Juliette Hogan SS15/16

I adore my Juliette Hogan pieces and get a tonne of mileage out of them. I'm very excited about her new-season collection with its soft colour palette and familiar soft draping. Here are some of my favourites:

Cohen Shirt $329

Raven Short $329

Lawn Jumpsuit $579

Melrose Tank $289

Rebel Skirt $429

Cashmere V-Neck Sweater $499

Turtlenecks

So as I mentioned in a previous post, with my newly-minted C-sized bust, I was so looking forward to investing in a new turtleneck this season.

Even as an F cup, I would wear them, even though it looked like I had stuffed the Goodyear Blimp down there. The same charcoal grey merino one from Country Road. Well, my one just gave up the ghost after six faithful years, and Country Road informed me that they would not be repeating this style this season. Sigh.

So I tried on Juliette Hogan's offering in black merino. Gorgeous, matte-black fine merino but the L was too snug. On to Gregory. Their version is lovely, a great fit and $50 cheaper. But I honestly couldn't make my mind up about it. Even with a smaller bust, I think I might have outgrown this style. The fashion gods work in mysterious (frustrating) ways.

I ended up buying one from Glassons for $39.95. It's not as fine as the others, but it will do the job (and come in handy for layering). My turtleneck is still a staple, just more a layering piece rather than the star of the show.

And tonight I looked on Country Road's website to be greeted with this! Not exactly the same style as yesteryear, but I'll give it a go!

The Black Silk Blouse

My new Juliette Hogan black silk blouse gets its first outing tonight at a friend's 50th. Gorgeous tailoring and sumptuous fabric, at $399 it's a real investment piece. Nice to find a local designer with at least some pieces that flatter a larger frame. This blouse is just the right length and has a plain crew neck and buttons down the back. And it fits and (flatters) my ridiculous bust. Here it is in cream:
