"Occasion dressing was fundamental to a woman of Miss Fisher's status.
It was a point of etiquette to wear appropriate outfits for every occasion."
Every day is an occasion. I have never understood why people think otherwise. If you know me a little then you know I "occasion" dress A LOT.

I have been (making and) wearing these bags for a LONG time... and according to Vogue they are de rigueur (again). Just please don't call them [shudder] "fanny packs" or bum bags. THIS is a belt bag and it's called GlamOcean... inspired by the iridescent turquoise/aquamarine of Fiji waters...

I usually wake with a song in my head and this morning it was Luscious Jackson’s “Here". [play it LOUD]
When the negative zeitgeist affects even me (gasp!), my subconscious goes in to combat mode… “here I come, you can’t stop me now"… What I wore yesterday underlines this point.
As subtle as a battleship.

July is an awesome time for you to be planning your trip to Oman. Perhaps you're thinking of a stopover on your way to Europe?
