We’re feeling a little inspired by the prospect of spring and all that comes with it – longer days, colourful frocks, not having to wear tights everyday… and with a new season also comes swapping!!!

We hope you’re ready to reinvigorate your wardrobes, stash away the Mastercard (we hear an ice-bucket in the freezer usually does the trick) and Swap ‘Til You Drop?? The Swap Team is super excited for our next event on October 28 at Tattersall’s Hotel (The Rooftop Bar) for another glamorous night of swapping revelry.

For first timers – all you need to do is bring up to 5 pieces (clothes/shoes/handbags) that you wish to swap. Items should be classic pieces or right on trend, and must be in great condition. See ‘The Swapping Rules’ section on the ‘About’ page of this website for more details on what you can bring along..

With the spring/summer racing season almost within our sights, we’re also adding race wear to the mix. How many of you have ever worn the same thing twice to the Cup? Nope, we haven’t either! As well as usually setting you back a fair amount of $$$, they’re annoying to store and you never wear them again! The best thing to do with your race wear is to swap it! In fact, you can find your whole outfit at one of our swap nights… Think hats, fascinators, hatinators… These items are in addition to your other pieces, and you can bring up to 2 race wear items each (but remember each piece must be valued at over $50).

Tickets on sale soon.

Happy Spring Cleaning

There are lots of people to thank, who all made the night possible…

Firstly, I’d love to say a big thank you to our generous sponsors; Helena from Funky Homes, Phoenix from Shibuya Beauty Therapy, Sheridan from Wilson & Turner Travel Associates and Annie G, our stylish Image Consultant. Thanks for giving away all your goodies, and generally vamping up the night with all your stylish accessories, advice and pampering goodness!

Thank you to my Swap Girls, Amber and Phoenix! You girls were ruthless on the door, thanks for keeping the quality high! I couldn’t have done it without you. Also thank you to Coralie for making all the delicious, yummy sweets and treats that looked so colourful and beautiful! Thanks to Trent for making us feel less hungry with the sexy and fun Victoria’s Secret girls strutting their gorgeous stuff on our screens.

Thanks to Rob and the team for having us at your wonderful venue again!

Keep an eye on the Mercury tomorrow (25th May) for snaps of the night in the social pages, as well as a special write up in “Linda’s Day” – thanks for coming girls!

And finally, thank you to all of you who made generous donations to the jar on the “Cheap & Chic” table. All money raised and left-over clothes have gone to the good people at the Red Cross.

Photos of the night will be on Facebook soon! I’d love to hear what you thought of the event, and any suggestions on how to improve it for next time!

I look forward to seeing you again later in the year for our Summer Swap.

Be quick though we only have a limited number of spots available!
