Spring Summer collection showings are in full swing at the moment and after visiting Raoul last week I popped in to see the lovely folks at Bam Brands.
I've been really sick this weekend, which is handy in a way because it means your work week isn't interrupted. Not a great deal can be done about my health or the weather however so as I lay on the couch today I thought about some of my favourite things that I use every day or that make me happy.
Recently I caught up with the creative director of Cloud Nine Australia Lauren McCowan who spent last year living and working in New York. You can check out her superb work here not to mention her blog- we love that!
I was first introduced to the Raoul label on a trip to Singapore for Audi Fashion Week last year. It was great to discover a label that could translate to the Melbourne climate and so far I think this is my favourite collection.
While on a recent shopping expedition I happened upon a lovely dress in Zara. The ‘S’ hadn't fit, the ‘M’ was snug and the ‘L’ was perfect. The only other size available was XL.
If you have ever felt like this when shopping, you’re not alone. Women face this problem everyday in shops all over Australia, as there is no standard clothing size used in the Australian fashion industry.
...or brains are sexy, so says The Gardener.
I thought that was quite funny because we all read don't we but it is nice to talk about what's on our current reading lists.
