Well, its been a while since I last had a rant, but today will just be a gush I'm afraid - about Paris.
Paris, the city not that skanky trashy beeeatch, oops I digress...
Oh magical city of the Eiffel Tower, L'arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysees, Rodin, Musee d'Orsay..I could bang on forever but I won't.
I will, however have a bit of a blab about how fabulous the clothes and style of Parisians are.
I recently spent many a happy afternoon sipping a cafe au lait (albeit completely arsey coffee - the French may have baguettes, desserts and clothes down, but I am sorry, their coffee is piew!) watching the fashion parade of sophisticated, elegant, uncomplicated and beautifully dressed Parisians walking past. The most common look was a great pair of skinny jeans with ballet flats and a swanky scarf - and it looked lovely. I want!
So I have set my mind to gathering a wardrobe of classic, timeless pieces - and thanks to Christine in Flinders Lane, Melbourne, I am well on my way.
She is a legend in Melbourne for stocking all types brands from Lanvin, Vivienne Westwood, Longchamps and Sonia Rykiel to other lesser known but high quality brands - and she is having a sale right now. I bought some fabulous patent and satin black Lanvin ballet flats at under half price, and a few other beautiful pieces - an Anya Hindmarch brown suede clutch to name one of my treasures. The range of clothes, shoes, bags and accessories is amazing and addictive to look at. My advice? Get in quick because the sale ends on Saturday.
My next quest is a tuxedo style jacket and a smart blazer - for both work and play..ooh la la!

So I was reading an article the other week in which men complained bitterly about how women are emasculating them and forcing them to live in their world and abide by their rules, including the whole metrosexual movement.
Hhmm... last time I checked, men were still getting paid more than women, still getting promoted above women, still doing sweet F.A at home whilst their super human wives/girlfriends/significant other worked as much as they did (for less money of course), raised the children, studied part time AND cleaned and cooked! Then they also go to the gym, colour their hair, wear make-up and generally look after themselves (including the horrendous pain of waxing every nook and cranny) and men have the nerve to have a sook about it being a woman's world?!?!? Hello?!?
Women have been taken for a total ride - here you go ladies, embrace feminism, get the vote, work, but also add on exactly what you were doing in the home before you had a career, and lucky you, we will shove a whole lot of fashion magazines and celebrity crap in front of you so that you feel inadequate that you don't look like a goddess 24/7 (without the aid of a personal trainer, chef, stylist and nanny). See? Aren't you so glad its a woman's world? What a load of bollocks!
It is still a man's world, and if they think we are stupid enough to swallow the "wahh waah its a woman's world and I am so hard done by because I have to wax my chest" act, then they have another think coming!!
Oh, and which woman ever said that they thought the metrosexual movement was attractive?!? EEEEEWWWW - any man who buys into that is clearly stupid and has no sense of what is appealing to the opposite sex. I, and all of my girlfriend's, do not want a man who waxes their eyebrows (though mono brow extermination is appropriate), wears make-up and spends more time on their hair than we do. Gross! Leave it to the gay men, boys! All we want is a high standard of personal hygiene (i.e. have a shower, shave and put on deodorant and clean clothes, sexy aftershave is also good) a bit of style (no grey, velcro shoes please) and an egalitarian attitude towards household chores. Its not too much to ask is it??

So as I mentioned, I am getting into this whole investment wardrobe thing and on my journey of discovery of all things fashion, I have become obsessed with cashmere.
Cashmere dresses, cashmere coats, cashmere pants, cashmere cardigans, cashmere pashminas, cashmere sweaters, cashmere hoodies - you name it, I have drooled over it.
Hell, I think I would even get a little hot and heavy over cashmere earrings if such a thing existed or if it wasn't quite so ridiculous and pointless.
but back to the non-ridiculous cashmere...
I really urge you all to put a little cashmere into your life - it is so soft, so luxurious, so much better and warmer than wool and contrary to a few opinions, it doesn't itch. Now, I am a purist, so I am a 100% cashmere girl. There are some lovely silk/cashmere blends out there, but just quietly I think they are the itchy garments that people are referring too.
Now some of you may say, well Miss Rabbit cashmere is all very lovely, but isn't it expensive? The short answer my dumplings is yes, it can be. BUT the savvy little bargain hunter in me has trawled the internet and a few select shops and found some absolute steals.
Firstly, if you live in Melbourne, get your (soon to be soft and caressed) butt down to 8 Inkerman (go on, guess the address!!) in St Kilda. They have a fantastic range of contemporary styles - from sparkly embellishments on their sweaters to the most sexy, stylish and clingy cashmere dresses, AND they are having a sale at the moment.
Secondly, there is a fantastic website called www.shesellssanctuary.com.au that sells the most lovely and reasonably priced cashmere drawstring pants with tank top set, and it comes in a cute little cashmere bag AND they gift wrap it up all cute 'n stuff AND they are super speedy with the delivery.
If you have more cash to splash, you can try House of Cashmere in Collins Street (there's a store in Sydney too)- very expensive but they are having a sale on their coats at the moment, which trust me, are heaven - and an investment.
I must admit, I am very pleased with myself for getting into this cashmere yoke - I am all for the quality fabrics and long lasting items. And, I am feeling rather smug that the fashion magazines have started featuring a bit of cashmere - ooh am I 'on trend'??? I just come over all a-giggly just thinking about it.
I just wish it would get colder so that i can wear the damn things!
P.S Tell me if you have found any super cashmere bargains - I'd love to hear about it

So, in my last post I referred to my new co-obsession to buying useless fashion magazines, and that is - painstakingly putting together an investment wardrobe.
After years of detesting shopping, I am now beginning to understand why some (dare I say most) women are nuts about it (though I used to think nuts for enjoying it

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, New Year and all that stuff.
I thought I'd start off the year with a good old fashioned rant.
This time its about shopping. Any kind of shopping that involves face-to face contact that is

I have been noticing another disturbing trend lately - overweight people in denial.
I have all the sympathy in the world for people who struggle with their weight - but please be honest with yourself!
The main reason we get fat is because we eat too much and don't exercise enough. When you sit on your big fat butt watching t.v and stuffing your face with every conceivable item of edible food you can get your little sausage fingers on, of course you are going to put on weight! Thats what happens! We don't all have the metabolism of a whippet and those of us who claim to have only gotten that way by either 1. lying and not eating much of anything or 2. Actually eating healthily and exercising until their metabolism kicks along nicely

Can I just ask, what is with teenage girls and their idea of fashion?
Honestly, everyday I see these young girls around the place yabbering away to each other in the most irritating fashion (that's another rant waiting to happen), wearing, well, obviously they think its fashion, but news flash girls - its hideous

I'll have to say, I am a little annoyed with this whole plateau thing that happens when you are trying to lose weight.
I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) this year, some of the indicators being: excess weight that wont shift, bad skin, extra hairiness in places not previously hairy (cos being fat and pimply isn't enough you see, we must make you like an ape-woman say the PCOS monsters), pre-diabetic or diabetic, fertility problems, irregular periods and of course cysts on your ovaries. Oh, and it can also lead to various types of cancer, so yay me

I heard a story about a guy who was 'really into the environment' and traveled around the world competing in marathon's and doing everything to 'reduce his carbon-footprint'. For example, re-using his nipple bandaids - firstly eeew, and secondly how is this helping at all? And the kicker? He traveled around the world to his races via plane. Yep, good job there.
