MBFWA Day 3

An Ode To No One

Kooey

Firstly, OH HEY RUBY ROSE! Day 3 involved running from work to home to Fashion Week as quick as I could and of course chillin' with the stunning Ruby Rose and listening to her sing 'Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen. I pretty much had to resist myself from saying, "so Ruby, uhh call me maybe?" But soon realised getting all fan girl is probably not the most professional thing to do at Fashion Week...
My day began with a long day at work which is why I unfortunately only attended two shows that night. Kooey was my first show (I decided to put those photos last), which I managed to snag a seat in the front row and receive a funky pair of sunglasses by Le Specs in the goodie bag! WEEW FREEBIES! Kooey's new collection seemed to enter the runway with a mixture of intricate shapes and prints which resembled an earthy vibe. With their incredibly fit female and male models the audience were definitely keeping their eyes peeled on more than just the colourful creative prints!
An Ode To No One was the next show for the night, and the one show I was at the edge of my seat to watch. I've always been a fan of their structured cuts and unique digital prints. And unsurprisingly enough, I was not at all disappointed! I was sadly placed sitting in an awkward corner which is why my shots are mainly of the models leaving the runway, but I tried as hard as I could to capture the creative cut outs and effective use of shapes and lined structures to complement the female figure. I was also in love with the stretcher like clear solid earrings attached to the models' ears. So mod!!

MBFWA Day 2

Day 2 of MBFWA was an unfortunately short day for me, resulting in only seeing one show. Originally I had not planned to go due to Fashion College commitments, however, in the end I could not say no to viewing French inspired Toi Et Moi's new collection! I very much enjoyed the vibe of this show which began with the most adorable little girl singing fluently in French. The casual yet chic clothing painted the le français imagery perfectly when the speakers blared The Tent with French music. As the model's entered the runway, instantly I almost felt like I was on the Champs-Élysées people watching and sipping coffee, awaiting for the chic French women to walk by.
My favourites were seeing the black and white striped garments flow by. If only I could ever pull that off!

MBFWA Photo Diary Day 1

Rachel Rutt!

 Camilla

 Dylan Cooper

  Miss Unkon

 Aurelio Costarella

Firstly, sorry for the massive dump of photos! But Day 1 of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week has definitely been the most busiest/incredible day yet filled with sleek street style, blistered feet, celebrities left, right and centre and of course way too many gift bags from each designer!
My morning started off with snapping street style and falling in love with the above black pumps with clear heels, then bolting (gracefully) from show to show.
Of course the wonderful Camilla was first with her courageous, colourful kaftans. Besides all the intricate colours, shapes, patterns and hair peices my favourite part of the whole show was seeing the flawless Rachel Rutt strutting down the runway. I could not even help myself but take awkward zoomed stalker shots of her. Why is she so perfect?! Oh and not to mention the little Camilla-ites repping her children's collection! You could just hear everyone in the audience say "aww!" Espescially, to the little boy running behind them! NAW!

Next was Project Runway's winner, Dylan Cooper with his scarf like digital prints. Unfortunately, I did not get many shots as we were running late and needed to dash to Miss Unkon! So I may be completely bias in saying this as I work for Miss Unkon, but their collection this year was absolutely breathtaking. With landscape digital prints, unique cut outs and soft pastels my mind was overwhelmed by the amount of things I wanted to instantly buy! After the show on my way to congratulate the inspiring creative director Courtney Meyer, I managed to sneak a few backstage shots of the model's hair and makeup and the pink haired artist behind the makeup, gorgeous Becca!

My last show of the night was Aurelio Costarella, who brought the night with strong statement pieces and chic, savvy designs. The floral hair pieces were bold and extravagant which topped the garments off and left me lusting for one of his avant-garde garments.

Daily MBFWA outfit posts will be coming soon!

Shopbop Showroom

Wearing: Miss Unkon top, Sass and Bide trousers, Siren shoes, Zara bag


Just last week as I was scrolling through my overflowing inbox of emails regarding Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, I stumbled upon an invite to view Shopbop's new coming collection at their showroom in the penthouse of The Establishment. Besides the fact that we were in a penthouse being fed with a delicious assortment of canapés, the showroom was just a sweet taste of retail heaven. The mixtures of neon, floral, leather and digital prints was enough to leave me ripping my credit card out of my wallet within seconds. Luckily enough you are not allowed to buy anything at showrooms, otherwise I would have spent all my earnings on a few new items by Alexander Wang.
So ladies and gents, keep a lookout for the coming new items at Shopbop! I assure you that you won't be disappointed!
On another note, this is the outfit I wore to Day 1 of Fashion Palette, I shall be posting about this event in a few days. May I just say how much I am in love with my Sass and Bide digital print trousers that I scored at the Sass and Bide warehouse sale for $50! And they are silk. UUUUNF.

Never ending closet

Wearing Outfit 1: Hot Topic tank, Sportsgirl skirt, Rayban sunglasses, Vintage boots
Outfit 2: Princess Polly singlet/shorts, Wildfox ring, Sportsgirl hat/sunglasses, VIntage boots


And once again, I feel like everything around me has been changing and going too fast, that I have been struggling to catch a breath of air. I have literally not posted for two weeks and everything on 'Blogger' has changed. If you know me well, you know that I hate change when it comes to anything technological. On that note, my Facebook changed by itself to Timeline. Not cool. It is too confusing for my likings.
Anywho, as I have been "so busy" (but really just sitting in front of my laptop catching up on episodes of 'Community') I have lacked in posting my little adventures selling my old/never been worn clothes at the markets recently. In my previous post I mentioned that Louise Maree Vintage and I would be sharing a stall at Glebe. And this day went splendidly! Unfortunately though, it was a super hot day and we were just too swamped to take any good outfit shots. But I must say, that I adore my Misfits skull tank matched with my pink pleated maxi skirt. 
As it was so hot, I sadly struggled to walk around in the blazing heat to visit other stalls. However, on my way to 7/11 to pick up slurpees and meeting Patrick, I did manage to catch a quick glimpse of my competitors and I must say their vintage stalls looked incredible to the point I had to resist the temptation of walking into their stalls and spending all my earnings I had made that day.  
As well as Glebe Markets, Louise Maree Vintage and I decided to sell at the UNSW Flea Markets which they have on the first Wednesday of each month. As this day was not so hot, and the environment was a lot more relaxed we managed to get a few shots of my outfit. A simple knit singlet with burgundy high waisted denim shorts. Right now, I have this weird fetish for all things burgundy...
Lastly, sincere apologies for my lack of posts, stress has been raising a bit high as Fashion week/Fashion Palette zooms around the corner. I think I have finally found all my outfits for each day, so keep your eyes peeled as a lot more posts will be coming soon!

Wearing May in April

Wearing: My Pet Square skirt, May top, Sporstgirl necklace, Wittner shoes

First off Happy Easter to everyone! I hope you have already eaten so many chocolate eggs and bunnies to the point you’re all laying on the couch with your arms and legs spread wide out due to massive food babies…

So it’s finally the long Easter weekend and for the first time I feel like I have nothing to do with myself. Usually my schedule is work, college, work, ballet, work and more work, resulting in no time off! Therefore, Good Friday just felt incredible when I had nothing to do. So what perfect way to spend the sunny summer-like day than relaxing around and sleeping in and having bacon and eggs at 12 o’clock?

After Blake and I slowly realised we were wasting away the beautiful afternoon, we decided to take a little road trip to Bundeena and “get in touch with nature” as Blake sees it… The way I saw it, was that trekking through the bushes to find our location was an instant hazard due to my lack of coordination to walk on non-flat surfaces. Luckily enough, I only tripped once…

However, what was difficult was stabilising myself in heels in windy weather on those bumpy rocks! Besides this, the sunset was perfect in Bundeena and the wind helped my sheer maxi skirt from ‘My Pet Square’ to flow gracefully. On that note, I scored this delightful designer item for only $40 at The Big Fashion warehouse sale!

Lastly, one of my favourite wardrobe pieces right now is this blue sheer top from ‘May’ which I have probably outfit repeated too many times. But I really don’t mind, as I am so in love with the print and the mixture of pink and blues.

Finally, don't we all agree that Blake did an amazing job with these photos?! The sunset and landscape look phenomenal! So thank you so much to Blake! Check out his photostream on Flickr!

Georgia state of mind

Wearing: State of Georgia skirt, Zara tank, Siren shoes, Sportsgirl watch

If you aren't already currently aware, I work at Princess Polly in Pitt St and one of the greatest perks about working there are receiving and opening boxes to indent brands. Indent, is the name we use to label high end brands we receive in store and one of my most exciting moments was when I cracked open a big box of State of Georgia clothing. My favourite piece out of everything received (which was not much at all) was this 1950's style, floral skater skirt. There's nothing more exciting to me than putting on a fun and flattering floral skirt, that I can twirl around in and be reminiscent of my free childhood days. What I also love about this skirt, is the way the skirt flows almost creating pleats which creates the illusion of skinnier legs, YAY!

On top of this my super comfy platforms are by Siren and were bought from Wanted on sale for only $60! So much love for decent bargains <3
