MBFWA good times

Georg Jenson/ Vogue Australia event

During MBFWA I went along and attended an event to preview original artwork by Inge Jacobson in addition to the limited collection fusion cuff. My favourite model (equal to Natasha Polly) Freja Beha Erichson was the subject matter wearing the cuffs in an impressive series of cross stitched artworks.

Me and the gorgeous Lee Oliveira

My dear friend Cecylia and I. Oh and ps- the shoes I am wearing was not on purpose despite the effort I went to to pretend that it was. I went out for dinner with mum and bub and had my perfectly co ordinated heel in the stroller ready to replace before jumping in the cab. But as I drove away in that cab I saw my perfect heels get pushed away with my bub in the stroller. Devastated but secretly relieved that my feet were getting a break I waltzed into the GJ store as though flats are the new heels!

Breakfast with an Iconic Audrey

Me and the lady herself: Lady Melbourne one of, if not the first Aussie blogger

Nadia, me and Bianca

Tash and I

What a way for me to finish off my trip to Sydney than at a blogger breakfast. The lovely girls at The Iconic and Breakfast With Audrey put on a wonderful morning for us blogger pal’s, this time in their stomping ground as last time was in Melbourne. It was held at my favourite Chocolatier Guylian cafe and oh what a treat it was. I had a fabulous time in Sydney for MBFWA with great friends, fashion and food. I can’t wait to head up again soon x

Bec & Bridge back stage @MBFWA

It was all hands on deck back stage at the Bec & Bridge show this morning, with the make up artist’s and the ghd team working in unison to finish each model from the beauty side of things. Alan White, Hair Director for ghd created a wet, just-stepped-out-of-the-pool, tousled  up do on the models (ala Amalfi coast style). This wet look along with the moist make up and sun kissed skin could only compliment the collection they had in stall for us!

MBFWA alice McCall

BABOOSHKA SS12/13

Another day another runway here at MBFWA and first up this morning was alice McCall. Off I went to sneak peek BTS as the style teams worked in force to get the models hair and makeup ready. Lead hair stylist Sophie Roberts from ghd had her team creating a Heidi style look with a distinct middle part, two plaits wrapped around softly, portraying that real folky, feminine and girly look that we perceive when we think of when wearing plaits in our hair.

This was my outfit today at the GHD media wall with my fresh GHD blow wave!

Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!

Wow! never have I attended a runway and loved everything I saw walk down the runway- until now! This collection stole my heart immediately from the first look to the last. I loved the strong femininity, the pastels, the peplums, florals and overall story behind this collection. Inspired by Hungarian folk art, stained glass, floral embroideries and babooshka  dolls, alice McCall called upon these elements when designing her collection. My favourite being the lampshade style skirts and floral pale blue top layered with bold statement necklaces adding a modern direction to the campaign.

What I wore: Blazer and Pants: ASOS, Jewellery: Paris Street Society, Top: Finders Keepers from Runwayscout.com, Shoes: Gucci, Bag: Celine

Just another Good Hair Day @MBFWA

MBFWA has arrived and so have I, well, a day late but better late than never. My biggest challenge so far was only packing garments that I had purely chosen for my four looks for four events. I had to restrain myself from tossing in another pair (or ten) of heels and maybe an extra cheeky dress for the road. Although jam packed to the brink, my Samsonite Raspberry coloured Light and Bright was my hero.

DAY 2 MBFWA (My 1st day)

As the guest blogger for ghd Australia, it was an early start for me to be dressed, ready and at the MBFWA HQ at 8:45am in time to go back stage at the Toni Maticevski show and get amongst the hustle and bustle on all things pre show. Make-up artists, hair stylists, nail technicians, models, media, me! oh my! It was a world of coordinated mayhem back stage with ghd teams a-go-go styling the model’s hair to beehive perfection. Lead by head hair stylist Jayne Wild, the team created a look influenced by an alien-esque or cone head feel embodied with an overall abundance of elegance. This hair creation giving another dimension to the sensational Spring Summer 12/13 collection that Toni Maticevski showcased today.

Combining a opulent softness with an elegant and structured silhouette, this collection was a fashion lovers dream. Each piece that slowly drifted down the runway to the beat of Lana del Rey’s ‘video games’ was not only beautiful but wearable. I loved the peplums, the structure, the dash of yellow and a strong fresh presence.

Lucky me had a wash and style from a leading ghd salon and THE coolest salon I have even been in might I add: People Hair Dressing in Surry Hills. My stylist Morena wizzed away with the super powerful ghd air hairdryer and tamed my ridiculously thick head of hair with finishing products for a bouncy, fresh and wavy fashion week look. Thanks Morena and GHD!

Thanks Cecylia.com for the above snap of me x

What I wore: Scanlan & Theodore top, Oasis pants, Fendi B Belt, Asos ring, Celine Shopper, Paris Street Society necklace and Tony Bianco Karissa heels.
