Rachael's Favourite Things

Its going to be a hot December if the last few days are any indicator. I am not auditioning to be a weather gal, just getting cross at myself for a sun burnt back. It was in the name of fashion.

My face however I can smugly say has no lines or wrinkles and my freckles have faded. Thanks to this and some other chemicals.....

Elle Macpherson. I. Salute. You. (And not the sun.)

Rachael's Favourite Things

In honour of Ms Winfrey being down under at the moment I am channelling one of my favourite yearly episodes into blog form. I'm not sure if that sentence makes sense or not.

So with fanfare here is the first of my Favourite Things for 2010.

These trousers may be a gift from god. I have bad pins. Veins, fat knees, white legs.

I love dresses but they can't really be worn without a spray tan to hide the above. Skirts same issue. Sick of maxi dresses really. This summer I have been embracing the slouchy pant. Just as comfortable as pyjamas. Happy days.

Why I love Christmas - Part two

I have started to think about my Christmas Day outfit. I have been thinking about it since I saw a dress about 8 weeks ago.

Now a Christmas day outfit can be tricky. For instance you don't want to be to obvious with your colour choices. You don't want to clash with any Christmas tree decor in a family photo. You might need a practical outfit if you are the host and required to coordinate with an apron. You may have to dress for more than one function. Or you could need a selection of outfits appropriate for the different family gatherings. That's another blog though really. How to dress for multiple Family Christmas parties in one day. Next year....I won't let you down.

I have found the perfect dress. Neutral colour, beautiful detail, venue appropriate and feels festive without going OTT. A winner!

Last year I tried to get my family to wear black tie. I told my husband and he said he would have to try on his tux. Bless him. He's pretty gullible. That's why I love him.
Just sayin'.
