Take one dress, styling my market day find

Take one dress by joslene featuring a stacked heel

I brought a dress on the weekend nearly eactly the same as the dresses I have featured here. It is a long, dark grey t-shirt dress. I picked it up for the bargain price of $25. I have been playing around on Polyvore & I think I have found the perfect colour to go with the dress....
fire engine red!

I also love the look of the dress with a funky denim jacket.

What do you think?

Camilla, todays fashion eye candy

Camilla by joslene featuring a halter dress

I have fallen in love. With a fashion icon!
When I entered the Camilla boutique last night at James Street it was like stepping into a fantasy world. The colours, the clothes......magical. Such beautiful liquid silk fabrics used in such a simple design that is just perfect.

These kaftan's & dresses are not cheap but just the experience of feeling one, sent me into a frenzy. I have no idea where they manage to find such a perfect fabric but I think it was made in fabric heaven.

I am now putting "owning a Camilla kaftan" on the top of my bucket list.

Fashion heaven!

That is my new name for James Street, Fortitude Valley in Brisbane.

Seriously, all of the most fabulous designers in one street!

Here is some of my fave shops on James Street

Camilla is my number one.

Ok, Camilla….the most beautiful kaftans, dresses & tops that I have even seen! The fabric that are used for this clothing line are simply stunning. They feel like liquid silk between your fingers. I could image slipping on one of these stunning kaftans & feeling like a million dollars. The colours are a range of vibrant, beautiful, eye catching to the more peaceful, serene pastels that I have ever seen.

And of course, bubbly & sushi!

There was street entertainment & even a Caribbean band.

Who doesn’t love to have a little boogie while shopping?

There is the fabulous Mecca Cosmetica. You could not walk past this beautiful shop with the most amazing window painting.

Shoes, clutches & all that sparkle…..

it must be Nat-Sui.

(whose goodies bag was fabulous!)

Looking for beautiful & unique things for your home?

James Street has the shops for you!

sass & bide. Need I say anymore?

Check out this fabulous window display from Frock shop! It is a dress made from pages of marie claire!

It was amazing!

There was something fantastic in every shop!

My favourite part of the night was meeting the ever fabulous & always beautiful Jackie Frank, Editor of marie claire magazine Australia.

When I got home & jumped online (as you do), I found that as she had promised, Jackie posted a photo on twitter that she took of us out the front of the marie claire pop up shop

It was a fabulous event!

Thanks to marie claire & James Street for a fabulous night.
