Samantha Wills reached out to Aussie fashion bloggers recently with a proposal: A bloggers edit of key pieces from the Portraits of Dusk collection inspired by New York sun sets.

Adelaide label Sainte Lucie has only been around for a couple of collections now but I have a feeling that it's one Australian label you will start to see plenty of. Lucy Tucker creates intelligent pieces made from silks and cottons making them wearable but light with a certain delicacy.

Spring Summer collection showings are in full swing at the moment and after visiting Raoul last week I popped in to see the lovely folks at Bam Brands.

I've been really sick this weekend, which is handy in a way because it means your work week isn't interrupted. Not a great deal can be done about my health or the weather however so as I lay on the couch today I thought about some of my favourite things that I use every day or that make me happy.

Recently I caught up with the creative director of Cloud Nine Australia Lauren McCowan who spent last year living and working in New York. You can check out her superb work here not to mention her blog- we love that!
