Bebe Frocks

Yesterday was so disgustingly hot, and hearing people at my tram stop complain about it made it far worse. I swear that the temperature went up every time the girl next to me said "Can you BELIEVE it is 40 degrees?!!!?!!"

When I finally got off the tram I knew that I couldn't make it home without a breath of fresh air on the back of my neck so I waddled (no joke, chafing galore over here) into Target to buy a new bucket so that I could mop the floors at home (said bucket then became my icey cold foot bath that night) and to kill time I headed to the childrens wear department.
A part from looking at the Collette Dinnigan for The Australian Ballet stock I had never looked at Targets childrens wear but holy moly they had some cute stuff.

I ummed and ahhed over this dress but am so glad that I got it as it fast became my favourite purchase of the night.

I cant find it online but I know that it was under $25 with the matching bloomers, and they had 20% off childrens wear so that was a win.

I got all of these dresses in 12 months up I am pretty sure.


I plan on being matchy matchy with my daughter.
I figure that I can dress her up in cute dresses for family dinners, birthdays, church and the like until she is old enough to work out her own style and undoubtedly refuse to wear them.

I refused to wear anything but track suit pants after a certain age because the fabric was nice on my skin, according to my mum. Don't worry though, there were lots of frilly dresses to go around.

Same goes for this dress, cant find online but was under $20 and also came with matching bloomers with a ruffle butt which I didn’t take a photo of.


I was waving them around singing “Ruffle Butt, Ruffle Butt” and The Husband just watched on in slight amusement.

 

This is the Barberry party dress, and far cuter in real life than online. I wouldn’t even have looked at it twice online actually.

$18 is a steal I tell you.
I was so impressed with the quality of the kids clothes, definitely better than ladies wear if you ask me.

Navy Spot Party Dress - $18


The fabric on this isn’t a light cotton like the others, but it seems breathable and time will tell I suppose.

I see lots of frilly socks and mary janes in the little tackers future.

I saw some incredibly adorable sailor type outfits for boys which I was dying over also.

 

Paris With Love Dress $18.40

I didn’t see this in store, only online, but I have put two sizes on hold so that I can check them out tomorrow and see if I like them.
I cant help this addiction guys. At least I have stopped buying baby wear!!

Even The Husband got a kick out of looking at these when he got home and said that our steamer will be perfect for them, as he doesn't trust me with the iron - for good reason.

I think he quite fancys the idea of a little girl in a frilly dress haha. I just know she is going to be the carbon copy of him though, so she will need all the help in the Girly department that she can get!

2011 Brownlow Best Dressed

It's not as fun compiling a best dressed list. The funny captions don't come pouring out like verbal diarrhoea.

 Symone Demetriou

Symone looked beautiful. Whilst watching her being interviewed with Andrew, all I could look at was her bejweled bust feature. ‘twas glimmering like there was no tomorrow. I love the colour on her also. Good work Symone!

Guys I’m not sure how this girl made it on my best dressed list. She looks like a bedazzled bird.

I think that’s why I like her.

I'm not drunk, promise.

I almost feel like she is taking the piss, but I'm pretty sure she isn't.

Rosie Brooks

This reminds me of Kim Kardashians 2^nd wedding dress. I like it. I’m still surprised by how many bridalesque dresses there were though.

The embellishment on this is exactly what Kims was lacking...

 Lauren Poultar

What a ray of sunshine! I cannot flaw this at all. I love how the full length sleeves balance out the low cut neck and back. The colour is magnificent and really works with her. Her hair and make up is flawless.

 

 Anna Green

I did not see Anna on the blue carpet last night, and was surprised when I saw her photos this morning. She looks stunning. I love the dress, it is something different and very classy. She looks very statuesque in this gown.

I like that she is showing that you can wear a red dress to the Brownlows and not have to have everything on show.

 Nadia Coppolino

Jimmy Bartel you lucky, lucky bastard. He is a total cutie, but she is a goddess. She looks like she would eat him alive, and not stop to spit out the bones.

Seriously. Look at her.

The emerald hue was practically glowing. I want this dress.

For some reason she reminds me of Beyonce in these photos. Maybe the beowolf fierceness.

Having proclaimed her a Goddess, I might just add that she looks too thin for my personal likings.

 Haylea Cooney

A baby bump in a white dress? Beautiful!!!

A baby bump wins every time for me.

She looks radiant.

The dress is plain enough, and that is definitely working in her favor.

 Alex Davis

To me, Alex Davis rocked the crap out of that Versace dress. I love the nautical inspired-ness and it fit her body like a glove. Amaze. 2nd Best Dressed in the Mez Votes. Saying that, I didn’t like her bracelet choice.

Alex is stunning, is she a model? She is very Girl Next Door beauty.

Kylie Brown

I really like Kylie’s choice. I think the dress was very flattering on her, and a simple classic cut which can never do a woman wrong, no matter what her figure is like. I like her hair also.

There you have it, thoughts? Not many on the list this year.

If you got invited to the Brownlow the night before, what would you do? Would you wear something you already had or run otu and max your credit card??
