Track pants on the dance floor, remind me baby of you...

Maybe not...that was actually meant to be footsteps on the dance floor, as you Womack and Womack lovers would have noted....   Back to the topic, which is of course track pants!  We all love to hate them, but I'm sure most of us have one pair hiding in the wardrobe.  My new purchase recently from Country Road although buying a slightly too large a size, are exteremly comfortable and I've worn them mainly with my ski high platform sandals a shirt and leather jacket both to work and out on the town.  Why should track pants be pigeon holed as 'slothing-around-the-house' get up when you can rock these any time or place - of course ensuring that you wear the appropriate footwear.  (The second image below is one of the colour options of the Country Road style I've mentioned).

Purple Fashion Magazine 2010

This fantastic French glossy is a must have, with only 2 issues a year this magazine is top end.  Impeccable photography and amazingly presented this is a mag that will take me a good few weeks to read!  And no, not because I'm a slow reader but because it's quite beefy and it's always time consuming obsessing over all the great fashion pics!  Thanks to my lovely BF for a gift that was spot on.

Top Shop is coming to NZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 nearly fell off my chair off my chair when I heard this!!  Very exciting news and was wondering when this was going to happen!  Lets hope it's not like the Sydney version.  In any case great news!   http://www.topshop.com/

Designer shoes for winter

Now that winter is creeping upon us, it's time to start thinking about what the wardrobe holds for our lovely feet.  Kathryn Wilson, New Zealand footwear designer has created a winter collection combining a rock-influence with touches of sequins, zips and chains to add that little bit of zoosh.  I think its high time I invested in a pair! http://www.kathrynwilson.com/ 

A taste of Africa

Just what you need towards the end of summer, some African print to shake up your wardrobe.  Vibrant colours and bold designs in the form of harem pants, dresses and jumpsuits, it seems to work on all pieces from top to toe.  If you want to make a statement then these are what you're after.   Just take a look at ASOS you'll also help support the trade in Africa.
