Posted on
As I’m writing this the final catwalk for NYFW Winter/ Fall 2017 has been strutted. Fashion shows are like a crystal ball into the future, commenting on how we are evolving due to our current culture, politics and world climate.

As the Aussie sun sets across our fine nation I hope you’ve all had a fun all-day rally with your ‘mates’ throwing a few ‘shrimps on the barbie’, sipping on fine domestic wines and beers, listening in to Triple J’s annual Hottest 100, and had a good hard reflection on what it really means to be an ‘Aussie’ in 2017.

THE YEAR AHEAD!

LIFE ISN’T PERFECT BUT YOUR OUTFIT CAN BE!
Posted on
I find this time of year (as much as I love it) to be damn stressful!! So many places to go, people to see, presents to buy, hangover’s to nurse; it’s no wonder that Christmas is known as one of the most anxiety filled of all the holiday periods.

Over the weekend I purchased this fantastic Kate Moss paper doll book to take me back to my childhood!! I loved these as a kid and spent hours dressing them in all sorts of crazy outfits. This one is more of a bit of coffee table book fun, but none-the-less am so tempted to pull it apart and relive some memories!!
FROCK IT!!
Posted on
A few nights back I was channel surfing trying to figure out what the hell to watch. I’ve exhausted my Sex In The City addiction, finished the Netflix ‘Stranger Things’ series, and was in the need for a new show to sink my teeth into. I came across a cult classic film I’d never seen, ‘Arabesque’, with Sophia Loren & Gregory Peck - viewing crisis averted!!

Last week I went for a shop to find some much needed summer sandals and other bits and pieces like bra’s and swimmers that are long overdue for replacing!!

GIFT GIVING

This week I’m thinking gifts! Yesterday I celebrated my wedding anniversary with my husband of now 14 years, plus 6 years on that working out where it was all headed for us!! Two kids later, growing and changing together, it’s fantastic we have made it through life still loving and respecting each other’s companionship.
COLOUR POP!
Posted on
Since the weekend all I’ve been able to think about is colour! The colour in the sky, the colour in my garden, and I’ve been looking at the colours that I’m wearing. On Sunday we had our annual school spring fete in the inner west in Sydney. Fantastic parents from the school get together with the same goal - to raise money for the school so our kids get much needed funding that doesn’t always come from where it should…..
RACING TO SPRING!!
Posted on
At the change of any season I see it as a time of reflection of where I’m at in the year, and usually full of enthusiasm and optimism for what lies ahead. Of course like most people I have to say that when winter is bearing down upon me optimism can very nearly turn to dread…but here in Australia we’re through it, and Spring has well and truly sprung!!

I’ve watched each episode of the show an astronomical number of times and to this day each time I always find something that I haven’t noticed in previously- Which brings me to the topic of wardrobe malfunctions!!

Last weekend I went to a trivia fundraiser at our kids school where the theme was ‘Hollywood Glamour’. A girlfriend said you should go as Goldie Hawn which I thought was a fab call!! I love my fashion nostalgia so I decided to go for the late 60s early 70s Goldie look for some fun!
GET HIGH ON HUES!

In Sydney we are now approaching mid-winter. Whilst it’s been a mild one to date, we’ve still had our fair share of cloudy and rainy days. I’ve been finding myself drawn to dressing in brights to radiate a little sunshine on these bleak days!
Shop Pre-Loved To Reduce Your Fashion Footprint

Since creating aceyacey.com.au, I have met many many like-minded women who love fashion as much as I do!! I’ve dedicated years to the art of shopping, and how I want to style myself. If ever there was a school on the art of fashion therapy I think I’d be the Dean!!!

SOUND & VISION
Posted on
It was an exciting weekend in the Moor household! We’re all massive fans of David Bowie, and like everyone on the planet, devastated by his sudden passing. My youngest Jed cried for a week, and was upset that he would never get the chance to see him live with me!
So for his birthday Simon and I bought him tickets to the Bowie tribute show at the Opera House with the Sydney Symphony, and he was just thrilled! The concert was fantastic with performances from Aussie icons such as Tim Rogers, Iota, Steve Kilby and the list goes on. It was a real coming -of-age moment for the kids, and so glad to experience it with them.

WHAT A MUM WANTS...
Posted on
Well yet another Mother’s Day is upon us in Australia.
I love Mother’s Day!
A good friend once said to me Mother’s Day is their favourite day of the year. Unlike a birthday, where it means another year older, Mother’s Day acknowledges you for no other reason than that you are AWESOME, and you are recognised by the special ones in your lives’ for helping their world turn!! (At least I hope they think that!!!).
DEBBIE HARRY- ROCK N ROLL MUSE
Posted on
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.
