New Season! Lover, Benah, Carhartt & The Quiet LIfe





Hi Everyone!



This week we are starting to slip into our Spring/Summer wardrobes.


It's certainly been warm enough.

In the northern hemisphere they are previewing Spring Summer 2012.

I have been glued to Style.com to see things fresh from the runway and naturally

I was drawn to my favourites.










Karen Walker's American Girl was inspired by the intense 70's film Taxi Driver pushing through lots

of 70's/40's looks in an incredible frenzy of print and colour.

It's exhilarating.








A Detacher was described by Style.com as Lanvin for Brooklyn girls

(or Brisbane girls as the case may be).

The reference was to Mona's pattern making skills and her use of wit

and surrealism in her approach.

Mona drew upon prints and textures from Grandma's House to bring a beautiful

mix of colour and punchy 60's prints in modern shapes.



Fashion week moves to London next which is always a buzz.




Now for the here and now...

Apart from polka dots, the only thing that feels more like summer is a jaunty stripe

and these are absolutely pinging.

The Duckman is back too along with some wonderful striped and checked cotton

Finish these off with the unquestionable quality of some Carhartt cotton shorts

or their popular Sid Pant which is their version of a lean and sexy chino.
