New Owner for Fahri

The new Fahri buyout has happened less then two years after it's last takeover to new Owners - Opengate Capital. Reports state that this will be a positive change and will allow the brand to grow and establish itself overseas. I can only hope Nicole Farhi receives the recognition it deserves as a brand and can gain more appreciation from new fashion followers. I was interning for Nicole Farhi during the last buyout and internally not a lot altered, the staff are amazing and great at what they do. Nicki will be great as the new ceo taking the brand to New York, after the new Bond Street store unveiled I can't wait to see the New York standalone store.


Look familiar?

River Island are on trend for Spring/Summer 12, creating this version of Victoria Beckhams 'Victoria' dress that she has worn herself at a mere £28.

Blue Ivy

At the news that my Idol Beyonce has given birth to her first baby, I would like to personally welcome Blue Ivy Carter into the world, shes already debuted in her Dad's latest single 'Glory' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGFAFvV4dpI. This little girl is going to be the coolest dressed girl, ever.

General Goodness

My previous post about great Australian shops needs to be extended.. I have since discovered General Pants Co. Yes I know the name sounds a bit well, pants, I thought this originally until you get through the door. There is a great array of quirky, cool clothes similar to Urban Outfitters offering with a more beachy laidback feel. Mainly a brand offering; Cheap Monday, Don't Ask Amanda, Fairground, Insight, Stussy, Mimi loves Jimi...... Here are some of my favourite picks;

Australian fashion round up...

Since arriving in Australian over a week ago now, I have been testing out the high street to see whats good in Australian fashion. So far I have not been disappointed, the summer clothes are so tempting.... Here is my round up of the best shops I have found so far...

Cotton On
This store is great for basics with good colour palettes and prints and cute fun accessories.


Sportsgirl
Amazing accessories and colourful ranges of basics that are cheap, more for an athletic girl. There is a store in every mall, even better.


Forever New
This is every girly girl's dream, it is full of gorgeous dresses and accessories that are more upmarket than the other two stores mentioned. It uses pale palettes of creams, pinks and golds to create ultimate dress up frocks for the weekend.


Factorie
This is my most recent find, similiar to Cotton on, but cheaper, I found so many nice things in their but my trick is being needing to convert clothes into English winter clothes so it makes it a lot more difficult. However, the girls that I am travelling with are here for a lot longer so I making them buy everything I want!


So overall, there are lots of things money can buy in Australia there is no shortage of fashion options.
I still have time to find that elusive New Year's outfit, can't wait until Sydney.
