Musician Styling: Melbourne kitsch meets 60s Modsquad

Dress Reform stylists collaborated with Gorman clothing, Estralia & photographer Kim Tonelli (Rolling Stone) to create the look for super talented Melbourne musician Emmy Bryce's soon to be released first single.

The leggy look is inspired by Twiggy, 60s Mod Squad era and Scandinavian Street Style. Em is wearing Gorman Majour Weave Dress & patent navy Mary Jane platforms from their latest collection, vintage Etro bracelet and porcelin ring made by Deidre Hoban sourced from Estralia. 

Melodic, honest, humorous and beautiful Emmy's music is reminiscent of Regina Spektor and Angie Hart with a folk flair. Emmy's Song's are about desperate women, really big ghosts and losing loved once.... which we can all relate to in some way.... I am sure you will be bopping along as I have been! Here is a sneak preview of her first songs - listen at Triple J Unearthed.

Vintage Nordic look - Copenhagen

Absolutely adore the androgynous cool of the stunning Marie-Louisa - I snapped her outside Time's Up Vintage boutique in Copenhagen.

I was like a little girl in a lolly shop when I entered the beautiful boutique stocking YSL, Chanel, Valentino, Gucci and Versace as well as other non-designer pieces that are truly unique. The store is a mecca for the city's stylists and for designers from around the world who want to be inspired by the past.

Owner Jesper Richardy, describes the collection as …"A sort of Nordic look, sometimes combined with daring high voltage glamour, but always with an undeniable focus on quality, cut and fabrics."

I am totally inspired by this and I hope you will be too! 

With the weather in Copenhagen being a bit like Melbourne (4 seasons in one day) I invested in an Acquascutum pale green trench and vintage belt. My other other top pics included for you below and if you can't quite make it to Copenhagen you can order online at www.timesupshop.com and they ship to Australia!

If you are in Copenhagen you can find it on cobbled laneway right near Henrik Vibskov boutique on Krystalgade.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow…

My appreciation for enchanting shoes began right about the same time as my obsession with Judy Garland and The Wizard of Oz.

I’m not sure what it was about those ruby red slippers that was so hypnotizing. Was it the exaggerated sparkle on the big screen, or their fanciful powers?

Whatever it was, they were an extraordinary vision. I can’t help but get the same sensation from Miu Miu’s new season glitter pumps!

There’s no place like Miu Miu

There’s no place like Miu Miu

There’s no place like Miu Miu

Très Chic

While Lora oozes us with her envious ventures through Berlin, I’ve decided to hype myself up for the three remaining weeks I have left in Melbourne.  

It began with  sounds of Edith Piaf roaring through my speakers this morning, followed by a colourful display of images from the chic boutique hotel waiting for my September arrival, in Saint Germain des Près.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you Hotel Le Belle Juliette!! Everything I envisage Paris to be and more.

Butterfly Soul Fire

I found the most beautiful and unique silk black dress for my friend Georgina to wear to a chic wedding in Istanbul at Berlin boutique label Butterfly Soul Fire.

I also me one half of the label's design duo - the lovely Designer Thoas Linder who explained to me the difference between east and west Berlin style. I loved the way he accessorised with one leather glove and layered beads and scarfe with the brown leather boots. The latest men's collection takes a view of the world where clothing is less ordinary. Based on black and white tones, the pieces are about draping, structure and deconstruction. Take a peek at Butterfly Soul Fire's latest collection - Butterflysoulfire

Thoas tells me style in the west is more head to toe designer and men dress in white shirts and chinos while women parade in italian style brands like Prada and Gucci. In the east however - people splurge on one or two key designer pieces and style them with vintage and market finds.

And a funny way to tell if you are in west or east Berlin is by the style of the green man and red man traffic signals. The chubbier green or red symbols with a hat means you are in East Berlin. The slim red or green man with no hat means you are in the west. Even the traffic symbols in this city have their own style!
