Songbirds. Every time I said I was going to Songbirds the response was nostalgic. Everyone knows Songbirds and everyone has a story about good times there. Fortunately Songbirds at Mt Tamborine has reopened. My Bff FlygirlRach & I were invited to do what we do best: lunch. When we arrived and learned it was a 6 course degustation menu with … [Read more...]
Toscana Love Affair
Dress Me GC has been spending a bit of time at Toscana. There's heaps of new stock, and I'm loving playing Dress Ups with Judith and all the customers! It's great fun. With Lisa Browns latest collection, new arrivals from Noa Noa and bags & hats from Axel Mano it's become a favourite haunt! I'm not too sure the Love of My Life is falling for the "Blogging from … [Read more...]

The Dress Me Christmas in July Lunch at the Darcy Arms was great fun. Thank you to Mick, Shannan, Kerry and the team for your hospitality. It's great to see The Darcy Arms revived again and in full swing. The food was fantastic and the bubbles flowed. Thank you. The Pop Up Shop from Miss Darcy Boutique was very popular. Thank you for the Talullah Dress. I love it. The … [Read more...]
Watch them grow!
I love watching Australian designers grow and while I always knew Thurley was great brand with prices ranging from high street to high end, I was unprepared for the love I felt when I looked at their latest collection... These are my favorite items, but I could easily have chosen 10 more pieces. In case you haven't quite got the budget for these pieces here are some cheap … [Read more...]
Jump for Joy!
The perfect jumpsuit is almost like a unicorn, stunningly beautiful, but very rare! My all time favorite is the way Cameron Diaz rocked this white jumpsuit, I love when she wears pieces that I want in my closet because we are exactly the same height and shoe size. We both have a small chest, athletic frame and when I lose 4kg, I will look just as great as her in these clothes! … [Read more...]
Time to Warm Up!
Most Dress Me GC-ers know that I am a Summer Girl. Winter does not do anything for me. I used to like the first few weeks of winter when we could wear our winter clothes etc... but I've decided that it doesn't get cold enough to wear proper winter clothes here. Anyway I'm over the foul weather that is winter and I'm busting for a swim in the ocean. There is nothing like a … [Read more...]
Loving Lace
Lace is everywhere. I love it. Loved it even before I was The Bride. It was out in full force at the Cannes International Film Festival and I spotted this great look on Sarah Murdoch. Whilst most of us don’t have that many occasions to don the vintage Valentino and walk the red carpet, we can still put a bit of lace in our life. Ms Dress Me GC wore it with … [Read more...]
More Lisa Brown…
It's always so exciting when new season stock arrives in the stores. I love seeing people wearing the clothes. My Aunt Jennie bought the new season Lisa Brown and looks fantastic! Jennie wore the dress to celebrate her mothers 90th Birthday. They both look amazing. Jennie was my inspiration to start running. When I was 39 I walked to the Broadwater with the kids to … [Read more...]
Lisa Brown New Season
Lisa Brown autum/winter 14 is available at Toscana. Dress Me GC loves it! It's fairly similiar to the lst few seasons, but that;s a good thing, as our Lisa Brown pieces from last season will not be dated. Pop in and see Judith and and the girls. Judith is always happy to order anything that isn't in stock (if it's available). Last Friday I ventured up the M1 to … [Read more...]
Welcome to Dress Me GC 2014
Hello Dress Me GCers! How nice to be back. The Christmas Holidays are well and truly over and the kids are back in the school routine. I've had a hair cut, microdermabrasion and finally taken my bikini off and put clothes on. My handbag has been a sandwich bag, with sunscreen, keys, mobile and $4 for coffee on the way home from the beach. It's been one of the most … [Read more...]

Gold Coast Bulletin 50 Best Dressed Part 2
The Gold Coast Bulletins 50 Best Dressed List Evening Wear has hit the news stands. Everyone looks good. I had a rather anxious night last Friday waiting to see if I'd got it right or wrong. It's ok. I should have worn a dress. It's very hard to get dressed when you don't know where you are going. Anyway having said that, there isn't anything I can do. I'm glad I have … [Read more...]
Holiday Shopping
My Sydney Holiday Neighbour and I had a lovely morning on the beach, followed by outlet shopping at Harbourtown. Outlet shopping at Harbourtown is THE BEST. Not because it's cheap....because they have a movie theatre. No Nicole and I don't do the movies - we shop. The kids do the movies! Between us we have 8 children, and today we had one extra so we sent 9 kids to the … [Read more...]

After the parade we went to a Spanish Tapas Bar in the Broadbeach Mall. If you haven't been … [Read more...]
Dishevelled
That is the word of the day. My day started at 4:40am when I raced off for the weekly 10K hill run with my running buddy. Oh dear.... The turtle has returned. I ran with legs of lead gasping for air! Last week I was an Olympian and this week I'm back to being a turtle. I'm not fazed. I'm happy I did it! After the run I raced home, showered, dressed, helped the … [Read more...]
Jumpsuit Heaven
The Witchery drape-front jumpsuit has made me very happy. At $149.95 it's a must have for your wardrobe. You can't go wrong with a jumpsuit. They look so good when you are going out with heels, a clutch, a cuff on your wrist and earrings, and look fantastic dressed down with sandals. I can't find a link to share with you on any website, however it is in the latest David … [Read more...]

The Best part about shopping at Ivy Meets Gwenda … [Read more...]
Where to Start?
Hello! Dress Me GC has so much to share with you that I have been lost for words! Oh yes, I can hear you sniggering - she's NEVER lost for words! The thing is that there has been so much on, between a Tupperware Party that went for 10 hours, a fantastic Dress Me GC lunch at Glass last Friday, making those bloody lamp shades, being a mother to four children and keeping The … [Read more...]
Shopping in Brisbane
Bron from MND & Me, and I hit the shops in Brizzy yesterday. Are you with me? That was a confusing start. First stop was Surafina to select our outfits for next weeks lunch and to choose clothes for the parade. Bron and I tried everything on! We had a great time! They have some fantastic pieces - I can't wait to show you at lunch! If you can't make it to lunch, … [Read more...]
Dressing Up
Anyone sick of pants? Sick of Jeggings? Sick of tracksuit pants? No? I agree. Dress Me GC is loving wearing jeggings, boots and a tee with a vest or jacket. But there will come a time when we need to dress up and put a frock on! The girls at Seed, Marina Mirage showed me two of their best sellers. The Hi-Lo Hem Pleated Dress. It's khaki and goes well with tights, ankle … [Read more...]
