Classic cult movies, like books, are the ones everyone knows, but haven't necessarily seen before. Then when you stumble upon one on Fox Classics or in a friend's DVD collection one rainy Sunday after fifteen too many beers and some ill-advised tequila shots the night before, the penny drops.

If you can picture the style of a crazy old madam or a wealthy eccentric society lady with awesome dress sense, you'd be close to imagining the unbridled whimsical glamour of Brooke Benson.

We Aussies have a bizarre love-hate relationship with New Zealand. We laugh at the locals for the way they say "six" and poke fun at their affection for sheep, yet we're happy to claim their musicians, ski their slopes and wear their fashion. And OH what impressive fashion it is.

Every year when the temperature rises enough to make us wish every day was a weekend, the inevitable dilemma of what to wear beachside hits. Maybe it's just us, but we always feel a little hypocritical going to a surf shop for a swimsuit when we neither surf, dive, nor ski.
