Book a private one on one shopping and champagne session with The Fashion Advocate

November 07, 2019

If you're a lover of shopping, champagne, coffee and good company, book a private one on one session with me at our Beaumaris store. I don’t bite, I’m super friendly, and if you’re in the mood for coffee or champagne (or both), it’s on me.

In 2016, I spent $6500 on fashion. In 2017, I bought only Australian-made clothes. In 2018, I spent $9 on a pre-loved outfit, but otherwise, bought no new clothes. Yep, I tried the minimalist thing and bought nothing for 365 days.

November 01, 2018

This entire outfit has made by a woman who I’ve known for more than half a decade. She has children, she is passionate, she is incredibly talented, and she has never swayed from her values, remaining ethical and Australian made.

I believe every woman deserves to own one high quality, handcrafted, sustainably dyed and ethically sourced leather garment – if she wants to.

Pre-loved thrift shop treasures

September 07, 2017

I’m a thrift shopper from way back. Growing up in a small country town meant little shopping diversity, so I would trawl my local op shops for vintage treasures and unique finds.

Short and sweet

September 05, 2017

Melbourne may not have cottoned on yet, but Spring has officially arrived and the sun baby within me is ready to shed some layers.

August 29, 2017

Spring is my favourite season of the year; the sun starts coming out, I can ditch the layers and don more colour, and fresh flowers are aplenty.

June 07, 2017

I love prints. I love colour. I love clashing prints and colour, but there’s a fine line between looking great and looking ghastly.

Fashion Revolution Week

April 24, 2017

Fashion begins with a single idea; it is inspired, creative, it is powerful and meaningful, but the process from this pure state of conception to that of creation, is rarely questioned.

April 22, 2017

It’s no secret that the traditional corporate wardrobe can be a little drab. Confined to black pencil skirts, boxy blazers and dated court shoes, the office outlook is usually grim – but it doesn’t have to be.

January 10, 2017

Today marks the launch of The Fashion Advocate’s 2017 Australian made campaign, a 12-month project which will see local fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands receive the attention and promotion they deserve.

The latest shoot from stylist Jac Dohrmann has dropped and it lives up to its name: ‘Vibrancy’ is a colourful collision of pieces from a range of quirky Australian labels.

April 05, 2016

If I could follow the sun throughout the year and skip winter, I would. I’m a beach lover at heart and take full advantage of any chance I can to ditch my heels, wash off my make-up and laze around poolside or lap up some rays at the beach.

February 05, 2016

‘Style’ is a complex thing, and it’s not to be confused with ‘fashion’. Coco Chanel had many things to say about it, but one of her most memorable quotes was, “Fashion changes, only style remains the same.”

February 19, 2015

I couldn’t help myself. With all the hype surrounding the release of Fifty Shades of Grey on screen, I just had to put a fashion spin on it.

February 15, 2015

The ‘classic casual’ is a look that I’ve perfected: fit for unplanned catch-ups, accidental bump-in to's and everything in-between, a carefully considered ‘I woke up like this’ outfit should be kept at the front of every wardrobe.

Kyah’s Summer Essentials

February 15, 2015

It may be overcast in Melbourne today, but the sun isn’t going anywhere this season! Kyah’s top 5 Summer must-haves will have you armed and ready for those long balmy days and cool party nights.
