Sex it up…just like in the movies!

Photobucket

For some reason, there seems to be something VERY sexy about a woman in a ‘Man Shirt’…loose and long and unbuttoned ‘just so’…you know the scene Im talking about, all those Hollywood movies where the woman stays the night: The Man Shirt never fails.

However, as a Man-Shirt-Lover from waaay back, I know that we have bums and hips that are almost impossible to fit in a regular ol’ slim-hipped-Man Shirt. Enter my favouritest shirt label (that up until now I have been buying in other stores…gasp!)…TR ENSEMBLE by THERESE RAWSTHORNE. Welcome to our shop TR!!

Photobucket

I’ll have one of each please….umm…Not kidding.

Photobucket

These Man-Style-Shirts are strictly for the ladies…super soft cotton, perfect faded sun bleached colours for Spring, and if all else fails you’ll never go wrong with plain white and a bit of a tan. And if you thought a simple shirt was good, then check out the Buffalo Shirtdress…it comes with pockets and will be a huge winner over spring and summer…add sandals and a rope belt and its hello beach…

Photobucket

Here’s one I took on the mannequinn yesterday…Buffalo Shirtdress from TR Ensemble in Khaki, worn with Libertine Belt and Zola shoes. LOVE IT!!!

Photobucket

Check out WHATS IN THE WINDOW tab for some more looks in the shop from TR ENSEMBLE. Get in quick, it’s time to re-enact some Hollywood steam.

How about a little FLUX?

Photobucket

Spring is looming boys, and there are certain things that you need to get NOW to get you ready and up-to-date for the warmer months. Trust me…it’s pretty simple and you will love it.

Photobucket

Prison Shirt Pale Blue

The things you’ll need are: Chinos (cool ones, not ones like your dad used to wear), a lightweight chambray shirt (ditto), some colour (with a tshirt or jacket, or coloured pants if you are daring), and an unstructured jacket of some sort in case the weather gets nippy.

Photobucket

Birdland Chinos Tobacco

Prison Shirt Mid Blue

Photobucket

Look no further than FLUX MELBOURNE for all of these things…they have absolutely nailed the look for boys this season. Their chinos are seriously the best cut out there -just ask all the boys that have bought them in multiple colours! And the gelato coloured tees teamed with two shades of chambray…perfect spring outfit.

Birdland Chinos Navy

Photobucket

All the Flux garments come super creased, so you’ll have the perfect excuse to look a bit dishevelled “It came like that!”…but all the creases can be ironed or steamed out just in case your style is more crisp.

All items shown here are lovingly made in Melbourne by FLUX and are available until stock lasts at Alfie’s Friend Rolfe. Look out for more Flux on our What’s In The Window tab above.

More Beau Coops

We’re getting so many requests about these! I’m so sorry I haven’t had a chance to put an image of them on the website until now…and to be honest, we’re running very low on sizes again! I have heard through the grapevine that we may be able to get a few more black ones in, but that might just be chinese whispers…it’s best to come and get a pair ASAP.

“What the hell is she talking about?” I hear you ask. It’s the most coveted pair of booties in town…ANNIE 2 and BEAU 5 from BEAU COOPS; Designed in Australia, Made in Italy, Sold at Alfie’s Friend Rolfe in Darlinghurst.

Photobucket
Get a wriggle on, or call us (02) 93610220 for your new pair of perfect booties.

“His and Hers” from Rittenhouse…

Photobucket

Photobucket

When we can buy labels that do an equally good range for both men and women we get very excited…his and hers ranges are so much fun for us to look at!! “Does this cute men’s top come in women’s sizes?” or “do they make anything in this material for guys?” will inevitable be answered with a resounding “yes!”. Yipee!!

Photobucket

Photobucket

Sydney label RITTENHOUSE has provided exactly the kind of collection I’m talking about. With a few pieces actually crossing over both the men’s and women’s ranges, you no longer need to long for clothing on the “other” rack. The anoraks and blazers in linen look super cool on boys or girls (see blazers above and anoraks below)…might be time to embroider your name on the inside, so no one nicks off with your new favourite jacket. Beware of partners, siblings, housemates nicking off with your new androgynous duds.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Aside from that, there are cosy sweatshirts, track pants and sailor stripes for everyone, lovely shirts for the boys and perfect pleat front pants and a wicked crinkly jumpsuit for the girls. All in the usual Rittenhouse colour palette of black, navy and grey, on the softest materials money can buy. LOVE.

It all looks perfect for current Sydney weather…I’ll take one of everything in linen please!!

Until stock lasts. AFR xx

Lovely LOVER Autumn / Winter is here…

As you may or may not know, we stock predominantly Australian labels in our store. We’re quite proud of that…it’s good to support the local industry.

But in the early days of Alfies Friend Rolfe, we only had a few Australian labels amongst all the international offerings, and the only one we still have today is LOVER. We discovered it’s beauty nestled in amongst the stalls at Bondi Markets, and it’s been gracing ours shelves ever since.

When they continually offer up beauties like the pieces pictured above and below, it’s easy to see why after almost a decade we still love LOVER.
