Bedtime stories… Slick and cozy chocolate, also comes in black, of course 🤎🖤 What a way to bring back 90s inner-outer wear than a full slip dress. If you’re wondering, tue fabric is thick - not like the common slips we tie-dyed and wore over pants (including jeans 😆 we were so grunge). This is a Cooper designed sophisticated, luxurious, and sensual dress for wearing over warmer pieces or under jackets in winter, or in its own when the weather heats up. Xx

Someone told me my picture made it to the Wynnum Manly Yacht Club website for their annual Nautical Art Awards 🥰 OCEAN & ART - two of my favourite things together 💙💙 Well I have to thank Belle Folie for gifting me my hat - thank you, Wendy! And Curate By Trelise Cooper for the crepe dress, and Megan Salmon for the French mariner striped coat in silk-cotton 🤍

Good morning, lovers of Saturday! ☀️ I just realised that when I shared the patchwork print dress, I forgot to share the pant as well. This pant has been a bestseller! And there’s also only one left, and it’s also an L (size 14h). 🧡🩵❤️💛🖤 what a great ensemble this would make! Worn with a white t shirt and sneakers, or dressed up with a sparkly black top… 😍

🧡🤍🩷💛🩵❤️ This gorgeous patchwork print dress from Curate Trelise Cooper! 😍 I’m afraid there’s only one left - an L, which is size 14 in Trelise Cooper land - from the home of the best in New Zealand design. This print is so *awake* with colour and movement. The square sections appear Japanese, yet with country vibes. With buttons all the way down the centre front, you can transform this sophisticated dress into a lightweight duster coat - wonderful for dressing up an every day ensemble. NOW ON SALE ONLY $279.00 🫶 Let it take you to that wedding, that special event, those drinks, that lunch, ceremony…

♥️ Who’s going to the Medieval Fayre this weekend? Abbey Medieval Festival I haven’t been for many years (because you have to be fast to get a ticket!) 🌱 Dresses made from natural fibres, flax/ linen were the norm with minimal prints - plain, solid colours and trims. These COOP dresses are 100% cotton and can be worn either as a dress or a coat with all the buttons open. They can be belted or won like a tunic over longer dresses. I’ll see you there! Xx Cate 👑
