Oh yesss: Alannah Hill at DFO... LOVE IT

It's the best news I've had all year ;-), a few short weeks ago Canberran fashionistas were given a Christmas present to behold, yes Australia's very own girly glam fashion designer Alannah Hill has opened an outlet store at DFO!

Alannah is one of my fashion heros, check out her story and beautiful work at her terribly adorable (but flash heavy) website here... *sigh*

At the DFO outlet you can expect rack and racks of markdowns on her cute detailed cardis, skirts, dresses - glam and sassy business looks, accessories too gorgeous to leave behind... and girls don't be shy, I'm told that if the outlet is a success, we could just get our very own Alannah Hill boutique. I think Canberra ladies are savvy enough to go for it!!!
I'm so in love, I'm going to be poor after my next visit!!!
Love love love it!

and happy weekend, Love Nina x

DFO: Sneak a peek

*** UPDATE: DFO will be hosting a VIP preview on September 11th and will open to the public the following day ***

I received a sneaky email which leaked the exciting line-up of retail therapists coming soon to DFO (Direct Factory Outlet) in Fyshwick, due to open mid August. Can Canberra handle two outlet shopping towns? Will this lead to the demise of Brand Depot? Don't ask me, but maybe I can get you as keen as I am to check it out...
