Mid-season Markdowns!

The retail world at the moment is something of a bargain hunter's paradise. I haven't paid full price for anything in Myer for yonks, if in fact ever. And now, it's mid-season for S/S '09/10, which means *trumpet fanfare* mid-season markdowns!

We've gone through and marked down previous season and 1st summer stock from nearly every label (plus if you sign up to the newsletter you get your extra member's 10% off!) and there are some seriously good buys to be had. So, without further ado here are 5 fabulous finds (note: must get sub editor):

Motel Heidi Dress now $69 this is an awesome party dress for the upcoming festive season - sweet but sexy, it only needs some killer heels to complete the look!

One Teaspoon Frilly Rose Shirt now $49.95 you'll see this look again next season so get in now! Team a floaty blouse with a pencil skirt for the office, with a statement shoulder jacket or a miliraty inspired vest for a cool contrast.

Mermaid Sister Glitter Girl Slouchy Jumper now $49.95

If you're heading to a summer festival, a super cool but not overly heavy pullover (did I just say pullover? Yes Nanna I did. Jumper? Sweater? Why am I having issues with this?) is a must-have for later in the evening. Plus, when winter comes round you can throw it on with jeans and boots for easy casual chic!
Freshbaked Check Shirts now $29.95 a checked shirt over a tee is classically cool - just roll up the sleeves when it's hot! Erm and no cowboy hats/boots please. Please.

Moppit Chloe Top now $29 this is so chic for little girls, and looks great teamed with tailored shorts for a dressier casual option. (Does that make sense? Maybe. Anyway. It's getting late. And Ladette to Lady is on shortly so let's wrap this up people). Not to take away from this garment. It's a proper little lady top in a gorgeous shade of green and thankfully has no random "cutie pie" print or other such atrocity (had a bad experience in Target the other day. So many pointless prints on tshirts.) Wow this has gotten long. Point is, this is a great alternative to a tshirt but slips on and off as easily and works with denim, looks like it costs more than it does, and has a chic designer edge. Score!

30% Off Birthday Sale!

To me, a good party means:

-A fabulous new frock, which obviously isn't something we are short of here at FYHQ;

-Good company (tick)
-Multiple bottles of vino

-Songs that you usually cringe at but are more than happy to sing joyously after dowing aforementioned beverages

-A designated driver who is hopefully not you or any of your close buddies. This is where husbands occassionally come in handy now that we're too old to call on someone's Mum in the wee hours (ahem).

But, when you have just turned 2 a la Frock, bubble blowing, fairy bread, cupcakes and a whopping great big sale are the order of the day. Why you guys get the present I'm not sure (kidding, it's to thank you for your loyal support and custom. Seriously, you rock!), but dang, it's a good one - 30% off storewide until Friday! Wooty sticks of joy!

The code is BIRTHDAY and while I would highly recommend you snap up everything quicksticks, ladies these are (some of, tbh) my standout essential picks to get you through the season:

SUNDAY A&J Urusla Leather Biker Boot, $219.95 sale price $153.96 - a flat pair of black boots with timelessly cool buckle detail will see you through many, many winters to come.

Mimosa Baby Wool Funnel $59.95 sale price $41.96 - so soft and luxe (and a bargain price!) the neckline is more flattering than a normal skivvy and it looks just as good on it's own with tailored pants as layered with a vest or knit.

Blue Juice Cool Rider Zip Dress $109.95 sale price $76.96 - this is so cool with it's zipper detailing, a modern piece for the office (seriously if I see another professional person in a skivvy, polyester ill-fitting pants/court shoes combo I'm going to throw a stick at them) or make it work for the weekend with ankle boots and funky tights!


GRAB Harem Pants $39.95 sale price $27.96 (bargain!!!) - ok I have to admit harem pants aren't my thing personally as I am a shortarse and they don't suit me at all, but I have tried these on and OMG they are the comfiest pants ever. So comfy, they even make me say OMG. Definitely a key look for this year (most labels are also doing them for S/S so invest now), these ones look great with a little tee, or worn with tough heels and a flowing top.

Piper Lane Bobcat Trench $179.95 sale price $125.96 - a classic cut, this looks incredibly chic on and goes with absolutely everything, possibly even with tracky daks. Great for those who like a coat that doesn't swamp them, add a little brooch or a cool scarf to make the look your own!

One Teaspoon Cavalry Knit Dress $109.95 sale price $76.96 - worn casual, for the office or dressed up; a classic plain knit dress will never go out of style. Grab a cute waist belt and relax knowing you've got an outfit you can chuck on on those blergh days and still look amazing!

Little Potty Red Shoes Boardwalk Dress $169 sale price $118.30 - this is truly beautiful, with a black lace front panel and black lacy straps forming a deep-v back (so even though there are straps, it is essentially backless. But there is no coherent way to write that.). Elegant, sexy, go for a smoky eye and prepare to turn heads (and not in an Exorcist kinda way).

With that, I wish you luck battling the cyber crowds at our mega awesome sale!
