Happy Thanksgiving!

I am currently at home in Jackson preparing for the shop opening! So much to do, but it's all so much fun. I have some truly stunning pieces for the shop. Tomorrow I am planning on hanging all the art and photography. Jackson is so beautiful and sunny, totally different from freezing New York! Below is a photo of me on the way to Thanksgiving lunch.

Audrey Grace NYC Photo shoot

On Friday, I had a really exciting and fun photo shoot with Serena, the photo assistant at Teen Vogue, who I just interviewed for the blog. We shot all around my apartment and my building. The photos turned out great, and I am so excited to share them with you! All of the clothing and jewelry is available at Audrey Grace! The shoes and sunglasses are from my own collection.

Three new exciting designers that will be stocked in Audrey Grace! Are you a fan of these lovely labels? I am so excited to introduce Lady Petrova, Sretsis and Orla Kiely to the shop. We will have limited editions of each collection. These are photos from the most recent collections, they aren't exactly what will be in store, but you get an idea of each line. I actually bought the lovely pink dress below from Lady Petrova today! These lines are perfect for a modern day Audrey or Grace!

Lady Petrova- Melbourne, Australia

Sretsis- Bangkok, Thailand

Orla Kiely- London, England

Australian Inspiration and Shop Updates!

Some things that make me happy about my time in Australia.... Inspired by films and theatre I have seen, places I have been, among other things....

From top: Incu, a pretty cool boutique in Sydney, cupcakes from Sparkle (Surry Hills, Sydney), a look from Melbourne based Lady Petrova's "Peace Hotel" collection (I am stocking her line in Audrey Grace), a look from Lover's "A Dance for One Collection," an Aussie label that is truly beautiful, still from Peter Weir's Picnic At Hanging Rock (I wrote a paper on this film for my course here), Cate Blanchett as Lucinda in Gillian Armstrong's Oscar and Lucinda, Emily Browning and Rachael Blake in Sleeping Beauty (saw it at the film festival and not crazy about the film.. but beautiful cinematography), promotional image for The Seagull at Belvoir Street Theatre (seeing this Wednesday), Judy Davis in My Brilliant Career, Miranda Otto and cast in The White Guard at Sydney Theatre Company (it was great, and also met Miranda- saw it last week), Frankie magazine- the best- don't know what I am going to do without it!, a koala- I got to cuddle one the other day, macaroons from La Belle Miette, Melbourne.

The shop is coming along so well. I have been so busy here yet still steadily working on it. I am working with so many Aussies! Have some exciting shoots coming up soon.. working with the lovely Jeannine Tan on a "Picnic at Hanging Rock/Virgin Suicides" shoot to be displayed in store as well as another with Ella Ruth Cowperthwaite inspired by Audrey and Grace. I am so excited about these shoots!

Also, I believe Audrey Grace will be stocking a few select pieces by the beautiful label Sretsis (above). I'm also working with the lovely Alyssa Nicole and will be stocking her adorable line named, Alyssa Nicole.
