Tweedle-dee

You have figured out by now my obsession with the King of fashion himself Karl Lagerfeld and his genius vision for the House of Chanel and of course the many other pockets he has his gloved hands in. Although I am not allowed to say ‘Chanel inspired’ I am going to say this look is my ‘wish it was real’ look. As I don’t usually feature my ‘real’ pieces in my blog posts (not that I have loads, just the investment pieces) , I may in the future, put together a ‘real’ or ‘authentic’ look- just for you! But for now, til’ the day I am blessed with enough money to afford the real ‘wookie style’ Fall Winter 2010 Chanel boots and the tweed dress, I will stick to my DIY xx

MSFW

With Georgie and Cecylia

Aurelio Costarella.

Christine (thanks to Fashionising.com for this images…my pics came out terrible)

Debuting my Karl Who? tshirt, last night I attended the Designer Series 2 at the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week. A sea of fashionistas flocked the Melbourne Town Hall stairs, mingling, showing their best fashion accessories and anticipating the collections that await them inside. It is here where I put the faces to the blogs! My sister in law Georgie and I caught up with our beautiful friend, fellow blogger and boutique owner Cecylia and compared Felder Felderstatement skirts, I wore the studs and CC wore the ring skirt. I met Tania and Daniel from the uber fashion hub website, Fashionising.com and I was thrilled to thank them in person for connecting me to other fashionisers that lead me to my first ever styling job that kick starting my career! I met Jane Mills and her stunning daughter Charlotte from whatjanesays , Style Wilderness and Cheryl from Business Chic who snapped some pics of us!

Inside, third row back and rummaging through my gift bag, the show begins. My fav Aussie designer, Aurelio Costarella’s collection went way to quick, I would have love to have seen more amazing pieces!!! his stunning collection turned from whimsical neutrals to black for night (I love you Aurelio!) I am sure we will be seing these pieces on our Aussie ‘it’ girls at the coming events we are looking forward to this year.

I would have loved to have seen the designers of the night play with more statement prints and exaggerated spring colours throughout the show, however my heart was stolen a couple of times, first by Yeojin Bae with a magnificent coral suit (oh how I love colour, tailored suits) and then lastly the queen of accessories Christine wowed me with her oh-so-perfect designer accessories, head wear and jewellery, not to mention the styling of the clothing, mixing prints and patterns and colours- just what I wanted to see check out Fashionising.com for the runways images – mine are hopeless

xxx ps: next year I will be front row??? haha fingers crossed

What I am wearing: Karl Who? tshirt, River Island blazer, Asos hat, Felder Felder stud skirt and Georgina Goodman booties.
