaid memories!) Sportsgirl tuxedo blazer belted with Glassons brown and gold belt and cream bow front Rubi shoes

P.S Bistro 80 at the star where we took the nana for pre show lunch was tre' delicious! if you have some time before or after a show its defiantly worth the effort.

Between drinks

The afterwork drink is something of legend for its sheer ability to bring teams together, the IT geek who has never had any reason to talk to football jock sales guy discovers they order the same boutique beer and infact both have an inner love of a german man in tiny leather shots, and over the knee socks! The really 'friendly' girl with the really large 'eyes' and the sensible overly organized liberian type discover they both have a strange and undeniable attraction to stuffed bell chillies which leads to a broader conversation on Chile the country and south america that then leads to both having a weakness for south american men resembling Che Guevara... The point? afterwards both previously unconnected parties are bonded by their shared truths.

Thursday night was after work drinks at my new office! Eek!
What do you wear to this if your the new girl?
Oh and your working on site all day before this ... in jeans, sneakers and a really stunning bright blue corporate sports shirt?
I was defiantly going to have to change in the car on the way over!

I decided on slightly flippy and pretty with a trendy edge, see below.

Wat I'm wearing~  New Sportsgirl yellow flip dress w vintage tan belt, Dotti hat, Bulgari sunnies and Love story Mules. 

Easter...

Family, Feast, Church, Chocolate!

This was the first big family affair for myself and bachelor 1 since we officially resumed our courtship... maybe lol.
So needless to say i needed a hot but cute dress to go with my manbag!

Heres what I found!


Wat I'm wearing~  New Valleygirl lemon floral 50's halter neck, Allanah Hill Pink and black bow cardi, Brown leather buckle belt and Wittner cream wedges!
