Next Direction

Just sneaked out across country to catch an opportunity, having one of my dreams come true, exactly two weeks ago. And turned out the result did not go as well as I expected. But, thankfully my boyfriend reminded me this phrase from the book Become a Better You by Joel Osteen,

 

"Out of our greatest rejection comes our greatest direction. When you come to a closed door, or something doesn't work out in your life, instead of seeing that as the end, regard that as God nudging you into a better direction."

I guess there is no reason for me to give up and stop believing that something greater is coming my way.

Crochet

Dear friends,



Allow me to introduce you to newest favourite Melbourne-based online store: Sgt Sookie.



I picked up this very pretty and delicate crochet knit, via Sgt Sookie, who are committed to sourcing pieces from the best new design talent: locally and abroad, as well as a meticulously curated vintage collection.



Readers know, I'm an avid vintage lover and a keen supporter of emerging designers, so I'm very much looking forward to seeing more from these guys.

As I'm MIA most of this week, with reliable internet difficult to come by, I thought I'd share with you a handful of my favourite travel looks: from Monaco to Romania to Switzerland, Melbourne to the Greek Islands.



It is also with great pleasure that I announce the winner of the Friend in Fashion/ Viparo leather jacket giveaway. Drum-roll please.....



Congratulations to Renna Whaleboat, who is the lucky winner of a brand new cropped sleeve biker jacket.



Thanks to everyone who entered, there were some fabulously stylish entries!

A Minimalist Attitude

If there's one thing I could say about RAOUL is that its consistency in carrying the essence of minimalism has always brought a confident sense of style and sophistication.

On the latest Fall/Winter 2011 Collection, it continues to impress with references to the clean lines and spare tailoring of the late 60's and early 70's, also some touch of minimalism as reinterpreted in the 90's. Which then the result is a collection that is at once both redefines modernity and creates a classic, timeless sensibility, and admirable graphic silhouettes.

Never Lose Hope

A lot of things happened around me recently. As we all know when we decided to keep moving forward it has never been so easy. But thankfully in each and every of those moments had showed me so many new things to learn about. And best of all, they also taught me that God never wants me to stop growing.

So, for now, I find myself to start over again for a better tomorrow.
