Redeem yourself this Spring
Tomorrow is the first day of Spring which in fashion terms means things are going to get interesting. It is your duty to now retire those nasty wooly winter numbers and replace them with something flirty and fabulous. Not sure what to buy first? Well you’re in luck – it just so happens that I am starting your spring awakening with Benjamin Ringuet’s debut collection titled Redemption.

Is anyone else excited?! Tom Gunn and George Wu are having a SALE!
5 minutes with: Gabrielle and Shannon from Tom Gunn
I love Brisbane. And I love Brisbane fashion. In a country that is so focused on Sydney and Melbourne and what the designers are working on over there, Brisbane often gets forgotten. Brisbanites are just as guilty as the rest of them, traveling to Melbourne for shopping on a regular basis.
RIP Alexander McQueen
Waking up this morning to find out that Alexander McQueen had passed away was totally bizarre. I really wanted to do a piece on him and when I saw the email from Desktop Magazine asking me to do just that I thought, ‘let’s do it.’
Event: High Heels Society
The High Heels Society is a monthly get together of Brisbane’s fashionistas who LOVE shoes. Hosted by Damien Rossi – Brisbane’s own Mr. Hollywood and The Sunday Mail entertainment and celebrity news columnist, the event takes place at the gorgeous Limes Hotel rooftop bar in Fortitude Valley.
New season in stock at Petrol
New Year? Check. New wardrobe? Um, not quite. Well you’ll be pleased to know that Petrol in Paddington, Brisbane, have new collections instore right now. There’s George, George Evening, Kachel, Moss and Spy, and Nat-Sui to mention a few.
Feeling crafty
I’ve had a bit of time on my hands this week and I thought ‘You know, I could totally make something’. I looked at my brand new sewing machine and I thought, ‘Yup, let’s do it’. Then once I got it out I realised how tiny our apartment is (and how much mess I make when I sew) and that put me off this brilliant idea altogether. So instead of making something myself I thought I’d write about a crafty lady who is making uber cool things.
Need some Therapy?
Ok so looking good isn’t everything – but we all know it is important. How you feel about yourself shapes your world and affects not only your own life but also the lives of those around you. I must admit it’s frustrating when you have to choose between looking good or paying rent but it doesn’t have to be like that! You can in fact look gorgeous on any budget. Introducing (drum roll please) Therapy shoes – just call me your fairy shoemother.
