Last Friday night was the annual Miss Pole Dance Australia Championships. Being the avid pole-geek that I am (three years now and counting) I was in attendance, not only to check out the talent (both dancing and fashion) but to cheer on one of my classmates, the divine Miss Kel.

At any pole event you are guaranteed to see some exceptional shoes in the room - the fact the sport requires six inch heels tends to attract those with significant footwear festishes! I chose to wear some fantastic platform brogues which are as painful as they are gorgeous (A big thank you to my globe-trotting sister and her ability to continually buy shoes too small for her.....but OK for me).

This is my first attempt at a blog shot and I've got to be honest, I need to work on it! I'm heading over to fashion toast now to see how Rumi manages to look so damn good. If those of you more accomplished posers have any tips I'd love to hear them....

Greetings and Salutations...


So this is my first post.

I’m not sure if many people will be reading it but if you are, a big "Hello" and thanks for jumping on the bandwagon.

This blog was inspired by two fabulously stylish and already highly-regarded bloggers - L.A bohemian Rumi (Fashion Toast) and Brit hipster Kirsty (Thats Just My Vibe). I've poured over their pages for a while now and love their unabashed dedication to personal style.

"For Love Not Money" sums up my view of fashion - it doesn't matter how much it cost, it only matters how much you adore it. My wardrobe is a mish mash of (relatively) expensive labels, chain store jems, vintage lovelies and DIY projects.

Love it or hate it, I hope you stick around......
