headband Diva dress Revival cuff & bracelet gifts bands souvenir from France bag Pianura Studio… I stole it from my mother shoes Target vintage clip-ons eBay
Most hardworking accessory or item of clothing in your workrobe? My black Target wedges, from the photo. I bought a bunch of vintage shoe clips to wear from eBay and they are the only plain black shoes I can dress up with the clips. So they certainly do the rounds but are ever so comfy!!
Favourite shops/brands/sites for workwear? Online, I love spending hours on Urbanoutfitters.com and eBay of course, never be scared to buy secondhand I say! Shop-wise I like Sportsgirl’s great ranges lately, Dangerfield for something edgier, and it’s always worth exploring hidden laneways for great boutiques that stock often one-off, handmade designer pieces.
Our favoured coffee source or lunch/dinner/drink venue (recommend as few or many as you’d like)? I’m a vegeterian and it often gets boring getting quick fixes through sushi or salad. I stumbled across the Soulfood Cafe ( 10 Equitable Lane CBD) and it has an AMAZING range of delicious, healthy and very affordable ( and generously portioned) food. Highly recommend for those looking for something satistfying, nutritious and very tasty!
*I’m always on the lookout for a transeasonal dress- team with a black knit or skivvy (that’s turtleneck for my american friends) and opaque tights (I’d even say fishnet – but really good quality ones) and you’ve a gorgeously preppy look for coffee around the corner.. but if you do add all this black, don’t forget a bit of coloured lippy or gloss to add some colour… oooh and you could pair with little gloves (like mittens or cropped golf-style ones) and a beret too if it’s really nippy..

I’ve found a great site for shoe clips – check out shoebling.com.au!
Congratulations on a great and much needed blog Cheryl. Vintage shoes clips are such a great idea to brighten up a pair of shoes – I am going to check out ebay now, thanks!
Matylda currently plays Mink on Home & Away (in case you didn’t realise!) Love her outfit, it’s amazing.
I didn’t realise, thanks for letting me know Briony! But I also do love her style and as soon as I have a sneaky spare minute, I’m gonna hop onto eBay to find me some vintage shoe clip-ons.. anyone else??
Hello!

Hi Carly, thanks for your message and the heads up! I do love Vogue and am so flattered that I made the forums – do they like BusinessChic?? I’d love your thoughts ladies & gents! xox
You are most welcome. I think Matylda’s outfit looks so cute. I just got a similar head band for my daughter from Diva last week. Apparently it is a must have hair accessory today. I think the shoe clip ons are such a great idea as well.
