My faaaaaavourite thing to look for in clothing when I'm browsing, shopping, or making are the little details! They are the things that make items unique - some piping that adds some crispness, a contrasting fabric trim, some complimentary bias binding framing a neckline and fabulous eye catching buttons!
Since returning from Europe I've spent two weekends in Sydney and there's a button shop on King Street in Newtown that I've walked past numerous times but never entered so I finally got past the front door this month.
The store is called All Buttons Great And Small. It's a small store, but buttons are small too and they have PLENTY to choose from in every colour, shape, material and pattern imaginable. Check these out:
I ended up settling on a small pack of these. After coming back from Paris my immediate thoughts were NAPOLEON! I love them. I'm sure they're going to inspire a great piece. I'm thinking perhaps a cute black winter cape jacket with lapels?
I hear there are some similar stores right here in Melbourne so I will have to scope them out sometime soon. Recommendations welcome!!

I haven't been, but my sister has been to Buttonmania and had buttons specially-made there, I think they have ready-made buttons too. They are in the Nicholas Building on Swanston St!
