Runway 12.11.09

Thursday night found us ladies strutting and styling around Mynt Lounge for the Runway fashion show. Panicked, Perfected and Proportioned all at the same time the ladies did a fantastic job of styling it down the runway the way I liked!

Makeup was dazzeled and inspired by famous dolls of past and present with up do's to create a fresh young look which was widely accepted.

Showing a few pieces from the Carnival range and few new add in specialities the show ended in fine style and a disco to follow soon after.

A big thankyou to Bianca Morsello, Molly Sweeting and Renae Bernado for being effortlessly gorgeous and primed in time. And also a thankyou to Jade Coulter - for keeping my head sane and pulling me into gear back stage!

Stay tuned for the professional shots shortly...

Wishing you were in the age of Innocence...

Who hasn't wanted to be prom queen... in your tulle delight and princess tiara, isnt it every little girls dream right? It seems to draw from a fairy tale innocence that has been built over my decades of social myths.

Innocence is a funny word, it can be interpreted in many ways and many likes. It can come in the form of your actions, personality and definatley the way in which you dress to impress.

Some of us prefer to tap into our inner innocence by portraying hues of behaviour, styled by elegant fits and coloured in taste. Others, on the other hand prefer to break styles, forget the rules and lose respect for themselves. Just because you have grown up, doesn't mean you have to stuff up.

Personally, I prefer pretty 1950's styled frocks...they tend to leave you in a state of wishing you were in the age of innocence. Perfect in elegance with a tapered waist, full bust and skirt will do bring out the lady in you. Lovely for Spring and Eclectic enough to cause a stir these antique darlings always play fair.

Dress nicely and play nicely...

Hairspray - the best ode to the full skirt on the modern Silver Screen!

Grease Barbies!!!

When Lightning Strikes...

There is nothing worse than rain drops and thunder in times of disco desire... It squashes your hair's ego and your bronzer turns into messy trickles of gold. It's a complete mojo killer after you have spent the time to do disco-glam.

However, when severe flashes of lightening zigzagger across darkened midnight skies, the adrenaline does start to build. As a lover of fashion and anything that stylishly flys through, that very same kind of adrenaline flows through me when showstopper makes its mark.

A few little specials that have got my adrenaline going as of recent involve large shoulders (and a tiny waist), anything Balmain or Chanel, bodycon dressing, anything BeDazzelled (studs, rhinestones, bling what have you) and a little bit of lightning...

For your viewing pleasure at this ridiculous hour...

hoping that this kind of lightning may just strike...


BodyCon at it's Saturday night best!!!

Miss Momsen...

Completely loving Miss Taylor Momsen in her very swish Versace at the Whitney Museum Launch - Versace in fact does win hands down each time, and so does this little uber blonde when it comes to the style stakes...

I'm not sure whether its her fabulous long blonde locks working in unison with killer makeup application that captivate me or her fantastic right on point of style each time... playing the fashion-driven Jenny Humphrey on GG sure has her styling life in character.

Loving her Momsen-Manoever on this elegant Versace gown styled with the fishnets, how so elegant and euro-trashed at the same time - which sums Versace right up. Oh, and also loving her Barbie doll pink mini with matching lipstick - barbied out, but we all love it.

For your viewing pleasure...

Jump Around...

Thoroughly enjoying Jumpsuits at the moment, or whatever you may refer to them as.... (Playsuits, Onesies, Rompers, HappySuits... etc)

There is something undoubtably disco about any ensemble whether it be from now or from a special time ago, some either Love them, Hate them or are just plain scared of them.

Forever Classic in Black seems to always make a statement, teamed with a plunging neckline and a bare back do indeed take my frivilous fancy. The current issue of Vogue perfects Catherine McNeil across the cover in a Louis Vuitton statement piece, ever so now and ever so back then in fruitful fuschia. All this current emphasis has reminded me of a similar black version I picked up in a vintage store a few years back, I think it's time I resurrected it from the depths of my wardrobe!

The best place to look for vintage playsuits is in fact online, I have pursed a few dazzelers via the internet and have been pleased with the results! There are also a few of the major chainstores running them, but chances are you may run into another fashionista wearing your fantastic find!

Whether you prefer short leg, long leg, strapless, halter, patterned or plain there is a jumpsuit for all..

Don't be scared of them... they are really harmless and alot of fun...

...happy viewing...

Energised by...

Motivation can be defined as the energising force that activates or triggers behaviour, which provides purpose, direction and drive to that behaviour (Quester 2009)

We all come from different places and all want different things, so when it comes down to it…what energises you to get your motivation moving?

Knowing that the weekend weather is looking sunny and surreal, wanting to get that fantastic promotion or maybe… for you fashion lovers, a run down on the new seasons trends and looks that will revive any lost soul!

Apparently denim is getting skinnier and shinier (get your shoe horn out, because you may need it to squeeze into these babies), everything is over be-dazzled (Who hasn’t wanted to dress like they did on Dynasty) and print (PUCCI!) is creating a perfect puzzle as to what to style it with.

For some, these looks energise and electrify us into realms of style havens, where we dream about where we will parade these imaginary looks right into life.

Currently energising…

This evening... le disco

This evening… is le disco, ladies it’s time to get on your fashionables and tease your hair to heights that match your towering stilettos. In our stylish city of Melbourne, the individuals that float across dancefloors, stand pretty on podiums or that rock out in secret locations all seem to promote their own look through style and image. This makes our fine town quite competitive within its reaches for those who like to roar up the style stakes.

Whether you prefer a palette of colour, marvellous metallics or ever-classic black your own style is tuned in to what you feel, see, prefer and aspire to be.

With summer not to far away and today’s Moody Melbourne Weather looking sunny and surreal for today, I’m feeling a bright vibe for the evening to tie in with the feel.

What will you aspire to tonight?
