I'm back from Cairns and happy to report that we had the best time! The 2018 Cairns Amateurs was well worth the effort to attend. Massive Thank you Cairns Locals Pip (Miller PR) & Fraser for hosting us - It was so much fun and a lot of laughs! Last week was a little bit frustrating trying to get outfits together, work, feeding children and … [Read more...]
What’s happened?
Ok it's about a week, maybe a bit more (who's counting) since my last blog and it's all gone down hill. Not really badly - I know people have it a lot worse - and I do have a sense of reality, but my tiny hospital visit was torture, my Purple Peel has annoyed me (I know short term inconvenience - long term gain), I've lost my favourite pair of sunglasses, smashed my phone … [Read more...]
New Hair. New Dress
Time is torturing me! It controls everything. There's too much to do all the time. I can't find time to do my hair - it's always in a messy bun because I don't have time to straighten it. That was until I had a hair straightening treatment by my friend Belynda. This Blog: Dress Me GC started over 6 years ago after a handbag party when … [Read more...]
Lisa Brown at #MBFF
Dress Me GC was lucky enough to go Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival twice last week. The first was with Leesa & Helen from Black N Bling (see previous blog), and the second was with Lisa Brown. Judith from Toscana who many of you know was one of the first Boutiques to stock Lisa's Designs and I headed up the M1 to Old Government House in Brisbane. … [Read more...]
Stop the Clock!
It's hard to believe we are racing towards Easter. I'm not sure about you but I'm still thinking it's late January. Ok, slight exaggeration but that's how it is. What's going on? I can't keep up. Last week was High Tea with Australian Fashion Designer Carla Zampatti. It was definitely a highlight. Because I am almost deaf (no exaggeration) I couldn't really hear … [Read more...]
Backpacking
I'm in love with my Mimco Backpack. It's so pretty. I've been staring at it in the window at Mimco, Marina Mirage for a few weeks and then I received an email about Vogue's Shopping night saying everything was 20% off and all of a sudden it arrived 2 days later in the mailbox. Happy Days. Talk Soon. Cx … [Read more...]
Summer Millinery & Fashion Charity Morning
Congratulations Sonia Stradiotto for hosting yet another fabulous Fashion Parade at your Marina Mirage Store. Sonia Stradiotto Couture's latest offering was one of her best yet.

You won't be … [Read more...]
Silver Shoes
Regular readers will know that I love anything metallic! I can't resist metallic. So when Seed Heritage bought out silver metallic platform brogues (Harper Cleated Brogue $129.95), I struggled to concentrate on anything until I made my way to the Seed Heritage Shop at Marina Mirage and tried them on. I loved them, however I left the store empty handed. When the time … [Read more...]
Dress Me GC Very High Tea
Dress Me GC recently hosted a Very High Tea at Peppers Soul in Surfers Paradise with Diana Frost. Special guest was Dr Michael Flynn. It was held in the Sub Penthouse on the 64th Floor which is why it became a Very High Tea. The lift ride was an experience in itself. It was a perfect setting. Thank you Peppers Soul for your hospitality. Dr Flynn is an … [Read more...]

Hello Dress Me GC-ers!
How are you? I'm sorry I've been absent, but that's just how it is sometimes. I've got a list of excuses a mile long - all valid too! Anyway that's enough about back of house. Lets talk shopping! There is so much to tell you about so be patient, it may take a few blogs... Whilst I haven't been on a computer blogging, Dress Me GC has been out and about handing out … [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 latest Lisa Brown Collection is in store at Toscana, and as usual Lisa has delivered an amazing range.

I am a Pro Blogger
After 2 1/2 days at The Problogger Conference here on the GC I am motivated and have big plans for Dress Me GC and it's baby sister Style Street. This is the short list of what has happened at ProBlogger 2015: - Drank champagne - Ate non stop for 2.5 days - Laughed lots and lots at the Poolside Party. Had the funniest conversation with Miss Chardy and … [Read more...]
Time for a Change?
Here on the GC the weather does not know what is going on. On Monday I was at the beach in a bikini (I'm serious), last night it was so cold I could hardly put the rubbish out and walk Sammy, and today is warm in the sun and freezing in the shade. Enter Lisa Brown Design. It's old news that I love her clothes. They are so suitable for our GC lifestyle. Today I went to … [Read more...]

The Dress Me GC Christmas in July Lunch is on next Friday at The Darcy Arms. It's getting exciting. Tickets are close to selling out, Santa is getting ready, Chefs are madly preparing, wine has been ordered, and prizes are arriving daily!

Sampling Surafina
I spent most of today in Brisbane with Rechelle & Laura the Superstar Fashionistas behind one of my favourite labels Surafina. We had a great time catching up, chatting clothes, & eating the nicest Vietnamese salad! Our Meeting was in their Studio and I was in heaven trying on all their latest collection. I am busting to show you more. Stay tuned - you'll love it … [Read more...]
Tantrum or Tequila?

Early Birthday Present
Next week is my birthday and today I was lucky enough to receive an early birthday present. Dress Me GC scored a pair of Lorna Jane Black navy pants. They are not for exercising - they are more of a lounge pant. The fabric is so nice. I thought they were silk, but on closer inspection it says: 65%cupro, 35%viscose. I have no idea what cupro is, but I do know that is so … [Read more...]
Holiday Blues
The kids are back to school and the routine is already annoying me. I am not a fan of making lunches, school drop off etc.... The Christmas Holidays are the highlight of my life and I can't believe how fast they went! One of my BFFs who lives in Melbourne tells me to get over it and "outsource Darling"! I laugh everytime I hear her say it! Of course that would be unreal, … [Read more...]
