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.

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!

Our boutique features a photo wall which sets a backdrop for our chic customers who don’t mind sharing a Kodak moment with us. We take photos of them and then feature them on our Shop Chic blog.
I will set an example and started the photo wall off.
Posing next to a mannequin wearing a Karla Spetic creation. The golden bow belt is from Alldressedup. I am wearing my Chloe pumps and vintage everything-else.
This is Jess, the beautiful creator of ‘What Would Karl Do? blog‘. She is the happy new owner of this divine Karla Spetic white silk dress. The chiffon one shouldered sleeve is so romantic. Jess has the Klein suede heels on from Repetto.
The orange scarf is actually a knitted skirt. It looks great as a bolero too.
I always have my camera ready, so come in and share some Shop Chic moments with us! We would love to snap you up!

Do you remember that same day my parents took me and Hermes to the beach? ( If you have forgotten you can read here) Well after the beach stop, Mommy shrilled in delight when she spotted a little house in the middle of nowhere.
Uncle Hermes and I are trying to find the entrance. It turned out it was an Uniting Church op-shop. Mommy was over-joyed.
She found heaps of goodies, look at the smile on her face. The ladies at the shop were so nice to me and Uncle Hermes. Mommy bought clothes, magazines, books, belts, plates and heaps more.
As we arrived at the next town, Mommy spotted another op-shop. However this one was closed. Look how crazy Mommy looks! She was so upset.
But she managed to spot another church garage sale across the road from the closed store. She has the sharpest nose for vintage shops! There was a sausage sizzle so Daddy and us had a great time. I love sausages!
