Why 'what to wear on piste' doesn't mean your attire after a few cocktails!

For someone who had never been to the snow before, let alone paid attention to snow-fashion, you can imagine my panic earlier this year, when faced with a ski wear sale, only moments after being surprised with a trip to Hotham.

Now, for those who need to play catch-up, I'm the sort of girl who will catch a cab home if I dont feel happy in my threads. I have been known to leave the odd surprise birthday to get changed, hey - 'its my party and I'll cry if I want to', as they say. Boo hoo, anyway - back to my dilemma.

Does one go candy coloured and cutesy? Or stick with the Melbourne Fashionista fail-safe of black, while on piste? Thank heavens for 2009 technology, as I readily tapped into my iPhone, googling pics of Kate Moss and Victoria Beckham on the slopes.

After much investigation, black seemed to be the way to go - a better investment for fashion longevity at least.

Now, if I can just arrange for some Chanel ski's, I'm set!

A little birdy told me ....

So anyone strolling past their local Gripp Jeans Store would have noticed a very glamorous change to their stock, and according to my sources (I'll never tell...) its all thanks to their new designer - who just happened to be poached from Bettina Liano!

I thought their new season looked familiar - find Pagoda statement shoulders, cut out dresses, silk harem pants and the most devine Chloe inspired sheer blouses to drool over.

Unfortunately their price point has also gone up to that of BL. I guess some things just cant stay the same.

Gripp - pieces to love, your Visa card however will not.

Watch the Rachel Zoe Project Season 2, Ep 1 here!

I woke up this morning in a very blah mood. Who eats all the cereal and leaves the empty box in the pantry anyway?

This however, put a smile on my face. A very much anticipated return to our screens - The Rachel Zoe Project, Season 2.

Enjoy Episode 1, part 1 here!

Separated at Birth?

Ok, so one of these is a freak, and the other is ... um ... Marilyn Manson. Now I do believe, that when the end of the world comes, the only beings to survive will be the cockroaches and Donatella Versace (hey, all that botox and silicone has practically embalmed the woman), so its no surprise to me that her offspring is a little .. ahh .. kooky?

Seriously though, coming from Fashion Royalty, dont you think someone could have volunteered to help the poor little lamb when it came to putting this look together?

Allegra, call a stylist immediately, cos there can only be one Marilyn Manson, and quite frankly, thats one too many.

Go Bananas over 'The Zoe Report'

When checking my email this morning I wondered if my birthday had come early this year?

No, (its 1st Sept however, for those of you who wish to forward on gifts, lol) it was just a welcome email from RachelZoe.com, advising that her daily email 'The Zoe Report' was coming my way!

Buzzing with excitement, I see she'll be chatting about her current obsessions and various sample sales, although I worry her 'style' will become mainstream with the amount of fans I expect will be reading this. You can kiss goodbye to those days when your favourite vintage clothing store was well stocked, with every 12 year old Supre shopper discovering it first. (and please, no offence to Supre, I do love your store)

However it is my job to spread the fashion love, so sign up now!
