Happy New Fashion Year!

Bonjour to all faithful readers ... we are back onboard after - as many would know - the extreme sport known as School Holidays! This week Chrissy and I both started our first little chicks at Big School, so we are breathing a sigh of relief and fondly imagine we will be free for hours of blogging time. Of course, all mothers reading this will know we are delirious and will soon realise it's only going to get busier.

However, we are very excited about indulging you the reader and ourselves in as much fashion news as possible.

Here's what we have coming up on the calender:

Chrissy will be attending the Portmans Fashion Workshop so we will have some first-hand knowledge of strong winter trends and how to work your wardrobe - without of course overdoing the budget.

David Jones Winter 2007 Collections Launch and Fashion Previews which are a great way to see a range of fashion trends for the upcoming season. Keeping in mind that our coolest weather is not really till June, Australian designers are wonderful at bridging that long transitional period before coat and gloves time. Of course, depending on where you live, you may be able to extend the season!

Hot news: Superstar designer Stella McCartney will be releasing a small collection for Target Australia! We've heard it will be instore around March 12, but stay tuned. The full collection will be seen on the catwalk during the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival in March.

And of course, we will continue to nominate our favourite budget finds each month, with recommendations and styling tips.
