I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek the other day at sass & bide’s latest collection, Stand & Deliver, which is arriving in store from now to May. There are some great wearable pieces (unlike the Seekerstate collection, which is very seasonal) and some fantastic western and Egyptian inspired accessories from the amazing Pip Edwards. Here’s a sneak peak of some of my favourites… See more at sass & bide

Wow! It’s May already. It’s come around so fast. We’re nearly half way through the year. Time to update my wall calendar.
For a couple of years now, I’ve created my own using kikki.K’s DIY Calendar
You can use snaps of your own, family and friends, or use it as a mini mood board for the month.
This month I’ve got one of the shots from the sass & bide papa sucre look book. And a quote I picked for the month:
“A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort!” – Herm Albright
What’s your mantra for May?

Back in November (2010) I came home to find a beautiful vellum envelope in my letterbox. In it I found a cream postcard imprinted with bronze foil lettering which read “Heidi Middleton & Sarah-Jane Clarke invite you to Christmas drinks at the sass & bide Chapel Street boutique”.
I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited to receive a letter in my life. So much better than the bills I usually receive.
So, on Thursday 2nd December I entered the Chapel Street boutique which was already filling with other sass & bide enthusiasts – customers, media, Melbourne socialites and of course the always fabulous sass & bide crew. It was a sea of sass & bide clothing, old and new, all worn
superbly.
I chatted to the very lovely Lauren from the Melbourne Central boutique for awhile… then she asked me if I’d met SJ. I turned to my right to see a stunning beach blonde wearing an amazing petrol gray trench (which is in stores later this year – I want one!) and glittery blue dress. It was none other than Sarah-Jane Clarke. No joke, I nearly didn’t recognise her.
We’ve all seen the gorgeous photos of SJ (I hope you don’t mind if I call you that), but she really is something in person. She’s simply stunning, and so warm and friendly. I have to say, it’s great when you get to meet your fashion idols and they exceed your expectations.
I then chatted with the guys from Epicure, who catered the event, the sass & bide girls from the boutiques (who scarily know me a little too well) and met the absolutely fabulous Divya who works in communications at the head office in Sydney.
All in all it was a fabulous night and was an honour to be invited.
Pop in to sass & bide today to see the first drop of the new papa sucre AW11 collection.
