Do you remember I wore these incredible Lui Hon feather leggings a little while back for 2 events which fell on the same night - the Camilla & Marc launch and the Stonnington Fashion parade? Well I was discussing with girlfriends at the show that we need to be more daring with our outfits. We are so blessed with a myriad of amazing and creative designers here in Australia, we shouldn’t always opt for the common and safe pieces! So one dared me to go to the supermarket wearing my feather pants. “Is that a challenge?” Alright, it’s on!
So we ducked into the local Woolworths to prove that show pieces are totally suitable for running every day errands including grocery shopping. Ok so I did get a few concerned glances from fellow shoppers, probably wondering about the source of the feathers…but at least they got the message: dress for yourself, be as brave as you can, and have a ball!
I hope you have enojyed these fun photos, especially the one of me holding a chicken…
And if you’re free next Sunday October 9th I will be holding a store at Take 2 Market at Hawthorn Town Hall where I will be selling many designer and vintage goodies like my green belt in the photos! Please come to help me spring clean my wardrobe. Sarah of Sarah Style Emporium and Irish from Style Zilla will be there too. Woot! Can’t wait!
Take 2 Market at Hawthorn Town Hall (corner Glenferrie & Burwood Road) October 9th Sunday 10-3, add it to your diaries. See you there lovelies!

Many of our customers were banking on the Karla Spetic printed Windmill dress. And it’s no wonder. Karla makes the most beautiful and unique printed pieces each season, see her sweet romantic ones from AW10. This collection, titled ‘Centre’ draws inspiration from the Australian outback.
But guess what? Karla has made the print into LEGGINGS and blazers too! Yes we are super excited all right! Now everyone can wear Australian culture on their legs!
Take your pick, blush pink polka-dot or the windmill print!
And for those who have not been informed, we have just launched our E-Boutique!

I love dressing our mannequins so much that I’ve added ‘Mannequin dressing’ to one of my hobbies now. These girls make us proud, somehow they manage to make every 3rd walk-on-by stop to have a closer look at them. At first I thought because our windows weren’t clean, but I think it’s because of their outfits.
Left: Gail Sorronda silk dinner jacket, Karla Spetic hand-knitted Merino wool skirt (as top), Aris Geldis Paris Swarovski crystal necklace, Antonia Goy wool leggings
Right: Alldressedup shirt and belt, Karla Spetic silk skirt, Repetto slingback booties.
This dress would be familiar to you, because it was pictured here… I can’t wait to wear mine to a friend’s wedding later in the year. But meanwhile why not layer it with a grey Bezoar Cashmere jumper?

Every woman wear opaque tights. We all own a couple of pairs which faithfully hug our lower half and keep us warm in the winter months. But how many of us are daring enough to try coloured or patterned patterns, and wear them well? A funky pair of stockings can really transform an outfit. You can tell some one’s personality by looking at their tights. My favourite tights are opaque tights with little black dots all over them. I think they’re very sweet. I have compiled a series of gorgeous legging photos for you. Hope you become inspired enough to throw on some crazy ones and hit the streets with a smile on your face.
Tell me, how many times have you seen a pretty young lady in blue tights? Thumbs up for her bravery for not being afraid to look like someone from AVATAR. Love the neckline detail of her LBD too.
Holly Garber, the stylish PR person for young Australian designers Marnie Skillings and Josh Goot sitting pretty in Sydney. I adore this outfit! Is it her Alexander Wang jumper or those Givenchy sandals or those hot hot sheer leggings? They’re going on my lust list right now.
Cuteness! The polka-dots on her stockings remind me of Maltezers. She looks a little like Jessica Hart. Nice blue frames and red bag.
Here is the gorgeous Rachel of That’s Chic. Sitting under the autumn sun in O.C wearing a vintage Ralph Lauren wool blazer, American Apparel skirt, Urban Outfitters tights and Giuseppe Zanotti wedges. Her tights are rad!
Ah! These are what I’m talking about! She is wearing my favourite stockings! Opaque with small dots. These are the cutest and safest transition from the traditional black tights to something more funky and fun. Big ticks for her bow front blouse and leather shorts and the Chloe Edith bag.
Gorgeous gold jacket and pouch bag! But what caught my eye are her 2 tone stockings! So chic and unique! You go girl!
Yes I’ve saved the best for last! What a beauty! Love her cheeky smile and of course these gorgeous stockings! Love love love! Which one has been your favourite?
