How To Create Your Own Style
Do you dread getting dressed each day? Is it too hard to find things you like when you go shopping? Maybe it’s time to really nail down your style and make dressing EASY. Here are some tips from Wikipedia (and us!)
Go through your winter wardrobe and pull out anything you don’t LOVE. If it’s too good to donate, give it a clean and bring it to MUFF for resale.
Make a list of the clothes you need. (If you had 10 pairs of pants and threw out 8 of them, you might want a few new pairs.)
Look through fashion magazines and at pictures of clothing styles past and present on the net. Is there a look that jumps out at you? Do you like wide or skinny pants? High or low waists? What era suits your body shape best? E.g. curvy 50s, skinny 60s. Make notes and cut/print pictures.
Do you resemble a famous movie star or singer? You could imitate what she wears. Fashion brains bigger than ours spend many hours working out how to present famous people in their best light…and you can benefit from it!
Be realistic. Obviously, if you choose to dress like Jessica Simpson, you'll probably want to change the look so it's cheaper and more appropriate for your body and lifestyle. Although Jessica pulls off Daisy Duke shorts, you might not want to be seen in them in public!. Modify the look it until you love it - and can wear it in decent society!
Look for unique items. Ask yourself, "What is something I like that no one else wears?" You’re looking to create your own single jewelled glove/man style tuxedo moment.
Enhance your total look with accessories. Hats can make you stand out.
Spend time trying to make outfits out of your new clothes. Mix and match - even if you didn't think your new jumper would look good with you’re a-line skirt, try it out.
Take some lessons on how to wear make up, or ask your makeup-savvy friend for some tips. Ask for recommendations… makeup is being updated constantly and you could be missing out on a great new product.
Choose a unique hair style. Make a statement with your hair. A unique hairstyle can make you famous! Look at Karen O, Blondie, Amy Winehouse. Discover the best style for your hair that suits the shape of your face and a colour that works with your skin tone.
Looks like Amy Winehouse likes Maria Callas's style!
How Much Time Should You Take?
Do you ever worry that spending time on your appearance makes you shallow? (You went to a Catholic school, didn’t you?!) Let Lucia de Vernai http://www.northstarwriting.com/ explain why dressing well is not a crime…
"Paying attention to how you look is not a reflection of superficiality or detachment from others. It is a form of self-expression.
To present yourself well to the world is to declare to others that their presence is important. Instead of dress to impress, think dress to honor. After all, manner of dress is a form of cultural aesthetic and cultural communication. The skills of matching fabric quality, balancing separates and framing the body in the best way possible is an art.
Sadly, materialist culture has stripped it of its mystery and replaced it with carelessness. Fashion as passion is now associated with spoiled teenage girls in a mall, not appreciation of the human body and attention to detail. Maybe that is why I feel like I have to defend my approach or feel ashamed to admit that I read more of In-Style than of The Economist, that I know nothing about Dylan and pretty much everything about Balenciaga.
Looking at the dressy, casual apparel of Argentines and the delicate balance they strike between formal wear and comfort, I came to understand that the commitment to dressing well is nothing to be ashamed of. What I have learned from them is that come hell or high water, military dictatorship or economic crisis, maintaining appearances is not shallow, but a way of retaining stability and social norms. Sound bourgie? Perhaps. But come the revolution, we’ll be dressed to kill."

Did you know we have our own, homegrown Trinny/Susannah rolled into one? Melbourne woman Annebelle van Tongeren has written an interesting book on what to wear called "Dress Like a Star."
Annebelle studied Fashion Design at RMIT in Melbourne before embarking on a career spanning 20 years costuming and styling for TV programmes ranging from The Comedy Company to Ten News to the Logies to the Arias. Her work has been published in many magazines and newspapers.
MUFF got hold of a copy of the book recently and found it worthwhile; Annebelle has a good understanding of body shapes. Since reading her book, I have decided to stop wearing pants!

Defeat your body's worst enemy
'Urggh - you're such an ugly fat cow'! 'Yuck, put those flabby arms away'! 'Look at those thighs!' Can you imagine saying things like that to your best friend? If you did, chances are the friendship wouldn't last too long! So why then, do we say such terrible things to ourselves?
The phrase… "own worst enemy" comes into play here. In my role as Personal Stylist I hear all about the hang-ups we women have: the arms that never see the light of day because they are not perfect, the wardrobe full of long tops and jackets that hide the apparently huge bum, even the uniform of gathered tops all purchased to cover the tummy.
Poor body image is something that is often associated with teenagers with eating disorders - adult women are supposedly "over it." Not true it would seem - most of my clients are accomplished, intelligent women and yet they don't like what they see in the mirror.
I guess the constant bombardment of the perfect bodies of celebrities in magazines provides a benchmark that real women can't live up to. Consider the life of a celebrity: Katie Holmes is apparently pregnant because the poor girl had a lunch and forgot to hold her tummy in when she was photographed recently!
For what it's worth: I've worked with literally thousands of women and I could count those with the"perfect" body on less than five fingers - we all have things we don't like.
So, I'd like to start a revolution! Let's celebrate what our bodies do for us rather than worry about the bits we hate. For every woman out there who laments the loss of her trim waist or pert bust due to having babies consider those who can't have children but would love them.
Complaining about your dimply thighs or short legs? Think about the women for whom life is spent in a wheelchair. Every day take time to be GRATEFUL for what you have, and what your body represents.
Focus instead on your best features and show those off. If you're under 80 and you are in despair about your upper arms, get them out there on display: it's natural for a woman to have arms like that.
Imagine being 80 and saying, "Gee, I wish I'd known what I had when I was 40 - the same way we do now about when we were 18!
If you really do loathe your wobbly bits get busy: get out there walking, do tricep dips in front of the telly - just stop beating yourself up!
And for the things you can't change - don't waste any more time hating them.
To make the most of what you've got, get learning. Work out which styles of clothing are most flattering to your shape - learn what balances your figure and work with your own proportions. Find a hairdresser that understands your colouring and cuts your hair to suit your face, not the latest style.
Knowing yourself is key; loving yourself might take a little longer.

A bloke crashes into the back of a dwarf’s Porsche. There seems to be lots of damage. The dwarf gets out, has a look and says, "I'm not happy".
The bloke replies, "well, which one are ya then?"
Sheila walked into the kitchen to find Bruce stalking around with a fly swatter."What are you doing?" She asked. "Hunting Flies" He responded. "Oh. Killing any?" She asked. "Yep, 3 males, 2 Females," he replied. Intrigued, she asked. "How can you tell them apart?" He responded, "3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone."

We're in!!!
Hi
Well, we're in... MUFF has now relocated to Shop 5, Campbell Arcade, Degraves St subway.
We love it. Sooo much nicer than the old shop and also a teeny bit bigger, which means we can give you more sexy options.
We've had some quite funny responses to the new shop, but the best ones are from those who notice that the shop looks a little different, but don't actually realise we've relocated! hahaha

Good news!
Hi
MUFF Degraves is MOVING... about two shops up, closer to the Degraves St end of the subway. Why? The shop is nicer and in better condition, plus a teeny bit larger. Tim from Wax Museum next door is taking our old shop. So while you're stuffing your face with chokky eggs and getting legless on Passion Pop this Easter, spare a thought for your pal Al who will be building a better MUFF! I will of course be on hand to direct him. (See pic)
Hope to open new shop next week but not sure... I've gotta head back to NZ for a week to see my old man. Al's going to be so lonely. Don't get any ideas, girls, hands off hahaha.
One last piece of good news... there's a whole lot of small size (8-10) quality pieces from designers like Theory, Scanlan, Gorman, Eley Mishimoto, Fred Perry plus some excellent vintage just arrived at MUFF Queen Vic market. It's all in great condition and a fraction of new.

Recyclers fear collapse of industry
Adam Morton
March 24, 2009
A LEADING industrial waste recycler has told Premier John Brumby it faces closure, with the possible loss of 60 jobs, unless the Government stops recyclable rubbish going to landfill.
The warning from the West Melbourne-based National Recycling Group comes as industry figures say recycling faces a crisis, with several businesses under threat following the collapse in commodity prices late last year.
In a letter dated March 3, the National Recycling Group urged Mr Brumby to do more to encourage recycling, saying it would create jobs.
It cited United States EPA estimates that one new job created by dumping waste in landfill expands to six new jobs if the material is recycled.
National Recycling Group chairman Roy Woodhouse told The Age the industrial landfill levy needed to be raised to discourage dumping of waste, contrasting Victoria's charge of $15 a tonne with the NSW's $47.50.
"The ongoing viability of recycling is not sustainable under the current low levy and lack of regulation to ensure recycling is genuine," he said. "Not enough is done to distinguish between genuine recyclers and pretend recyclers."
Recyclers of household plastics, paper and scrap metals warned that they were being forced to stockpile after demand for recycled material plummeted by 50 per cent to 80 per cent last October.
Many said a broader response than simply toughening the landfill levy was needed, calling on governments to do more to encourage the use of recycled goods.
Peter Murphy, the general manager of Alex Fraser Recycling Industries, said some councils refused to buy recycled material for footpaths and other infrastructure.
"One of our biggest barriers in growing the business is that some local governments still prefer to use virgin quarry material instead of a crushed rock," Mr Murphy said.
"Recycling material should be treated at least equally, and there is no reason they should not be preferred if you want to encourage recycling. At the moment it is treated as a poor, second-class citizen."
Visy spokesman Lee Smith said its backlog of unrecycled material was up to three times greater than before the commodity crash. "Across the industry there is still quite a lot of recyclable material going to landfill," he said.
The recycling industry and environment movement are working together on a plan to ensure the industry's future. Industry leaders met federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett last week.
Mr Brumby's office directed questions to Environment Minister Gavin Jennings. Mr Jennings' spokesman, Nick Talbot, did not respond directly to Mr Woodhouse's concerns, but said the Government would work with the waste industry to overcome market variability. He said the Government had invested $11.94 million in diverting commercial and industrial waste from landfill.

Investment Dressing: Does It Exist?
I'm thinking about investment dressing and I'm wondering how you know that what you're buying really is a classic? And aren't classics often dull?
And how do you know you'll still like something in the future? A friend of mine just bought a VERY pricey dress and she told me she justified her purchase because she intends to keep wearing it when she's 70 - 30 years away!!!
No matter how much a piece of clothing cost or how much I loved it originally... friends, I get bored. The classic, expensive Kate Slyvester skirt I saved up for (even though it was on sale) I recycled a couple of years later, hardly worn.
The soft, black Italian leather jacket... suddenly, I didn't like the way the lapels sat - so out it went!
Perhaps that's why I love stores like MUFF. I know that when I do make an investment, if I go off it, I can still get a happy return!

Same, but different
Someone remarked the other day that MUFF at the market is different to MUFF Degraves.
Both stores have different stock because everything at MUFF is one-off and sold on behalf. But the same people are selecting stock for both stores - and both stores have some staples like pure wool knits and a good selection of leathers and Docs.
I will give you this... there is more stuff at the market store, and more size 14+.
If you visit on the weekend, say gidday to Sunday Sharna, a lovely lass with a keen eye for fashion and putting it all together. She would like to help you - just ask!
See you
PS Both stores are taking your winter clothing, shoes and accessories NOW!

Taking winter items NOW
Hi again!
It's starting to cool down in Melbourne, with temperatures around 20 degrees... so that means MUFF is now selling winter clothing, shoes and accessories. Check out our range of affordable coats, leathers, Docs and more!
We're also taking your winter stuff for resale - so if you've got great condition cardigans and woollen knits in all sizes, good winter coats and jackets, boots and winter shoes - just give 'em a clean and bring 'em in!
See you soon at MUFF.

MUFF in the Sunday Age
Did you see Milly Bartlett in "Street Seen," in Sunday's Age?
She looked gorgeous, and was kind enough to say that MUFF is her favourite shop - even explaining how our shop works!
Milly also said she tries to keep out of here, as she always finds something she likes and has to buy it, hahaha.
Thanks so much for giving us such brilliant publicity, Milly. We are going to hunt you down and do something nice for you, girl!
Cheers

MUFF 2009
Hi!
Hope your new year is going well. Made any resolutions?
We're going to try and increase the number of items for you to choose from this year. We also want to carry more larger sized clothes. So if you know someone with great stuff in their wardrobes that they're not wearing, please ask them to bring their stuff to MUFF!
We're also going to bring you images of inspirational outfits selected by MUFF shoppers. Keep an eye on this blog.
Thanks also to Jane Docherty janedocherty@fastmail.fm for taking some pics of our Queen Victoria Market store for us to use on our websites and promo material. Great pics, thanks Jane!

OMG, new shop at Queen Vic Market
Hi
Sorry we haven't been in touch but we have a good reason... we've been busy getting our new shop together! Every night after work, I've been cracking the whip and putting Al to work. He's also been been fixing up the new shop, hahahahhaa.
MUFF 2 (Big MUFF) is located at Queen Vic Market, on Victoria Street in one of the gorgeous heritage shops there. By the way, the neighbours are great - several have been customers which is lovely of them.
MUFF 2 is a consignment store like our Degraves St store, but it's bigger and prettier and has natural light!
You won't see the same stuff in both shops because at MUFF, there's only one of everything... so you'd better pop down and say gidday.
I'll post a pic soon.
BYE!

Welcome to MUFF Clothing's new blog!
Greetings Melbourne - and everyone who loves Melbourne fashion!
We are MUFF Clothing Consignment and we've started this blog so you can get to know us better.
All I have to do now is figure out how to post a pic, hehee.
That was pretty easy! This is me (Michelle) and Al... we both work at MUFF.
Anyways... keep checking back regularly - and don't forget to visit us at MUFF in Degraves St subway (under Flinders St station) and at our new store open mid September at Shop 111 Victoria St, Queen Victoria Market.
See you soon!
