Todays outfit, bought to you by the letters H, O and T.
Tee – Country Road//Shorts – Target//Shoes – Big W//Sunnies – Cotton On//Bag – Target.
I walked into town today and almost died from the heat! Caught up with my friend for lunch and then checked out the op shops and Target, I scored a sweet mens blazer, a faux fur jacket and another pair of black leggings (tee hee) and put a gorgeous electric blue coat on hold in the salvos to pick up tomorrow (I ran out of money and didn’t have my bank card with me, D’oh!!).
I know its a bit silly to be even thinking about buying coats now, since we’re pretty much guaranteed to have a super hot summer, but they were all $10 or less, and its almost impossible to snatch up a nice coat when the winter so much as even hints about getting colder.
I have an epic weekend coming up, including a job induction (I’m going to be a supre girl hahaha), girls night out on the town and Leigh’s family christmas party (for which I will most likely severly hung over..) I’ll try and get photos of all my outfits =]

bellefantaisie – thanks hun =]
Lindsey – argh, we were having hot weather and now its going all shitty again.
I live in Melbourne, Australia, so we’re in summer now (apparently).
Thankyou =]
Lol, well Supre is this “fashion” chain store.. a supre girl is someone who works there lol.
Thanks for the comment babe!
eli – thankyou!!
amelia_styledownunder –
Thanks sweetie, atm we have a uniform (gah) so there probably wont be that many outfit posts..Wow thats an awesome find!!
stacy – thank you =] I do love a good white sock-and-shoe combo!
Tandsm – Just try throwing them on with pretty much anything – I mean really, they’re just basic sneakers!! If all else fails, they can really make a basic outfit look a little bit cuter =]
Deep in Vogue – thanks hun =]
The weathers gone to the shits again.. hopefully it will be warm again soon!!
suzza – OMG i know!! It’s bloody ridiculous!!
I got it from the Salvos so I can’t really help, but most Salvos stores tend to have at least a couple of furs come through each week – some real some not – its just a matter of luck!
Also I was in Footscray Savers once and noticed there was a massive range of furs, so perhaps check out your nearest Savers store?
a dreamer – =[ i know, me too. Wish it would just pick a bloody temperature and stick to it for once!!!!

yuck i hate the uniform as well
I had to cut the elastic banf of the frilly top cause it rides up and looks gross although heaps of the younger girls wear them with leggings 
i got both, just cause i work pretty much everyday and get all sweaty and gross
inductions are so fun, I keep forgetting to ask, did you apply for bourke st?
anya // December 14, 2008 at 6:37 pm
Oh! you’ll love it its alot more fun to work in big stores. You are also really lucky my favourites manger is leaving to go to bourke st in jan, she is the sweetest and nicest girl ever. Do you know sonyka? anyhoo.. it was so funny today we couldnt go home untill we made as much as bourke st but we ended up going on time anyway, everyone was so scared we’d stay untill like 11pm. But yearh its only longer hours over christmas, we’re open untill 11 on thursdays here
supre=crotch showing is in fashion ;( haha
anya // December 14, 2008 at 7:14 pm
i work in the gowings building one, its four floors. pretty big! sonyka is lovely, i miss her so much shes got the best taste in fashion imo, the one that makes supre look so much better than it is!
closing shifts suck, especially when people dont leave, they just browse untill you kick them out. Usually there arent that many people during the night, except we have myers and djs right next to us, so as soon as they close all the people leave the city. we just kind of do returns then.
ps. shake those people.. do what i never could

Ana from Portugal // February 4, 2009 at 2:08 am
Hi, i’m Ana and i absolutely loooove your blog.
You have so really cool outfits, and this is one i adore, specialy your t.shirt.
You must think i’m a ignorant (wich i am x’D) but, is your t.shirt a men’s t.shirt?
I really like the way that is baggy, and i can’t find one that fits me like that in the womans department, so, can you please help me? How can i get one of those?
thank you so much for your time :’D
xoxo
fashionfake // February 4, 2009 at 3:15 pm
Hey Ana, thanks for the compliment =]
I don’t think you’re ignorant – finding a good tshirt is seriously hard work!
My top is actually a womens one, its just made to be baggy like that – lots of fashion stores here are making loose, long tops for women lately.. do they not in Portugal? (I don’t know what shops you have there).
A mens t shirt should be alright, or even just try buying a larger sized womens one, or look on ebay (search “slouchy tee shirt” or “loose tee shirt” or something to that effect).
Also try looking at what your t shirts are made of, as some fabrics will look “slouchier” or baggier than others. look for tee’s made from 100% cotton or viscose, or a light (or “fine”) jersey. these fabrics are generally very light and will drape well and look awesome =]
Also, I don’t know if you have them in Portugal, but American Apparel make a massive range of great tshirts, I’m sure you’d find something you like!

Hope this helped, let me know if you need more info =]
