Ruck Rover has lots of fun items in store at the moment. There is lots of colour around and a massive range of cute wooden accessories that are really making a comeback at the moment.

They are also having their biggest sale yet – how convenient! All clothing is reduced 10-30%, even new arrivals. All short sleeved tee shirts, men’s and women’s, are $40 regardless of original price or how new they are – that’s a saving of 20-40%. All sunglasses are only $20, which is $10 off. Lots of jewellery will be 10-40% off. Yowza. Plus a stack of other stuff will also be marked down, bags, stationery and other fun things.

I first discovered Betsey Johnson in a pic of Holly Madison who absolutely rocked the skull sweater dress! The range reminds me a little of Patricia Field and like PF will also ship to the land down under.

I’m sure there is stockists in Oz but to see the full range, head to www.betseyjohnson.com

Last night I battled the humid summer air armed with a camera, a surfboard looking badge (don’t ask), and an truckload of enthusiasm. ‘Twas the night of Bare, an exhibition put on by ECU’s Contemporary Fashion majors; what a show! All students put out some amazing work and it was a pleasure to be a part of the auditory and visual feast that was the unique catwalk experience on offer. I have posted a few pics below but if you desire more, more, more…head to:

Congrats to all the people involved in putting this night together, I can’t wait to see what pathways these talented people head down next!

Let’s be honest, how many of us can actually pull off the ‘boyfriend jeans’ look? Even Katie Holmes, the official face of this trend can no longer hold claim to the slice of cool this look once held. Fret not though as this trend has not escaped us completely but simply reformed itself in the shape of denim boyfriend shorts. Kate Moss has been rocking them for a few years now, Taylor Momsen more recently…and if you get in quick you can catch the beginning of this wave instead of getting dumped at the end…ouch. Now before you lose your mind trying to imagine this, have a look at the below pics and ease those wrinkles of confusion from your forehead.

Jeanswest Madeline Denim Short $49.99

You could always buy a loose fit womens pair to pass as this or an old pair of boyfriend jeans accompanied by some scissors. The clincher is in the roll – the cuff of the shorts must be rolled, no cut offs here my dear.

Hurley Boyfriend Shorts $54

And while we’re at it, put your pockets away too. Teared, weared, and worn also adds to the appeal and I definately think lighter denim is the way to go for this look.

One Teaspoon Baby's Vintage Shorts $35 (Sale)

Or even better, get the real deal from your fave vintage shop. Authentic wear and tear – nothing beats it.

Team with a soft, extra long belt. This one from Generics is excellent and you can get it from the FashionWA website.

Generics Belt $55 (FashionWA)

And finish with an el cheapo top half i.e. Bonds singlet, oversized tee, vintage boys tee and a pair of worn brown sandals and your done!

Model Jessica Stam Pulls It All Together

A big conrats to Em over at www.dropstitch.com.au for her full page feature in this month’s Cleo! Show some support and pic up a mag or even better, become a regular on the site. Dropstitch is where it is at for Perth street fashion so hop to it!

Did I mention that this month’s Cleo comes with a free maxi dress?! Ok, so it probably won’t fit over my large chest area but I am damn well going to give it a go. It comes in a burnt orange or black and is um…10x better than a free beach tote or week’s gym membership!
