Auf Wiedersehen, darlings.

February 20th 2012 04:24
When your writing no longer reflects what's happening in your life, you know that your time blogging about a certain topic has come to a close... and this is what has come to pass with me and Fashion Peach. Since giving birth to my first baby in June last year, my interest in fashion has almost completely deserted me - these days, I'm more likely to be wearing yoga pants or my husband's boardies paired with an old T-shirt than the latest offerings from my favourite local designers.

Thanks for reading!
Farewell, Fashion Peach, and thanks for the memories.

Style springs eternal

February 8th 2012 09:53
I've just stumbled across the best article I've read in a long time on the genuinely iconic sartorial stylings of the late Grace Kelly... so good, in fact, that it would be negligent of me not to pass it on to my readers. Written by Karen Kissane and titled Fit for a princess, you can click over to it here.

Red leather, yellow leather

February 1st 2012 08:31
Leather skirts and dresses are certainly nothing new on the fashion circuit, but if you're yet to invest in this feisty (and surprisingly long lasting) trend, then why not do as the actressy-types do and go for colour, rather than basic black?

Think before you ink

January 25th 2012 03:22
Once upon a time tattoos lived in the realm of the alternative. They were for those of us who possessed a true rebellious streak, and were popular among drug dealers, prison inmates, and otherwise shady characters with a connection to society's dark and seedy underbelly. But with seemingly every second person under the age of thirty now sporting a tattoo of some kind, they've become little more than a fashion statement... and are now, as one writer put it, "as edgy as a padded watermelon."

Red carpet stunners at the 69th Golden Globe Awards

January 16th 2012 10:01
I'll admit it right now: I didn't watch the Golden Globes. I rarely do. But every year, without fail, I'll click my way through the photos of what the actresses wore... and for the first time ever, I actually feel compelled to write about it. Why? Aside from the fact that I miraculously have the time (with my wonderful husband blessing me with two hours of blissful, baby-free blogging), the reasons are threefold...

Mila Kunis models for Christian Dior

January 9th 2012 04:26
How do you know when you've made the transition from starlet to superstar? When Christian Dior comes knocking at your door! Hollywood actress Mila Kunis has become the newest face (and body) of Dior, joining the likes of Charlize Theron, Marion Cotillard, and her Black Swan co-star Natalie Portman in the highly coveted position. And despite the fact that she calls herself a "jeans and T-shirt" kind of girl, you have to admit that she looks right at home in the role of Miss Dior.

Get hot hair for 2012

December 6th 2011 09:22
It seems the holiday vibe has already set in at Fashion Peach! I'm feeling extra lazy right now, so rather than taking the time to write an actual article for December, I'm just going to do some shameless cross-promotion for my other blog instead. Over there I've written about four key hairstyle trends that are on the up and up for 2012... check them out here if you feel so inclined.

Fascinating...

November 6th 2011 03:42
In just a few short years, the fascinator has risen out of fashion obscurity to become costume de rigueur for posh daytime events. The problem with the fascinator is that it walks a tightrope between two more established pieces of headwear: it's not quite a hat, but it's not merely a hair accessory either. As such, it's a tricky piece to get looking just right, and many women have failed in the process.

Subliminal advertising? Or just sleep deprivation?

October 23rd 2011 08:04
You be the judge! I recently bought these two very cute dresses from Target for my four-month-old daughter to wear at some parties we'll be attending next month. At first, the design on each dress appeared to be a simple floral one, but on closer inspection I could see that the Target symbol was subtly displayed on both of the dresses... hidden (in plain sight) as the centre of the flowers. Could this be a case of subliminal advertising?

...or has the exhaustion of being a new mum simply gotten the better of me?

Lady Gaga goes makeup-free for Harper's Bazaar

September 8th 2011 02:50
What does Lady Gaga look like without makeup? Pretty damn amazing, if this Harper's Bazaar photo shoot is anything to go by! The singer is known for her unusual and often confronting getups (who could forget that dress made of raw meat?) but insists that regardless of what she looks like, she's always the same girl her fans know and love.
