Word on the street II

...Fashion Avenue is the latest parade to hit Adelaide, aiming to showcase up and coming designers to local media, established designers and boutique owners. 7-11pm, Friday 8 May at Queens Theatre (Cnr Playhouse Lane & Gilles St). Tickets are $30 pre sold or $40 at the door and include chandon on arrival; parades begin at 8pm.


...Who says you have to spend money to get more clothes? Retailers! Um, yeah. Well, don't fall for it, because My Sister's Wardrobe is coming to Adelaide this Tuesday (21 April). This is another fantastic style-swapping event which allows you to exchange your etiolated clothes at the back of the wardrobe for even more borderline unneccesary apparel! Quality is just about guaranteed, and on top of that you can be sure that only Adelaide's most stylish will be there. Admission is $18 online or $20 at the door and includes bubbly, and is held at Garage Bar (163 Waymouth St). Doors open at 6:30pm but actual swapping doesn't start till 7pm. (Lucky me, I reckon I can just make it there from work!) I am so excited about this that I think I might actually skip the Human Rights Community Roundtable. (Yes, I have the most ironic set of interests...)

...Another day, another eBay item. If you love H&M and tuxedo waistcoats as much as I do, bid. UPDATE: I just listed a lovely lace scarf as well!

PS: Just found out that Scott Schuman (The Sartorialist) and Garance Dore are coming to Australia for fashion week! Get your best outfits on, ladies and gentlemen. I hope I don't see them, or I just might stalk them and get arrested. I don't want a criminal record.
