New location……….

One of my favourite Melbourne fashion labels has a new home. Clemente Talarico used to have a boutique at 228 Chapel Street and up for a fresh change has now moved a few doors down to 174 Chapel Street. We have a few shots of their new boutique pictured below. I been a fan of this menswear label and featured them in a piece I wrote for DNA Magazine.

Disclosure: I only write about labels I love!

I have to admit this pair of Clemente Talarico pants have become my favourite summer fashion staple. The fabric is soft and light, perfect for the summer heat. It’s the relaxed fit and rolled hem that give the pants a fresh look. The colour is bruise and not normally a colour I would wear. But that is what I like about fashion, as it’s always fun to step outside your comfort zone!

Winter will never be dull with you around….

OK, it’s the hottest month of summer in Melbourne and the shops are starting to fill with layers of gorgeous winter clothing. It’s right now a hot 32 degrees outside and all I’m craving is the cool waters of the nearest pool. I know the circle of fashion is weird but wonderful, so let’s get a quick snap of some winter fashion that is happening at New York Fashion Week – which is on as we speak. This collection by Karen Walker has really caught my eye – the mix of colour, detailed prints and quirky styling has me loving the coming season of fashion.

Friday Fashion Lovin’

It’s the weekend and let me introduce a few of my favourite fashion kicks that I have found during the week. This will become a weekly piece and they will be anything from the desirable to the weird, wacky or just plan awesome!

Just today I found my new winter boots. Ok, so it may be summer but in Melbourne the weather can change quicker than Julia Gillard doing a runner on Australia Day. This store I only discovered today in a beautiful laneway in the city. These boots are from Italian label Nylo and the photo does not do them justice as they need to be felt for the true feeling of how amazing they are. Found At: 124 Shoes, G4, 16-30 Russell Place, Melb, 3000

These satchels have become the quickest blast of colour to pop up all over the city. They have been selling out, so get in quick – if you see one snap it up! I first saw them in a store on Greville Street, went back two days later and the orange one was no longer available and they were waiting for more to arrive.

Discovered: Fluro Cambrigde Satchel from NO. STONE, Greville St, Prahran

These boots just had me laughing and scared at the same time. They are from a store in the Australia On Collins shopping mall in the city. I have lost all the shop details but will be going back soon to take more photos. As the shoe collection was WOW with designs that looked like something from a Lady Ga Ga video and I can’t wait to go back.

Style off the court

As we build up to the Australian Tennis Open in Melbourne, Andy Roddick has come out sporting a new sexy hairstyle – the Mohawk. It is always the ladies of the tennis circuit that steal the show with their sexy cut dresses and revealing style. So, it’s great to see one of the gents getting some attention. I actually like his new cut – it toughens up his image and I definitely like the unshaven look to match. See you court side.

Turn up the heat: Sizzling Swimwear

Summer is here – slip, slop, slap – and time to freshen up your swimwear collection. I was going to do a post on my pick of the hottest swimwear available. After a quick search through a selection of lookbooks there is one brand that really stands out from the rest in terms of fit, style and range. Funky Trunks have some beautiful photography to capture their summer collection and I must admit I am now a fan. The brand has delivered a very on-trend collection with a strong theme of clashing colour that has the fashion world abuzz this season.
