As I’ve previously blogged, I love a female rock n roll icon. After months of waiting I finally have just heard the new PJ Harvey album and I have to say it was even better than I expected!!! Musically she has created yet another new sound for herself, lyrically again so poetic and so clever; so poignant to everything in the world right now.

FANCY DRESS!
Posted on
Last week I got to play dress up to attend a glamorous YSL event at the Town Hall in Sydney. When I received the invite it took me back to 1987 where I attended a YSL retrospective with my Mum at the AGNSW, paying homage to the fashion achievements of this extraordinary designer.

Brigitte Bardot
This week I’ve been thinking about all the women in the world that have inspired my personal sense of style and how I choose to dress myself today.
One lady in particular is French 50s and 60s siren Brigitte Bardot, oh so French and oh so chic!

RECYCLED CLOTHING IS THE NEW BLACK!
Posted on
Well here in Sydney it’s been one hot month!! There’s no sign of a change in season as yet. Plants are confused whether they should be flowering or losing their leaves, the kids keep asking me if it’s still summer; and to be honest, I’m dying to wear a fab new jacket I purchased. I’ve been crossing all my fingers for some respite from the heat to give it a run!!
THE LENGTHS WE GO TO!!
Posted on
At the moment in fashion anything goes really. Watching the trends from all the recent fashion weeks around the globe, it feels more like a taste-maker than a dictation as to what you choose as your ‘look’ for the next season.
The conundrum for many women is what length you should go to when shopping for your next dress or skirt? What is age-appropriate, what works on your shape, what will you glow in???
CRAMMING FOR THE OSCARS!!

"This is one night I wish I smoked and drank."
Grace Kelly, Best Actress, Academy Awards, 1955
Well yet again The Oscars are upon us, and I’ve been trying to fit in some movie time so when watching the glamour of it all next week I have an idea as to why so many fabulous people and movies have been nominated! With kids a little older now its easier to be more in tune; previous years I’ve been up on all the animation nominees and G movies only!
GREAT LOOKS ON AND OFF THE RUNWAY

Pop Culture Alert!!! Zoolander 2 is out tomorrow and I just can’t wait!!
It’s fantastic to have fun with fashion, and I love the tongue in cheek poke at the sometimes pretentious industry. It’s a great reminder that fashion is about feeling good in what you wear, you’re not saving lives when you get up and get dressed in the morning!!

It seems at the moment in Australia there is music going on everywhere. When you look around town some of the worlds hottest acts are touring, and local fav’s out and about playing shows. It’s so great to see so much demand for live acts, as music venues in Sydney anyway have become less and less and less…

‘There's a long life ahead of you and it's going to be beautiful, as long as you keep loving and hugging each other.’

Free Spirit Style
Half the fun of going to festivals is planning what you're going to wear. AM I RIGHT?!
Whenever I'm channeling my inner boho babe I always start with a flirty summer dress. They're easy, breezy and always in style. Then, from there you can get really creative and layer more flamboyant pieces. We have a ton of perfect little festival dresses over at aceyacey.com.au

-David Bowie, Fashion, 1980
A few weeks back I was in Melbourne for a music event and took the opportunity to explore the David Bowie Exhibition at ACME. It was a fantastic journey through Bowie’s career in music, and the visual tie ins with fashion that created the mystique behind Bowie’ genius.

My sons Paris August 2015
The entire world and indeed myself mourn the deaths of the innocent in the recent senseless killing of so many in Paris. With more and more coming to light in the aftermath of the terror attacks, one can only hope that the world might one day again continue to live with the joy and freedom we have the right to as human beings.

‘I want to be Barbie, the bitch has everything’

I had a massive collection of Barbie dolls growing up. I had every type of Barbie; Malibu Barbie, Superstar Barbie, plus the caravan, pool, horse, Ken doll and many other Barbie accessories. She was my muse like millions of others , even Andy Warhol payed homage to the queen of the dolls. This is definitely where I started to develop a real interest in the art of fashion

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND

A few days back I went to see the legendary Fleetwood Mac in concert, full band lineup front and centre. It was truly one of the best shows I’ve seen! I couldn’t get over how amazing they were musically, hit after hit just kept coming, and they looked incredible!! Stevie now 67, Christine McVie who came back to the band after 16 years 73, still so stylish, fit and loving life!
