Frocking thanks

Photos by @urbanjin & Mr Bug

The month of frocking up and daily blogging is well and truly over for another year and I wanted to send a belated thank you to everyone for their support. 

With your help I was able to raise a total of $1,754.65 for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation. The tally reached by Frockettes all over the country was a whopping $120,000+ (woo hoo! *high five*).

The sad fact remains that 1200 Australian women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer every year. With most diagnosed in the late stage, early detection is the key to changing the statistics. If you would like to know more about the Foundation and their work, please visit: http://www.ocrf.com.au/

Stay tuned for non-frock blog posts soon :-)

Halloween Frocktober finale

I made it! Frocktober comes to a close and I'm super excited with all the donations that came rolling in today. And what a lovely pic to end on. Some random kid walked and happily joined in the pose. ♥

What I wore today: printed mini-dress (Tina Kalivas from Alice Euphemia), black leggings and black patent wedge boots.

I'm expecting a few donations to come in so I will make my $1500 target. A big thanks to everyone who made a donation over the past month; and especially those who donated today - Tamar, Ita, Alex, Tamir, Cheryl and a whopper donation from Anna. w00t!! It's not too late to donate so if you want to support a worthy cause - Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation, click the link below: http://www.everydayhero.com.au/girlbug. 

I hope you loved the frock pics over the last month. I've had a few contributors but my main stylist/photographer has been @urbanjin. She has done a wonderful job (pho date payment is coming soon). 

The City of Boorandara also rates a mentions.While I loathe your parking inspectors with an undyng passion, I'm surprised by the various locales I've managed to find in such close vicintiy of my work. *snaps* to you.

Au revoir Frocktober!! Bonjour Movember.

Merci beaucoup.

Last Frocktober Weekend Celebration ♥♥

Woo hoo! Last days of Frocktober!! What a blissful weekend. Sudoku, reading, some chores, dining, TV watching, kitty cuddles and pizza making with my ♥ Mr Bug. We also had the most delicious brunch date with @marcusmoments and @starinmelbourne. Do yourself a favour and head to Chez Dre. Best. Breakfast. Platter!

What I wore Sunday: black dress, black leggings, riding boots, black long sleeve top, brown belt, coat and hat. Winter decided to pay us another visit so basically I was trying to keep warm on a cold Melbourne day.

What I wore Saturday: Grey jacket, black and white tee, denim skirt and pink shoes. Mr Bug also bought me this cute bag for my golf clubs so now I can accessorize when going to the driving range. ;-)

I'm now at $1175 so need a few more donations to get me home. You can make a donation to Frocktober for Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation, click on the link below and make a pledge: http://www.everydayhero.com.au/girlbug.

Before the rains came...

Today was super windy and super muggy. Perfect for a work BBQ. Now the thunderstorm has hit and I'm holding fort at my desk while it settles. Three cheers for the weekend!!!

What I wore today: blue silk dress (Espirit), gold ballet shoes and a shawl. My Steve Nicks inspired look.

Big thanks go out to Mel, Ana, Amanda and the Joliff clan for their donations. Super star status goes out to Emma who organised an afternoon tea with her colleagues at ANZ. Thanks guys!!

Last Frocktober hump day

And wasn't it a tough day for fashion. I tried on 3 dresses before I settled on this gorgous Leona Edmiston leopard dress. Unfortunately another couple of dresses have been culled from wardrobe due to a weight gain over the past year (trying to ignore this). But... Doh!! Gonna make the last few days very tough!

What I wore today: leopard dress (Leona Edmiston), black opaques, gold chain neckace (Bondi markets) and black pumps.
