Just open

High Street, Armadale, is getting a Dion Lee injection today, with the opening of a new boutique. The man himself was in town earlier this week to inspect his new digs and told TSW: "[This] will be the brand's sixth store in Australia, our second in Melbourne. The area has become a key destination for fashion in Melbourne and we are really looking forward to introducing the brand there. It will be the largest of all our stores, maintaining an industrial aesthetic, with luxury finishes and the warmth of natural light." Couldn't have put it better myself.

#inthecart: logo sweats

To me, winter nights mean central heating, a curry and a logo sweatshirt/sheepskin slippers combo. I used to despise logo hoodies – think loud '90s styles – but the clever cookies at GOOD CMPNY are doing ones you'll want to steal from (or share with) your boyfriend. Expect some bold styles from the forthcoming Kenzo x H&M collaboration.
