Intervention Required! Readers Please HELP!

‘Dear readers,

As fabulous and stylish as my dear friend Hannah is I realised it’s time for an intervention. Yes… a sunglass intervention! In writing our previous story I went through and did an autopsy on my sunglass collection to discover it to be healthy (varied and substantial). Hannah and I were originally thinking of including photos. When I saw Hannah’s photos I knew… it was time! They all look pretty much the same! Yes, I know that there are minor but important detail differences but in essence they do all look pretty much the same! (see pics below)

Death in the High Street

Bye, Bye, Boutiques

Much of our 2OPINIONATED, 1980′s misspent youth was spent perusing the boutiques, restaurants and sometimes bars of Oxford St Paddington. Cast your mind back (if you can) to the absolute heyday of Paddington… it was a time when we considered it essential to allocate hours each week to researching our Saturday night outfits in the Oxford St shops. Olya and I were very fortunate during this time… not only were the best boutiques located just a stones throw away… but very conveniently, the nightclub of the moment (Paddo’s) was located around the corner from my Underwood St home.  We would tell me parents that we were heading to Oxford St for pizza…when in reality we were popping around the corner to Paddo’s for a ‘party pash” – ah to be young!

Has Kate Spade run out of her own ideas ?

An Unhappy Marriage

We must have missed the press release on this one… so you can imagine our horror when we opened the March US Vogue to see this ad for Florence Broadhurst for Kate Spade.

This disturbs me terribly as I love, love, love all the Florence Broadhurst prints and I absolutely loathe the Kate Spade label – Hannah Brooks

Gucci Fall/Winter 12 Preview

Do tweens want to wear the same labels as their mums?

Playing dress up – Witchery 8fourteen

Is Witchery really appealing to the “next generation” in launching a new range for 8-14 year-olds, labelled 8fourteen? Have a closer look at  the 8fourteen range at www.witchery.com.au

When we were teens we wouldn’t even walk down the street with our Mums…let alone wear their clothes. We’re wondering if this is a shrewd move by Witchery or a total strategic miscalculation like the launch of their menswear range in 2009 (see clip below) ?
