My uniform

Ha ha I've lost my head : )
Tee hee head still missing : )
Dotti jeans
Bonds tee
Cue blazer
EOS boots (similar here)

Does it get better than jeans, tee and a blazer for a mindless (and stylish) outfit?
This little butterfly necklace is made using recycled aluminium, designed and made by fromblank who are an Aussie company whose designs are based on the re-use of materials and products! I was lucky enough to win this piece via their blog.

Out to bruch at Maling Road, Camberwell with one of bestest friends from my uni days, also a Michelle!  My friend Michelle is very tall so at uni she was "Big Michelle", I am a shorty so was "little Michelle" and we also had a middle Michelle! The three of us were inseperable thoughout uni and it was always a laugh introducing ourselves to people. Ahh such FUN times!!!  Our nicknames "Big" and "little" have stuck with us to this day too : )

Well today I'm wearing jeggings... (what was that you say), jeggings... (say again), okay I admit it, I am wearing JEGGINGS!  I know these are probably a mortal fashion sin but if you had seen that darn sexy Supre ad getting around on the Melbourne trams you would want these too!!

p.s. Awesome, awesome giveaway coming soon!!!
p.p.s I notice I have used a lot of exclamation (!) marks in this post, hope I haven't alarmed you.  I've just had a pretty good week and am a tad excitable at the moment.

My Melbourne - Chapel St

[2009- source: Scotticus]

A few of my lovely readers now have written to me and asked me to share my favourite spots in Melbourne.  Sooooooo, I thought I would start writing a post every now and again with a brief snapshot of favourite places here in my beloved Melbourne/ Victoria.  I hope you enjoy this series of posts, and if you have any requests for places you want me to write about around Melbourne please drop me a line (michellesstylefile@hotmail.com)

I have lived in some really, really beautiful places in Australia throughout my life- growing up in the Blue Mountains, Kiama on the South Coast of NSW, Canberra our National Capital, and of course Melbourne in Victoria. 

My husband and I moved to Melbourne from Canberra, virtually on a whim, 4.5 years ago and we haven't looked back since.  I quit my job that I loved, we sold our little house, we left our friends and family to embark on a bit of an adventure!  The lifestyle here is fabulous, over time we have made many wonderful friends, we think the food and coffee is amazing, and of course there is the fashion! And don't worry our families are only a short flight away : ) 


Chapel Street, South Yarra had to be my first of my My Melbourne series.  I simply love it!

SHOP:
Chapel St = Fashion!
Everything one could possible need is here on Chapel St, all the best fashion stores are here.  It has sophistication and style with many popular brand stores as well as designer labels and fashion boutiques. And the best bit- I always get good service (even if I'm in my daggy bicycle gear riding home from work and couldn't resist those seductive window displays!) 

If you love poking around bizarre bits and bobs from years past you have got to check out The Chapel St Bazaar.  It is a literal treasure trove filled with retro home wares, second hand chinaware, vintage jewellery and clothing.  Many an hour to be lost in here : )

EAT:
For brunch or coffee Kazbar is cosy, friendly and yummy.  Did I mention I LOVE COFFEE!!  I digress... for lunch my absolute favourite is Pink Ginger who make THE BEST brown rice sushi with plenty of green tea on tap (see HERE), plus I hear it is one of Danni Minouge's fav places! (Haven't spotted her yet though).  For dinner, trendy Greville St has heaps of great options.

DRINK:
There’s no better place to spend a lazy afternoon people watching than at The Imperial.  If you can make it there on a weekday, their lunch specials are brilliant too.

Have you ever been to Chapel St?

p.p.s. Back to outfits next post!
