I was contacted by Shoes by Bowtie to introduce their specialised shoe services to my lovely readers. Shoes by Bowtie is all about sophisticated high heels for the petite foot. Their sizes start at Australian size 2 (European size 33) and go all the way up to size 10 (European 41)! I remember taking a good friend shopping overseas and the only place we could find shoes for her (being a tiny size 35) was in Milan. In Australia it is SO rare to get shoes for ladies with little feet. But now there’s Shoes by Bowtie! The guys at Shoes by Bowtie let me chose a pair of shoes and I chose an edgy pair for amy good friend, Dan, you would have seen her modelling here :)
Ah, she wears Shoes by Bowtie well.
According to Dan, they’re super comfortable and she loves them. Thank you so much Shoes by Bowtie, count yourself a new devotee :) Hope you all like the artistic touch with the antique phone, thanks Mom and Dad!

You’ve seen our Wall of stars and our Bag wall, but have you seen our Skirt wall, or our hat wall? =)
Milliner Karen Hamilton’s one-off head pieces. She will create a unique hat according to your races outfit. For more information, call our boutique on (03) 9822 0009.
These golden hands were ordered from Urban Outfitters and shipped from the States, we then spray painted them to an antique gold tone and they hold all of our goodies. You’re welcome to shake hands with them too.

We established a High Tea cafe for our guests to enjoy tea, cupcakes, magazines and some catch-up time. Our cupcakes are freshly baked and the teas are from T2. We currently have mini cupcakes which are a great sweet treat and the teas are a beautiful alternative to coffee.
The mannequin is wearing a silk Spijkers en Spijkers dress (it has pockets!) and an Alldressedup necklace.
The golden chairs are hand-painted. Teas are served in antique English china. The pink cups are adorable! Look at the delicious Red Velvet mini cupcakes! You can probably see an art book under the table, it is one of Leonardo Da Vinci. The current Vogue opens up on a Street Chic page that I adore looking at.
Our cupcake and tea menu are written on the mirror. The vanilla cupcakes can be seen on the right, and below.
Sea of Cupcakes…=)
Perhaps many don’t know about this service. I highly recommend it. Where else can you sit in peace and quiet to enjoy high tea in a high end fashion boutique on High St?

There’s a new kid on the block on High St Armadale : Cecylia. Welcome to our shop at 1113 High St Armadale
This little shop is like my new baby. She has not replaced Theodore, my cute Chihuahua son, but she comes close. After all, she has caused me so much stress, headaches and so many late nights like a baby. But hopefully, she will remain beautiful and give me something little in return. In fact, I should have called her ‘Junior’
Today our boutique opened its doors to the public. We are proud parents of the shop!
We have UK It label Felder Felder http://www.felderfelder.com/ on the left, followed by the label created by Dutch sisters Spijkers en Spijkers http://www.spijkersenspijkers.nl/.
On the right is where Karla Spetic is housed. Her Dreamer AW10 collection is as romantic as it sounds. In fact, our very first sale today was a dress from her collection.
There are gorgeous Repetto shoes sitting on mirrored drawers, dying to be tried on.
Our lounge area is probably the most popular part of the shop, where customers can enjoy some peace and quiet reading magazines, fashion and art books; indulge in some delicious cupcakes and watch Street Chic photos on the Plasma ahead of them. The flavours in store are Red Velvet, Vanilla and Cookies ‘n’ Cream. There are Mini ones too!
The colourful collection is the most recent SS10 collection from Alldressedup. We are so proud to be the only stockists in Australia to have these international labels. Behind are our round and large change rooms, they really make you feel at home.
Our bag wall is decked with golden hands ( yes I sprayed them! Such a graffiti artist =)
I look forward to meeting you at the shop. Come right in and join us for a fun and luxurious shopping experience.
