It’s not everyday you get to hang out with the Wise Men from the East. Couldn’t find the third, so I’ve become a substitute. But I’m not wise enough to tell you which one is presenting the gold, myrrh or frankincense though…
I had the privilege of playing piano for my parent’s church. The beautiful blue stone church was once again a great back drop for some blog photos. I came here a while back to play piano for a friend’s wedding as well.
Outfit: vintage black lace top (Ebay, I got it for $1!! ONE DOLLAR!), Chloe horse shoe necklace, Les Petites dress (worn as jacket, because my top is pretty sheer on the back), Karla Spetic skirt, vintage shoes, Damselfly tiger ring.
I’ve been meaning to wear this Les Petites dress I got from Paris last March, but never found an occasion, so I wore it was a vest instead :)
How’s 2011 been treating you all? Have you all stuck to your New Year Resolutions? :) Do share!

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!

We cannot wait to get our little hands on these stunning epulets and capelets from Damselfly. The name of her new collection is just as striking ‘I hate myself for loving you.’ The inspiration behind this collection is being able to jazz pup any outfit with jewelery for clothes. This collection is so wearable and adds edginess to pretty much anything. You don’t need to invest in a sequined gown to stand out in the crowd. Most pieces can be worn in different ways- as capelets and as neck pieces. They are all hand-made in Melbourne. Highly versatile, highly covetable.
Worn here with a vintage French horn necklace, cashmere T shirt and Karla Spetic’s Lily skirt.

Ever since September 2009, the first time I laid eyes on a skirt from Karla Spetic’s AW10 collection at the show room, I could not wait until we had it in our boutique. This skirt, named ‘Lily’, has finally arrived! I’ve been wearing it nearly everyday. I shouldn’t be biased but it’s my favorite piece from her current collection. The printed silk is so pretty, and the full-skirt is so much fun! Here it is in the March issue of Vogue Australia. The whole set is so cute!
Karla’s skirt is 100% silk and even the lining is silk! She is the only designer I know who uses silk to line all her garments. It’s incredible!
Here I am enjoying a cup of English Breakfast in a vintage Weiss shirt, vintage belt, the ‘Lily’ skirt and Marc Jacobs butterfly booties. This was the first time I wore them since their purchase in August last year.
Recently we got a side board for the shop and we put all the labels we stocked on it. We did not leave out our mini cupcakes!
This is the gorgeous Karla Spetic herself. She is an amazing designer, who pays meticulous attention to her cuts (many of her tailored pieces are professionally made by a tailor), fabrics (all her garments are silk, wool, cashmere or cotton) and the make (all garments are made in Australia)
I cannot help but see the resemblance between the beautiful designer herself (in the photo above) and the prettily painted girls on the skirt. The Croatian designer is a stunner. She is creative and her clothes are so feminine and so wearable. We are so lucky to be her biggest stockist in Melbourne!
