It's the details that set the home of interior designer Rose Uniacke apart. The 19th century house in London features beautiful ceiling mouldings, ornate light fixtures and romantic archways. Paired with such a minimal colour scheme and relaxed furnishings, these elements add a sense of comfort and liveability to the otherwise grandiose home. </div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The notion of power dressing was a revolution in the eighties. Big hair, big shoulder pads–it was very corporate but at the same time it made a big statement for a woman to be in a two-piece suit. These days, I think it's more a revolution for women to wear comfortable and unconventional things to the office.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Looser silhouettes can allow for so much freedom and confidence in the workplace. When you're comfortable, it's easier to focus on the task(s) at hand. But it's not just about billowy pants and roomy blazers–incorporating more pieces usually reserved for evening into a corporate wardrobe can be liberating (and provide many more options when getting dressed in the morning). I'm not referring to cocktail dresses, mini skirts or sexy sky-high heels. I'm talking about relaxed garments in satin or silk, special jewellery you never wear because you're waiting for the right occasion, or even those pieces that reveal just a little bit of skin, but only in the subtlest of ways. It might be a slit in a long skirt or pair of loose pants (à la Maiyet), or an unexpected cut-out in an otherwise generic shirt.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Perhaps it's the bouncy blonde locks falling over her shoulders, the sharp winged eyeliner, or maybe it's her admirably long and successful career as an actress. Either way, there's something about Catherine Deneuve that makes me want to tie a ribbon in my hair and brush up on my French. She's a household name but still maintains an element of mystery in film, photographs and <i>la vie quotidienne</i>. </span></div>

OK, so Melbourne isn't exactly known for consistent (or warm) weather, but while I was visiting for four nights in December it was really quite pleasant. Having only ever been to the city during the winter months, it was a welcome change to be able to wear singlets, skirts, and shorts.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This time around I was with family from the UK, so we did a lot of the quintessential Melbourne things like going to see comedy shows, eating or stopping for coffee in hidden laneways, and seeing the street art in the CBD. We also walked <i>a lot</i>. But it was beautiful to explore the city when I wasn't worried about the lack of blood supply to my extremities. </div>

If I had more time, I would have loved to check out some more art galleries, see some live music, and explore more of the suburbs outside of the CBD.</div>

When I travelled to Melbourne last week the only thing I had on my to-do list was seeing the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria. The exhibition consisted of more than 140 garments as well as photographs, sketches, costumes and other multimedia elements.<br />
<br />
Traversing through the seven galleries, it was clear how passionate Gaultier was about fashion and culture. The countless hours and amount of care that have gone into his garments has resulted in extraordinary detail and beauty. The exhibition delved into Gaultier's rich history of corsetry, and included costumes worn by the likes of Madonna and Beyonce. It was also interesting to see garments inspired by the London punk scene and costumes created for films.<br />
<br />
If you are in Melbourne before February 8th, I highly recommend the exhibition.Caryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15654059799781001520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6545469460260841614.post-89534338668822556442014-11-30T12:40:00.000+11:002014-11-30T12:40:36.665+11:00The Edit: Summer Sandals<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ah, yes, New York. I daresay it's one of the most intriguing and inspiring cities in the world. I've never been but I feel as though there's something about the scary concrete jungle that makes the idea of living there seem so thrilling. </div>

This could be me trying to be mature and envisioning how I would decorate my own city apartment one day (ahem—when I'm rich), or it could just be the result of watching too many Sex and the City episodes in one sitting... Either way, I had to post these pictures of a dream-worthy apartment in downtown Manhattan.</div>

Never satisfied with the everyday, she longs to escape. Running away to unexplored territory where everything is hyper real. Her senses are heightened, the wind through her hair is thrilling and the sun warms not only her bare skin but all of her inside. She knows no worry. She has no limits. The world is hers to conquer. She's brave and bold but at the same time vulnerable. She's a dreamer.<br />

It's Parisian opulence at its best. After some renovation, this 19th century apartment situated in the 7th arrondissement manages to show off its incredible architecture while incorporating contemporary decor. If you ask me, the 2,300 square foot apartment is bringing on a severe case of home envy.</div>

The latest collection from the Olsen sisters' label The Row is pretty much all I want to wear this spring/summer. While some outfits are not necessarily weather appropriate for the hotter months in Western Australia, the loose cuts, raw silks and relaxed silhouettes conjure visions of easy summer dressing while still looking chic and put together. Not to mention the fact that the sandals looked both comfortable and versatile.<br />

Last week I had the pleasure of going to Melbourne for four nights. For anyone thinking of visiting, I really recommend it. It was my second time going to the city in the winter and while the wind is bitterly cold and shopping with layers of clothing on can be a bit of a hassle, I quite enjoy popping in to cosy cafes and enjoying a good cup of coffee and/or meal in between exploring the city streets. Plus, Melbourne is known for its excellent coffee, food, and shopping. What more could a tourist need? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This time around I didn't get out of the CBD except for a quick visit to Brunswick, so I didn't see or do as much as I would have liked. However, I have made a mental note of a few favourite spots to go back to next time I'm there in December.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For a good breakfast, I like <b>Hardware Société</b>. I had the baked eggs which they are apparently known for. Luckily, we didn't have to wait for a table but a line quickly formed after we sat down. <b>Manchester Press</b> serves tasty bagels and good coffee. Also offering good coffee is <b>Dukes Coffee Roasters</b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For dinner, <b>Mamasita </b>served up a delicious Mexican fusion feast. My favourites were the chargrilled corn and the quinoa salad. This, however, is another place where you should expect a bit of a wait<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">—</span>it seems to be quite popular, even at 10pm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're into quirky boutiques, there are plenty in the laneways in the CBD and in Brunswick, just north of Melbourne. Chapel St is also good for shopping, but quite a few of the bigger stores or designer boutiques can also be found in the CBD. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you're in the city for the first time, I'd try to check out the street art on Hosier Lane, maybe after breakfast on Degraves St. Obvious points of interest are also the gallery and museum. Melbourne is bursting with culture and there is always a comedy show, concert, or play showing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you have any recommendations for my next visit to Melbourne, please let me know!</div>

The classic black and white tiles in the bathroom and the lavish details like the curtains and coving give the space a sophisticated finish.<br />

It's often awkward to find weather-appropriate clothes to wear in between Summer and Autumn. Pastels are often associated with Spring but I think they're just as fitting for Autumn, especially coming up to Easter when there are pastel-painted egg shells everywhere. Light, simple and feminine, how could anyone go wrong with pastels and lace?</div>

While I think I still have sand in my shoes, the sun setting over Sorrento Beach was the perfect backdrop to the Urban Couture pop-up runway over the weekend. The weather gods were good to the fashion pack as they came to see swimwear designs from Cenote Swimwear, 2Wink Australia and Natalie Rolt with Little Dove and a live performance from Boys, Boys, Boys! Urban Couture Ambassador for 2014 Samantha Harris made a guest appearance, charming onlookers as usual with her stunning features and captivating presence. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Cenote Swimwear's pieces were inspired by a road trip through Central America and feature feminine cuts and flirty frills. Natalie Rolt's most eye-catching design (while not necessarily appropriate for swimming) was a detailed beaded two piece fit for the most glamorous beach goer.</div>

Playful illustrations with pops of vivid colour lined the walls at the Blend(er) Gallery for Urban Couture's 2014 media launch. Mekel illustration's second solo exhibition complimented the fashion shown by labels House of S K Y E, By Emily Lewien, and Natalie Rolt.<br />
<br />
Now in its fourth year, Urban Couture is another WA initiative to support the local fashion industry. Free runway shows provide the public with an easy and fun way of discovering new designers, not to mention highlighting other talented industry professionals such as artists, models and make-up artists. This year's ambassador is the stunning Australian supermodel Samantha Harris- one more reason to head down to one of the shows and see what all the fuss is about.<br />
<br />
The event runs until March 30.Caryshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15654059799781001520noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6545469460260841614.post-63027276436377397962014-03-04T18:28:00.001+11:002014-03-04T18:28:45.363+11:00Love Thread Garden Party<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Over the weekend I was lucky enough to attend a special afternoon tea that was put on by Angeline from Love Thread to raise awareness and funds for The Esther Foundation. The foundation does excellent work in caring for troubled women aged 13 to 33. Hosted at the picturesque Peninsula Tea Gardens by the Swan River, it was a delight of an afternoon. Ladies came in their best fifties frocks to sip tea from dainty tea cups and nibble on scrumptious sandwiches, scones, cakes and petit fours.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I didn't bring my SLR so these pictures don't do the setting justice. More photos of the event can be found on the Love Thread Facebook page.

Words to keep in mind in the new year. The only thing I might change would be replacing "potato chips" with the word "cake". Thank you <a href="http://www.russhmagazine.com/">Russh</a> for your well said words.<br />

Aurelio Costarella is West Australian fashion royalty. He has built his brand in Perth, an accomplishment when considering how isolated Perth was from the fashion world, especially 30 years ago. He now boasts an impressive body of work, some of which is now on display at the WA museum until early February. I definitely recommend going to see it.<br />
<br />
Costarella is an example of hard work paying off and it's very inspiring to see some other WA designers becoming more successful whilst still basing themselves in Perth. I think there is a general idea that Perth is a very difficult city in which to pursue a fashion career. This may be true to some extent, but it is probably a difficult task in a lot of cities. I also believe that the Perth fashion industry is very nurturing, and starting to receive more national and international recognition.<br />
<br />
Speaking of local fashion, I also viewed the Frock Stars exhibition, which was about the history of and hard work that goes into Australian Fashion Week.<br />
