Summer catch-up

Finally the rest of Australia has caught up with our weather!

This is my pick of the latest Country Road drop... looks like the focus is tribal (ikat print), utility (cargo/army) and a fresh summery blue.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Perfect for double denim

Trilby

Cloud print - great colour

Look familiar?

Cargo playsuit. So wrong its right.

Never been so excited to see - SWIMMERS!

Swimmers and a scarf...

Leaking

Leaked October 2010 Vogue AUSTRALIA cover with Codie Young in perfect purple Miu Miu

Could this be a new favourite? So pretty.

The exhibition is open until October 10.

Dion Lee S/S 10 dress. The fake "photographers" in the background of this shot are really cute!

Tim Blanks was a guest at 2010 Rosemount Australian Fashion Week. He was signed up for 25 shows over just 2 days! He also wrote up his verdict in Australian Vogue.

Dion Lee show bag and invitation to his amazing show at the Sydney Opera House. Interested to know what GHD goodies they got given!

Beautiful 2008 Michelle Jank dress. The (interesting) dress in the background is from the 2009 Romance Was Born collection

Sydney seasons

I took this photo about a month ago in Sydney. The ferris wheel isn't exactly novel (Paris, London, Melbourne, Brisbane... pick a city really) but I love the leaves stripped from the trees in this shot. Don't try and tell me Sydney doesn't get real seasons!

Life is a picnic

Mindal beach on my D60

Three cheers for the dry season

First photo of the night and probably my favourite

MULBERRYTREES

Mulberry is a British label known for its quality leather goods. They are one of the last British labels still manufacturing in the United Kingdom.

The Bayswater (seen above) is one of their most iconic bags.

The Alexa (seen below and named after Alexa Chung) is their latest "IT bag" offering.

Mulberry is also opening a Sydney store in November. With this in mind, I can't understand why Jigsaw would release the bag below.

BEATS

Miranda Kerr

David Jones replaced Ms Kerr (who was on her honeymoon) with the 5 models above.

Grecian or Art Deco?

A friend commented that I looked "grecian" wearing this. I was thinking Art Deco, but each to their own?

Freud

Stocked up on some Aesop when I was in Sydney.

"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar"

Love the little sayings they incorporate into their products, particularly this Freud quote.
