When I go on photoshoots there is inevitabley something particular that the stylist has sourced that I fantasise about for days after. Last week I clapped eyes on this adorable vintage style 'Holiday' pillowcase by lazybones, and their very unique chair frocks. How many days til pay day? 
Well, the Spring Racing Carnival has finally come to an end here in Melbourne. Being new to the city I did loose track of all the significant days... Derby Day, Oaks Day, Ladies Day (or is that the same as Oaks Day?) I don't know! Where i come from its all about Melbourne Cup Day. If you are organised you don a pretty frock, a gorgeous hat and loose some money whilst drinking champagne. If you are like me you race into a TAB 15 minutes before the race starts, put a dollar each way on half the horses, race out again and ask a passer by which horse won half an hour later. I have never won any money! Anyway, without being to harsh about the carnival fashions I will just say that a lot of people failed to achieve the 'pretty dress' criteria of the organised group i mentioned above. As I watched tragic dresses trudge along the street I found myself wishing "if only I could add a little Yeojin Bae here". Yeojin Bae, for those of you who don't know, is an incredible Melbourne fashion designer whose waves both at home and internationally are getting pretty darn big. Since launching her label of feminine, gorgeous and elegant clothing 2 years ago Yeojin Bae is now stocked in Myer and several boutiques around the world. It is, however, her Prahran showroom above Chapel Street that is the best way to experience these clothes. This showroom is the only place that holds her entire collection and looking through it I know that Yeojin Bae will inspire passion in anyone that loves good design, especially great fashion design, though it will set you back a pretty penny.

Not since my ex accidentally gave a christmas card to our friends at their wedding have I laughed to heartily at the inappropriate well, maybe when my friend Serena walked into a telegraph pole... or when she tripped over a blind man's stick. Ok, so i think that I have made my point, I have a fairly black sense of humour all round. Now, with Chinny chin chin's fantastic Cheapskate Cards I can subject my humour on all my nearest and dearest. I really warm to their tag line "When love is too strong a word, show them how you really care with these not-so-gushing greeting cards." This great design team also create other fabulous things like the pre doodled note book, littered with doodles from some amazing artists, incase you think your own doodles aren't up to scratch and it comes complete with a coffee cup stain on the cover. I am now Chinny chin chin's greatest fan and am stocking up for christmas right now! Click here to do the same.
