Happy High Pants

Nothing like a bit of click pout and pose! In the fashion world blogs are big and a good friend of mine Zanita Whittington is one of the best, so last week we decided it'd be fun to collaborate and make blog babies.

With World Cup knocking loudly on our doors it was fitting for Zanita to feature a fashionably sexy, sporty chic fashion post - I love the results! Zanita waved her magical wand over the football/exercise version of me, and trust me, I never look this good when I'm running!  She's an amazing young photographer/model, can't wait to see some awesome opportunities come her way.

I had to pop on my new Nike Socceroo's jersey to goof about a little in the middle of all the shots, I've never had a jersey that wasn't an oversized triple XL so I'm loving this one!

Check out the rest at http://www.zanita.com.au

In other more relevant news, yes, we lost on Saturday night to the USA 3 - 1. Of course not ideal, however, a friendly can never be as fiercely contested. The Socceroo's now have about a week left before our first massive match against Germany so I'm sure preparations in South Africa are being finely tuned down to the last mouthful of cereal.

As for me, today I feel a little more settled. I've finalised nearly all of my life in Sydney and am carefully packing for South Africa!

2 Days till I leave, 4 days till the first World Cup game... I wonder what this journey has in store!

Get your Socceroos face on!

Every time I read '3 steps to a sexy smokey eye' in a magazine I just know that it's unachievable - I end up looking like a Raccoon (I know all of you boys out there will be with me on this one). So, in light of this I've decided to create my own fool proof guide to getting your Socceroos face on!

OR go all the way... Not for the faint hearted.

World Cup Outfit Trial Two: The Stock Standard

It’s time for World Cup styling advice again... In order to fill in the full spectrum of outfit possibilities I feel that it’s necessary to include the stock standard; Aussie jersey accompanied with Green and Gold Scarf.

This will probably be the most common option amongst World Cup patrons. Practical, comfortable and affordable…

As you can see, when I get my jersey on I am instantly in Hooligan character… Maybe this is what happens to all of the English fans? They may well be charming young chaps without the football jersey on!

I hope I don’t offend with the spewing antics… Just to clarify with anyone who may not be aware this is the infamous and affectionately named ‘Spew Shirt’ worn proudly by the Socceroo’s in around about 1992.

Keep posted for future World Cup fashion advice!!

World Cup Outfit Trial ONE

Here is my first World Cup outfit option… Now, I don’t mean to get all Cher from Clueless on you but our World Cup appearance matters my friends… 

I plan to make a series of outfit ideas for the fashion conscious in South Africa. Take note!

If there's one thing that excites me more than going to South Africa it would be Australia’s World Cup bid for 2018-2022… So, what better way to promote our selves than to walk around with ‘Come Play’ post cards stuck from head to toe?

So here I am all decked out!
