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

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!

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.

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

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

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.

lula = love

lula = love

Things I love are ... pink nail polish, tiny biscuits & tea, wild flowers and LULA.

LULA only comes out every 6 months but the pictures are so pretty that I can keep looking at them for that long.

It's not a magazine that is easy to get a hold of ... in Brisbane I think the only place that stocks them is the agent is The Wintergarden.

But every time ... wowee ... it get's prettier.

This month they were loving polka dots, and over exposed pastel images.  I love they way art is mixed with fashion mixed with lifestyle ... in the most lovely whimsical way.

6 more months until next time ...

it's all white verve

it's all white verve

I spent WAY to much money today so I hope you girlies LOVE this new White Verve collection (due Aug/Sep)!!

We've had a little delivery from White Verve once before but being a new label and testing the market ... they've changed ... and WAY for the better.  It was the most AMAZING showing.

The palette was all about black, charcoals, ballet pink, faded khaki & fuschia.  The feel was glamour street.  The styling was all open shoulders line, tank style dresses, open backs and tiny, tiny, tiny stud detailing.   Making everything very heavy ... but femme, very femme.

Will be sure to get you some pixies as soon as I can otherwise, the lookbook's in store for you if you'd like a lil peeky!

what's your flavour?

what's your flavour?

Fashion is faster than ever.  Seriously, the skates are getting really speedy.

We have just landed the !CUTEST! powder pink mini and a size run of drool worthy ice mint day dresses ...

Candy is a HUGE look for 2010 SS - just hitting the shelves overseas ... but here we have it in Australia for the end of our Summer season!  Confusing really ... all so inside out and back to front.

Anyhow, we are LOVING candy as a fun way to keep colour in your wardrobe as we move towards Autumn.

We can all tap dance about in it now while it's 30c and for the moment, dream about putting it under a stud jacket or back with black and the temp starts to lower.

Hmmm ... my flavour of choice is strawberry ... what about you!?

is online glossie?

is online glossie?

I love having five minutes spare ... it doesn't happen very often but when I do, I love, love, love to sit down with lil latte & glossie combo and dream, dream, dream away.

Have just finished the second half of 'my look book' (on line fashion mag) and am really curious as to what others think of online mags compared to real life fashion editorials?

What are the pros?  What makes them not as strong?  What are your favourites?

Style stalker obviously got a hold of the latest Vogue before I did ... they've channeled the scuba barbie thing straight into the front of their SS collection.

And it's HOT!

All surfboards, wetsuits and hot pink lipstick ... I've never picked so much from one collection EVER before!

LOVING the pretty blues and aqua marine colours that have been injected into their super reliable silhouettes.

The look books instore if you want a sneak peek but expect lots of hot minis again.  Cut outs in all the right places and some amazing swing dresses just to make your heart beat that little bit faster.

Oh .. and the tights.  They're the best.  All cut out knees.  White bone stitching and lycras that hold those legs in all the right places.

Shot gun the silver sequin shorties ... they were styled in the showing with a powder pink balmainesque blazer and left me with hearts coming out of my eyes.

Style Stalker is also very well known for its LBD collections ... and once again, a phenomena is on order.

Due July/Aug ... I hate this waiting thing.  Am off to put on my patient shoes.

loving mannequin

loving mannequin

You may or may not have seen the Mannequin swim collection this summer at POLLY!  They made the prettiest bikinis and feature full pieces ... and like all fashion goodness ... they flew away quickly!

This designer used to head up the Zimmerman design team.  You can see a definite influence in her new brand (Mannequin) & the fashion/beach feature pieces she creates.

What I love about her cossies are the extra mile features ... pretty beads, extra frills, interesting back lines and amazing lycra quality.

My favourite from the showing was a purple/mauve organic garden print high waist full piece.  ASK in store if you want to see some pix!

And the fashion is so unique.  Designs that speak pure originality.  Some delicious mesh cut out maxis on on their way and a rad rad pussy bow blouse in a red tie dye  ... see it to believe it.

Mannequin ... we love you!
