All Miss Moss Wants for Xmas…

Posted in Miscellaneous Moss - Written by Siobhan O'Brien on December 11, 2009 - 0 Comments

I’ve just ordered myself a Chrissy prezzie that I couldn’t resist! It’s something I’ve been hankering after for a while. It’s a book, titled:
Dior by Dior: The Autobiography of Christian Dior, published by Victoria & Albert Museum Publications. I can’t wait to get my teeth into the world of golden age haute couture and find out about the man behind all that splendour, theatre and creativity! I do have one question though. Why is the dust jacket so bleedin’ boring? This man needs colour, sequins, fireworks – at the very least. Tsk. Tsk. I will keep you posted.

I’ve always found Lego to be inspirational. All that colour! All those possibilities! Seems the creative, curious minds at JC de Castelbajac agree. Aren’t these hats and fashion accessories AMAZING?! Look at this gorgeous Lego Fashion Parade and be inspired, darling.

Miss Moss Musings

Posted in Miscellaneous Moss - Written by Siobhan O'Brien on November 26, 2009 - 4 Comments

Life is a funny thing. Things are never really quite as they seem. The older I get, the wiser I become in some departments, while in others I clearly do not. One particular area that I fail to learn life’s lesson is counting my chickens before they’re hatched. Take, for example the recent shenanigans while looking for an office for the new Miss Moss HQ. At first, things are looking GREAT: glam spot, all go-go, decent rent..blah..blah…I, true to form – being an eternal optimist – believe the deal is IN THE BAG. I dream of where my desk can go, how to arrange the shelving, how the sun will stream in through the window around 9am. The new MM HQ is all sunshine and light in my mind. Then – BAM – I’m screwed (for reasons I won’t divulge), the dreams’ gone, dead kaput. Grrrr. So, I start to look again. And the same thing happens. Suddenly I wake up. I’ve learned the lesson: today is a new day. Karma will be suitable dished out. But – this time there are no chickens in my basket.

Miss Moss Rockin’ Ruby Bracelet

Posted in Miss Moss Shop - Written by Siobhan O'Brien on November 25, 2009 - 0 Comments

Aren’t these bracelets fabulous? They’re part of the Miss Moss Rockin’ Ruby range of resin bracelets which come in pink/mauve; olive/black; red/brownn (pictured); and cream/gold. This particular style of resin is not easy to achieve with a 25% lose rate when in production. The colours in the resin are due to paint and coloured pigments which swirl around before the resin soldifies and creates its own unique combination of the colours used for each bracelet which makes every single one completely individual. We love that!

New office for Miss Moss Fashion?

Posted in Miscellaneous Moss - Written by Siobhan O'Brien on November 21, 2009 - 0 Comments

All that is old is new again. Miss Moss Fashion is currently in the throes of negotiating a new studio/office space after being turfed out of our much loved old space (boo..hoo..commerce, gentlemen). But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Down the Milton highway/street, there’s a darling little cottage that I’ve got my eye on. Charming, heritage listed, quaint, whimsical romantic, even. All the things which make THIS heart sing. Fingers/legs crossed that that this cottage becomes the new home for Miss Moss Fashion Australia. I will keep you posted.

Miss Moss Wishes for Wish

Posted in Miscellaneous Moss - Written by Siobhan O'Brien on November 17, 2009 - 0 Comments

I’ve always been a big fan of WISH clothing. It happened quite by accident. I found that every time I selected an item of clothing, from numerous, random stores, the item – on many occasions – turned out to be designed by Aussie label WISH. This little cutsie number is really gorgeous. Nothing like a bit of tribal inspired bling. Think I might need to jump online now and part with some hard earned, but eaily spent bucks. Ciao!

On the Road Again

Posted in Miscellaneous Moss - Written by Siobhan O'Brien on November 12, 2009 - 0 Comments

Just back from an extended road trip and I am pooped! Yesterday/today I visited Batemans Bay, Narooma, Tilba (what bliss!), Bermagui, Merimbula and Pambula. This part of the world – east coast of NSW, Australia – is simly divine. Heritage homes, old stone churches, rolling hills and lots of smiling faces. Tilba is a real highlight. I can imagine settling in there for a good week with my family, soaking up the relaxed vibes and rambling down the hill to nearby Bermagui for a paddle in Walliga Lake to cool off. Bliss! Earlier in the week it was Sydney, Berry and Huskisson for Miss Moss. Things are looking positive. I’ve received great feedback on my new bags and heaps of ideas for the next collection. I’m thinking skirts with plenty of ruffles; loose printed (and possible beaded) caftans; leather belts which tie rather than buckle; and possibly some new bags in fringed leather. In the meantime, I have to find a new office as I’ve been turfed out. I have faith in the powers that be to provide something fab-delicious! Crossin’ these fingers.
