Camilla and Marc 

The quintessential Australian cool-girl label, Camilla and Marc does everything from solid staples to frisky and fun occasional wear. Their newest collection embraces the post-lockdown trend of ‘Dopamine Dressing’. The trend, which has filtered its way down from Pinterest to the pages of fashion mags, is all about dressing to make yourself smile, dressing up just because and forgoing the idea of needing an occasion to dress to the nines. The new collection goes all in with bold and bright colours, yellows, greens and beautiful patterns that would be equally appropriate for sipping Aperol in Amalfi as they would for a day boutique hopping in Paddington.? 

Sitchu Pick: We're in love with this classic (and effortlessly cool) cotton shirt dress. But we also can't let this bright marigold maxi dress go by unnoticed!

Zara 

We all know at least one person who has made Zara their personality and for good reason. Never not on trend, Zara offers a universal uniform for women everywhere. Their new season plays with the past, drawing inspiration from sources as diverse as Princess Di polka dots, modern linen and tailored looks, ‘70s kaftans and 2000s-style surrealist printed mesh looks and double denim combos. We’re also in love with their accessory line of simple pieces that pair bright, jewel-coloured rhinestones with thin gold-plated chains. 

Sitchu Pick: This satin mini dress is the perfect fit to take you from corporate drinks (paired with a blazer) to a night on the town with the girls (paired with a marg).

L’Idée Woman 

A masterclass in pleated perfection, L’Idée creates party dresses better than almost anyone else in the game. Their latest collection, aptly named Magnifique, is all about making bold moves with vivid colours, strong silhouettes and of course, their trademark textures. The colourways of the new collection are simply showstopping with electric blue, neon lime, royal purple (think Prince!), magenta and a more muted, shimmery pastel-violet. These are the sort of dresses you can slip into, then instantly find yourself with a flute of sparkling in hand. We can’t recommend them enough. 

Sitchu Pick: In our eyes, L’Idée can do no wrong, we're in love with each and every piece they put out but their Moroccan blue colourway has a special place in our hearts!

Country Road

“Take me home, Country Road!” Australians have been having a love affair with Country Road for decades...and for good reason. Womenswear, menswear, clothing for kids, teens and even homewares; there is really something for everyone at Country Road. The colour of the moment of Country Road is undoubtedly fern, a deep olive-y emerald that is sure to suit any skin tone. 

Sitchu Pick: You can't go wrong with a simple button up! This silk georgette shirt is soft and flowy; the perfect trans-seasonal piece.

P.E Nation 

The perfect marriage of streetwear and sportswear, P.E Nation is the brainchild of Pip Edwards and, knowing that, it’s really no wonder that the clothes coming out of this Australian activewear label are uber cool. If you have the chance, make sure to pop into their George Street Flagship store in The Galeries shopping precinct. The neon, chrome and marble adorned space is like something out of athleisure-wear heaven!?

Sitchu Pick: Looking for the perfect gym fit? We're lusting after the Airtime Bike Short and Airtime Tank combo.

Decjuba 

With simple and stylish staples, we’ve got nothing but love for Decjuba. Equally appropriate for the office as for a brunch with the girls, the current collection focuses on tiered dresses which are (to embrace a pun) truly top tier! If you’re looking to go bold, check out their electric blue, lime green and hot pink pieces or, for a more subdued look, embrace pieces in either lavender or rust.? 

Sitchu Pick: The perfect work staple, the Petra Oversized Shirt is comfortable, lightweight and chic. Available in eight colours and patterns, you can pick your perfect look. 

Lululemon

Whether you’re heading to yoga, to a friendly game of tennis, to sweat it out at the gym or just lounging on the couch, Lululemon has the perfect outfit on deck. We don’t know how they’ve done it, but the technology in their buttery soft leggings are equally durable as they are chic. Their tops, sets and one-pieces are perfect for going straight from the gym to your local café. It’s no wonder we’re so obsessed!

Sitchu Pick: Tennis is having a real moment, quickly become Aussie's favourite athleisure activity. Look the part is this fun and frisky tennis dress. 

Peter Alexander

Peter Alexander needs no introduction, as the mere smell of a Glasshouse Tahaa Affair candle immediately transports you to the world of matching PJs, colourful character takeovers and fabric that is soft beyond soft. In our books, you can never go wrong with a matching pair of Peter Alexander satin pyjamas with minimalist piping.? 

Sitchu Pick: Sleep has never been so stylish! Pick up a silky smooth pair of Peter Alexander PJs. 

Sephora

A beauty oasis, a one-stop-shop, the love affair between Australian beauty and skincare lovers and Sephora is simply undeniable. Stocking the best local and international brands (hello Dyson Air Wrap!), Sephora has everything you need to recreate the latest trends.

Sitchu Pick: When it comes to our Sephora pick, we can't look past the Aussie-made Lanolips. Locking in moisture and giving you a juicy, clean-beauty glow, these are our favourite lip balms and glosses.

Maje

For lovers of luxe, Maje by French-Moroccan designer Judith Milgrom, is the ultimate Parisian chic uniform. With bold statement pieces that can be seamlessly integrated into your everyday wardrobe, a Maje girl is a a show-stopping, IT girl who exudes main character energy. We love it! 

Sitchu Pick: Every girl needs a hot pink suit in their lives. It's Elle Woods, it's Cher from "Clueless", simply put... it's everything. With wide-leg stretch pants and a double breasted blazer, this look takes you from brunch to the boardroom. 

Sandro

Feminine and cosmopolitan, Sandro's chic pieces are the perfect pieces to elevate an everyday look. Equally as comfortable as it is sophisticated, Sandro is one of our favourite brands.

Sitchu Pick: A chic everyday piece like this neutral floral trucker-style sweater paired with the simple 'Sweet Janet City' bag creates the perfect out and about outfit. 

There are an array of participating stores and online retailers included in the American Express Offer, including David Jones, Aje., P.E Nation, MECCA, Myer, lululemon, and many more. To explore the full range of brands head?here.
