Party ’round my neck, Part 1.

There’s nothing better than updating your outfit with a few accessories, as you may have gathered from my previous posts, I happen to be having a ‘rainbows and unicorns’ love affair with my suburb.  Gone are the days of standing in an overcrowded Westfield trying to get to your favourite store via screaming 3 year old chucking a tanty in the food court and the snooty high schoolers making out in front of Big W.  I feel extremely blessed to be within seconds of James Street and have sternly advised my husband that he just has to keep earning more money in order to avoid exile to the outskirts of the city once I’m up the duff. Please Lord, let me never leave this sanctuary of great coffee and gorgeous shops! Speaking of which, all the accessories featured in this fashion series are all James Street Precinct-ers, I guarantee that if you do visit – you will be hooked to their inspiring goodies.

In this series I have styled a simple Bassike tee, Arizona pleat skirt from General Pants and last season’s RMK Dakota thigh highs with the lovely wares of Alexis Dawn, Melange Boutique and Mediterranean Living.  Be sure to check each of these stores out!

Fiesta fever!

I recently popped into Camilla’s new Brisbane boutique, which is oh so too conveniently located walking distance from home and I was completely MESMERIZED by the decor and the new AW12 collection.

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful Camilla at Marie Claire’s James St Up Late, she was the most humble/energetic/passionate and hard working woman I have ever met. Since when do you see a big shot designer working the till like pro? I was IM-PRESSED!!! As I was with the changeroom decor…wait…did I mention the changeroom decor? Haha.
