Observations and Follies

The morning was running all in schedule.
From the moment i jumped off the tram, Ness's cab was at the front store.
We did the moment girly giggles with excitement from her latest stock purchase.

Off course, famished from the excitement.
We OooOOED & Ahhhhh'd the yummy brekkie
that Hot Poppy's provided for us.

Sitting on the Sky bus , We were off for the much anticipated trip.
After, a short nap , a train ride and a short 5 Min's walk from
Wyn yard to Travel Lodge. We were ready for our expo.

A very short/long walk by the harbour.
We were in and ready to be labelled as professionals,
very young professionals .

Reactions: Complete awe and amazed at the array of
accessories, the number of retailers and shop fittings.
It was pure ecstasy , having to be a part of this.

Tummy tales: We were fed for an early dinner, with
A Fishermen's Basket,Oysters, Mussels & Steamed Veges.
Being a glut and greedy, we even squeezed in a moment of
Lindt Ice Cream :)

Tuesday comes--> We were both up and running with happy
pies for breakfast which made Ness's day. Then huddled in for
a seminar which had great pointers regarding the business.
The whole day ran in a tight schedule from one retailer to the other,
with mini catwalk stops and suppliers. Definately needed the 2 whole
days for this.

* Made a pit stop for the Sydney, Opera House. ha ha I just had to squeeze
a moment of architectural history in this trip. Basically, we both had a great
trip down to Sydney :)

Bizarre note: Sydney people must be in love with clock's because there's one
in every corner, The city seems like a mild version of New York with all high rises,
people are always jay walking because the traffic crossing is so slow to tick to the
green walking man & there seems to be no rubbish bins anywhere.

Jazzy jazz

Direct from the BIG APPLE...

( This was the nasty weather I had to endure the first 2 days!)

So, its my last day in the Big Apple, and this is my first post for the blog. In the days leading up to the soft launch, we're both extremely excited and there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day.

After finally tabulating our stash for the soft launch, we have about 200 items all specially chosen for its uniqueness and its practicality, I've met some nice people along the way and have learnt so much from them. Most the people I've met have either ties with the fashion industry or work in the fashion industry. Its such an eye opener.

We now have a great stash of true blue vintage from the 80's now including a gorgeous Badgley Mischka suit in an amazing shade of Red Wine w/Rhinestone buttons, a fab Sequinned bustier from Oleg Cassini, another FULLY Sequinned gown from Oleg Cassini (which i am going to find hard to let go), numerous suits from UNGARO and these are just to name a few.

In lieu with the cold weather thar we're expecting in Melbs I've also start shopping for some professional work wear. These include Armani pinstripe pants, some nice corduroy items, below the knee skirts which would look amazing with a turtleneck and knee hi boots.

I would love to post some pictures of the clothes, but these are all teasers and you have to visit the store to check out the stash! I can't wait to be back in Melbourne!!!

3 more days til Melbourne and 8 days til our Launch.

Be sure to show up early on March 14th, its a first come first serve basis!
