At my bloggerversary party, I had the pleasure of having a quiz for the bloggers and fashionistas. I love fashion trivia, all those years of reading Vogue and Harpers should not go to waste. The 5 fashion questions were:
1. What does the ’3.1′ in 3.1 Phillip Lim mean?
2. Who was Alexander McQueen’s muse?
3. Who are the designers of Twenty8Twelve?
4. What did Diane Kruger do before acting?
5. What nationality is Felder Felder?
Do you think you know the answers? They will be revealed in the next post…
Some questions were more difficult than others, but the clever Kimberley (left, creator of Dream. Delight. Inspire blog) got the answers and won herself an Alldressedup gold bag key ring valued at $87. Here she is enjoying the aroma of Chanel No. 5 pamphlet while Sarah, of Sarah’s Style Emporium stops to admire the latest Chloe campaign in the May issue of Vogue Australia.
Here are some good looking fashionista friends, featuring Roger Ouk, designer of Thyvane. Don’t you love his glasses? More on them in the next post…
Karl, on the right designed his shirt. It’s difficult to see in this photo but his cuffs and collars have slits in them and have ‘K’ embroidered on them!
A candid shot of the beautiful couple…and me.
Thanks to hubby for the photos, who was my favourite accessory of the night, despite the Chloe shoes I raved on about in the previous post. His favourite accessory, of course, is his Sony SLR.

Recently I had my bloggerversary party as my blog turned one years old! The theme was ‘favourite accessory’ so after much debate, I decided to debut my red Chloe pumps.
I’m wearing a Felder Felder silk dress from their Fall09 collection, which is difficult to believe as their current collection is so hip and hardcore. This dress has more subtle elegance and no one could believe that it was made by the Felder sisters. We had a customer who came and bought the sparkly Felder Felder dress (see the mannequin behind me)!
We had plenty of cupcakes, sushi and champers. I’m wearing my favourite self-made necklace, my favourite belt (gift from a bestie for my 18th) and my vintage pearl bracelet.
And here is the beautiful Jess in the Gail Sorronda Vashti dress, Hermes bangles, Chanel clutch and YSL pumps. She looks dazzling. The mannequin has a Spijkers en Spijkers dress, an Alldressedup silicon bow belt and a Bezoar Cashmere V-neck jumper on.
Shoe envy alert! I’m caging in.
Jess was so sweet to attend despite the fact that she had to go to a ball! And she was no doubt the Belle of the Ball.

We had another shindig in our first week of opening. I frocked up and wore a sparkly Felder Felder dress. It is simply stunning and it is lined with silk! It was great, I didn’t need to wear any jewelery. Felder Felder have a huge celebrity following. The German twin sisters Annette and Danny of the London label count Madonna, Gwyneth Paltrow and Rhianna as their fans. I’m a little star-struck just wearing this dress!
A different group of friends came and rocked our shop. We were fed our signature cupcakes and the champagne kept coming. Here are some photos from the night.
Here I am with Roger! He is the creator of uber-cool neckwear label Thyvane. I adore his glasses.
My beautiful vet friends now can see why I’m so obsessed with my boutique.
You would have seen Gooey from this post. I’m wearing my Chloe pumps.
Now you know what I love in life- fashion, friends and cupcakes!

When our boutique opened, friends and family flocked for a little party. There were lots of finger food, beautiful conversations and warm memories from that night. It was so sweet to see so much support from our loved ones.
This is Jin – my lovely graphic designer who designed our shop logo, see here. You will see that she has incorporated the cupcake, the bow as well as coat hangers onto our frame. These embody ‘sweet, chic, boutique.’
Jin is so sweet she even got me a celebratory cupcake, even though we had gorgeous ones made by Cupcake Central.
The icing is the same colour as my jacket! I ate it in 2 bites.
Jin’s admiring the light shoulder pads in a Felder Felder bodycon dress.
Here is the beautiful Vicki. You would have seen here on this post.
Here I am delivering an emotional thank-you speech to family and friends. I’m wearing a navy jumpsuit I got from Paris, vintage brooch and Zara blazer.
Jin’s amazing big bag is a vintage find. Vicki snatched up a beautiful silk clutch from Alldressedup that night. Our boutique would not be alive without the love and support of our friends. I love you all!
