Hermès Launches Australian Online Boutique!

Yay! Hermès has finally opened its online boutique doors to Australian shoppers. No more lusting after the goods that seem so readily available in other countries only to find they do not ship internationally.

Hermès launched the Australian online boutique some time last week I believe. Upon hearing this news I went straight to the twilly section, but there wasn't really anything new that I hadn't seen before.. they didn't even have the lemon lime / splice coloured "coach" twilly that I spotted on one of the overseas stores but have never seen on Australian stores.

Having said that, there are still a couple of nice ones on there - like this gorgeous blue colourway..



I however, am going to wait and see what the next season of twillys brings! Will be great to just be able to go online and check the new range and order what looks good instead of making a special trip to the store.

My New Twilly - Some Pics

So as my first exciting purchase since I have had this blog up and running I really want to share some photos of my gorgeous new twilly!

Please be warned that my photographic skills are limited and the lighting in my bedroom leaves a lot to be desired, but hopefully they will still convey to you the loveliness of this teeny piece of silk. Either way I am delighted with my purchase so want to show it off a little :P


Gracefully packaged in a signature Hermes orange box, with a dark brown printed ribbon. The little box is so cute and makes the perfect storage compartment for the twilly.


As I open the box I get my first touch of the twilly, it is unbelievably soft and silky. Whoever thought a little piece of silk could be so lovely!


Ok so it's very hard to take photos of one's chest - but here is the twilly tied around my neck. I thought it would be quite difficult to knot around in a certain way to make it look good, but simple over and under is quite effective...

And below you can see the twilly tied around the handle of my bag, which is a great way instantly update a boring bag!

The twilly is so versatile, I will also be experimenting with wearing it around my head as a headband or headscarf, around my wrist as a bracelet, or even around a ponytail.

How do you like to wear your twilly? How many do you own? Is one enough or would you buy one each season of different colours so you have different ones to match different outfits and moods? I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences so please leave a comment :)

A Proud Day

After the recent sadness of being made redundant at my old job, I was thrilled to land an awesome new position in the Sydney CBD. I have been working there for a couple of weeks now and absolutely loving it! The only thing is that I am scarily close to the wide array of shops this end of town has to offer and only the amount of work I have had on has stopped me from wandering up the street to the QVB for a lunch time shop.

That all changed today however! It was such a dreary morning and so freezing cold, I was at work a little bit early and browsing the Hermès website as I often do, looking at the lovely silk scarves, especially the twillys, which are the skinny, ribbon-like scarves - which are also the least expensive :)

The boss is away sick today, so after a very quiet morning, I decided to go up to Hermès and check out the offerings in person so as to see all the beautiful stuff in person! (I swear I was just there to browse...)

The Hermès store is such a nice experience, I don't often venture into "high-end" stores other than Tiffany, and it is just so nice to have the door opened for you and pretty much have the entire store to yourself! After browsing the store and asking about some prices, ogling the gorgeous cuffs and bracelets (will have to wait for another time when my purse is more well-endowed..)

I enquired about the price of the twillys ($200 AUD) and the lovely sales lady got some out to show me. I was instantly in love and knew I not be leaving the store without one. They had in stock the one I had been eyeing off on the website so I knew it was meant to be :)

So without further ado I unveil to you my very first Hermès Twilly!



I think it is gorgeous and sophisticated! I'm very excited to finally own one and bought it for myself as a congratulatory present for getting this great new job. I was tempted to go for some of the other brighter designs, but thought this one would be a great place to start as it is really versatile and can be worn with any colour.

Photos of the real thing coming very soon!
