A great place for the travelling fashionista to rest her weary feet at night - The Charsfield, St Kilda Rd Melbourne Enjoyed sharing fashion places and gorgeous purchases from my visit down south but my friends, family and clients also love to hear where I found great coffee and wonderful places to eat whilst on the road, because they know ME and it is one of my passionate priorities.
I did enjoy scenery in Tasmania as well as trying on shoes! Tasman Arch towards Port ArthurFashion-wise when I travel I will wander into a lot of boutiques whereby I hone in on....always quality, not necessarily on sale but with the expectation that the item is well priced for its uniqueness and quality of workmanship, how it will work with my own label and most importantly how it makes me feel when I try it on.
With this in mind the highlights in Melbourne were a gorgeous coat from Dizinggof in Richmond and some great unique artsu tees from Rich Clothing in Fitzroy (which I have nearly worn everywhere, with a San Nizet skirt of course!]. The people who own this boutique are the loveliest people you would ever hope to meet.
My fav purchase from Hobart - spanish mikaela shoes, comfortable for walking too!Shoes? Lloyd in Collins..they loved me coming and I loved being there. Could talk about the very chunky Stuart Weitzman that was on sale and I really needed to have and it goes on, but it would be a very long blog. Thank goodness for the baggage restriction weight when flying.
Also aware I was heading down to Hobart and my sister has the inside knowledge on all the happenings and if she can't be with me, arms me with a well marked map!
Thought The Dispensary in Bidencopes Lane Hobart interesting combining holistic & realistic, whereby I picked up an unusual 'empire rose' skirt that wouldn't be like any in my San Nizet range and Retail Therapy in Murray St are always helpful. Found some great basics and unusual tights that I can wear for our 'whole' few months of winter and I hope to travel to some cold places this year! Must be going to travel cause I bought more funky tights at 'ci simon' - for male shopping as well - in a wonderful location at the IXL Atrium at the harbour.
Love my Lloyd's from Melbourne - can't wait to wear them!Shoes are honey and I am the bee ...loved the spanish suede leather ankle boot, mikaela label, purchased from M&A Mike and Alice central Hobart.
After spending much enjoyable time updating myself with the fashion houses down south I have come to the conclusion with the combined area of the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane we are lucky to have a wide array of choice of inspirational designs right at our doorstep. Like me though, you probably find it inspirational exploring new and revisiting old, so the places I have mentioned might be helpful to you.
So excited to also share with you the most gorgeous places I found with divine food, coffee and such ambience! But will put this into Part 2 of this blog as I am not fond of absorbing long blogs so figured you might be the same.
Till then
