Is that snow I see...no...it's just a mirage.

I was seriously struggling to get into winter mode, what with the sweltering heat in the Sydney this week. But I can't ignore it any longer as there are birdmotel winter shoots to complete and stock about to arrive at any moment.

But after spending a solid day yesterday compiling mood boards for the shopalog, and then piecing together outfit ideas from the many clothing and accessory items that we have ordered, I am getting quite excited! There is a lot to like, and a few new designers too, which is great.

I also trawled international online boutiques last night and fell in love with quite a lot. Below is just a small selection of things I want and am inspired by. May have to get a friend to go into Urban Outfitters for me though - hello JM and Bill - as they still don't ship to Australia. What's with that!
