HELP WANTED! WHERE TO SHOP IN MELBOURNE?

This coming Saturday 22nd November I will be flying from my hometown of Sydney to Melbourne for 4 glorious days off work aka 4 glorious days of shopping! Having never been before (yes, a very sad fact and also sad to admit online) I was wondering does anyone have any advice as to what stores you’d recommend?

I wear anything from designer labels to good quality vintage pieces and everything in-between!

THE FINDERS KEEPERS SPRING/SUMMER MARKETS

For Sydneysiders it seems that our skies are in some kind of confused limbo. The warm weather that I’ve been eagerly awaiting just hasn’t settled in yet. Or we’ve been hit with scorching heat one day and been drenched in pouring rain the next. There just hasn’t been any stability for me to be able to plan a day out doing one of my favourite pastimes - going to the markets.

Fortunately, I can no

THE RETURN OF THE MAXI DRESS

You’re either loving them or running in the opposite direction.

Looks like the staple of summer ‘07 wasn’t a fashion cast-off after all as we watch the cheapest to the most expensive stores again fill their floors with the desired maxi dress for the current sizzling season.

When they first arrived a year ago, the trend was somewhat shaky and most fashion writers didn’t gush as they u

DESIGNER PROFILE: 3.1 PHILLIP LIM

The Philip Lim customer is smart about the clothes she brings home to her wardrobe. She considers clothes as something to wear and not just to look at. Although standing out from the crowd is her secret hidden agenda, she chooses a classy ensemble that is unique and well-made rather than the latest trend sent down the runway. That way she can wear it throughout the year regardless of season and when people compliment her, she’ll smi

SOLE-SEARCHING: “KEDGES”

Have the heavens parted and answered our prayers for podiatric salvation?

This past Saturday night I found myself road testing the latest ‘It’ shoe. If a subtle kitten heel and a strong sturdy wedge had a foolish tryst, their resulting lovechild would be the ‘kedge’.

They are quite odd-looking at first and appear more sculptural than wearable. From the front, they look like your norm

I WANT: STELLA MCCARTNEY SPRING/SUMMER 2009

A round of applause for Stella McCartney please! No, wait. Make that a standing ovation.

Presenting a collection you couldn’t dream up, Stella McCartney has stolen the show during the recent fashion shows in Paris and Milan with her latest Spring/Summer 2009 collection. Flesh, dusty pink and blue tones create the perfect palette for summer days while black and white rule for eveningwear.

SEX & THE CITY FASHION RELEASE AT MYER

Mark this date in your diaries ladies: Thursday, 16th October 2008.

Since confirmation was received in May this year, the name on every woman’s lips has been Patricia Field as we count down (3 sleeps to go!) to her collection’s release in Myer department stores across Australia. Entitled “Destination Style New York” the range encapsulates Field’s world of fashion; her hometown strongly influen
