Liberty of London

I was lucky enough to work just blocks away from the Liberty of London department store, so was able to pop in once a week to admire the amazing building and gaze longingly at all the beautiful products. I would buy hankies there for Nana and Daddy as little gifts to post home. Jacs sent through a link to a limited edition "White Silk Illustrated Shoe Shelf Scarf", designed by Manolo Blahnik for Liberty. It is so fun.

Bridge the Gap

Very excited - Gap is opening its first store in Sydney at 9:30am this morning! Very curious to see how it looks and cannot wait to pick up some basics - my very favourite white crew neck t-shirt.

Gucci Cruise

Was admiring the styling of the new Gucci Cruise line by the Saks Fifth Avenue online team. I would be very happy with a wardrobe full of these outfits. Everything looks flawless.

Special Occasion, or just need help?

Monday in Alstonville

Quick trip to Alstonville yesterday for a little Winter buying. Such a spectacularly green piece of countryside after all the rain over the last few weeks.

Popped into Gingerlilly which is a cute little shabby chic store with lots of little bits and pieces to admire. Worth a trip!

Saturday in Bangalow

A quick trip through Bangalow on our way to a delightful wedding in Murwillumbah at the beautiful Tweed River Art Gallery (thank you Marty and Alana).

Was so excited to be walking down the main street of Bangalow toward the pharmacy (the best pharmacy I have ever encountered, it's my favourite store in the whole town), to come across a carpet of rose petals! It was a temptation to turn left into the weekly farmers market and visit the beautiful rose farmer. So simple, but so effective, and of course I walked straight in!

Friday in Yamba

The Clarence Valley Council have a series of "Clarence Food" events this month, including the sensational Gate to Plate in Grafton.

On Friday across the road from the store we were lucky enough to have the "Edible Garden" on display and it was fabulous. (Well done Alicia). Very, very groovy.

King Karl makes a statement.

Karl Lagerfeld adds weight to the trend of unconventional models by choosing Ines de la Fressange, 53, for the Chanel catwalk. Ines de la Fressange, 53, who was Chanel's house model during the 1980s, returned to the Chanel catwalk, 21 years after parting ways with the Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld.
