pedal to the polly

pedal to the polly

Happy SPRING everyone! We're so excited about the warmer weather - so much better for pedaling on new bikes!

Eeep.   You know how when you meet a new boy and you can't stop thinking about him?  Well, I just got a new bike and I can't stop thinking about it.

Spring is so fun for pedaling.

And night time picnics.

And wearing shorts.

Eating ice creams.

Wearing big glasses.

and, and, and ...

Now, must unpack the playsuits as I need something to wear on my new bike.

PS - helmets are poo

state of excitement

state of excitement

Eeep. Loving SS for being the time that new labels hit the shelves. Most excited? STATE of GEORGIA at the POLLY.

In all it's colourful glory, STATE OF GEORGIA is due to hit the shelves for September.

Think poolside party dresses, high colour octanes, brave new word styles and head turning styling.

STATE OF GEORGIA is a long time leading Australian label.  We're so excited to welcome it to the POLLY.

polly and the darling tree

polly and the darling tree

Gorgeous new graphic design has just hit the counter at POLLY.

This month we were lucky enough to work with local graphic design beauty ... Joanna Klima.

In a pretty nutshell, she's a Gold Coast girly with love/passion/obsession with graphic design and all things on line.

She's been a long time POLLY brand creator and we're just loving the sketching she's whipped up for our Spring direction.

Spot her work on POLLY swing cards near you or check her portfolio at http://www.thedarlingtree.com/about

What would we do without the creative ones?

spring it on

spring it on

Does fashion get prettier than first spring deliveries? New colour palettes, less layers, new accessories ... all making us dream of the sunshine coming our way!

Hoping all you pretties have your clogs ready as SS is hitting the shelves at POLLY in a serious way!  Stylestalker, Fairground, Nookie Beach, Minty Meets Munt, Cameo, Miss Unkon, Motel, Ask Grace are being unpacked as we type!

POLLY is having a secret 'prairie' moment with the delicious corseting and full 50's skirts featuring in the spring styles.  All very day in the country and la la femme.  Particularly loving this one by ASK GRACE ('at my picnic') ... the pink is going back with my clogs perhaps a little too well.

Do dresses get prettier?  Eeep!

polly and the pastel party

polly and the pastel party

Every spring - how refreshing it is to receive the new season colour palette!

This year lavender has featured heavily on the run way ... followed closely by sorbet pink, lemon and baby blue.

We're loving seeing the Australia interpretation of this in gorgeous 70's silhouettes combined with delicate pen prints.

We just received the CAMEO and are having little internal squabbles about which polly girl is allowed to buy the sweet puff sleeve dress (pictured) ... so would recommend getting in quickly for this one!

Much love xxm

my under water world

my under water world

POLLY landed yet another gorgeous STYLESTALKER delivery today!  

Am in particular lust after this angel wing mini ... loving the rainbow blue sequining on the wing ... all very under water world/scuba girl.

It's always hard to imagine when shivering away in a not-warm-enough dress but ... it's about to get really hot again.  Remember that oh-my-not sure if I can handle wearing clothes today as they may melt off - kind of day?  Yes they are coming again.

But POLLY is prepping the racks for you.  Hot hotsies are the low backed leotards.  The blue is glorious.  The black amazing.  Who can choose, who can choose ...

Now, must stop rambling fashion blah-blah and unpack my delivery!

 

Happy nearly spring time! mxx

polly 100

polly 100

You may or may not have read the POLLY100 section on our website ... eitherway, in a nutshell ... what we're up to is ... wanting to help girls everywhere get into their own fashion boutique!

I hear girls all the time talking about loving fashion and wanting to have more $$ in their life so, we created POLLY100 to help close the gap.

We think the POLLY100 opportunity makes it way easier and less risky/scary for young girls to get into business ... and then your WAY more likely to hit the ground running (or flying!).

You can read more about POLLY100 on our website or feel free to drop into store and speak with any of the POLLY girls about it.

3 opened - 97 to go!

MBFF

MBFF

Getting bigger and better every year, it's great to see the shows at MBFF packed to the brim.

Our lovely friend NELLY PRO is shooting for Napoleon and Schwarzkopf so we're getting all the backstage goss ... we're actually scouting for new faces for e-boutique so it's always good to have the inside edge on the who's who.

Me, I'm just looking forward to the Wednesday party.  I loves my bubbles.

the last emperor

the last emperor

This is a little picture of the macaroons - our half time tea break whilst viewing the Valentino collection at GOMA this weekend!

Words can't describe the decadence of the dresses displayed ... blissful, feminine, dreamy, unimaginable, adventurous ...

100 pieces of absolute master level.

Loved seeing the groupings in the curation and the pieces from 4 different decades.

Absolutely inspired how true design is timeless and is an art that lasts forever ...

We've been talking about it forever, but she finally arrived - well - the first installation anyhow!

STYLESTALKER SS10.  It's all scuba fun with an aztec, 70's escapism edge.  Can the mix get any funner?

Photos and pieces for STYLE STALKER will be available online from Saturday night ... we're a bit excited because we are having a visit this shoot from fashion photograper, NELLYPRO.  Check his site at www.nellypro.com for his amazing action.

Stalk the style at www.princesspolly.com.au ... wheee!

DELIVERY TIME!

SHEESH ... SS10 delivery schedule is so busy my Iphone is smoking from calendar overwork!

CAMEO - be fast here - we've had sooooo many enquiries!

aztec chique

aztec chique

Aztec ... it's on the catwalk and it's on the shelves at POLLY.

Seeing this fun mini trend showing in a few different ways for the new season!

Namely;

* Ponchos & capes - we're loving them and have had the addiction going for a few weeks now!  Expect to see this style continue for the SS but in a softer more feminine way.  Very senorita.

*  Bar beading.  Long gone are the studs of old.  Our heart now sits with bronze and gold bar beading.  Fashion, we love your fickleness!

*  Heavy fringing.  Not 1920's charleston fringing - we're talking mega heavy leather fringing.  On bags, on shirts, on shoulders.  Our new friend.

*  Coloured beading.  Especially aztec blue and orange bead back with rustic metal.

*  Aztec animal jewels.  Bull heads are our favourite.

Hmmm ... maybe we should have a tequila tee-pee party!?
