A POC on Your House

I have wanted a piece by local Melbourne label POC since I first saw the designers individual RMIT graduate collections back in 2012 so I was really happy to score this dress from their first POC collection on the weekend at the fundraising garage sale I mentioned in my last post. The garage sale was raising much needed money for 19 year old Isabelle 'Baby Riss' Ruiz who has been diagnosed with the rare, life threatening blood disease aHUS, the medicine for which is not subsidised by the government making it grossly expensive and out of reach. Her medicine costs $600 000 per year! You can help by donating directly over at her Fundly campaign and like their facebook page to keep up to date on their campaign and Baby's health. In terms of the dress I am so happy to have been able to have my money go to a good cause AND get a dress I love and have wanted forever! I love how the local fashion community got together to donate their wears for the cause - it makes me want to support the designers who donated even more.

Faux fur accessories are everywhere in Tokyo right now, I picked this up for about $10 and have been wearing it everywhere ever since.

Fringing and fraying denim - it kind of matches our wall hangings don't you think?
