My Gasoline Rainbow

It's a super cold Monday on the Coast and a big week in the Get it Magazine office working on the August issue. I picked up this vintage sequin jacket a while ago for only $10 from Salvos and absolutely love it. I rarely can wear jackets because I have a very high body temperature which is why you always see me in singlets and tees (an interesting fact for you) so to be able to wear this gorgeous number is music to my stylists body lol

It's a beautiful Friday morning so i've headed down to the Broadwater before a busy day of organising interviews for MBFF in Brisbane at the end of August. I'm wearing a skirt I picked up at a garage sale a couple of weeks ago. I love it because of the light cotton fabric and cute houses mixed with the grey and bright colours. Perfect in time for Spring. The clutch is another op shop bargain, made of flax. Surprisingly large it fits everything in it including my wallet, camera, Blackberry and notepad and pen, plus my lipgloss. My earrings,rings and bangles are all vintage from my mum's teenage years. And as you can see I've pulled the green from the skirt in with the green in one of the rings. I love mixing up my outfit with those personal touches.

On Sunday I helped my girlfriend Robbie with her first stall at the Burleigh Beach Art & Craft Markets selling her amazing Madison & Montana soy candles. An incredibly successful day for her, we had so much fun and look how amazing her stall is!!

Saturday, my girlfriend Robbie, who is the designer behind Madison & Montana Soy Candle Co. got up at the crack of dawn to hit the garage sales to see what bargains we could grab!  With the success of shows like American Pickers and Picker Sisters, we were inspired to create our stories at home and with our businesses with pre-loved treasures. I also grabbed a brand new set of Remington heated hair rollers for $6 - best find of the day!!! I set a budget of $50 for the day and below is just a few of the amazing pieces  I found... I fell in love with this hand painted fan $10 and pastel pink ocean portrait $2 This small dressing screen was so unusual I had to have it $5 and this gorgeous porcelain container is stunning $2  I got two of these stools for $5 for both and this box for $2 This sterling silver butter dish, tray and bottles were all $4.50 This cushion cover was brand new and actually has a fur texture $1 Robbie all loaded up ...

Apparently lace is back. I've always been of the belief there is a fine line between looking matronly and like a lady of the night with lace but when then I found this gorgeous little frock. Pretty in Pink x Earrings:: Colette Accessories Dress:: Kmart Clutch:: Vintage Heels:: Emerson for Big W

Got some great bargains again on my weekly hunt. This amazing neon sequin jacket and this cute retro ice bucket!

Coco Chanel was a revolutionary in the fashion industry. Stylish, sophisticated and always feminine. Her clothing always eminated class and elegance. Yesterday during my weekly op shop I found this incredible black and white leopard print blazer (wait for it, it was $2) and mixed with a black swing dress and bright heels I feel like I could take on the world! Mixing trends, Mixing new, Mixing high end. Just do it! LUXE FOR LESS Necklace:: Chanel Jacket:: Animal Welfare League Dress: Supre Heels:: Emerson for Big W

When metallic pants first came to trend I instantly fell in love. Zara, Michael Kors and Rag & Bone all brought out their version of party gold jeans, but being a curvy gal my first thoughts were that a) I would be lucky to find a pair that would suit my figure and b) a pair that would be within my "Luxe for Less" concept ie under $100. I knew that if I did find a pair, I could totally pull them off. So when I came across these stunning gold metallic skinnies I thought all my Christmas's had come at once. Light stretch fabric, not too much shine and OH SO SEXY. Having a meeting with a magazine editor today, I wanted to look effortlessly fashionably stylish and when she commented on my jeans I knew I had a winner! Mixed with my new London Rebel leopard print platform heels to give me a bit of animalistic attitude and a vintage sequin jacket I picked up from Salvos for $15 I was feeling fit.
