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
