My Chanel Jumpsuit On Sydney Fashion Blogger

Here’s my Chanel jumpsuit on Sydney Fashion Blogger. The photo was taken right outside the shop, just after she bought it. It's chic, unique and looks very cool on her figure, particularly with the matching Chanel bag.

Unfortunately, the jumpsuit was a one-off, vintage piece, but you’ll find plenty more designer and unique vintage pieces inside:

Tales Of Endearment

I was in my stall at Surry Hills Market, when three girls asked me if they could use my raccoon furs in a photo.
Here they are just next to my stall, with the tiled wall of the Clock Hotel as a backdrop. The photo was for the fashion blog Tales Of Endearment. Scroll down to the May 18 entry to see the pic. Click on it to read the story.
The mix of colours looks great, particularly against the dark blue tiles.

Find A Pop-Up Shop

Pop-up shops are becoming more popular as some niche clothing retailers (like me) ditch the overheads of a permanent shop and move toward a combination of web, weekend markets and once a season sales.
Love Story’s 2011 & 2012 May pop-ups in Blank Space Gallery went really well and I’m already booked in there for May 2013.
Here’s a great site where you can get the latest news on current and coming pop-up shops, as well as special offers for members. It’s called Find A Pop-Up Shop. You can also subscribe for email alerts of new sales.
Here’s their article about Love Story’s Blank Space pop-up.
Stay tuned: I’m looking for a space to do another pop-up sale late this June or early July. If anyone has a good space in the inner Eastern Suburbs, let me know.
