Out With The Old, In With The Oroton

Did you know a woman spends 27 years of her life on average carrying a handbag?

This information makes handbag choice seem much more important (as if it wasn't already).

Thanks to the recent Oroton 50% off sale (love a bargain), I am now the proud owner of the above items.

I'm loving the current Oroton AW12 campaign featuring Aussie models Samantha Harris and Elyse Taylor.

The look is clean, simple, classic elegance and I feel like that's what Oroton should be all about. 

Creative Director Ana Maria Escobar wanted to capture the modern Australian woman's style.

She brought together an all Australian crew for this campaign including renowned photographer David Mandleberg.

As Oroton's last four season were shot abroad, Ana Maria wanted to come home to truly capture the essence of Australian style.

I collect vintage glomesh bags and below is one of my Oroton ones.

While I love vintage, it's great to have something new in my collection. After all, my new bag will be vintage one day!

Willow Opens at Burnside Village

Willow opened at Burnside Village recently and we were invited to come and take a look at the new store and meet the designer Kit Willow.

There are only four Willow Boutiques in Australia so for Adelaide to get one, it's pretty exciting.

I've never been the biggest fan of Willow. I remember it all being very drapey and a bit hippy and just not really my style.

However after going into the store I am absolutely in love.

I loved the colours, the shapes and pretty much everything about Willow (besides the price point).

I found the clothes look much more young, exciting and wearable in real life rather than in photos.

Kit Willow said she designs for herself and only wears her own clothes. He favourite piece was a leather jacket that hung beautifully.

Two of my favourite items are below.

I hope that people of Adelaide support Willow so that we can start to get even more amazing designer stores here and the shopping can continue to improve.

While I probably won't be able to own anything from Willow anytime soon, a girl can always dream.
