Fashion has a way of evoking a certain style, time or place, which is why destination fashion is so fun.

For March we are inspired by Melbourne, and Anya’s created a capsule wardrobe – perfectly suitcase friendly for sho

pping up a storm on a weekend away or bringing a slice of the fashion capital home with you.

Melbourne is the breeding ground of Australian fashion with its upcoming designers and litany of little boutiques and vintage stores. Not jetting off to Aus? We show you how to recreate the look at home.
Friday Night Dinner
A luxe statement dress does all the work, especially in a dramatic colour like this. A chunky heel gives height, but stability and shiny touches pull the look together. What’s more Melbourne than a mish mash of trends? A vintage inspired Jacket, a modern new shoe, a boho dress and a Flapper handbag blend together for a slice of Melb’s style.
1: Daydream Dress $249.99 from Moochi
2: Button Detail Jacket AU$299.00 from Witchery
3: Flapper Night Bag AU$229.00 from Mimco
4: Laura Mercier Evolution of Colour For Lips $75 from Laura Mercier stockists
5: Charlie’s Bar Hardware Lane Melbourne
6: Tony Bianco $169.99 from Royal T
Saturday Shopping
With layered pieces and flashes of leather, the boots take the hard work out of this outfit. Channel a little bit of an outback, equestrian feel and then give it a bit of polish with the Moochi dress now worn tunic style. This is just the outfit to hunt out some great style bargains with the girls, just don’t forget a nice strong bag to carry your loot in.
1: Miss Sofie Lindsay $379.00 from Royal T
2: Mini body Bag $40.00 from Dotti
3: K Low Rise Skinny $89.95 from Just Jeans
4: Daydream Dress $249.99 from Moochi
5: Wrap Marl Knit AU$169.95 from Witchery
6: Retrostar Vintage, Swanson Street Melbourne
7: Tan Belt $49.90 from Wild Pair
Sunday Café Visit
High heels and a tailored jacket make you look pulled together even if you are shattered from a night out with the girls. An unexpected tee mixed with your button down jacket is a little slice of Fitzroy cool, perfect for chatting over the escapades of the night before at Mario’s on Brunswick Ave.
1: Mink Pink Shirt $35.00 from Wild pair
2: Button Detail Jacket AU$299.00 from Witchery
3: K Low Rise Skinny $89.95 from Just Jeans
