Lady in blue

May 18, 2012 Contemporary business wear

A short and sweet post to end this week of BusinessChic to show how colour blocking completely lifts a work ensemble. Do it, in blue! Just a heads up that while my LBD project posts will go live on Sunday as always – I’m going to take a break from blogging. I’ve been blogging daily [...]

Business women in blue

May 17, 2012 Contemporary business wear

Hey BusiChic, Have you ever rocked up to work wearing the same thing as a colleague? My old workplace was just up the road from a Herringbone shop and y0ou could always tell when they had just had a sale because all of us would show up to work in the same shirts! Today’s BusiChics [...]

A beaded skirt

May 16, 2012 Contemporary business wear

Gosh Sydney, you really do have better weather! I think that I photographed today’s almost summery BusiChic on a day that the weather was veritably arctic back home. What struck about today’s workwear ensembel was how the beaded skirt and ribbon-backed shoes weren’t items I’d expect to see in an office. However as the ensemble [...]

Sydney and thoughts on work place dress codes

May 15, 2012 Contemporary business wear

Another post from sunshine-y Sydney! As much as I love Sydney, I always feel a little disoriented and find myself slinking into laneways that remind me of Melbourne. I was in one such laneway waiting for coffee when I spied Laura’s fresh and fab dress from Cue brightening up the laneway and dashed out to [...]

A tailor-made suit in Sydney

May 14, 2012 Autumn

Greetings BusiChic, I hope that you had a great weekend! From the low temperatures and heavy downpours we had down here in Melbourne, I think it’s safe to say that the cold has set in! Normally, I’d like to match the style I feature here to the weather, however I am having to find a [...]

Photographer chic at MBFWA

May 10, 2012 Australian Fashion Week (MBFWA)

Dearest BusiChic, While attending fashion shows might sound glamorous, the truth is that folks like me are in the less glam position of sitting in the media riser. Wait that sounds too kushy – usually the photographers are sandwiched together, some even kneeling throughout whole shows in order to get the best shots of models [...]

The perfect denier

May 3, 2012 Autumn

Today’s BusiChic is the quintessence of Contemporary Business Wear. Professional in a blazer but with enough timeless style to move on to drinks and dinner afterwork and it also got me thinking about the perfect denier for stockings. Denier is the term given to the density of fibres in a fabric like stockings. Now that [...]
