SWEET NOSTALGIA

YOURS TRULY XOXO

SOME TOTALLY SWEET PINSPO @CHIPCHOPFASHION

THE NEW SWEET TALKERS COLLECTION IS SWEET AS CANDY...LITERALLY

MEET SARAH: OUR COFFEE SHOP BABE & FACE OF OUR NEW CAMPAIGN HERE

Can I just start buy saying #BeMine

Chip Chop! have just launched their dreamy Summer collection, Sweet Talkers, and I just want to say, I’m all over it. Quite literally, I have covered myself, and my house in these sweet nostalgic slogans.

It’s a range inspired by those iconic heart shaped candies – focusing on upbeat, old school romantic sayings in a wide range of vintage tees and lifestyle. There are 6 colours to collect – all in the most delicious washed out pastel pop shades.

I’m eating at home, and inviting people over, just to show off my Sweet Talkers plates. And clearly with all of this nostalgia, it’s time for a movie marathon on the couch chillin’ with my new cushion covers, followed by a slumber party to show off my new pillowcases to my BFFs #PILLOWFIGHT.

But more importantly, there is a little reference to my blog in there too. #forreals.

They’ve made me some merch! This season you’ll find my slogan ‘WHO GIVES A BLOG’ on totes & tops.  Not to mention a ‘FRENCH GIRLS ROCK’ print too. #inlove

So let’s take it back girls, to a time when things were simpler. A time when text messaging meant receiving a little heart shaped candy with a sweet message inscribed. What a dream come true. #vintage

MEET SARAH AND HER SISTERS

MEET SARAH AND HER SISTERS

I picked up a girl a few months ago. I first met Sarah (and her sisters) when I sat down at Piccolo Espresso, a cute local cafe around the corner from my studio in Prahran. Sarah asked me for my order and I asked her for her name. It's not every day you meet someone so naturally beautiful. 

I was scouting the model for our upcoming collection, Sweet Talkers. I was looking for a 'real girl' - someone who would embody the concept of the 'au-naturel' photoshoot. Boom! Sarah handed me my skinny latte and I handed her my phone number scrawled on the back of a serviette (cause I still don't have business cards - yep, I'm a professional).

After a few shy giggles asking me if I was serious - 'but I'm not a model - I'm a waitress' (which made me love her even more) - to which I answered 'Yes I'm serious' - and also - 'I promise I'm not a weirdo creep' for Sarah to give me her trademark movie star smile and a big 'YES!'. 

A few days later Sarah came in for a casting - and we were hooked on her. She instantly become our Sweet Talker girl - the perfect mix of girly and grunge. Raw & real. Sweet but not in an unnatural way.

Piccolo cafe is owned by the Kokkinos girls - Natalie, Sarah & Bridget. These girls have the best hair in the business - oh and great coffee, food and service too. They are like the nicest, prettiest girls you can ever meet and they run a tight little ship. Put them in a room together and it's like a giggle-a-thon.

Here are some happy snaps of them after hours - you might be able to spot some of our brand new melamine plates in there too from Sweet Talkers, the Summer 13 collection

PS. Sarah joined instagram yesterday (#newbie)
You can follow her on her brand new account @brandondoesitbetter

DJ SARAH ON THE PLATES.

FUNNY THING ABOUT THESE PLATES, IS THAT THEY'RE FUNNY.

SERVICE WITH A SMILE.

90S FLASH BACK

A closet full of clothes & nothing to wear!

She used to be farmer.

Dress-ups with my cat Prada

So I just finished watching Clueless for the billionth time - like duh! Cher Horowitz is my idol. We should totally be #bffs. 

Clueless is my go-to happy film. And Cher was totally a blogger in the making – just without the technology at hand. 

Though, she did have that #amaze program (preceding Photoshop) which allowed her to see what she looked like in each outfit without having to change clothes #genius.

I’m still doing it the #oldschool way and covering my bed, floor and sometimes my cat, Prada, with endless attempted outfits.

So this one is for Cher, a classic quote transported from the 90’s and translated into the blogger world: 'She could be a blogger in those clothes...'

AND THEY'RE OFF

Über babe Jean Shrimpton rocks the mini - total style inspo!

That’s right ladies, it’s time to get off your high horse and stop horsing around, it’s the Melbourne Cup. #holiday.
 
Wild horses couldn’t drag us away from looking #amazing on the field.
 
I’m putting my bets on the Blogger Trifecta. It’s a sure-win every time. 

1. Strike a peace sign 

2. Grab your big shades   and 
3. accessorise with a tall glass of French bubbles 

because as they say ladies, you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.

You heard it straight from the horses mouth. #punny
