Round she goes fashion market



Here's a few photos from the latest Round she goes fashion market Sunday before last at the fittingly retro Camberwell Centre. It was the busiest one so far, with crowds of people throughout the day and lots of great new stalls. I bought a fabulous 1960s black cocktail wiggle dress for myself. Look forward to posting some pictures when i finish a few little repairs.

The next fair is Sunday 4th of October - mark it in the diary! In the meantime check back soon for more info on the upcoming 'mini' Round she goes vintage market at a Melbourne central eco-fashion event in August.

4711 - hip like grandma & grandpa




My favourite fragrance at the moment - i love having a few on the go - is 4711, the original eau de cologne launched by the design house of Muelhens in 1792. It's a secret blend of essential oils with head notes of bergamont & citrus fruits, heart of lavender and rosemary and base notes of neroli (bitter orange blossom extract) which together make a fresh unisex fragrance.


I think it's the packaging i like best though, can't go past the colour combination of peacock blue and gold - think early seventies French riviera. Check out some great vintage TV commercials here.

Nike even released a 4711 design sneaker in 2007!
