Day 250 - Hai!

Pictured outside solid gold Japanese eating temple Kenzan in downtown Melbourne, these blissful Rene Caovilla heels are enhanced by a few pumps of Tom Ford's Japon Noir. Although the fragrance match sounds contrived I confess I didn't start the day thinking I would be eating Japanese! Now, back to the shoes. They are the softest, peachiest camel-shaded leather with a slight quasi-metallic sheen. How do those clever Venetian cobblers do it, I wonder? Maybe I should stop wondering, and just enjoy.

Day 249 - Black and white

Manolo Blahnik suede flats cavorting at the Melbourne Town Hall during Spring Fashion Week, enhanced with the immortal Tabac Blond by Caron. Perfect.

Day 248 - Dreaming

Kittie was feeling a tad poorly today, but perked up in a pair of soft Spanish leather mules purchased in Barcelona, which are posed against a work by Aboriginal artist Alice Nampijinpa, worn with Diptique's L'Eau de l'Eau.

Day 247 - The Lady of the Camellias

Of course, La Traviata would be supine on a sofa coughing delicately into a hankie, but Kittie is on her feet this evening with some lovely girly silk and satin sandals by Melbourne designer Alannah Hill, posed against some...camellias. They are worn with the fabulous legendary fragrance, Arpege EDP by Lanvin - which apparently (I didn't know until now) has a camellia note.

Day 246 - Bejewelled

Well-loved Prada pink crushed silk velvet sandals with bling detail are pictured tonight with Kittie's fabulous new parfum, Tubereuse by Caron.  Below is a pic of the lovely Kevin at Myer Melbourne decanting the fragrance from urn to bottle earlier in the day. Heavenly!

Day 244 - Spring

A springy pair of Prada slingbacks with black patent leather detail...and leather flowers...pictured on the first day of the Australian spring, accompanied by the lovely 3 Fleurs by Parfum d'Empire, which scored compliments today. Very subtle on the skin after the first spray, but a very cheerful, extroverted floral, and I love it!
