Under The Weather...

We are a fully sick bunch...

Well - we've got a cold and are feeling very pouty.

We're off to bed to recuperate...and browse the net for more fashionable steals.

If you're feeling low, we send you lots of 'get-well-soons'.

THIS WEEK AT THE SHOPS...

Snuggie Time!

What's not to love about this time of year?

The soft glow of scented candles begin to waft through the house.  A bowl of hot soup becomes the lunch choice de jour.  And spending Sundays rugged up with a great book on the window seat feels like heaven.

 While the sun may still be shining, the temperature Down Under has certainly dropped.

Save yourself the trouble of an allergy attack when you try to drag out last year's jumpers and jump online to make the most of the northern hemisphere sales.

One of The Look Lite's favourite shopping destinations 

has given us a lot to get smug about this Sunday. (Hooray for ASOS!)

{ASOS ringspun fluffy cardigan $76.50}

Be a Muppet for a day and wrap yourself in furry liquorice and relax.

{ASOS club L americana sweater $30.60}

Stars and stripes and warmth and joy and lazy days forever.

{ASOS fairisle pinafore dress $26.35}

Apres ski coming soon to a lounge room near you.

{ASOS glamourous stripe blanket cardigan $51.00}

Drape yourself in a blankie.  You've earned it this winter.

And lastly...

{ASOS premium lace jumper $44.20}

...stay pretty.

What To Wear To A Job Interview...?

The Look Lite loves the creative movers and shakers of the world, 

and creating dreamy wardrobe looks to match.

Landing a cool new job often requires you to shop your own closet 

- once you land the position feel free to cash in that first pay cheque 

and buy yourself a new signature piece...

But, until then, here are three looks to inspire success.

THE FASHION ASSISTANT

You need to go anywhere, do anything, and be ready for the impossible.

Look the part in the fashion uniform - BLACK.  This is also a great idea

for those of us on a budget.   Add a few great accessories to highlight 

 your stylish personality, without taking attention away from your talents.  

Like getting the right mocha, decaf, soy, triple shots.  Stat. 

THE FEATURES INTERN

You meet the deadlines.  You edit the copy.  Your business is words.

Your look is sharp.  Keep it tidy in a pencil skirt.  

Work the 'Secretary' vibe in heels and opaques.  A painterly blouse

brings out your girly side in the office - feel free to add a pussy bow for effect.

A la Maggie Gyllenhaal.  Just go easy on the overtime...

DEPUTY ART DIRECTOR

All of the work - none of the credit.

So let your outfit do the talking.

Be your own mood board - embrace colour blocking, scarves,

bright tights and layers.  Use your innate design skills to create

a walking masterpiece.  But always keep it office appropriate -

and ready to hit those Friday Night Drinks in style...

Slick in the City...with MIMCO

Mimco has become a must-have in all Aussie girls' jewellery boxes.

They have grown and expanded their gorgeous line to include fabulous footwear. 

And guess what?!

Yes - they're having a sale!!!!!

Get on it, Ladies!

Glamour Gadgets...

Chances are you are viewing this on an iPhone.  Or an iPad.  Or a laptop.

Technology has firmly taken it's place in our daily life.

And now it's time to accessorize the accessories.

1.  THE iPhone CASE

Keep your new best friend stylish and safe with its own little home.

A flash of leopard print or jump on the colour block trend

and you won't miss a call or fashion moment. 

{COLETTE snake iPhone case $2.97}

2. THE NOTEBOOK CASE

You can't go wrong with an ode to Chloe circa Stella McCartney.

Boost the horsepower of your browser

 and play up online in zippy pink.

The Makings Of A Perfect Afternoon...

{Image created via Polyvore}

Nailed It!

We have a confession to make.

We are addicted.

To a brilliant mani.

And what better way to incorporate the latest looks straight off the runway for a fraction of the price than indulging in a new colour every week. Or day, if the mood strikes...

YSL.  Smokey.  Romantic.  Paris.

If you're feeling fancy, try a french manicure with a splash of luxe.

{YSL Manucure Couture Colour Nail Polish Duo (Texture Effect) 

- # No. 3 Duo Griffe/De Sable $38.00}

Got the blues?  Highlight your hands with a pop of denim and a hint of sparkle.

Dress up a classic porcelain print and rock the hi/low glam angle.

{LANCOME Le Vernis Par L'Wren Scott - # 021 Le Gris L'Wren $15.00}

Chanel.  This is the perfect opportunity to embrace matchy-matchy.

You'll get all your ducks in a row with chic efficiency.  We know this from experience...

{CHANEL Nail Enamel - # 87 Flamme Rose $27.00}

Berry nice, indeed.  Be a little bit saucy and amp up the vamp factor - 

Red means GO!

{ESTEE LAUDER Pure Color Nail Lacquer - # 03 Enchanted Garnet $23.00}

cheap'n'chic

Add these to cart NOW.

Training Wheels...

OMG, it's SHOESDAY already!?   

Today The Look Lite dips it's toes into the world of the TRAINER.  

Oh, the Nineties.  

Thank you for two of your important contributions to the fashion world - 

Flannelette shirts (they're hot for this winter )

AND

Trainers (as a fashionable footwear choice)

Back then, we blamed The Spice Girls and 'beat boys'.

Now it's Isabel Marant and 'hipsters'.

NOTE TO SELVES: 

With the colder weather comes the need 

to keep moving.

  

And thanks to the kind world of fashion right now you can count those km's 

whether you're getting fit or just looking good doing your thing...
