The polo’s appearance in the paper probably has more to do with all the tennis going on in Australia at the moment than anything else but still, even for a moment, I was fashion forward.
Here I am having a Wardrobe 101 Moment. Minus the edgy catwalk hair, makeup, accesorizing and photography. Though that background of a wall of sunglasses does up the fashion ante a bit. I was trying to keep myself out of trouble whilst H was buying a new pair of sunnies.

Unfortunately, I didn’t quite accessorize it the way Glynis suggested in her article but I still felt preppy at Chatswood Chase. Glynis was exploring head bands and improbable skirts in her vision but for a day of errand running, you really can’t go past a denim skirt and a Bayswater. There’s something about the collar on a polo shirt that makes me feel like I mean business. In a leafy suburbs, perfumed steam roller and pearl studs kind of way.
Elsewhere in this week’s fashion agenda, it looks like April is going to be a big month.
Zara is to open in Sydney and William and Kate are getting married. Is it too early to be planning what to wear for William and Kate, I wonder? Would sapphire jewelry be less tragic than having morning tea served on William and Kate china? I think we need to discuss this in a calm and reasoned manner, readers. And isn’t Easter in there somewhere too? It’s going to be a big month.
(Canberra) City Girl was expressing concern about my not having visited or blogged about the highlights at Coles recently. (C)CG, to allay your fears, I paid Coles a visit this afternoon. I think it has been suffering in my absence. They had run out of Coles’ own brand of potting mix (it is the cheapest at $4 for a 30 litre bag and does a great job). Then, to top it all off, the free Vegemite mug was only available only with … Cheeseybite. The mug says Vegemite and it’s nearly Australia Day. I was this close to buying a jar of Vegemite to replace the Marmite but I think I’m going to hold out now. Until Vegemite gets included in the free mug offer.
Oh, I couldn’t resist. This is my new delete key. It made an excellent recovery after some minor Tweezerman surgery last night. It didn’t go all loopy with the anaesthetic by singing UB40 songs or dancing on a table top. Forgive me, I think that was me projecting.
I’m going to be enjoying my fully functioning keyboard this weekend. As well as a bit of pot plant repotting. I think the work office needs some soothing greenery.
And I’m going to catch up with Nigella.
I’m up the episode of Kitchen where Nigella mezzalunas supermarket milk chocolate for her brownies. Nigella always makes me smile. A perfect way to spend Friday evening.
