It's always nice when you meet a designer whose clothes you admire and love. Today I was in the right place at the right time.

I popped into Myer ever so quickly because my urge to see whether new stock was starting to filter in overcome me and I wandered over to Charlie Brown to see what delicious new materials were being ruffled and bunched only to my delight to see Charlie herself.

I was fortunate that one of my favourite sales assistants was on and introduced me to her. She’s just fantastic. Vivacious, inspiring and passionate. I was talking to her about how I loved how the range has diversified and their use of more ruffles and frills has been just fantastic - I am very much a ruffles and frill type woman, they're so fun! She said she has got a great team behind her (which I thought was just lovely) and clearly she does. I had a sneak peak at some of the new winter stock that the girls were unpacking and whilst we are not quite ready for the long sleeves yet, get in quick there are limited sizes and between you and me, it's good, really good! Some of her best pieces yet.

Summer stock is also reduced to clear, so if you had your eye on anything but couldn't find room in the budget it's worth checking out whether they have what you want in your size.

It's exciting, the new seasons stock is starting to trickle in - everywhere I looked I could see injections of new things, breathe Michelle, just breathe!

Happy shopping days ahead x
