Hello Sydney

Sydneysiders, we are in town this week. Drop FJ a line if you'd like to catch up for a coffee.



Any tips on your favourite shopping spots? We always love some sneaky retail therapy between meetings!

And lastly, are there any locations you think we should be distributing to that we aren't already? Boutiques, cafes, hair salons etc! Distribution is totally free, just email us with an expression of interest.

Bul Store Opening

Last night the girls from the FJ office dropped into the Bul store opening for a couple of drinks (and yummy nibblies).

We adored not only the clothes, but the shoes and bags were to die for. Really, really want these pieces. Might have to wait til next week though. Pay day was only yesterday and the funds are already looking a bit low.

We also had the pleasure of meeting the designer Virginia who looked absolutely stunning in Bul - not only a brilliant designer but the perfect brand ambassador. Such a sweetie too. Melbournians, definitely check out her store. Everyone else, jump on the website. http://bul.com.au/

Dore Embraces Australian Designers

Garance Dore, fashion illustrator, photographer, blogger and so so much more is exhibiting her new work in Melbourne until Sunday the 23rd of May.

This style icon has been commissioned to create a series of fashion illustrations to reflect the 2010 Winter collections of Australia's leading designers. The spirit of prominent designers such as Bettina Liano, Gorman, Zimmerman and Arthur Galan are apparent through Garance's care free illustrations. We absolutely adore them!

The ‘Winter with Westfield by Garance Dore’ exhibition is on display at Westfield Doncaster, 619 Doncaster Road.

Sydney Trip

Last week the FJ girls spent a couple of days in Sydney traipsing the streets checking out retailers and having countless coffees with clients. Not that we are complaining - we love visiting our Sydney friends.

I made a quick, sneaky purchase at at Lucette's boutique on William St Paddington on my way to a meeting - a cute drapey silk jacket with military inspired buttons. I can't find a pic of it on their online store, I'll have to take a pic soon. Lucette is stocked nationally (including David Jones stores).

If you live in Sydney or visiting check out their flagship boutique at 23 William Street
Paddington or shop online here: http://lucette.mdz.com.au/

Stuff We've Bought This Week

We thought we'd start a regular section where we share what we've bought for the week (all purchases big and small). Last week we discovered nellie&me.com.au. If you are a shoe lover (and who isn't really?!) this site is definitely one to check out. I've been on the look out for a pair of over the knee boots for the past month. After a few indiscretions of late where I've forked out a bit too much for shoes (whoops), I was looking for something that wouldn't break the bank.

I decided on the Danielle boots in black suede - they retail for $229.95 but if you subscribe to the mailing list before the 16th May and enter NELLIE10 at the checkout you get 10% off.

They arrived yesterday (super quick shipping) and come wrapped in the most adorable paper and in a cute shoebox.

Next on my winter wish list is this silk velvet dress from Lady Petrova. Love. I think I will be pulling out the credit card today...

'Street' Wise pick of the week: Winter in WA

Stand Clothing, the brand stemmed from Western Australia has released it's major range for the Autumn/Winter 2010. Originated in 2003 by Paul Fields and Orion Taylor, the label was actually born in Las Vegas and it's roots are apparent to this day

The latest collection provides some show-stopping Tees, dress shirts and an impressive cut of fleeced hoods, perfect for those cold, chilled-out Sundays down the pub.
