Melbourne Snapshots

So the other weekend my friend and I spent the weekend in Melbourne (mostly Shopping – not that, that’s a surprise). We did the expected for all Australians when going to Melboune – H&M, the building was majestic, we walked past it on the first night and the bright red neon lights were calling my name!

As it was a ‘fun’ trip I decided to keep this post fairly fun and candid so I tried something new with my photos. I wore this outfit to the Casino on the Saturday night – and yes I won (not a lot) haha!

Overall it was a fun trip and fortunately I didn’t spend as much as I was expecting which is always a bonus!

I did however buy this beautiful Tan Suede jacket which has kept me so warm this winter and it was on SALE!

A wedding with Micahel…Michael Kors that is

Last Saturday my fiancé and I were invited to a beautiful wedding at a winery in our hometown. To be honest I had been looking forward to it for months because I had never been to a winery and I had never been to a winery wedding. So, I was very excited on how it would be and what to wear.

Before being invited I had made a little bit of a splurge and purchased this Michael by Michael Kors slit maxi skirt. I had no idea where I would wear it to because of the slit I felt that it would be perfect for a casual formal event. Then we get invited to this wedding! I was excited for the type of wedding it was going to be and for finally being able to wear my skirt!

Right when the cashier rung me up at Michael Kors I already knew what I would pair it with. My black asymmetrical ankle strap pumps from ASOS and my white crop top from Cotton On. Now, I know that there are many fashion rules that claim that a shorter girl should not wear a maxi skirt or dress because of the height that they might not pull it off. Instead looking shorter and drowning in it. But, I definitely don’t believe in that at all. I’ve worn maxi skirts ever since they came back in the fashion world and have never felt like it would wear me instead of me wearing it. I believe that with the right shoes and high confidence that you could definitely pull it off. Sometimes not all rules are meant to be followed. Sometimes they’re meant to be broken to come up with a better rule.

_DSC0446

So I finished work a little earlier on Monday so of course I shopped. I was shopping for a 21st dress (which I may have found) when I stumbled on this beautiful Ice Blue or Tiffany Blue Blazer, the cut, the style, the colour captured my attention and lead to me swiping my credit card for fashion.

It was an essential buy, I have already got so much use out of it and I absolutely love the colour!

You would buy it too if you were in my position, wouldn’t you?

Ruthie Davis – Interview Exclusive

Ruthie Davis - Interview Exclusive

When we got the ‘Yes, she’ll do the interview’ we almost fell over! There’s nothing more heart warming then having a designer go out of their way to help you with your dreams.

Interviewing the fabulous Ruthie Davis is definitely a milestone in our ‘blogging’ career so far. Starting her brand in 2006 after working for the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, she has come a long way since then and now Beyonce is wearing her designs.

Ruthie is an inspiration to all, and doing this interview brought us back to what we really love about fashion, the way it can make you feel, it’s power to change your mood and lift you when nothing else can, retail therapy is no myth and how it gives you something to cling to, to live for. Ruthie has reinforced that dream of ours and I hope you feel it too.

We also want to take this moment to thank our dear friend Betty Samis, for making this interview happen.

High Tea For Adelaide Fashion Festival

HIGH TEA FOR ADELAIDE FASHION FESTIVAL

Tea Tree Plaza was the home of the High Tea & Parades for Adelaide Fashion Festival this year.

Guests were greeted to an elegant arrangement of High Tea goods served by Nic & Rocco, the parades were boarded off by a picket fence which created an intimate setting to focus on this years top 5 trends hosted by Kara Fantasia the Tea Tree Plaza (TTP) stylist.

Kara went through each of the trends whilst models showed off the clothing in two ways, one being straight off the runway and another being a toned down, everyday look.

The five trends we are expecting to see this season are, Ladylike, Sporty, White on White, Metallic and Ruffles.

All the clothes and accessories were supplied by the shops located at TTP which made shopping the looks extremely easy after the event had concluded.

We watched in comfort with delicious cake creations at our finger tips as the parades took place.

Towards the conclusion of the High Tea Kara also went through looks to try for the upcoming Melbourne Cup which is not only a day of fashion but a day on the social calendar not to be missed!

With the standout outfit a fluorescent orange jumpsuit that was teamed with bright blue heels and hair fascinator.

Once the High Tea had come to an end, guests hung around to chat amongst themselves. Mostly about the looks and trends that were just witnessed.

It was hard to believe that this delicate High Tea event was held in one of Adelaide’s main shopping centres, it was like we were in our own little world.

If you missed that event, not to worry there are loads more yet to come!

Baywatch

Starting the year off right in my new Seafolly one piece, couldn’t help but bring out my inner baywatch on this perfect sunny sunday.

I’ve been living in my bathers for the last 2 weeks and today I went back to reality, I have to admit it is nice getting back in to routine, although I will miss those lazy days under the sun.

I am a bit of a bather addict, but this set is quickly beoming one of my favourites not only is it so comfortable but the colour contrasts perfectly with the blue ocean.

Don’t be afraid to rock a one piece this summer!

ADELAIDE FASHION FESTIVAL OFFICIAL OPENING PARTY

ADELAIDE FASHION FESTIVAL OFFICIAL OPENING PARTY

On Friday I had the honor of covering this event for my friend Betty
Samis’ ‘All About Entertainment Page’
https://www.facebook.com/entertainmentadelaide

Last night was the Official Opening Party for the Adelaide Fashion Festival. The sun was shining as people proudly arrived at Governor’s House, the event kicked off with a speech from the Governor himself (His Excellency Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce) welcoming everyone with an introduction as to what to expect for Adelaide Fashion Festival and thanking everyone for their ongoing support.
The speech was then met with a red carpet fashion parade including pieces by George Gross & Harry Who, who recently celebrated their 40th Anniversary.
For the rest of the night everyone spent walking through some of the stunning rooms at Governors’ House, which were filled with gorgeous Models wearing some of the items we will be seeing in the coming week.
I had the opportunity to talk to the ladies from Bellissimo who were over the moon to be involved in this year’s festival, the look they went for this year was sleek, modern with a hint of rockabilly that fit nicely with the trends for Spring this year. You couldn’t miss this years ‘Face of AFF´(Adelaide Fashion Festival) Lucy Bayet looking drop dead gorgeous in her red sequin gown.
During the night I also caught up with two very popular designers, Paul Vasileff of Paolo Sebastian and Cristine Tridente of Couture + Love + Madness who were also extremely excited for this year’s Fashion Festival which kicks off on the 18th of October with ‘Variety on King William’
Location: King William Road, Hyde Park
Time: 11:45am – 3:30pm
Tickets: $130
Head over to the Adelaide Fashion Festival Facebook page to keep in the loop!

Overall the night was a success with everyone who attended proud to see the local talent and help their visions grow, the love of fashion was definitely in the air and excitement exuded with chatter increasing from the guests who sipped on champagne and were served with exquisite cocktail platter selections.
The hype for this Fashion season is stronger than ever an event not to be missed.

40 Years of Fashion

40 Years of Fashion

Yesterday we celebrated two well respected Designers and Men in Fashion, George Gross & Harry Watt.

The event was held at the Hilton Adelaide, where we enjoyed acts from Tim Campbell, Andrew Desilva & Rachel Leahcar.

We were greeted with champagne to toast Mr George Gross & Harry Watt. There was a slideshow showcasing all their triumphs which included Fashion Weeks in Hong Kong, Paris, New York, London and many more with a highlight that tugged at the heart strings of many – the chance to dress Princess Diana.

They have seen many fashion trends and icons come and go, but one thing that has always remained is their impeccable taste, their love of fashion and their commitment to designing and creating clothes out of top quality fabrics and going that extra mile making sure the cut is perfect.

Not only do they respect each other immensely but their buyers, most of their customers have been loyal since they started their venture in 1973.

40 years on and they still have drive to continue.

Congratulations to both Harry & George on a beautiful and successful fashion journey.

It’s too cold for this

 

its-too-cold-1

Today, my beautiful friend Morgan Sette helped with taking some photos for us and ultimately you!
The saying rain, hail or snow clearly applied today

Ah, the things we do for fashion!

IT'S-TOO-COLD-2

Winter is the best time to experiment with your personal style, for me, I do just that, from layering up jackets and pants, to the short and stocking combo like I did today, all the way to winter dresses.
There’s so much to choose from when it comes to winter style, the world of fashion is at your disposal.

With my look, it was quite straight forward actually, a pair of winter-like shorts (which just means thick) although, you could try it with any shorts really. A thick jumper, stockings, boots and to touch it off a beanie.

IT'S-TOO-COLD-3

All of these are just the ground work, you can pick any jumper, any shorts, any stockings and any beanie, the trick is working with the same color tone, so when choosing a beanie from my beloved beanie collection I went with a dark red knit as it complimented with the shorts and both had a dusky like appearance.’

IT'S-TOO-COLD-5 IT'S-TOO-COLD-6

This winter, try something you haven’t before – fashion wise, you may be pleasantly surprised by the outcome.

In the meantime you can admire Morgan’s camera work – she’s pretty spectacular!

Black & White

Who doesn’t love a good black & white combo – it’s one of our favorite couples, they fit so perfectly together. That’s why in this shoot we decided to keep the photos black and white, because we love the classics!

A few snippets from a shoot we did not too long ago, featuring the long white shirt and stripped shirt, an easy way to wear either, keeping it casual and fresh, easy to layer upon!

One stop makeover

I took my cousin Zac shopping for a quick wardrobe update, like most guys he didn’t want to spend much and I knew it would have to be a short shopping trip otherwise I would bore him to death.
We went to Zara, and he bought 3 shirts, one including this suit shirt he is wearing (on the right).

What I love about this shirt is it can be worn casually, semi formally and formally. He teamed it with these brown pants which were his own and kept it simple.

One thing I found while shopping for a guy is the fit of the clothes, with girls there are many different fits and styles that may suit one person perfectly but become unflattering on another body shape.

With Zac, as he is fairly tall and slender we chose tops in a smaller fitted size that help proportion his body.

If you want any tips for how to shop for a boy or you have any for us, please feel free to message us on our Facebook Page or directly on the blog.

The Lilah

This afternoon we took little Lilah – four years old (not so little I suppose, and she acts like a 12 year old) shopping.  We headed to Burnside and went straight to Zara and never left.

Each outfit came to about 70 odd dollars, some a bit more including the jackets etc, but we found it reasonably priced and got some adorable outfits that I warn you to brace yourself for.

She was an angel shopping and a natural born model, it was a great experience for all not only did Lilah have fun but so did we!

Seeing her in some of these outfits makes me want to take a trick or two out of her book.

‘Summer fun’ look
a simple dress and my favorite sandals, simple yet super fun and the sandals can be worn with almost any clothing to add extra flare too!

The-Lilah

‘Winter Wonderland’ look – as Lilah would say
This one was one of my favorite looks, I just love the faux fur coat worn with the pink leggings and boots. An extremely practical yet stylish look for winter.

The-Lilah-2

‘back from a big day at work’ Look – again Lilah’s words.
This is one of the outfits I fell in love with, the simple white shirt and navy pants teamed with a trench coat that will come in very handy this winter.
And the bag, well that speaks for itself.

The-Lilah-4

‘Little Audrey’ Look
My absolute favorite look that I want to steal, by now her confidence was through the roof and I didn’t need to ask her to pose, like I said she is a natural, and looks adorable in this white dress teamed with black boots and stockings, easy to put on and easy to accessories.

The-Lilah-5

I hope you’ve enjoyed Lilah’s newly updated wardrobe, and if you need any assistance styling, shopping and photographing your child, we will be more than happy to do so.

All rugged up!

Now, it may not seem like it today, but for us Aussie’s winter is just around the corner, and a huge thanks to these two beauties for helping me model some easy winter looks.

I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions how much I love winter, and fashion is one of the major reasons why.

Firstly, how cute do they look?
Ella and Alana Glapa, showing off their cousingly bond!

If you’re like me and think as soon as the season changes, so should your wardrobe, well it doesn’t have to.  Yes it’s healthy now and then to update your wardrobe for whatever reason that may be, but if you are on a budget or don’t have any room left in your closet then it’s important to make use of what you already have!

In the first look, Ella left is wearing a simple maroon cardigan, grey staple tee, black jeans, black boots, grey beanie and a patterned scarf, it may seem like a lot of items but i’m pretty sure everyone would have a pair of jeans, a t shirt and a cardigan they can team together.  Now if that’s too boring for you, that’s where scarves and beanies come in!

They showcase any outfit, and they can be really, really cheap! In fact the beanie Ella is wearing I got free in a magazine! Alana is wearing similar, grey staple tee, this time maroon jeans and scarf, again with black boots and a patterned beanie.

So this winter people, get around scarves and beanies, and other wintry accessories  they will save you a fortune and can serve for multiple purposes, i.e. bad hair days + beanie = problem solved!

All-rugged-up-2 All-rugged-up-3

In the second look, I chose to feature jumpers!
Who doesn’t love a good winter jumper, and the ones the girls are wearing are some of my fav!
Alana, wearing white jumper and beanie, the look is so effortless yet is so flattering, the white against her skin tone and hair goes so well, and Ella, in the red and stripe again works for her, and it can work for you too!

I love whites in winter, and I also love incorporating colors, to contrast the weather.  Most people usually only wear jumpers during the day, where they can be dressed up too for going out! whether it’s with some leggings, heels or jeans and heels, this winter – invest in jumpers! you can’t go wrong, or go through the jumpers you already have, you may be pleasantly surprised with your findings.
I have a huge collection of jumpers and I swear by them, when you’re stuggling with what to wear, chuck on a jumper and your outfit is set!

WHITE HOT

White.  A simplistic trend, everyone can make their own. Fresh, versatile and accessible, we just can’t get enough!

White on white is one way to make a stand, it’s understated yet bold and seeing from the looks below, can be changed to suit everyone’s personality.

Most people look at white as being a ‘safe’ option, however it is now taking the ‘matchy-matchy’ look to a sophisticated new level.

Check  out full post and other up-coming trends on our ‘trend forcast’ page!
