I waited in line for three hours, clutching my copy of his book and cursing myself because I stuffed so much heavy junk into my handbag that it made my shoulder ache. I made two buddies in line, Lanny and Lauren. We were all so nervous that when our turn came, we decided to get our books signed together.  It’s not every day you get to meet someone as exciting as Scott Schuman, and sometimes you need moral support. When he signed my book, he told me that his first girlfriend’s name was Grace. It made me even more tongue tied than I already was, but my heart went thumpa thumpa with glee.

The three hour wait was extra specially boring, so I entertained myself by taking photos of the shop windows.

After queuing down the sidewalk for two hours, we finally got inside the store. And then we waited some more.

The sass & bide store is quite a clever space, what with the smashed mirrors on the ceiling:

and the giant (actually just horse-sized) leather horse at the back:

Then, sitting at a table behind the horse, there he was:

and here we are, looking goofy and star struck:

It boggles the mind.

Petite Boutique is holding another of their monthly sales in Paddington this weekend. They always have loads of lovely tops, dresses, skirts and scarves from the likes of Chanel, Marc Jacobs and Chloe, and nothing ever costs more than $300. Exciting huh?

I never seem to be able to leave these sales empty handed (it’s very easy to trick me into buying a piece of clothing if you make it a pretty colour) . So far my loot from previous sales has included an insane patterned silk dress from See by Chloe, a tangerine ruffly dress from Marc by Marc Jacobs and a Jill Stuart sun dress in pale gold and watercolour style florals which I plan to live in this summer.

Call or email Rebecca (details below) to find out the top secret sale headquarters.
