I’ve learned that Summer in Sydney means everyone goes gelato-crazy, the new Spring/Summer stuff is already on sale (yay!) and Birkenstocks are all the rage. So I thought I’d try to fit in (and don’t worry, I’ve already had gelato three times).
For the last five days, I’ve been exploring the wonderful city of Sydney. And because there’s only so much I can say with a filtered photo and a caption, I wanted to give you a few updates on what’s been going on down under (warning: it’s mostly eating and shopping).
With my venture to the land down under happening later today (weather depending, thanks Chicago) this seemed like the perfect opportunity to gush over some Australian labels you need to know. Not only are these brands creating cool clothes, but they’re actually making things that are reasonably priced. Even better…you don’t necessarily need to travel over 9,000 miles to get them.
Ever since a trip to Australia nearly three years ago, I quickly grew fond of all things Aussie — food (excluding Vegemite), accents, exotic animals and of course fashion. It started with some boutiques I enjoyed shopping at and it turned into a full on obsession with stalking Australian designers. And with Fashion Week Australia coming to a close last week, I thought I’d take this opportunity to talk about some designers I especially fancied for Fall 2013.
