under water world
This pic is a little sneak peak from the Style Stalker upcoming spring range ...
Clearly, they have totally channeled the scuba/surfer thing into their SS deliveries in a big way ... and we're LOVING it!
VOGUE did a big spread on this influence in the March issue (Abby Lee cover) - how great is it to be seeing it at street level so quickly. I tell you, Australia is getting THAT fast at picking up on overseas trends.
So, although we're just starting AW, fashion world is talking SS and we can expect to be seeing a whole lot of :
Pop fluro accessories
Wetsuit fabrics in dresses
High shine - wet look lycras
Tye die
Our call? Fun, very fun.

NY
There is some really great fares to NY at the moment so POLLY thought she'd skip over and have a perve at the Spring fashions in NY ... all in the name of research of course!!
The shopping is absolutely AMAZING in Manhattan. Literally blow your mind, can't sleep at night, be very, very, very careful of your credit card sort of stuff.
Suburb after suburb, street after street of amazing, decadent, creative, unique, high end, vintage ... fashion, fashion, fashion. And to make it more amazing, it is mixed amongst the coolest art scene in arguably, the world.
Hot boutique, art gallery, pop up shop, street artist, cafe, lifestyle store, graffiti wall, hotel, flower stand ... I came back with the biggest blisters from sooooo much walking.
My favourites were Soho, Nolita, West Village, Meat Packing district, Mid Town, Brooklyn.
If you've never been it's an absolute MUST. Get there girls!
Oh ... and don't get me started on the shoes ... !
brand me baby
We all know the way of the future is down the path of cyber space ... and it's just so much fun to see a label branding themselves well with all the online media under the sun!!
Have you had a look at the Miss Unkon website? www.missunkon.com
We a loving their pretty fashion blog, photo inspirations, film instalations ... and it goes on!
Have you entered the love story competition? hello! You may just sit inbetween the VOGUE & HARPERS girls so they don't scratch each other ... Tix are exclusive to industry insiders so it is an amazing opportunity!

dots for spots
Big, small, pin, mono, multi ... let's not get fussy now.
Polka dots are massive for SS this year, and as usual, are hitting the floor a season early at the Polly.
We're seeing them in dresses, tops, swing shorties and accessories. As long as they are not used in two places in your outfit, we're not fussy where you put them ... just put them on.

slow, the new fast?
Polly pssst ... !
A new slow fashion label is about to hit the shelves - and it's divine.
Cherry Tom - delicious dresses, the prettiest laces, bohemian all over ... and 100% pure vintage + made by the designer.
Loving how Cherry Tom;
* uses fabric from days of old
* uses her own time, not others, to source fabric and make her fashion
* is a north qld girl! Who ever would have thought ... !
* supports slow fashion - all about longevity and sustainability
Due in store any moment!!

go ga ga
So everyone's shopping up a storm for the Lady Ga Ga concert this weekend and ... as to be expected ... it's shoulders galore!
Now, you know your a superstar when the whole world starts dressing like you but there's no mistaking, shoulders are huge right now (in more ways than one) ... ha!
We've just got a cute little mini in with this fun shoulder detail - a great little basic to shmoo shmoo around in this season.
And, the countdown is on for the Style Stalker delivery!! Remember the awesome pieces from the trunk show!? They are nearly here!!!

prints that pop
Polly is always pretty heavy on the prints - our mantra is the cornetto 'no boring bits' - hence all our fashion pieces have some element of expression.
But it seems the prints are ESPECIALLY fun at the moment!
We have a super cute queen of hearts tee in the window today and I can't seem to stop imagining myself in this pretty flower mini (pic!) ...
And don't get me started on spots! We're doing them on dresses, tees, stockings and more. All very minnie mouse & cute ... WELCOME new season - love you already!

letters to juliet
Amanda Seyfried and her pretty eyes seem to popping up in films everywhere at the moment!
We just received the media release for Letters to Juliet and thought we'd give you a heads up that there will be a preview tix giveaway instore xxxx .
"When a young American (Amanda Seyfried) travels to the city of Verona, home of the star-crossed lover Juliet Capulet of Romeo and Juliet fame, she joins a group of volunteers who respond to letters to Juliet seeking advice about love. After answering one letter dated 1957, she inspires its author (Vanessa Redgrave) to travel to Italy in search of her long-lost love, and sets off a chain of events that will bring a love into both their lives unlike anything they ever imagined."
Directed by Gary Winick
Written by Jose Rivera and Tim Sullivan
In cinemas May 13 from Hoyts Distribution.
embellish me
How hot are all the shoulder details about at the moment!!!
We are LOVING all things shoulder pad. The bigger the better we say!
It's great that alot of the embellishment detail is removable also, making new season purchases that little bit more long lasting.
We just received the cutest on shoulder dress today with the most beautiful shoulder beading ...
These new fashion details just make shopping all the more fun.

streets ahead
Cooper St has always been a great label for special occasion pieces and party dresses that require a little bit more sophistication.
I'm pretty excited about the expansion of their new range however (new designer, new direction) ... they are heading down a street/club road now in addition to the beautiful frock walk that they are renowned for.
Expect great jackets for this season. Awesome shoulders and heaps of detail. Rad leggings, stretch dresses with cut outs in all the right places. And fabrics to die for.
Watch the face book for delivery previews!

play time
Last year it was the maxi ... the summer style that stayed for Winter.
This year, my bet is on the play suit.
Playsuits ... always a favourite for the Summer and with shorts & the onesy being a highly featured style on the SS10 catwalk, I wonder if we'll see them strutting on the streets for our AW ... ?
I've always been a fan of shorts back with tights and heels (very Mossy), but will we be brave enough to knock about with the playsuit, tights and boots ...
Time always tells! Happy shopping girls.
