B & M

I've got to tell you about a designer which I think has the best contemporary cashmere around; Banjo & Matilda. You may have seen fashionistas and celebs wearing sweaters with a skull and crossbones logo & B & M, their trademark design. Banjo & Matilda also use two kisses, stitched into their garments, for a really cute touch.

Banjo & Matilda was launched in 2008, by Belinda MacPherson and is made and designed in Bondi Beach, Australia. Belinda designs "for real life and a love of absolute comfort and longevity. Simplicity with a generous serve of discreet luxury makes me happy, and I am guessing/hoping/knowing you'll love it too". 1

What I really love about Banjo & Matilda's designs is that they reflect an easy-going, chic attitude, which is what really appeals to me. Belinda's garments are very wearable and versatile. Take for instance the Ultimate V, available in a myriad of seasonal colours. This can be worn casually with jeans and flats, then dressed up for evening wear. Just add some heels and you're good to go.

I don't actually own any Banjo & Matilda yet, but I have this fabulous designer on my wish list in CAPITAL LETTERS!! They offer free postage on all domestic orders within Australia. You can purchase Banjo & Matilda's range of clothing and accessories if you live outside of Australia as well, and it's free if you spend $500.00. All garments purchased online come in a gorgeous brown box, tied with a coordinating ribbon. Sounds divine, doesn't it?

It's "hump day" today guys and there's only two more days left of work for me. Tomorrow will be a very long day/night as we have our school's art show. Let's hope time flies as I really am in desperate need of a holiday!! By the way, I am hoping I can continue my blog while I travel. I'd love to share with you some of the highlights and perhaps some boutiques I discover along the way.

Enjoy the rest of your week! 

Yours in style,

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
