Fashion as Art

An amazing online purchase arrived in the mail a little while back; a sleeveless, silk digital printed shirt by Jolet. Jolet is the eponymous label of Jolet Ucchino, a Melbourne based designer, who has received accolades for her outstanding designs and digital prints.  

This digital print, entitled Lucid Dream, encapsulates the very essence of Summer; warm, balmy nights, silhouettes walking along the beach, the sunset reflecting on the waters below.  




Every collection created by Jolet is based on the emotive side of art. Moods captured within each piece, allow you to interpret the artistic meaning that lies therein.




Besides the very fact this garment is made from the highest quality silk and the most technologically advanced digital printing techniques, what I love most about this garment, is its versatility. The range of styling options are endless. I get rather excited when I find a garment that works with many things already in my existing wardrobe!

I'm really looking forward to seeing Jolet's new Autumn/Winter 12 collection! If the previous collection is anything to go by, I'm certain this next one will be just as amazing!    

Do you own a garment that is a work of art, like I do? I'd love to know all about it!

Yours in style,

Suzi x 

What I'm Wearing: Jolet Lucid Dream silk sleeveless shirt (available now online), RM Williams jeans, Repetto Norma Decol AD suede/patent leather flats in cuba-donald.

    Thanks for your comment Chloe! At present, Jolet has an online store only. However, there are several stockists in the Melbourne area that carry her label. You may wish to check out her website for location details-http://jolet.com.au/

    I'm absolutely in love with that blouse! I actually bought one just like it awhile ago and had to return it because...well I have a shopping addiction and I'd overspent haha. But I always regretted it! So pretty!

      Aww..that's terrible about your blouse. Shopping can be quite addictive though & sometimes we can get lost in the moment. You never know, you may see something like it again down the track. I do enjoy browsing, but it's hard when you find something you absolutley adore and it's way beyond your price range!!

gelati in the gardens

I was joking with my better half about the outfit I chose to wear to our special family reunion. We needed to travel into the city to the Fitzroy Gardens, and on our journey, we kept eachother entertained by thinking of gelati flavours which matched my oufit. In the end we decided upon raspberry, strawberry, vanilla & mango! The morning was quite fresh, so I decided to wear a layer of silk/cashmere over my silk chiffon shirt. This magical blend always comes through when I'm in need of extra warmth and comfort. This ensemble was the perfect match for my raspberry coloured skirt!  For a picnic, flats seemed like the perfect choice, because of their practicality. So I decided to bring a touch of mango to the gelati mix! These mustard coloured, patent leather ballet flats, are so chic and comfortable. They are one of my favourite pairs of Repetto ballet flats, purchased from the fabulous Alice & Deb at Treasurette. Check out

Olga De Polga

Melbourne based designer Olga de Polga  is renowned for their use of colour and vibrant patterns. I really enjoy adding a pop of colour when I style outfits, so if you love colour, you are bound to find something fabulous. On my recent visit, I picked up two pairs of Lillian pants, a new style to ODP, in both pink and caramel. These colours go so well with other pieces in my wardrobe. Style tip: I will not add anything to my wardrobe if it doesn't go with other pieces, so I am very particular when choosing a new piece to add to my collection. The cords fit really well, sitting at mid-waist and fall at the perfect length. The corduroy fabric is soft and feels so cosy, so perfect for Winter here in Melbourne!  Have you visited Olga de Polga? If so, what are your favourite pieces? If you haven't been in store yet, make sure you do so soon, because some styles are selling out really fast. Have a great rest of the week! Yours in style, Suzi x  What I'm Wearing ODP Lillian pants

Grace Kelly: Style Icon

Some of you may know already that I recently went on a country  girls' getaway with my mother to Bendigo to view the Grace Kelly: A Style Icon exhibition. I am so thrilled that I did! It was simply amazing.  The package I purchased was the Country Girls' Getaway, which included one nights accomadation at the City Centre Motel (4 star), breakfast, in-house Grace Kelly Movies, plus 2 x tickets to the exhibition. The special pack I received upon check-in, which included a terrific shopping and dining guide, special discounts and maps. The exhibition was held at the Bendigo Art Gallery. The session was timed by the hour to prevent the influx of visitors, which I felt worked really well. There was plenty of room and I didn't feel like I needed to hurry up, so instead, took my time, taking in every detail. I could have spent all day looking at every single minute detail of each and every one of the stunning gowns that adorned this beau
