Mrs Press & Co

Mrs Press is coming our way dispensing style wisdom! or is that stylish wisdom? the wisdom of style? Either way, it's not to be missed. And once again, it's a date with the Potts Point Bookshop [I know, I know, they spoil us crazy].

Luisa Brimble

Clare Press in one of Australia's most accomplished, and dare I say stylish, fashion peeps... She was features editor at Vogue Australia for five years and has written for magazines like Harper's Bazaar and In Style as well as The Australian newspaper. Most recently, she wrote a story in the Sunday Mag that moved me to tears [and I wasn't crying about the fashion either] find it here

Clare founded her own label a few years ago, starting out small and building up slowly, and it's a definite favourite with the stylish chicks around Sydney... every time I read about the Mrs Press label the same words pop up - Glamour. Flair. Style. Panache. Elegant. Individual. Vintage. oh yes Mrs Press does love a vintage frock.....

And now, the multi-talented Mrs Press has written a BOOK so we can all share in some of that style wisdom that she has been hoarding away....... luckily, just in time for Party Season.

In the book she has  "...collected advice on how to live well from women who know.....icons like Diana Vreeland, Wallis Simpson and Elsie de Wolfe as well as her favourite local style-setters and chicest friends.....
......whether you want tips on how to shop, how to host (and dress for) an indulgent afternoon tea, how to choose the perfect gift or how to live lavishly on a limited budget, you will find them here, along with timeless words of wisdom on subjects such as why manners matter and the joys of fine lingerie..."

Something for everyone there........ and me? well I am SO for living lavishly on an limited budget!

And on Wednesday 16th November you can swish along to an elegant soiree at the Potts Point Bookshop to meet Mrs Press, have a glass of bubbles and a chat with her and the equally stylish and knowledgable Ms Glynis Traill-Nash one of Australia's most highly regarded fashion writers and commentators [another local resident with a story or two to tell!]

Don't you think you should come along on Wednesday at 6.30pm for a book signing a chat and a lively Q+A? yep. agreed. I suggest you bring your daughter, sister, mum or best buddy along as well........

and if you're not following Potts Point Bookshop or Mrs Press... you are seriously missing out.
