The Collector visits Collector
I am as proud as punch (never really understood that saying but it sounds good lol) of the new concept store on Crown Street Surry Hills called - Collector.
Yes people you heard right Collector a brilliant name if I should say so myself, and absolutely brimming with a brilliant collection of items from clothes to unusual furniture pieces.
Walking in I was like a kid in a candy store, there was something for everyone and to cater to different budgets. The gentleman owner was friendly, helpful,warm and welcoming (a lot of bigger chain stores could learn some customer service tips from him).
He directed me up the stairs to see more goodies and there it was - Mirror Mirror on the wall hello you'd look good on my wall :) Made of driftwood it is a feature for any home or office, I've even started putting money away in my skull money box for it and I can't wait! It is truly a piece you'd keep for a lifetime and hand it down the generations.
I highly recommend popping in to the Collector 473 Crown Street and if you're in need of a coffee after your visit grab one at Cafe Four ate Five right near by.
Enjoy perusing.

Witchery Menswear Bags It
I was pleasantly surprised recently whilst trawling the Internet, and looking for appropriate Australian designed menswear for clients wardrobe to find the new range from Witchery Men's. From it's debut collection not toO long ago they have grown in leaps and bounds, and upped the ante across the range.
Now I love a good overnighter and I'm not referring to a sleep over lol, but to the perfect carry all weekender bag. Witchery I think has outdone itself in this department with a couple of very well priced and beautifully made bags to choose from.
My choice is the denim contrast travel bag which is a dark blue denim and black leather mix. It's the perfect no fuss colour and easy to hide any signs of dirt or wear and tear.
Love it and cant wait to own one myself...

sNEAKee GOLD AND stUDD'S
One of, or should I say THE most recognised woman's shoe designer Christian Louboutin has followed Jimmy Choo and ventured in to sneaker design territory.
Consisting of only 2 designs one of them black high top with studs all over it and the second a gold embroidered high top, these 2 eye catching sneakers are definitely for more than strolling your local streets and are from Louboutin's Spring/Summer 2010 collection out now in the States.
The choice is yours to stud or not to stud, or if the bling is your thang then gold it is but whatever you chose, do so in confidence because they're definitely not for the faint hearted :)

Bam-boo RED
I am passionate about great furniture to the extent where i have sacrificed many a meal to buy that one piece that pops out at you.Yes i know it may not seem logical but a great piece of furniture by a fantastic designer is like a good bottle of wine, it increases in value with age!!! You heard me right it's value increases with age provided it's kept in pristine condition.
Now this Red bamboo chair is no exception to that rule, eye catching, statement making and most of all beautiful. My heart skipped a little beat when I set eyes on this new love of my life. Feel free to pop in to EXHIBIT interiors @ PYD 197 Young Street, Waterloo and fall in love for yourself. This shop is full of little treasures just waiting for you plunder so have fun treasure hunting.
