Brisbane street style, fashion news & local designers
This Aje dress combines texture & tone with pale, elegant sequins and tough black spikes.
It was a flurry of sparkling garments and beautiful people at the recently opened Aje boutique in Westfield Carindale where, during a VIP night hosted by Westfield, they celebrated their debut with a VIP launch party.
If you have been shopping in Paddington, chances are you will have visited La La Labrobe. After 12 years in the same location, they decided it was time to move (not far, just across the road) to an airy, light filled space in a beautiful Queenslander, decorated with bohemian trimmings. We attended their launch party and were treated to bubbles, Chinese food from Sichuan Bang Bang (the vegetarian fried rice was delicious) and shop-till-you-drop clothing specials.
Part 2 of the BNE Style collaboration with The Gallery Boutique (read more about Joannah and the boutique in part one) features Australian designed KUKU dresses. Models Kiara Woodward and Aimee Moore look ethereal in peach and white, a perfect addition to your spring wardrobe. Makeup by HH Makeup and shoes from Kylie Ryan.
Joannah is passionate about fashion, her online store, The Gallery Boutique which is based in Brisbane, stocks labels such as Cameo the Label, Finders Keepers, Bless’ed Are The Meek, Kuku, Casper & Pearl and many more. I had a chat to Joannah to find out what she loves about fashion and how she strives to deliver a special, personalised experience to her customers.
Leaving the store smiling with bags in hands, these ladies just finished perusing the new and vintage clothing and accessories available at Winn Lane store, Sunday Social.
Jess, the owner of Sunday Social (pictured below), is an enthusiastic lady who loves to stock one of a kind pieces that have a unique twist. After initially being part of the Winn Lane markets before the Lane was developed, Jess knew she had to jump on the change to become a tenant when retail spaces became available.
What is there to do on a rainy weekend you ask? Ladies bring your boyfriend’s to visit The Happy Cabin at West End where the fun, summer camp cabin style interior will make you wish your house was as cool as this.
Walking into Can You Keep A Secret at Greenslopes you immediately feel at home. With a warm smile from the staff, funky music and the cool breeze blowing through the gorgeous 1920′s Queenslander house you are instantly transported back to a bygone era.
