Master Couturier

 ELIE SAAB's 2011 Spring Collection is to die for! I have always been such a fan, but he just keeps getting better, and I don't know how it is possible! He is a legend of the gown and one day I will be rich enough to own one of his creations.
These are my favourites...

fashion and its bodily function

Dressing is the fourth bodily function. After breathing, eating and sleeping - and excluding a couple of delicious extras - one of the fundamental pleasures of the human body is to clothe it. Which makes fashion - it's  closest relation - pretty important.

The history of fashion touches everyone in its orbit. It runs far, far deeper than hemlines, silhouettes and colours. It is intrinsically caught up with social mores and mood changes in everything from food mannerisms, music and sex. It lives and exists not only as one of the most ravishing and compelling of entertainment but as the surest indicator of time.

an afternoon in beautiful Melbourne

Yesterday we decided to take advantage of the last of summer by having a picnic in the beautiful Fitzroy Gardens in Melbourne city. It also was a perfect day for capturing the unique Melbourne scape. 

Unlike anywhere else in the world I have visited, Melbournians have an unwavering appreciation of culture, food and fashion, always embracing the young, the local, the weird and unique. There doesn't seem the be clique or fashion fads of other cities. Sure there are little packs of trends followers, but we love them too. And there is the weather. Its not unusual to begin a day in a bikini at breakfast, leggings by lunch and back to a mini dress by dinner. So I guess you can say there is one trend accessory that a smart melbournian lady will have, and thats a big handbag!
