Lost & Found

Hello dear friends!

It's lovely to be reporting to you from Sydney to wherever you are in are in the world.

Funny enough though, my first post isn't about Sydney, but I'm looking a little further south to tell you about a little known pop-up hotel coming soon.

The Lost & Found Hotel in Melbourne is open for 3 months from 1 June to 31 August 2010- and I can't think of a better reason to visit.

Except for maybe the fact that all the rooms are decked out in products by local designers. And there's a dedicated concierge, a concierge who just happens to be a writer for the Lost & Found Publication. Plus it's Melbourne, think of the fashion, art, and just one more coffee.....just because you can.

By the way, did I mention it's free?

That's right. Registrations opened today so I'd be quick! And remember, if you get chosen, make sure you do some shopping for us!

Helsinki style: mixing the old with the new

Back to STYLESOFIA.COM >

Good morning loves! We were just told of a little mention we received at Helsinki Vintage. Tine Kozjak, photographer and fashion enthusiast gave everyone a little insight about how to wear vintage the right way, with newer pieces fresh from the runway. Read the full feature here.

For those who can't read Finnish, here is a translation;

TINE.

Q: What attracts you the most about vintage ?

I am fascinated about the union of old and new, hence i often combine my vintage pieces with newer additions i have. Some are expensive and some cheaper, and they must feel good to me. Clothing should exude a certain feeling or mood.

Q: How do you shop for vintage?

Via flea markets and individual sellers. I made some interesting discoveries last week! I managed to find and buy some Helmut Lang and Marjan Pejoskin pieces for a great price..

Q: What about online shopping?

You should really visit STYLESOFIA.COM. They offer pieces sourced from all over the world and you'd make some interesting and unique discoveries there.

Q: What advice would you give to beginners about searching for the perfect piece?

I actually think the cut is firstly important, and then comes color. Never buy anything that isn't well made.

End of mini interview

So that was it. We hope you enjoyed this feature and thank you Tine for mentioning us!

Congrats Jamie on LFW!

Good morning everyone! A little congratulatory post to Jamie for setting up a fantastic booth at London Fashion week last February.

The set-up looked amazing and so well planned, if only we could be there! The images we shot together were used and thank you everyone for your inquiries and support for STYLESOFIA!

Jamie will be coming up with a range of eco-friendly bags, so stay tuned!

A tribute wall to Alexander McQueen.

Thank you Jamie for the images!

Athough we currently have our eyes on Milan fashion week, we still find these images utterly inspiring. Print on print, fur (faux we hope!), a ton of colors & great vibes altogether. What are your thoughts?
