Nov 1st- the floral 50's styling





The first day of mofashinista's movember has been a great success already. We are wearing our first dress, a fifties syle floral number, white with full blown pink and grey roses, including full grey net skirt. white beaded cardy (damn Melbourne weather) accessioned by pink bangles. black peep toe stilettos, black vintage bag. Off to camberwell market early for coffee with friends, then hitting the stalls.

Clearly a successful outfit cause Miss lola and i were photographed by a professional photographer for a new on line mag!

Check it out: http://www.xandymagazine.com.au/ first edition is out today.

Also we had our first donation of a brilliant $50 great start. Well it's only lunchtime so where can our day go from here? We have heard that miss tina is rocking a blue dress with purple heels to afternoon tea at the Windsor, personally i have to go to work for a while....still looking fab of course.

In more news today we have a lovely guest post from Miss Tina on her day.....

'Well to kick off my month of dresses, I spent a very girly morning preparing to wear this dress, and then an even girlier afternoon having high tea at the Windsor for my gorgeous sister-in-law’s hen’s party. It was very therapeutic being in a room full of fabulous women of all ages. It was also a celebration of my fabulous brother and their very special love story. Awww… Now I really want to get some jeans on. Can’t believe I have to wear this all day. All for a good cause. Ahem!! Sponsor me – this is hard work…'
You look beautiful babe....and in case u didn't notice her shoes are purple. I'm off now to clean up a bit and think about tomorrows dress. See you tomorrow

one more sleeps


Hi all as you know tomorrow is Sunday first of Movember........first day of the mofashionista challenge to raise money in suppore of men's health issues. we here @ mofashionista headquaters are sooo excited. I have sorted through my wardrobe and put a special section aside to choose from for the whole month. So no pants, jumpers, t-shirts, jeans or even skirts for me, or Tina until December.

mofashionista...the beginning


For the past few years my partner has been a great supporter of Movember, raising both money for research and awareness of men's health issues, particulary prostate cancer and depression. In case you haven't hear of it it's a great idea started by a couple of guys in Melbourne, Australia.
So this year a i wanted to do more. What could girls do to help our men out?
After much thought and inspiration from another mo sista the idea of mofashionista was born.
So what is it? the challenge is to wear nothing but dresses for the month of November, and as an added clause it has to be a different dress each day. (Also, no jeans, or leggings under dresses.) So i set myself the challenge to support my lovely partner Jus and to spread the word amongst the sisters. Along the way my brilliant, gorgeous friend Tina has agrees to accept the challenge also.
So this is it girls - the two of us will be gorgeous fashionistas all movember and hopefully lots of our lovely friends, family and anyone else reading along will support the cause financially and in spirit.
I will be blogging our progress (hopefully daily) and posting photos of the dresses.

Tomorrow i will post our team details and how you can contribute financially...but for now check out the details of the movember site http://au.movember.com/

and just in case you were wondering, my outfit today...jeans and black T...for the last time till Dec. Mo love to you all
