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/

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/
