Out with the old. In with the new!

  

The end of 2010 has finally come and gone. And with it, the end of a decade. What a year last year was. What a decade!

Thank you to all my loyal readers. Thank you to those who pop in for a quick read now and then. And, to those of you who are visiting for your very first time. It's such a boost knowing that you're there. You are what makes writing House of Turtle so much fun.

Now that 2011 is here - it's time for House of Turtle to clean out the wardrobe. Get a hair cut and put on a fabulous new outfit. So... with that in mind, I'm moving House of Turtle over to WordPress.

Subscribers, you can sign up to receive email on the new blog. For those of you with House of Turtle on your blog rolls or subscribed to RSS feeds, please update to http://houseofturtle.net - if you are subscribed to http://houseofturtle.com.au it will be automatically transferred.

Thanks again and get ready to enjoy a fabulous, fun, happy and prosperous New Year and decade.  

See you soon!

PS. Pic was taken at Riva, St Kilda on New Year's Day 2011. I'm wearing the super fabulous sass & bide Seasons of Change vest with The Innocent One tank. Very appropriate for 1/1/11 I thought. ;)  xox

Seasons Greetings from House of Turtle

This year I've received lots of cool Seasons Greetings via email. In the spirit of Christmas I thought I'd share a few of my favourites.

Merry Christmas all! Have a fabulous day with your loved ones, eat great food and drink till you laugh or cry. And, remember be true to your fabulous self and stay H-O-T always.

Down Yonder goes Yonder

 Alexa Chung wears the ever comfy Saltwater Sandals

 Friend of Mine Life on Mars rings

So excited, one of my fave stores on Malvern Road South Yarra, has branched out beyond the confines of regular retail hours and launched a brand spanking new online store!

If you're anything like me the urge to shop your favourite stores often hits at random times of the day or evening, like when reading Down Yonder's fabulous blog in the wee hours of the morning. So, an online store can help feed the addiction, fill up the wardrobe with H-O-T buys and rapidly deplete the bank account.

Even better, if you get your orders in before 23 December, you'll get them in time for Christmas. Woo hoo! for those of us stuck at work or those far away from Malvern Road.

Down Yonder first introduced us to the fabulous label Friend of Mine last year and also stock Saltwater Sandals (made famous by Alexa Chung and so comfy you'll never want to wear anything else), jewellery from Stolen Girlfriends Club and more.

Check it out now! I'm pining over the Friend of Mine Life on Mars rings.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, Down Yonder are even offering fashion advice for when you're a little unsure about mixing spots with leopard print - simply email them at downyonder@nausz.com ;)

In H-O-T news, I'll be posting pics soon from the sass & bide Christmas party in Melbourne. Fun night!

And, I'm finalising House of Turtle's new template and web home! Now that the year is coming to a close and we get ready to embrace new beginnings, it's time for a make over and some new energy for House of Turtle. Watch this space.

Trick or Treat?

How cool is this pic? Plus, the red-headed chick is the cuokie girl from last season of America's Next Top Model. She's great!

H-O-T Look: her name was glowla

Her name was glowla, she was a glam girl! Thanks to Benefit, she was a H-O-T girl.

Sorry, getting carried away. Anyway, check out the super fab, limited edition her name was glowla makeup kit from Benefit. Which will have you going from bland to glam in moments. 

Create a luminous glow with coral-pink cheeks, lush black lashes and shimmering eyes... all topped off with a passionate pink pout.

At $69, it's a steal, and perfect for slipping into your hand bag for the Spring Racing Carnival next week.

H-O-T Looks from the Caulfield Racing Carnival

Neutrals and bold purples seem to be the look of the moment for the races this year if these pics from the Caulfield Racing Carnival are anything to go by... though there also seems to be some sensible dressing to suit the weather conditions on the day. These ladies have taken on the glam look with satin fabrics and tailored draping.

Boys... Suit up and have some fun!

Despite precarious weather conditions last Saturday, 16 October, the Caulfield Cup led the racing carnival fashion stakes with the Chadstone Fashion Stakes Youthful Fashionistas competition.

This new addition to the fashion line up proved very popular with many great contenders. But, only one girl could win... And that was Kelly Odell from Glenhaven, NSW.

The first runner up was Ashlea Harvey from Marsden in QLD. Second runner up was Natalie Bikicki, from Macedon, VIC.

Well done girls!
