Your Fave Fashion Items



Gracie, 27, Dress Me Pretty ♥

My trusty Havaianas that stick with me through thick and thin, my killer engagement & wedding rings - a testament of hubby's true love for me, my bangin' bling Jaegar Le Coultre pink croc leather watch, oversized sunnies - usually Chanel or Armani, & my Chanel bags - never go wrong with them :)











Angela, 26, Dress Me Pretty ♥

My dog Tiffany - the best accessory of all, my pink breast cancer GHD - not only am I supporting a worthy cause but it also stops my hair from being a fuzz ball, my Blackberry complete with diamante sparkles, Voluspa & Glasshouse candles, and my Hermes Bracelet!

1. Black Dr Denim skinny jeans - the only jeans that are skinny AND long enough for me. High-ish waisted with silver zips on back pockets. Scandinavian jeans perfection!
2. My swallow necklace
- it's a very simple outline of a swallow, in black, on a plain black thread chain which you can adjust. My most versatile piece of jewellery, and people always comment on it.
3. Bensimon funnel-neck duffle coat
- birthday present from hubby, for trip to London/Paris/New York last Autumn. Warmest thing I own!!
