I Wish For...

One of my favourite lifestyle boutiques in Sydney would have to be Becker Minty. Specialising in luxe homewares, gifts and mens and womens clothing it's the perfect place to shop for that unique, timeless and super trendy gift. A long time in the making, Becker Minty have now opened their online store. Featuring a wishlist option which enables friends and family to see exactly what you've got your little eyes on, you'll never need to give another hint again. More than just an online store, it also acts as a great gift (and rather swanky if I might add) registry option. With gorgeous gift wrapping and delivery here and overseas there's no excuse to receive gifts you don't love! To experience the Becker Minty online shop visit www.beckerminty.com.







If you're looking for a wedding gown, maids dresses or even gorgeous suits make sure you pop in to Becker Minty to view their gorgeous collection. Becker Minty Woman has a beautiful range of Aurelio Costarella pieces, one of which we've featured in our current issue #14. We also featured a simply luxe men's Etiqueta Negra black velvet jacket. Too suave for words!

Man Love

I have a thing for nice menswear. A fitted shirt and a well cut, modern suit in a suave shade and beautiful fabric can make all the difference in the man stakes. I've recently become a fan of the label Jack London. The modern label has a great mix of contemporary and hip pieces, as well as classic suits styles in modern cuts and great fabrics. Here's a sneak peak at their show from L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival. Loving the first suit. Steel grey is such a great and hip alternative to black. Jack London do a great mix of suits and street wear and with stores in Victoria, New South Wales, Adelaide, Queensland and Western Australia there are no excuses for uncool suits! Visit www.jacklondon.com.au for collections and store locations.

Pretty & Glamorous

Pale pink and silver make such a pretty colour palette for any wedding. Often this colour palette is well suited to more formal affairs, however it could easily be adapted to suit a cocktail or at home party. There is an abundance of flowers available in soft pinks and almost everything these days comes in silver so you shouldn't have any trouble sourcing products to fit within your theme. I thought our Style Guide stationery Flora Aura and Crystalline fitted perfectly with my Polyvore! These pieces can be purchased from our online shop. Don't forget the guys either. A pale pink tie, soft silver/grey suit or a pale pink shirt can look quite dashing. Pink isn't just for the ladies!

Haute Couture spring/summer 2010 #3

Chanel is a label that always takes luxury that little step further with the use of exquisite fabrics, out of this world embellishments and gorgeous accessories. I adore the oversized bows in the hair! The soft yellow silk, dark jewels and use of layered tulle is oh so romantic! Secretely I'm digging the gold suit - crazy but super eye catching! Alexis Mabille mixed colours, even going for two-tone hair. Sheer fabrics were a key focus of her collection and are often very popular with brides. The sequined dress with sheer sleves oozed sexiness!

Textured fabrics, layering and bold colours seem to have been the key trends from the spring/summer 2010 Haute Couture shows. Yellows, purples, soft blues and neutrals were the most popular colours and are all colours that will translate very well to your spring/summer 2011/12 wardrobes. I know it seems ridiculous to be thinking about next summer when we haven't even escaped this one but knowledge is power, after all!
