Lady Melbourne

TweetYep, that’s right folks, it’s just finished but LMFF is all seeming like a blur! I was actually having my photo taken by someone else and handed my camera over to someone else who then snapped these of me. Quite handy really! What I’m wearing: Cape/coat: Winter 2012 Shakuhachi Silk pants: Cylk Blouse: Unspoken label [...]

I threw this outfit together really quickly because I was feeling lazy and almost didn’t make it out the front door. This was the situation: un-waxed legs which meant I couldn’t wear a skirt, unwashed hair which meant I couldn’t wear it out, needing to wear something that hasn’t already been worn this week because GOD FORBID you wear the same thing twice to fashion week.

It was quite warm yesterday, and lets face it, it’s not easy to look chic when it’s 30 degrees and you are sweating all over the place.

So last night was the opening show for the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival principally sponsored by David Jones. Last year I wrote about what a yawn fest it was, and this year was a slightly better offering in that the show was opened by one of the department stores latest international offerings, Mary Katrantzou.

I popped into Fashiondacci just the other day to pick up some stuff to wear this week and pretty much this entire outfit is from the store.

I really love Kurt’s ability to source vintage items that are on trend and in keeping with international catwalks (the midi skirt for example) as well as just plain mad things like my fury bag that looks like a cat. I LOVE IT.

The Spirit Of The Black Dress is one of my favourite events on the L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival calendar. I’ve been attending since it begun in 2009 and so I was sad to hear that this will be the last year of the event.

Ah the student graduate parade at fashion week: a highlight for so many. I think it’s the only parade where you will see whooping, clapping and cheers as models parade down the catwalk.

I really enjoyed the Carly Hunter show last week at MSFW 2012. Mainly it was the gigantic, silver, arrow earrings that caught my eye but I also thought that the digital prints were done in a way that was not derivative like much of what I saw at Australian Fashion Week earlier in the year.

TweetAs I am a one woman show, it’s impossible to blog every single event during fashion week in real time. But there is still so much to blog about from last week that I haven’t yet put live and am eager to share with you. I’ve decided to do a series of blog posts this [...]

I walked past these earrings in the window at Shag so many times before actually purchasing them that I wonder if the shop assistant thought I was a stalker.

Where else can you swan about in a silver, metallic jacket where no one bats an eyelid if not fashion week? I thought that this Lillie Rubin jacket (I blogged about it earlier in the year) would get a bit of a workout once MSFW rolled into town and last night was no exception.
