Inspirational Shopping

Jump to Comments

Ducks and I went tramping about the shopping route less travelled but were not wholly impressed. Ann Siang was eh….aight but nothing spectacular. Thank goodness for perfect jeans at Actually huh huh? *nudge nudge poke poke*

But ELSEWHERE, there’s much to be had.

My recent puchases (more recent than the nine west shoes) include a black denim pencil skirt from Swedish denim house Dr Denim Jeansmakers which is stocked at Wooonderland in Wheelock Place. I plan on using this insidously at work, pretending its not denim and then wearing it with casual tops on the weekends. My other splurge is a lovely trench looking cropped jacket by Kate Hurst stocked at Antipodean (above Harry’s Bar in Holland V). It’s one of my new favourite shops, (my first and most beloved is still Puce in Palais Renaissance) and stocks wonderful little Australian indie labels in a spacious loft-like shop space. Kate Hurst, in particular, is my new favourite designer…her line, which started in the Bondi markets, is marked by her keen visionary aesthetic and artistic, edgy yet thoroughly feminine and body-conscious clothes. I love the way her collections are all designed with a specific person or character in mind. The best part is, the Sing and Aussie dollar are not so far removed, which means relatively affordable clothes. Yay!

Apart from that, I stumbled onto the most well edited of online boutiques yet! It’s so refreshing to see that not all online boutiques have been swallowed by the all-engulfing maw of shopbop. Zoe seems to stock practically ALL my favourite labels but so carefully chosen that you could almost forget you’re actually shopping online. I’m definitely dropping by the brick and motar shop if I ever do go to Brooklyn or Princeton.
