Hello hello dear! An exquisite jewellery gift-away awaits you!
I am so thankful to the beautiful Jane Hayes who introduced me to the ladies at Edenborough Evans. Ever since meeting Anna at the Arabella Ramsay VIP night where I purchased a DIY-engrave necklace, I’ve been besotted with their striking jewellery line, inspired by wax seals from Renaissance and Medieval eras. Literally I have spent hours drooling over their online store.
I caught up with the ladies recently and it turns out that we attended the same high school. Already being picked up by major department stores and boutiques across the globe, Anna and Kate are still the sweetest and most down-to-earth girls you’ll meet. I asked about the name of their label. ‘Edenborough was our mother’s maiden name. She passed away a few years ago from cancer, and Evans is the last name of our friend, Jo Evans, an incredibly stylish lady and socialite, who unfortunately also passed away from cancer.’ Fighting back tears and emotions, I cling tigher to my DIY necklace. Edenborough Evans jewellery evokes precious memories and embraces rich European traditions.
Outfit: Dress by vintage designer Ricki Reed (a look-alike here!), vintage bracelet and belt, Sportsgirl headband, self-made earrings, Jerome Dreyfuss bag, Chloe shoes
I was stoked when they gifted me with these 2 gorgeous Vine rings. They retail at $155, are 18-K gold and sterling-silver plated, are also adjustable. As much as I am tempted to keep both, I would like to share one with you. Since I love them both, I am giving you the option to chose whichever one (gold or silver) you like. This gift-away is open to my readers all over the world. All you need to do is:
- Like Edenborough Evans’ Facebook here
- Share this blog post on your Facebook wall.
- Please leave a comment below indicating whether you wish to have the gold or silver ring
The winner will be announced on Monday 28th November 2011. Have fun choosing and take a squiz at the entire Edenborough Evans collection here!
Have a gorgeous weekend! xx

A little while ago my beautiful cousin from Canberra (you would have seen her in her Wedding post here) came down to Melbourne so I could take her shopping. It was such a fun day! We started on High St Armadale at our boutique, then we went to a few of our favourite shops: Harlem, Hokey Curator, ate macaroons at La Tropezienne and cupcakes at the Cupcake Central cafe. Ah how we indulged…
Whilst Evane was trying on garments I got a few sneak pics, it was my first time wearing this amazing vintage Hiroko Koshino skirt. My mother-in-law gave it to me, along with the cape . This Japanese designer is STILL around and creating amazing pieces. I would love to visit her stores in Japan or Taiwan, where fashion is beautifully married with art. Ah…one day :)
Vintage shirt, belt, bracelet and earrings, Sportsgirl shoes, YSL ring and Hiroko Koshino skirt, in our change room.
I love being a personal stylist – this is an outfit I chose for Evane and it is her favourite outfit – Karla Spetic silk top, Amy Kaehne silk shorts (which I also have and featured in this post) and purple patent Repetto Klein pumps. Great legs!
After our shopping expedition, we headed to the Japanese Summer Festival, stay tuned for the next post :)
For me, there is not such thing as ‘Shop Til You Drop’, my shopping stamina has never let me down, that’s why I love shopping and love taking friends shopping! As long as I can shop, I forget about hunger, anxieties…worries.. :) A colleague recently compared me to a Duracell Bunny because of my unceasing vitality. So if you ever need a shopping buddy, give me a shout!

While I was waiting for the models to be dolled up for the Denim Shoot, hubby pointed the lens at me for a few shots. I picked up this pink jumper for $1 from a vintage market, yes one dollar! Just like this gem here. So yeah, that’s what I do when I’m waiting around during shoots. If hubby is not there, then I play games on my ipad :)
Outfit: vintage jumper, vintage Prada belt, Nudie jeans, Sportsgirl wedges
