Editor's Note 31st August 2010

Did you catch all the red carpet action from yesterday’s Emmy Awards? I have to admit that I love playing ‘fashion police’ –it’s pretty fun to debate which celeb’s style is a success, and which is a miserable failure.

Editor's Note 27th July 2010

Last week, I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to meet and interview Australian designer Collette Dinnigan about her fabulous new lingerie collaboration with Farmers, ‘Collette by Collette Dinnigan’. Collette is known for her feminine, pretty designs, and the new collection definitely reflects that. And best of all, you can get a piece of Collette’s signature designer luxury for a great price, with the lingerie starting from a tiny $19. Read my interview with...
