Fashionable Friday: Pink Peonies {Fashion}

The Hubs and I are heading to Japan for Christmas and the weather is going to be on average 10 degrees.

I am feeling rather inspired by Rachel Parcell from Pink Peonies and her Gorgeous winter looks!.

My “Wardrobe Phone” {Shopping}

You would all have such a laugh if you went through the photographs on my phone. It has come to my attention that I have developed Cher’s  wardrobe computer from my favourite 90’s movie “Clueless” on my phone, I refer to my camera phone when purchasing clothes and for outfit selection.

Purchasing clothes, resisting impulse purchases

I regularly take a photos in the change room of clothes I like, I then review the potential purchase at home. If I feel like heading back to the store to make the purchase it’s not an impulse purchase.

Portmans, not currently on website  (I went back and purchased this one)

Outfit selection

I take phone pictures of outfits I am happy with, it reminds me of complete “go to” outfits I have put together (helpful in busy mornings). Please excuse the mess on the stair.  

Cue Dress (2009)

I also take pictures to help me decide on accessories for different occasions.

 Portmans $59.95 (on sale now)

Please no judgement here until you try it! One of my girlfriends whom had a laugh at my “Wardrobe phone” has recently become a convert, I receive text messages of change room outfits for opinion all the time!

My very FIRST {Fashion Post} Concert Style

A few people have asked following my major closet clean out about if it was possible for me to do a few fashion posts. I am fashion enthusiast, or maybe just a shopaholic, however I would say that my shopping style for my home is similar to when shopping for myself, I like to be thrifty with my purchases with a  few splurges here and there. My wardrobe is a lot of basic pieces in black and white as a base with a good size sprinkling of glitz, bling and sparkle.  

It might surprise a lot of people I love to shop at chain stores, I love places like Target and K Mart for basics, I will however throw in a designer accessory here and there to ramp up the bling. This outfit is something I would wear to work.

I went to a concert last night with a friend and decided to asked the hubs to take a photo of me before I left (here I am fashioning the latest in air conditioning control panels and GPO’s).  

Target dress (Limited editions range), K Mart Shoes,

Zara Blazer, Kookai Earrings and ring.

The ring is fab! (Chain Tastle) Now $15! (Darn it)

We saw Carrie Underwood.... She was Amazing! Such a great voice with so many meaningfull songs, oh and lets not forget her killer hair!

What do you think? Would you like to see more Black Velvet Chair fashion posts?

Aqua... {Fashion}

You can probably tell I get a little distracted by bright and shiny things, but this outfit is perfection!

I am not sure if "aqua pants" would fall into the "white pant" category and needn't be seen on anyone over a size 6, I am willing to give it a try* (In the change rooms).

"Arm Candy"

I have been rocking Arm Candy lately, have you? Out to dinner with a friend recently whom commented "That's allot of bracelets" my reply "It's an Arm Party".

"Arm Candy/ Arm party" is basically a fashionable excuse to break out all of your fabulous watches and bracelets and wear them at once*!

*BEWARE: There is a fear of looking like that lady that you saw on the train (that one time) who had on EVERY piece of jewelry she had ever bought or been given. 

Styling is key to success.
