Passionate Shopper

Where do you start if you want to find the chicest cashmere sweater, the swankiest new-season shoe, the most frivolous handbag, the sweetest equisite nursery items, the classic little black dress? Here in this ultimate shopping bible of course.

First published in 2006, The Passionate Shopper has been fully updated to keep pace with the ever-changing world of retail, and expanded to include a new chapter on maternity and baby wear.

Calling on her own extensive experience, and tapping into expert advice and trade secrets from nineteen of Australia's leading authorities on fashion, design, styling and travel (think Akira Isogawa, Megan Morton, Lucinda Pitt and Karin Upton Baker), Marion von Adlerstein shares with us an entirely personal and highly selective real and virtual tour of the key shopping destinations at home and around the globe.

Witty, insightful, and forensically thorough, The Passionate Shopper is destined to put a smile on your dace - and a dent in your bank account.
