It seems like only yesterday I was writing up the March round-up for the #AlmostPoshStyleCost project and here I am again, totting up April's balance already. After March's considerable aquisition program, I steadied myself for April in preparation for the holiday I have booked in May which will include potential proximity to DFO and the like. However I did pick up a few major...

We've covered off on boots already in Posh Picks, however when I got a recent email from Styletread, I was absolutely IN LOVE with some of this new season footwear and I just had to share my favourites with you. Now, as it comes into the cooler weather, we're thinking closed toes, block heels and those lovely neutral colours that tone in nicely with...

As advised at the beginning of the year, Almost Posh will generally not be posting on public holidays. Today, as we remember the ANZACs and those who have served, I'm sharing my post marking the 100 year anniversary from last year. ANZAC Commemorations Lest we forget. ...

Bit of a random diversion for Almost Posh, but a couple of months ago, I woke up one Friday morning, started a small business and was suddenly all: Okay, it wasn't quite that spontaneous (I had given it some thought the night before) but it was kind of that easy. I'd been doing some sideline work through various contacts as well as getting...

It seems a bit weird to be talking about warm coats and jackets when Adelaide is due to hit 28 degrees again today and it feels more like the start of summer than the approach to winter but don't let it fool you, brace yourself, insert Game of Thrones meme here, etc. For me, the struggle is real when it comes to winter...

If you have any eyes on the Australian beauty radar, you'd know that Priceline recently dropped one of their famous 40% off sales and it was my favourite one; cosmetics! Now, I will be honest, I am hardly lacking cosmetically but when has that ever stopped me, the sale is a good time to stock up on favourites or try new items for a fraction...

As I mentioned in my #AlmostPoshStyleCost round-up for March, I had to return a really cute Dorothy Perkins knit to The Iconic because it was too big, which means I have the princely sum of $23.11 in credit burning a hole in my pocket sitting in my account. Now, it so happens The Iconic is currently ramping up their mid-season sale with an...

I've never been any good with hair; the styling or doing of, which is why I rocked a short concave bob for many years. Witness, my official work portrait which I haven't bothered changing for about five years. Anyway, after having my daughter, I grew it out for the sole purpose of being able to put it into a ponytail and embraced a...

I hadn't ever given much thought to Katies until recently; I had a striped maxi dress I got while pregnant over 3 years ago but that was about it. It's not like I'd written it off as being too old (I do have the odd piece from Millers, after all!), I had just never got around to making it a regular on my...

Denim is not going anywhere, ever, and each season, we see new ways to wear it, even if those new ways are old ways for the second or third time (hello, flares). Why is denim so good? Versatility. Anyone can rock it. ANYONE. You just have to get the right piece. Whether it's a girly chambray dress, an old school patched jacket or...
