SWIM - new witchery edit

Living right opposite Bondi beach I’m totally across the need for a good swimsuit. My morning routine includes a walk across the kilometer long stretch of golden sand to Icebergs pool where I do laps in the beautiful open air saltwater pool. Ok, so the walk is more of a stroll and laps is less […]

Holidays with Macquarie centre

Summer in Australia is so magical to me, because it summons pictures of sandy bums, al fresco lunches, beach parties, barbecues with friends, New Year fireworks, pool slides and a sweltering Santa. Sartorially, it is always a time for me to do a major closet shuffle and realise that I have nothing to wear for all […]

SPRING INTO RACING WITH REBECCA VALLANCE

Rebecca Vallance is one of Australia's newest premier designers with international clout. Since showing on schedule at New York Fashion Week in February 2014, her structured tailoring and luxurious fabrications have catapulted her as one of our latest fashion exports. What I love about Rebecca's clothes is that they are sexy and strong yet elegant, […]

The 'W' Edit : Resort Styling

As soon as the weather gets enticingly warm, my mind evokes pictures of weekends away lazing on windswept beaches, dancing under brightly coloured lanterns, midnight swims, and salty beach hair. Holidays are the best part of summer but planning the right outfits for a chic escape can be tricky. My holiday styling tip this season […]

TIME WARP - why going back in time is the new chic

When Nicolas Ghesquiere became the new creative director of Louis Vuitton, the fashion fan inside of me did some serious cheerleading. His previous work for Balenciaga was always ahead of its time – relevant, modern and supplemented with incredible accessories. I was hoping this was going to be the case at LV and with […]

IBIZA DREAMING

Voyaging to Ibiza had always been my dream - that island where Spanish summers are hot, cocktails are cold, beaches are beautiful and parties unforgettable. Before I left, my friends retold their stories and added how there are many Ibizas to discover - each time they went they found a new place awaited them. This […]

WILD ABOUT PANTHERE

Celebrating 100 years of the iconic Cartier Panther collection. In Paris recently whilst on holidays, I visited the elegant Rue de la Paix Cartier butique with my daughter Coco to put my beloved Santos watch in for a service. We ended up spending nearly an hour in the store admiring the incredible Panthére collection on […]

YOUTHQUAKE

Remember the Youthquake ? No? Neither do I - I was nowhere near being born when this phenomenon of the 1960s resulted in a cultural change encompassing culture, music and fashion. Where fashion was once dictated by the rich, it became all about rebellious teenagers, Beetles and Mod, designers started making clothes for teenagers and […]

LINEAR

You don’t have to be an expert in geometry or a mathematical genius to see spring’s bright linear future. This is a trend that is clean, fresh, modern, and in OCD terms tidy (boy, my boyfriend loves that word). Importantly, this is a look that goes beyond the term trend because it is universally re-workable; […]

SHINE ON

Never was I the sort of little girl that admitted to liking anything remotely girly, shiny or sparkly. My childhood hero was Sheena Queen of The Jungle, a fierce warrioress feared by men who could speak to animals. There was no time to waste on flounce and gloss when days were already kept busy by splitting […]

MODERN FOLK

With my love of vintage clothes and furniture, there also comes a determination in scouring every backwater charity shop with a lingering smell of moth balls for items that might fit my obsession with unusual colour combinations. I get giddy when I spot just the right shade of mustard. I go absolutely wild when I […]

GO GREEN: HOW TO ADD THE COMEBACK COLOUR TO YOUR WARDROBE THIS SEASON

Green is one of those colours that has a pretty bad reputation as being an unflattering colour, but is it true? The autumn/winter '14/'15 runways from Gucci, Balmain and Isabel Marant were awash with green in multiple shades and the colour worked. Whether khaki or jewel-toned green, the palette looked beautiful paired with burgundy, […]

METALLICA : how to wear metallics now

Ziggy played for time, jiving us that we were Voodoo The kids was just crass, He was the naz With God given ass He took it all too far But boy could he play guitar... Not to mention could David Bowie write a mean song! I have been wiling away this Queen's birthday long weekend […]

THE NEW NUDE

Pink has turned subversive this season in the many incarnations that bear interesting names; there is powder pink, sideshow rose, new york pink, champagne pink and silver pink that work beautifully tonally with the quirkily named beiges such as desert sand and cosmic latte, brown shades such as camel, fawn and wheat, whites such as […]

GIRLS KEEP SWINGIN'

David Bowie sang : "Heaven loves ya, The clouds part for ya, Nothing stands in your way when you're a boy" and that may be true but even if women today are still treated like possessions, abused, murdered and taken advantage of, I still, deep down , feel completely privileged and honored to be a woman. […]

MEL on TORY BURCH BLOG

Tory Burch is an American label best known for it's preppy boho luxe aesthetic and clean but elegant tailoring. I have long admired Tory Burch the woman and philanthropic owner behind the business for her work which supports the economic empowerment of women in the U.S. through small business loans, mentoring and entrepreneurial education, not […]
