As we leave the first half of 2020 behind, we can hardly believe that we stayed up until midnight to shout “Happy New Year” for this BS. Despite this, at Billy J, we’re channelling our inner Zen and looking for things that we can be grateful for this year. Let’s be real - it hasn’t been all that bad. We mean, only in 2020 was it acceptable to attend a company-wide group video conference in our pyjamas. Or have a cheeky glass of wine before midday (oh, just us then?)   Just because we’re doing things a little bit differently this year doesn’t mean that it’s an excuse to slack off, aesthetically speaking. If you’ve been feeling less like Beyonce at the...

Let’s face it: jacket season comes around a little too quickly every year. Fortunately, winter fashion is cute AF, so there’s no complaints here. Jeans, chunky knits, scarves and ankle boots – the only thing missing is a warm statement jacket to finish the look. And at Billy J Boutique, we’ve got plenty of jackets that are guaranteed to turn up the heat no matter the weather outside.   No doubt if you’re living in cities like Melbourne or Sydney, it’s almost always a good idea to carry a jacket around with you when you leave the house – even in summer! After all, you never know when the weather will turn. In the beautiful Sunshine Coast, we’re pretty lucky with...

As we make the transition into Australia's summer season, it's a great time to take stock of your wardrobe.  Every girl should have a great selection of basic fashion items to mix and match outfits from casual to fine dining. Having the right clothing foundation in your spring/summer collection can make your statement pieces and trendy garments go much further.   What are wardrobe basics? A basic selection of clothing items may mean different things to different women. But, it's easier when you think of your clothing, shoes, and accessories as belonging to one of three categories:   Classic or basic garments - These wardrobe items are timeless, functional, and seem to never go out of style. Consider black pumps, a...

It’s no secret that at Billy J, we have a love affair with our jeans. Take a look in our wardrobes and you’ll find no less than two pairs in each colour: there’s black, off white, acid wash, light blue, dark blue and every colour in between. And don’t get us started on the different styles - mom jeans, distressed, flared and skinny.   However, as much as we love a good pair of denim, there’s just some days where we want to change up our look. After all, our jeans are meant to be shown off, but that’s proving to be an almost-impossible task for those days when we choose to spend a lazy Sunday in front of the television. What’s...
