Crush on Erdem

Erdem's debut season had the most amazing floral prints, blurred just a little bit at the edges.

His most recent season [above] has similar prints, but they are sharper, crazy-vibrant.

Of his collection, Moralioglu says "I really didn't want anything blurred this season. I wanted it to have a surreal focus."

Prada jealousy

Just some of the reasons I'm jealous of Jane Aldridge (creator of the Sea of Shoes blog):

1. Her recent Prada Purchases in Paris (see attached picture).

2. Style.com arranged for her to go to 31 Rue Cambon for a personal fitting & styling session at Chanel for her deb ball dress (see here.)

3. I've only just started following her blog, but based on the above I'm sure there will be more reasons to come...

Two reasons I'm not jealous of Jane Aldridge from the Sea of Shoes blog:

1. She lives in Dallas. [*Evil laugh* tee hee.]

2. She had to go to a deb ball.

Jak & JIl

Jak & Jil blogger Tommy Ton took over The Sartorialist's job as Style.com blogger at the recent fashion weeks.

He is definitely more "fashiony" and its nice to have a new approach.

Brunch

Brunch is my favourite meal of the day. Coffee, eggs and laziness is a great combination.

Unfortunately in Canberra, there is a shortage of quality lakeside brunch destinations. For example, The Deck was uninspiring and overpriced. The eggds benedict literally drowned in hollandaise. The boy took the smart option and opted for a burger.

I haven't even bothered with Waters Edge - do they even do brunch?

However, I've found somewhere that looks quite interesting - Axis at the National Gallery. Take a squiz at the brekkie menu here.

I'm on a boat

How long is an appropriate time for a Christmas party cruise?

Sydney Harbour for the tourist - 3 hours

Sydney Harbour for the jaded Sydney-sider - 2 hours

Anywhere in the Greek islands - unlimited, preferably

Milford Sound, New Zealand - a few days

Lake Burley Griffin for the drinker - as long as the alcohol keeps coming

Lake Burley Griffin for the designated driver - 2 hours

As you might have guessed, I recently went on a cruise of Lake Burley Griffin (LBG to the initiated). After about an hour and half we had enjoyed ourselves, but were quite ready to disembark and get some shut-eye (and for dinner - but that's another story). Call it old age.

So I was quite pleased when the boat docked at the sailing club at the 2 hour mark. Two hours is plenty of time to spend with a bunch of lawyers.

Then they started loading drinks onto the boat.

And the rubbish off the boat.

Before we knew it - we were leaving the dock - there was another hour left!

Moral to the story?
