Truth be told, I’m quite fond of designer fashions.

Rumour has it, I’m not alone.

The sad thing is that my finances often have a little trouble keeping pace with my fancies.

I hear this condition is also not peculiar to just me.

So today I’ve set out to ease this dilemma a little, rounding up the most handsome (read: wonderfully stylish) collection of fashion essentials (read: those pieces that you weren’t aware you even needed until you saw them, and now can’t stop thinking about) that will also leave you with change from $200.

Something caught your eye?

Hi Inez,

I noticed the belt on your post recently about lace dresses.

How about a post on the ‘Essential Belts’?

I’d love to see your favourites in the mid price range.

Thanks,

Mrs. G.

Ask and you shall receive!

As we find ourselves yet again with Valentine’s Day upon us, you’ve probably noticed that seasonal spike in lingerie editorials.

Lovely, yes… but to my mind none of them are really tackling the big question…

Are You Wearing The Wrong Bra??

Indeed, many may have had this suspicion for some time. You know you’re supposed to get a proper fitting… but you just never seem to get around to it.

I’m here to tell you, you’re not alone (cue: knowing nods).

But I also have to admit that I know next to nothing about finding the right bra, so today I defer to a ‘bra expert’ – Marie Savvas, designer of the loveliest lingerie label, Palindrome, whose career in the  bra business spans more than two decades.

Dear Inez,

I stopped wearing earrings when my babies were small, so I missed the whole ear cuff trend.

Now my children are no longer tugging on my ears (and I’m going out at night more) I want to start wearing earrings again.

Am I too late for ear cuffs?

Or should I be looking at chandelier earrings for evenings now instead?

Love to hear your thoughts,
Nina

Hi Inez,

I’ve heard that gladiator sandals are big this summer.

Can you give me a 101 guide to the dos and don’ts of getting my gladiators on?

Georgie.
