Cash, Check or Charge?

Check: High Fashion Python Print Clutch with Bow, $69, www.endless.com

Charge: Valentino Satin bow clutch, $795, www.net-a-porter.com

I've been eyeing this Valentino satin clutch for a long time now but who, pray tell, has $800 to spend on a clutch? In these hard economic times I realised that it was high time for another "Cash, Check or Charge" post. I Like Her Style's mantra is, "if you can't beat 'em, you don't have to join 'em." So if you can't spend $800 on a clutch, don't. There are two economically friendly alternatives featured above at just $25 and $69... Enjoy!!

Thandie Newton

Thandie Newton at Columbia Pictures Premiere of '2012' at Regal Cinemas LA Live on November 03, 2009 in Los Angeles, California.
Thandie Newton was radiant at the "2012" movie premiere last month wearing a Prabal Gurung dress. When you wear something as elegant as this you don't need much else to make the look complete. Thandie opts for a statement ring and show-stopping red lips. If you need a bag to hold all your essentials, as most of us do, a classic and simple clutch will do. Don't forget vertigo heels and you're good to go!

Thandie Newton is the epitome of style and eloquence. Stealing her style will never fail you. If you can get away with it, don the bright, jungle red lipstick with the DVF dress. If not, don't fear. This post will help you figure out what shade of red is perfect for you. Where a dress like this for your next birthday soiree or a first date with that special guy. ;)

Naked New Year 2010

Here we are with another end of yet another year. Was your year good, horrid or inbetween?


Either way, this is the time of year where many around the world let down their hair and enjoy themselves. Some people go to private parties, some go into the city for public fireworks while some stay at home either awake or asleep.


Some of us, such as myself, will most likely be naked as this is how I am most comfortable. How good it would be though to be at a New Year's celebrations amongst other naturists, especially those who have young children so my children could socialise with them as we bid farewell to the out going year and welcome in the new incoming year.


I hope that 2010 is a brilliant year for everyone.


Happy Naked New Year, 2010!

How to Have Fun in the Rain!

How can one have fun in the rain?

Play in the rain and have loads of fun. Jump in Mother Nature' pool kindly donated and placed anywhere she likes such as your backyard like we have in ours.

It is such a great way to enjoy life!

In The Rain

It felt so good.

After feeling the temperature in the house rise and our bodies began to sweat as the sky grew darker, down came the rain from the sky. My 8 year old daughter and I decided to head out the backyard to check out the rainfall.

It wasn't a heavy rainfall but it was enough for us, father and daughter to stand in the rain together as the healing rain washed our bodies clean and made us cool. The trampoline was looking inviting so I lay down on it. My daughter climbed up beside me and joined me as the rain fell on us.

There way lay, soaking wet and feeling refreshed as talked about the rain, how good it felt to be outside in the rain. How annoying it is to wear clothes in the rain as they get heavy and sticky. Yes, only in raw in the rain is the way to go as the rain washes your body clean.

We don't even need a shower now as the rain cleansed us. Being in the rain cleanses you not only by washing your skin, it is healing as the water, being a healer of emotion, balances us.

Yes, the rain is gorgeous. I could have slept on that trampoline in the rain.

Rain Play

from, The Collective

It is currently raining outside as the wet season starts to move. It's late but better late than never and what could be better than sending your children outside to play in the rain?

Our children enjoy playing outside in the rain and they love playing in the rain while naked. It is easier for them to run and splash around without the confines of rain soaked cottons weighing their bodies down. Naked rain play is so much healthier than getting soaked clothes as clothing holds all the moisture and the coldness to your body. Not good when this cold is being held to your chest so take off that clothing and allow the water to run down your body, instead of holding it to your body.

Jumping in puddles, swimming, running in the rain is always best when done naked so take off that restrictive clothing and remember, don't limit this fun to the children.

Australian Naturists At Risk of being Censored by Australian Government

The Rudd Labor Government has announced that they will going ahead with their Nanny State internet censorship from next year, 2010. This 'Clean Feed' Internet Censorship is a work in partnership between the Australian Government and the Christian Lobby who are the only people to have received the results of the censorship trial.


This censorship is said to act against child pornography. Those who know such as the police disagree, saying that online pedophiles use 'file sharing' and other techniques which cannot be stopped by this censorship. So why go ahead with this censorship when all the experts say that it won't work?


Fascism. Yes, fascism is the reason as the Australian Labor Government seeks to control all forms of dissent against him and his government. Prime Minister Rudd has already banned all forms of dissenting information coming from the offices of federal Parliamentarians, using the power held by government with government funding. Any criticism of the Rudd Government must be positive.

This act of fascism dictates that internet providers must block access to any website deemed as unfit by a government department who issue a list which is not allowed to be known by the people. To notify anybody of this list will lead to a fine and/or conviction. If released on a website, the website is then black listed. If you wish to view adult sites to view adult content, you will have to write to ask permission to view it. Hmm, asking the government for permission to view a legal website.


Other websites that would fall into the blacklist category would include anything that falls into the search engine tags such as; naked, nude and nudist. This is surely going to have webpages such this one or any other naturist page banned from the eyes of Australians because the Australian Government and the Christian Lobby knows best. Will they block any site on safe sex, abortion, political dissent? It is highly believed that the answer is yes for those who are not computer literate, leaving children, the most computer savvy, unable to be blocked from these 'evil' websites.


Images this are highly likely to be banned for the eyes of those in Australia.

How can you dissent?

The Greens Party
Prime Minister of Australia
Leader of the Federal Opposition
Leader of the National Party

Shadow Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy

What Could We Do While Naked?

What are the things we could do while naked? Or, what is it you wish you could do while naked?

I know what my 8 year old daughter wishes for. She wishes to live in a town where everybody can decide if they wear clothes or not no matter where they go. This includes a school where all the children could attend school without the restrictions of clothing because it's far more comfortable for her and, on the hope that it would stop kids from picking on other kids for their bodies.

My two eldest children both want to go to a naturist site for a holiday where children can go. There is one a few hours drive north of where I live which I plan to get them too something in 2010. Book one of their caravan ahead of time and see what happens.

Personally, I'd love to go for a nice long drive at night through the country side, stopping only for petrol, food, a stretch and the toilet without the need to cover up. Imagine that.

So what would you do naked that you can't normally do naked?

Third Act: Shake Your Booty

Have you "booted" up yet? If not, you'd better hurry, the weather has taken a nasty turn for the worst. Safely tucked away until next season are my ballet flats and sandals. Out have come my uggs, sneakers and boots. I'd like to think that I'm ready for the worst of it but I do, however, need a leather, flat boot to wear with my sweater dresses and skinny jeans. I've opted for Steve Madden's slouch "Cybul" boot (pictured above).

It's true. A girl can never have too many heels, but she must also keep a trusty pair of flats by her side. If you just can't do without a heel they're plenty of low/kitten-heeled boots in stores such as Aldo and online at www.piperlime.com.
