Fendi is all about eye-catching prints or colors, and this bag is no exception!

With a classic sophisticated design, the Fendi Peek-a-Boo bag is a fool-proof stylish choice when it comes to picking out a timeless tote.

Fendi’s Peek-a-Boo boasts a birkin-esque shape, a removable shoulder strap, protective metal feet, turn lock closures, and satin lining  and has been toted by celebs and fashionistas alike.

My pick? With the current trend in camel and muted tones coming down the runway I’d opt for the above colour.

Fendi Peek-a-Boo = Tres Chic!!

Super and Highsnobiety get together for a second time, for a very special occasion: to celebrate the Swiss company’s 5th birthday. Most of you know Highsnobiety for the respect they earned in the fashion scene, as being one of the most complete and authoritative style blogs of the last five years. For this collaboration  we selected our cutting edge yet timeless Andrea model. Designing it with a selection of  high-snobbyish textures and material that makes it immediately stand out from the crowd: a briar-inspired acetate, that even an original Jaguar from the 70s would admire, teamed up with our fine Italian black leather. Gold details  and the “Highsnobiety” regal logo embedded on the exterior of the arms to top it off and complete the piece.

Like all of our models, this product is of the finest Italian craftsmanship, featuring the highest quality leather, finest acetate, all shaped and molded by hand in Italy with Zeiss lenses. The case has also been customized for this special project,  black with a retrò inspired shape, maintaining a classic design and customized with the Highsnobiety logo that gives that extra touch. The shades will cost 230 euro and will be available today at 3.00 pm CET on our online store and in selected stores.

An icon for over thirty yeas, Madonna is anything but “everyday.” In Dolce and Gabbana’s newest ad campaign, Madonna is featured posing with an Italian family, dancing with the son, holding a chicken and posing with a beautiful baby. The photos have an everyday feel to them, a casual vibe that Madonna is merely a striking figure in the family, and with her strong jaw line and immediately recognisable face, she certainly is striking. A tribute to her Italian roots, the juxta positioning of the pop queen with the gorgeous family in their ‘Sunday best’ almost inspires a double take – is that really Madonna? The images create two thoughts, that the clothes are wearable in many situations other than just the runway, and a reminder that Madonna is a real person, and has a family of her own.

Domenico and Stefano were said to be delighted when Madonna agreed to participate in the campaign, as she could be incorporated into the desired aesthetic perfectly. The black and white photos are classic, and Madonna’s longstanding fame adds a striking element to the campaign.

The name Isabel Marant is now synonymous with a carefree, effortless, stylish Parisienne woman. Everyone raves about Marant’s slouchy boots from last year’s fall collection, claiming they were the start of her success, however there is far more to the designer’s popularity than boots, albeit beautifully handcrafted. Isabel Marant has been building her fashion label for the past 16 years, beginning with a jewellery line and progressing to a fully fledged clothing line showcased at Paris fashion week. The designer’s personal touch is what makes the line so successful; she ensures that the clothes are comfortable and wearable by personally altering them while trying them on – she doesn’t even own a fitting model. Marant’s own effortless, no frills style echoes throughout the collections, while embellishments like sequins and delicate fabrics maintain the high end feel favoured by celebrities worldwide.

The Fall 2010/2011 collection showcases elegant but natural looks. Soft silk blouses, sequined stove pipe jeans, warm but unsophisticated coats and wrap dresses finished with black leather tie belts graced the runway.

Maintaining the look of effortlessness is not easy, however Marant’s personal style, work ethic and personal involvement in the design and fit of the pieces is why label Isabel Marant is now loved worldwide.

Deep in the heart of Sydney’s rag district, down a dark lane behind a brightly printed curtain, an eclectic group of creatives mingled the night away surrounded by lush fabrics and homewares. Just your average Wednesday night in our city!

The quirky set were out to play last night to celebrate Finnish textile and clothing company Marimekko, famed for it’s bold, vibrant prints and expressive designs. Straight from the streets of Helsinki, the label’s legendary designs have been seen on the likes of Jacqueline Kennedy and Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw, and the deliciously different prints have adorned everything from tea dresses and handbags to crockery and sofas.

Last night team Marimekko took over ‘The Roller’, an edgy studio space in Surry Hills, piling their prints on every available surface and proving that clashing prints are actually pleasing to the eye! We dined on cute little sausage rolls, sipped wine and champagne, and cooed over the fabulous products which will be landing on Australian shores in 2011.

I even left with my own Marimekko shopping tote and a copy of their magazine to scout for my next style inspiration (as the girls in the office will testify, I LOVE bright prints!). Thank you Marimekko!

With our flats swiftly changed to heels and a quick re-apply/spritz Rox and I flew out the office doors last night to meet Celebrity fashion blogger Gala Gonzalez in town for RSFF and exclusively blogging for FrockShop.com  whilst on our shores.

Standing in the Rosemount O VIP Wine Bar with the team from FrockShop.com and the famed blogger herself, Gala was a standout – fresh faced and naturally graceful, with a personal style that whilst clearly considered was somewhat effortless. An accent to die for – London-based Spanish blogger Gala Gonzalez is the epitome of everything that is relevant in fashion. 

Seated in the front row the Spanish beauty was a study of concentration snapping each look that came gliding down runway with the kind of precision that implied her camera was merely another limb – between Camilla and Marc, Ginger and Smart, Anna and Boy and more (many of the brands stocked on FrockShop.com) there was some serious talent on show.

With several fashionable collaborations under her belt (H&M, Botkier, and Loewe to name a few)  - Gala  is one style setter that is giving the fashion click a run for their money.

FrockShop’s ear to the ground during this year’s Rosemount Australian Fashion Festival – Gala’s front row favorites will be appearing on FrockShopStyle.com – the online boutiques recently launched blog – as from today.

Keeping it stylish in the freezing snow is a challenge, however, snow boot brand Sorel is here to help. Since 1962 Sorel has boasted functional boots, looking cute has just been a bonus. In really cold conditions, boot soles need to stay warmer than the ground so the grip stays active, and snow boots all require an inside liner that can be changed and washed. Sorel have mastered all of these elements while also incorporating details such as faux fur trims, laces and unique prints to ensure that girls, boys and kids can look sylish even in the harshest winters. Say goodbye to chunky ugly boots, in clubs and bars in ski towns, many people wear their Sorels! With prices ranging from $85 USD to $200, varying lengths and designs, Sorels are an investment guaranteed to last years.

Sorel’s  wearability has generated a cult following by many including celebrities. Bar Rafaeli and Jessica Simpson have been caught wearing them, and a certain vogue.com editor raves about her Sorels. Acknowledging that fashion can be functional and comfortable while retaining elements of style is what generates popularity for any brand, Sorel is no exception.

The lunch time rush just got a little more exciting! Madame Char Char on Crown St in Surry Hills has just opened up and already Sydneysiders are chattering away about it to one another!

“Razzle Dazzle, without the Sydney hazzle”

Madame Char Char uses only the freshest ingredients including Lilydale free range chickens and salads that are made fresh everyday from the very best seasonal produce!

My favourite pick? From Madame Char Char’s salad menu; Roast cauliflower and broccoli with feta, mint and crushed hazelnuts and seeded mustard honey dressing!

YUM!

The home of Australia’s luxury designer boutiques, The Intersection Paddington, was a hotbed of paparazzi, celebrities, VIPs, and homegrown design talent last night as over 600 eager shoppers stormed the streets for exclusive high-end bargains.

Teaming up with weekly fashion magazine Grazia, The Intersection, Paddington enticed some of Australia’s most illustrious fashion designers to meet and greet their fashionista fans in store for one evening only, as well as offering never seen before designer discounts of 20% off spring/summer collections and complimentary gifts with purchases.

The famous cobbled streets of The Intersection, Paddington were flanked by a parade of Mini Cooper cars emblazoned with the event details, and a DJ pumped tunes from Jackie’s Café in to the street providing a party soundtrack for the waiting shoppers. This was definitely not the night for dressing down, as guests donned their most glamorous designer ensembles and towering heels for the evening.

As label-lovers queued up outside Jackie’s café for their wristbands well before the opening time of 6pm, designers including Josh Goot, brother and sister powerhouse Camilla and Marc Freeman, Ksubi’s Dan Single and the Zimmerman sisters Nicky and Simone took positions in their flagship Sydney boutiques to offer styling advice to the busy crowds. Guests were treated to sushi, champagne and cupcakes at Jackies Café, with the exclusive goody bags causing a stampede in stores – the complimentary treats inside were rumoured to be worth over $500.

After two hours of frantic shopping, the event wrapped up in Jackie’s Café with the Grazia team giving away five lucky door prizes and guests dancing the night away to the Piracy DJ’s.

What a great night it was!! For more images take a look at The Intersection, Paddington’s trend blog – http://blog.theintersectionpaddington.com.au
