Melbourne Street Style....Sweater Days

Sometimes there is nothing better than slipping on a white tee, throwing on an oversized sweater, and pulling on a pair of jeans.

Melbourne Street Style...3.1 Phillip Lim

Andie, who is an artist, outside GPO in Melbourne. In 3.1 Phillip Lim dress (she lived in NYC for awhile).

Whenever I describe Australia to people who haven't visited before, I say "Oh, you'll love it- everyone is super friendly and laid-back and you will get invited to barbies and parties even if you don't know anyone". And true to form, the lovely Andie (who I had never met before- I was just wandering around with my camera) invited me to her birthday party the next night! How nice is that?!

Melbourne Street Street Style....The "Giles" Glasses

Whenever I see someone wearing glasses like these ones, I immediately think of British designer Giles Deacon (incidentally, congrats to Giles on the Emanuel Ungaro appointment).......I think they are just so geeky cool. Although I suspect that if I had been made to wear them in the 1980's when I was growing up, I would simply have refused to leave the house!

I spotted this girl as I was wandering along Chapel Street in Melbourne. She and her boyfriend were lugging an enormous bag between them. It turns out that they were both from Stockholm and had been working in Australia. They were due to return home to Sweden (via Bali) the day after I met them hence the giant bag containing all their belongings! Mmmm a summer spent in Aus followed by a summer in Europe = Bliss :)

Melbourne Street Style...A little bit Sass & Bide

Tonight is my last night in Melbourne before I head for Sydney tomorrow and the start of Rosemount Australia Fashion Week. I cannot tell you how much I am just loving being back in Australia! I spent the first day giggling at the accents and Aussie sayings (I forget how strong my accent must sound to everybody) and being blown away by how friendly everyone is......not to mention the outstanding coffee (I think I am averaging 5 a day- NOT GOOD!) and food. We have been puttering around Melbourne in a little Smart car trying to visit as many cafe's as possible and, of course, all of my favourite boutiques: Belinda, Gorman, Scanlan & Theodore, Husk, Willow, Fat, Fiorina jewellery, Chambermaid, Le Louvre (conveniently located right next to our hotel!)....the list goes on and on. I will do a little post on my fav Melbourne places when I get back to London :)
