Sydney and thoughts on work place dress codes

May 15, 2012 Contemporary business wear

Photographer chic at MBFWA

May 10, 2012 Australian Fashion Week (MBFWA)

May 2, 2012 Autumn

Melbourne. It’s my city and I love sharing it! Something that I don’t believe I’ve shared here on BusiChic before is the freelance work I do holding tours around Melbourne’s fashion precincts.
