shhh, i'm watching OffSpring . . .

Greetings all,

Oh Asher Keddie, i'll never get enough of your natural radiance.  She is so well put-together on television in OffSpring, her dressing team should win their own Logie Award.  It's high end clobber, mixed with vintage finds & her delicious complexion . . . i've already posted on this before & how my 3rd girl effortlessly pulls off Nina Style glam. 

 I haven't purchased the Woman Weekly magazine for years, i live by their 1960's cook book, but put Asher on your cover wearing Kate Sylvester (a mummy of twins, did you know??) your magazine will leap into my trolley at the supermarket.

 The cover line of 'i don't need babies to be a success' wasn't even a paragraph in the 7 page article.  Was that meant to rock the mummy reading demographic of WW??  I applaud anyone who chooses not to have children, she hasn't even ruled it out (she's 37, married 4 years) & really, is it our business?? 

 Like Princess Mary, some girls just have a figure & colouring which makes the delicate lace gleam with perfection.  I love a belted feminine ensemble.

 These are her horses (she has 5) on her property in Victoria's Macedon Ranges. 

Anyway, i knew OffSpring was on tonight, but seriously, 4 nights this week at 9.30p.m. i'm VERY excited.  I don't even care if they are repeat episodes, that means handsome & steamy Dr Chris, yay!!  My children are asleep, my husband doesn't normally call around this time, Nina can keep me company.  Enjoy & happy viewing, love Posie

the new fashion . . . "Nina Style"

Greetings all,

I was discussing fashion & how my children dress, with a client.  I've never had an issue with dressing my 'tweens', all that awful gear with vampire slasher, studs, sequins, rips or slogans - don't get me started on black, well my guys don't like it (yay).  I explained how my children love layers, colours, accessories & their own twist on style, my client said "oh, Nina Style".  I knew exactly what she meant - Dr Nina Proudman from Offspring, that quirky obstetrician on television, she knows her whimsical style & wears it well.  Also helps that actor Asher Keddie is rather pretty, slim & has a complexion which suits any colour, texture & style!!   

When i was a young girl, i would wear jeans, Tshirt, Converse then hope & pray no one noticed me.  I wasn't shy, just not fashion confident, accessory-less & my mummy, she wore 'house dresses'. . . say no more!!  I loved fashion & lived in the pages of Vogue & Cosmo, but it wasn't until i was an adult i actually got into it.  

I might not have a great figure anymore, but i do like good quality & classic styling.  I don't mind investing in good clothes for my 4 children either, especially the 3 girls who can share (of course they will continue to love sharing clothes when they are teenagers) & so much can be handed down to their little brother (jeans, Tshirts, the odd jacket & shoes).

I rarely buy anything full price, case in point: Seed beanie $22.50; Country Road Jeans $20; Seed scarf $15; Esprit denim vest $15; Country Road top $12.50; Country Road boots $55 - see, all seriously reduced from RRP, as you know, "another 25% off reduced prices" is my bat signal to go shopping.

 On Sunday afternoon i had to duck out to get milk & this is what girl child number 3 just threw together.  Nina likes a bit of cropped denim & vests, always layer, it's the rules!!

 I picked up these denim pieces from Esprit on the weekend - went in to get middle daughter a new puffy Winter coat & . . . i came out with a new Winter puffy coat . . . + denim vest, denim jacket & 4 Tshirts, anyway, this super cute denim jacket with capped sleeves was $22.50, are you kidding me??  That's 25% of the original price!!

 While google'ing images of Nina's style, i was so sad to read Don Hany (mmmm Dr Chris Havel) is listed as "past cast member" noooo, does that mean he's never coming back??  Also, that episode where her sister was getting rid of all her owls because they were unsexy, whhhhhaaattt??

 Ooppss, accidentally found an image of Dr Chris.

 Nina's family style.

Lots more images of Nina here - what is with a television character having it's own FaceBook page??  Anyway, i don't understand FB, this just confirms it.
We're still at school this week in Canberra, Friday is Snow Day - a plain clothes day where you come in your snow gear (hello, that is normal plain clothes in Winter!!)  I'll be sure to post what my guys wear to school to rock their style on Friday!!  Love Posie
