MAKE ME THE DEVIL IN PRADA!!!

Today i spent trekking around Chadstone shopping centre and my what a lovely centre it is. How convenient when you walk in the first stores you see are; Tiffany, Burberry, Gucci and Coach. As i floated around the top level i thought how calm and pleasant this experience is.....that was until you got to the ground floor to fuel yourself with food at the food court and realise it was kids gone wild, arghh how did it get from A-b? ohhh Think, its a Sunday, right the families come out to play i get it. So i headed back up stairs and floated on a bubble into Prada, ohhh why must i need to eat when there is Prada bags to purchase, scratch proof leather? perfect, gold hardware? even better, Chic black and smaller size? how convenient... With a bag code on a card in my hand and a price i refuse to acknowledge i floated back out the door. Damn you lunch that could've gone towards the Prada.

Myer Bourke St Spring Racing Launch


Last night Myer Bourke street was all about fashion and spring racing style. Throngs of people were out for sneak peeks at the newest looks, discounted product, complimentary bubbly and the one and only Jennifer Hawkins. The fashions were gorgeous, some of the styling was mediocre but overall a good result. People went hat and fascinator mad as they pushed and shoved their way around tables and shelves. 25% off is a pretty generous incentive, so why not? The event was also for Myer to showcase their new refurb and it looks great. Space is utilised much better, product visible and dramatic architecture and propping. So apart from the missing glass of bubbles in my hand it was a great showcase of what Myer has to offer.





Cute as a button hair do.


The dreaded pashmina......


Miss Universe winner Jen Hawkins just casually strutting her stuff, looking amazing!

Hot dress, bad picture taking! I accidentally caught this model in a awkward pose oops my bad. As you can see colour is everywhere this spring, which as you know makes me very happy. For racing day there is nothing more visually appealing then looking out into a sea of glorious colour and frocks! make me proud ladies.


Hello Handsome!

I'm not sure about this pashmina trend, the shawl is too heavy for the dress and frankly it just looks dowdy. If you're a fashion forward lady then don't follow this trend unless your're going for that waspy grandma look.




I love the zingy colour of this dress, the draped sleeves and low v back are to die for. Racing dress with a difference, Pop that colour!



The one shoulder dress is reigning supreme this spring, am i fan? in small unique doses perhaps but this silhouette is bordering on mass production, so if you want to stand out from the crowd give the one shoulder the flick, as you'll be one in a million on race day..



Simple, chic and little bit of za za zu sparkle. Channel a modern day Audrey in this simple shift and look effortlessly chic not to mention comfort will be key.

VINTAGE TAKES A TRIP






Here i am giving this beautiful vintage number a rebirth. I love the soft pastel shades and the sun ray pleats are to die for! This is a Sportsgirl vintage number i found, sorry guys its a one off. As i floated down Bourke st i received a few strange looks. Don't people dress up anymore? old school glam is always in. To me there is nothing more glamorous and feminine then a floor length frock. It doesn't matter if the fashion gods say they are in or not, trust me you will feel a reborn again woman and a few looks here and there doesn't hurt hey? keep those people guessing. 'where is she going? what is she doing?, who is she?' mystery in a floor length, just got sexier.

ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER DOLLAR


Off to work i go, in sporty land. The sun is shining and I'm feeling festive. Love a harem pant to work in style and comfort and a slouch shirt is sexy yet chic. (in my eyes anyway) pop a top knot in your hair and some hot pink lippy and I'm ready to style every lass that walks in the door. Chandelier earrings will add glam to any simplistic outfit. Aviator sunnies are such a old school cool statement, even on the 5:50am train to work I'll rock these puppies. May get a few stray eyeballs from the tradies commuting but hey. Entire outfit from Sportsgirl. Prints and colour get on it!

DION LEE WILL THY MARRY ME?







What an amazing Australian talent, i am literally lost for words. This beautiful collection for spring summer 10/11 is breath taking. Shown at Loreal Fashion week. The pastels shades just melt in your mouth. I want the buttery lilac jacket and the frothy pale blue dress. Divine. Í'm getting hungry just looking at them. Marry me?

Launie i've arrived





I've arrived in my home town, Launceston Tasmania. 530am wake up call, how's your mother, that is early!! dressed for comfort and style today, i enjoy getting on planes dressed in somewhat professional, preppy looking attire. This way people may assume i HAVE to go to Tasmania for business... oh its not that bad in Tassie but it is definitely starved for fashion choices and style. I get a bit freaked out going in the city after Melbourne's cbd, i just think hang on, where's the rest of it? I mean my plane ride was an indication of what was to come, pretty much a seniors only flight. But the end, it doesn't matter where you are its friends and family that make it special.... but fashion is my family...sooo?
