Fashion from Brisbane and beyond Trends
Geometric heaven – octagon sunglasses
Geometry was never my forte, let’s be honest. It always seemed like it was the most tedious thing in the world and I could not figure out when I would actually need it. Bore! But if geometry was as exciting as these sunglass styles, I swear I would have paid more attention student.
Colour me happy
Have you ever noticed how great you feel with a little bit of colour on your lips? Or how fresh your friend looks when her cheeks are rosy?

Gorgeous new spring colours from M.A.C! Dark, lush and very ‘come-hither’. If you need a new colour this season, pick purple.
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.
On Trend: Bodysuits
Now that the weather has started to cool a little (emphasis on ‘little’ – this is Brisbane after all) I am turning my thoughts towards an autumn wardrobe (I was going to say ‘winter’, but that’s so far away!). While I was in town yesterday I briefly feasted my eyes on new seasons’ collections to find many sculptural skirts, dresses and coats. The perfect accompaniment? The bodysuit.
On Trend: The cold shoulder
I have been obsessed with large shoulders since Chloe did the cowl sleeve t-shirt back in 2000 (or 2001, the date escapes me). It’s great to see so many sculptural shoulders around at the moment, particularly in dresses. There’s nothing more ‘come hither’ than a bold, strong shoulder accompanied by bedroom hair and sultry eyes.
To ruffle or not to ruffle?
Check out these bags from Icelandic designer Hrafnhildur Guðrúnardóttir, of Hidden Goods (www.hiddengoods.net). An explosion of ruffles if I ever saw one.
