Little Old Adelaide has enjoyed the influx of a few very popular stores in the last couple of months. Along with Lisa Ho and Saba sisters Nicky & Simone Zimmermann have opened their hip store on Adelaide's hottest shopping strip, Rundle St. Zimmermann has long been a favourite of mine. Over the years I've scrimped and saved to purchase some their most gorgeous dresses and to this day I still love wearing them. I popped into the new store yesterday and it's gorgeous. A big space, with racks of neatly lined pieces all in their colour groups. Along with amazing dresses there are swimsuits, lingerie and the cutest kids pieces. Perfection! Visit the store at 265 Rundle St, Adelaide or visit www.zimmermannwear.com to shop up an online storm!

Last week Annabelle and I made the trip to Sydney for the official launch of the simply gorgeous Sugarlove studio in Woollahra. Leigh and Bradley were the perfect hosts, providing simply delicious food from Katering and champagne trom Tattinger. They have done quite simply a marvelous job of their new studio. Of course pictures of Sugarlove weddings adorn the walls giving it a warm and homely feel, something you notice as soon as you enter the studio. Every bit of detail has been carefully crafted by Leigh, making it the perfect place to sit down and discuss your wedding day photography. Here's a peek at the studio and some of the guests who attended. To learn more about Sugarlove's fabulous work visit www.sugarloveweddings.com or www.sugarlovepictures.com.


We love that Leigh has kept the amber crystal door handle on the main door, one of the buildings original features
