The super stylish Loren Abood, owner of chic Elizabeth Bay store bloodorange, gives us a picture tour of her recent buying trip to the European shows. A journal of inspirations from her day-to-day life.

Love my new (Prada) green banana’s!

Wake up light…in Paris I stay at a gorgeously friendly little boutique hotel.

Frequent naughtiness at Laduree.

The Lanvin windows are always so clever but I’ve never seen them so cheeky.

Regimented tree tops in the Tuileries.

Buying trip life lines…my Air & a pastry or two or three etc.

A special visit to Alaia’s showroom with architectural & furniture details by Marc Newson. Julian Schnabel portraits of Alaia & Stephanie Seymour.

Cliched but couldn’t care less…sunset in the Tuileries is breathtaking.

My next stop in Melbourne was to drop in on, only 2 weeks to go, Arabella Ramsay. She’s as chilled as they come & makes pregnancy look so damn hot!

Its all about a cut off denim short in the world of Arabella Ramsay, the staff are hooked!

Event: Richard Nicoll for Sportsgirl
Location: Melbourne’s ACCA
Drink: Lots of RED wine

If you weren’t wearing that iconic Sportsgirls RED somewhere even just on your lips you may aswell have stayed in. Lara Bingle, however, didn’t get sent home in her non RED vintage Balenciaga. Guests were on fire!

Summer is coming to an end: no more Bondi, no more Island and no more Moonlight Cinema. But before you start planning your escape, I’ll let you in on a little secret; we wear it now! As the winter days become shorter, we can enjoy longer nights wearing a wardrobe inspired by Fall 2011 shows, whilst the rest of the world is forced to wait six months!

Skivvy it up: it’s time to get high.

When high fashion meets the high street it’s a beautiful thing, especially when it’s one of my favourite Australian designers Mr. Dion Lee. Dion’s collection for Cue, has dropped into store with more landing on April 2nd and May 3rd. I have my eye on a khaki cotton shirt for $95.

The beautiful Tali Lennox, daughter of Annie Lennox, and Bryan Ferry’s gorgeous son, Tara Ferry, are the perfect duo used by Burberry to inspire us this  season. The celebrity children look so alluring in their leather, making me think, why would I want to wear anything else this winter?

Burberry leather jacket $4395. Available in stores now.

This season I want punk; I want tough; I want this Burberry leather jacket!

I was getting my hair done at the Valonz this morning chatting to a jetlagged Renya Xydis just back from LA. Renya (pictured above) is Cate Blanchett’s hair stylist. Here, behind the scenes, at the Chateau Marmont preparing for the Oscars. Her incredible Givenchy Couture dress was made up of 3 pieces. For more pics check out the the Valonz blog.
