Shoes – I love ‘em! The quirkier the better. Since discovering Jeffrey Campbell shoes at Solestruck my shoe-drobe has developed a rather interesting personality.
I own a few pairs of JCs and I ALWAYS get compliments. I mean, I love the shoes but compliments make it so much better. I get them shipped to the office and then my colleagues insist on a mini fashion show. It would be rude of me to say no, wouldn’t it!?
Know who you are then adorn yourself accordingly

Margaret Adam Sewing School is well known in these parts. Margaret’s helped many wannabe designers learn sewing and dressmaking skills. Now you too can have a chance to learn from the best in the business in a new initiative – ‘Creative Saturday’.
Its is a well known fact in fashion that designers get ‘inspired’ by each other. When it comes to distinct pieces like this YSL Arty Enamel ring seeing the cheap and tacky Lovisa replica it’s just too much to bear. Actually ‘replica’ is too kind. It’s a knock off. Shame on you Lovisa!
Christmas is just around the corner and I wanted to give you a special little gift for being such loyal friends and readers. For a while now I’ve been working on this gift with Luna Love, a Brisbane based fashion illustrator. For you my dears – here’s a free fabulous printable calendar for 2011.
This post was originally published on Desktop Mag, where I contribute to the blog. I had to share it with you as I know you’ll love the label!
Melissa Odabash is a former catwalk and swimwear model, based in London. She launched this label while living in Italy – fabulous place to start a new swimwear line.
Danger by name, dangerous by nature. Energetic, exciting, adventurous, infectious – this label has taken Brisbane by storm. Wearable fabrics, fluid silhouettes bursting with colours and prints, drama, movement – it really doesn’t get any more exciting that this.
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.
A little glamour goes a long way. For those of you who are yet to master the art of elegant yet fuss-free dressing – you might need the help of Brisbane legend Gina Kim.
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.
During my short trip to Melbourne I had found the cutest store – Harem Boutique on Brunswick Street. The store assistant had kindly allowed me to take some photos of the interior, it’s just too gorgeous to keep it a secret.
Check out these bags from Icelandic designer Hrafnhildur Guðrúnardóttir, of Hidden Goods (www.hiddengoods.net). An explosion of ruffles if I ever saw one.
This could be your project :)
