Skylark and Son: White Out
http://skylarkandson.blogspot.com/2013/09/white-out.html
Wednesday, September 18, 2013. There we are, white boots resplendent. I'm the one in pink. Gold Coast, 1987. The other day and then found myself falling down a rabbit hole of my own creation in the back blocks of my blog. It's funny reading old posts, it's a bit like visiting a distant cousin, someone who's sort of familiar, but also basically a stranger. Like, who on earth is this chick? Just who are these two fresh-faced young people? That wedding picture is really beautiful. Sophie x. I also had white...

Thursday, August 16, 2012. Sass and Bide warehouse sale pants, Emily and Leo metallic top, Romance Was Born bag, Camberwell markets kimono thing, Shag earrings, Elke bracelet, nike trainers. Reasons most people appear on the Huffington Post. Nobel Prize win for discovering new sub-atomic particles etc. Significant groundbreaking contributions to society. Whistleblowing, regime-shaking dissident action. Involvement in tawdry political sex scandal. Appeared on the Huff Po. I wore some sneakers. Here is an ...

Skylark and Son: November 2011
http://skylarkandson.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 7, 2011. Navy silk Morrissey shirt - $10 op-shop. Mng brocade pencil skirt - $10 op-shop. Patent leather mutant platform loafer maryjanes - $50 Wittner sale. Navy flower stud earrings - $15 Mimco sale (reduced from $59.95). Double buttons valiantly battling "the gape". Isn't it just like a disco cork tile? Need to listen to hip-hop on my iPod as I strap-hang along St Kilda Road. Don't ask me why, it has ever been thus. Just call me Herbert Kornfeld. I've got 99 problems. Apologies for th...

Skylark and Son: Sweetie Honey Baby
http://skylarkandson.blogspot.com/2013/09/sweetie-honey-baby.html
Monday, September 16, 2013. Today's entrant in the Cavalcade of Things. Is this beigey lace early sixties frock, bought from the Sacred Heart op-shop in St Kilda for thirty five exorbitant dollars. That's vintage markets prices (note, still well shy of vintage shop. It's hard to begrudge the Sacred Heart Mission. There was a whole pile of other vintage dresses there, but they were all too large and frumptacular for me to have further dealings with them. There were a couple of forties dresses which we...

http://skylarkandson.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 22, 2011. It's an oldie, but a (seasonally appropriate) goodie, from Elf Headquarters to you:. Merry Christmas with love from Skye and the little dude. PS And 2011, you can show yourself out. Links to this post. Thursday, December 15, 2011. Vintage handmade smock dress - $6 op-shop. Cobalt blue aviators - $1 op-shop. Jelly sandals - $48 FAT. These make me feel like I am in Grade 2. Not a bad feeling for someone turning 40 in a mere(kat) TWO WEEKS. I want volumes, lady, volumes! This is...

Skylark and Son: Shiny Shiny
http://skylarkandson.blogspot.com/2013/09/shiny-shiny.html
Tuesday, September 17, 2013. Do you think that by calling my post Shiny Shiny I'll invoke the spirit of Haysi Fantayzee. Like saying Candyman three times or whatever it is? Once I hit publish they'll suddenly appear in my kitchen capering and cavorting and being very, very annoying (yet strangely loveable, in retrospect)? I bumped into Kate Garner in Mumbai a few years ago, still bloody gorgeous! September 17, 2013 at 5:46 AM. Suzanne Carillo Style Files. September 17, 2013 at 7:57 AM. I have a shiny dam...

Skylark and Son: January 2012
http://skylarkandson.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 26, 2012. I'm going to pull the blog down for a bit, just as the little dude is starting school, and I'm weighing up whether the blog can (or should) continue in this form now that he is going to have a life outside our little nest. So it's not a goodbye, just a goodbye for the minute (I think, anyway). Links to this post. Tuesday, January 24, 2012. From the first Ned Kelly series by Sidney Nolan. Your money or your life! Or should that be Happy New Year? Version of Ned Kelly. All Cats ...

Skylark and Son: The Borat
http://skylarkandson.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-borat.html
Friday, September 13, 2013. Something we don't get on the Goldy, but do get in the big city, is sample sales. I have a bit of a chequered history. She tried on the black version of that white swimsuit up there with the tiger zips, and it was eye-poppingly great on her. She kept laughing about it and telling her friend it was " a total Borat. Zimmermann swimsuits, $70 each, warehouse sale. Original rrp well north of $300 each. I love both of them, the ruffled one would look amazing under a skirt or shorts...
