The Book is not as good as the movie, or should that be the movie is nothing like the book?](https://jeweldivasstyle.com/world-war-z-book-is-not-as-good-asgood-as-the-movie-or-should-that-be-the-movie-is-nothing-like-the-book/) - I figured with the movie coming out this year I should read the book. It was boring, and nothing like the movie I've seen the trailer for. Although you could also say the movie is nothing like the book. Either way, it was boring and I had nightmares since last Friday night when

It technically wasn't spring until the 21st, but the month decided to get its big girl pants on and forge ahead with some warmer weather.

- [MY STYLE: August 2023](https://jeweldivasstyle.com/my-style-august-2023/) - August, like many other months, can be warm and cool, all on the same day. So in this month I was wearing summer tops and kaftans to keep cool, and long sleeved and layers to keep warm. Floral love letters... Aquas and mints Purples and bad lighting. I really need to learn
- [Writing Books I've Acquired this Year](https://jeweldivasstyle.com/writing-books-ive-acquired-this-year/) - My acquisition of writing books is running at a slow pace. Meandering really, depending on what I find that's worth my money. Years back I went through my fashion, jewellery, accessory and style phase of book buying. I went though a Barbie phase and a Selina Lake phase, I've had my Nancy Drew et al.
- [BOOK REVIEW: One Of Us Is Lying, and Friend Request](https://jeweldivasstyle.com/book-review-one-of-us-is-lying-and-friend-request/) - I don’t get to read many books these days, other people’s that is. Usually, I’m so entrenched in reading, re-reading and editing my own that I don’t have much time. I also have that weirdo thing of thinking I’ll absorb the book and sometime down the track start writing it myself. So I try to

- [Catching up with my latest Murder, She Wrote goodies](https://jeweldivasstyle.com/catching-up-with-my-latest-murder-she-wrote-goodies/) - I haven't collected much this year but I'm zeroing in on the remaining items. Five books, and three variants of jigsaw puzzles, outside of the series. I'd also love to collect the hardcovers, but that would be incredibly expensive at this point in time, and I have no room to store them or show them.

One minute it's warm, then cold, then three types of weather in one day. Starts off cold, gets warm, then drops back down to zero. But, without further ado, here are my outfits for April. Teamed a few pieces in blue

- [STYLE FAILURES: Mini skirts and dresses!](https://jeweldivasstyle.com/style-failures-mini-skirts-and-dresses/) - I think mini skirts and dresses are pretty much a style failure these days. All I see are girls constantly tugging down their skirts, holding them down in a stiff wind, making sure people can't see up them, sitting delicately and making sure they don't flash anyone when they cross their legs. Wouldn't want a

And what do you think of it?](https://jeweldivasstyle.com/designer-knock-offs-why-stores-sell-them-do-you-buy-them-and-what-do-you-think-of-it/) - I'm in two minds about this subject. One one hand, as a designer, I don't like the thought of chain stores ripping me off. I've priced my jewellery reasonably, I believe, ranging from $5 to several hundred. I did that because the jewellery is all one off, original and handmade by me. No chain store sells

Every time I see this ad it enrages me, not just for the pathetic bullshit humans have taught their children, but more for the fact that so many women have not taught their daughters any better.

It’s everywhere, on TV, radio, magazines, and personally, I’m over it. Don’t call me a feminist. Don’t call me a non-feminist. Don’t use the word around me at all.

That ‘he’s the one’ for them but he doesn’t want to commit.

WHY!!!!!!](https://jeweldivasstyle.com/women-who-hide-purchases-from-their-partners-why/) - This week, Michelle Obama came out and claimed she hid her purchases from Barack.

I wasn't sure what to name this post as anything I came up with made it sound like I would be showing you where to find and buy cardigans for winter.

Here are three ankle length kaftans I found in the first few months of
- [FASHION STYLE: How I'm fast becoming The Kaftan King](https://jeweldivasstyle.com/fashion-style-how-im-fast-becoming-the-kaftan-king/) - The name says it all really, a play and my own surname of King, and since I'm fast becoming a buyer of kaftans, tops and dresses, I figured I may as well use the moniker. As I started buying from Millers I didn't really connect with the fact they were kaftan tops. To me, they
- [MY PERSONAL COLLECTION: The fantastic blue clothes and jewels I bought over the holidays.](https://jeweldivasstyle.com/my-personal-collection-the-fantastic-blue-clothes-and-jewels-i-bought-over-the-holidays/) - I bought so many clothes last year it's almost disgusting. I said almost....lol. But because I've had a cleanout it's okay, I threw out almost as many I had bought, and here are the blue ones I did buy. Most of it's from millers, but then what else is new. The top tank tops were
- [MY PERSONAL COLLECTION: New Green and Yellow clothes and jewels](https://jeweldivasstyle.com/my-personal-collection-new-green-and-yellow-clothes-and-jewels/) - Regardless of the fact I started stripping my closet bare of all old clothes, these are newer pieces I've recently bought, and fantastic they are too. Missoni for Target came to Australia last year but sadly, not at my local Target. While my area probably has a good few hundred thousand people living here the head honchos

I loved the look of it in the pictures, the seller claimed it was new and it reminded me of a lolly wrapper. Plus, I only paid $10 plus $7.95 for shipping. Bargain I thought. However! When I received it and opened up my parcel ever

Rudolph and the xmas tree weren't available in
- [FASHION STYLE: Kimonos and How I Style Them](https://jeweldivasstyle.com/fashion-style-kimonos-and-how-i-style-them/) - When I started thinking about posting my kaftans and kimonos, (and since I dramatically bought about 15 kaftans in the first two months of 2015 alone) I figured my kimonos needed their own post. Some call them capes or blouse jackets, to me they are kimonos, either way, they're all the same structured item. At the moment I
- [FASHION STYLE: The Kaftan King is Back!](https://jeweldivasstyle.com/fashion-style-the-kaftan-king-is-back/) - Following on from my last post I have been nothing short of obsessed with kaftans this year. While I've been having issues with clothes I've bought on eBay this has been the only way for me to get them, and I get them as inexpensive as possible. Even asking for discounts or doing a best offer.

Just as with my pineapple top and jewels, or my zodiac tank and bracelet stack, I love being able to dig into

Along with Luxe, Boho Luxe (bohemian luxury), must-have, investment, the new black, effortless (which we know it never is), juxtaposition and I could go on. I have heard it way too many times this year with not only magazines, style sites, stylists, people

Clothes, jewels, accessories, we love it, we buy it. And because I live behind a shopping centre I'm there on a weekly basis. It also means I have a Millers store and a Kmart which sells tonnes of stuff absolutely at their cheapest. That means clothes! The two
- [Designers Extraordinaire](https://jeweldivasstyle.com/designers-extraordinaire/) - I buy designs, not designers. Designer goods are way too expensive for something made in a Chinese factory and then sent off to Italy or France for a handle, zip or tag that says made in Italy or France. Many big name brands do this as it's very common knowledge these days. How the consumer
- [F - F - F - FASHION](https://jeweldivasstyle.com/f-f-f-fashion/) - Fashion can range from high end to low end, from Armani, Prada or Dolce and Gabbana, to Target, Kmart or Big W. It changes length, season, style, trend, colour, design, and print.
