Publisher's Synopsis

The same place you'll find iconic chairs, hand-made writing paper, exquisite babywear and the most scrumptious cupcakes: inside this book.

Calling on her own experience and that of seventeen leading Australian authorities on fashion and design, Marion von Adlerstein, the epitome of style and savvy, has compiled a highly selective and very personal shopping guide to the world (with chapters dedicated to New York, Paris, London, Milan, Melbourne and Sydney). Herein lie secrets most professionals keep to themselves…

More than a trustworthy guide to shopping for clothes, accessories, beauty products, furniture, furnishings, stationery, gifts and luxuries of all kinds, Marion's book taps into expert advice on packing for travel, choosing hotels, decorating your nest, organising your belongings and utilising the Internet. It even tells you how to buy online from stores in the United States that don't ship to Australia.

The Passionate Shopper is destined to put a smile on your face - and a hole in

your bank account. Peppered with wise and witty anecdotes, this book will delight passionate shoppers everywhere.
