Interior design student Laura Casey is a big fan of Australian designers, craftsmen and makers. In her hunting ground of Melbourne, Laura finds she's spoilt for choice.

Charming. That's who Mouna Stone is in every way. Beautiful, talented, creative, but totally down to earth and fun. Here's our sneak peak into the life and wardrobe of this one cool chic.

"As a child I loved watching I love Lucy, I loved to see Lucy dressed up cooking dinner, and I wanted to be just like that, in heels cooking dinner. I'd like to be the Ambassador for the cook in heels!"

Wanna be a stylist? Leiza would recommend you start with great passion. Oh, and a love of shoes. "I've been like this since I moved out of home at 19. I was renting with girlfriends, had a low paying job, and loved to go out and most importantly loved to shop! I would always buy something I could wear to work and could potentially wear going out also..."

"I’ve always loved getting dressed up, but the industries I’ve worked in have never required it. Uniforms, jeans and t-shirts were the general attire. At some point I think I became sick of waiting for the occasions to wear nice clothing and so it became a part of everyday. The way I look at it now is, as long as I can climb a ladder, lift, carry and stand on my feet for long periods of time I can wear what I want".

You've got to love a girl that starts the day dressed in a relaxed style, and dusted with some healthy ambition. "I am pretty lucky these days, as work for me is at home. So, generally, I will be in denim shorts and a singlet (and no shoes!) or gym gear, in the hope that I will either go to the gym before work or after work - it normally works I swear!!"
