Shopping
is my crutch, which is why I'm taking this crunch business
quite personally. Westfield's consumerist cathedral
is opening tomorrow to tempt me from credit card chastity,
and I'm not sure I can be trusted around 265 shopping
options and the fiscal repercussions of my fashion fornication.
|
|
Problem
is, I need a fix, and I'm starting to go klepto on the
office, sliding staplers into my purse and neon postits
under my bra. My boyfriend is no longer buying the 'carnival
lingerie' story. So I'm going somewhere smaller. Where
my rehab buddy can't find me.
My
Sugarland opens on Saturday under the expert guidance
of stylist and owner Zoe Lem, and beyond stocking hard
to find labels (PPQ, Steve J & Yoni P, Belle Sauvage),
hot graduates (Rebecca Reeves, Lindsey Connerton) and
serious accessories (Cutler & Gross, Angel Jackson,
Mawi), it also acts as art gallery and party space.

With
interiors overseen by set designer Tony Hornecker,
who's created shoots for i-D, Wallpaper and SHOWstudio
and the first exhibition by jewellery designer
Shilpa Chavan, it's just the kind of place you
need to go for a quick high.
Judge me if you will. And no that's not a purchase
in my pants. I'm just so happy to see you.
