About “Earn // Your // Stripes”

April 26th, 2011

DO YOU favour bold strokes? Or wispy thin lines?

This month, we walk the line with stripes, stripes, and more stripes.

A perennial favourite with everyone, stripes are no fuss, night or day. Some stripes are graphic and striking, others seem pale and shrinking.

Our model for this month’s shoot is Lucie Hanon – fresh from Paris! – whom we picked for her pared-down beauty.

Unadorned, with little or no accessories, Lucie earned her stripes by adding a certain je ne sais quoi to the photoshoot. The clothing, we paired with – what else? – super duper cool French Feiyue sneakers!

It was perfect in keeping with the casualness of it all.

And oh yeah, we shot everything in a stairwell.

That said, we have loads of fabulous pieces in the store which we did not manage to include in the photoshoot. Too hot, and too little time!

Come check us out. For enquiries, please call the shop at 6336 9774.

Wild instinct!

April 5th, 2011

BRING OUT the wild cat in you!

This crazy gold mesh belt has an awesome rhinestone-encrusted buckle in the shape of a crouching jaguar.

It’s one of a kind, and most unusual. It’s the first of its kind we have seen in six years of Granny’s Day Out!

Come get it.

Bling + Gold + Mesh + Leopard + Rhinestones = A very fierce 1980s belt!
