Sometimes it really is a case of chasing the light as it fades if you don't get out there early enough during the day. I'm still reacting to day light savings changing only a couple of weeks ago, the sun sets a good hour or two earlier than it did only three weeks ago, so if I go about my day and get distracted I am then literally running about the neighbourhood chasing the light.
I am off to Hong Kong in early May for a couple days of shooting the fashion, sights and sounds of lets face it, one of the world's most incrediable cities.
I have some pretty special locations arranged and so I'm looking for some pretty special outfits to take with me.
The look?
The Love Boat- meets 1970s- oriental-luxury. Colour, scarfs, halter dresses, Diane Freis, luxury jewels, oversized sunnies, platform shoes.
I've had this dress for almost a year now, it's the 'Galactic' dress from Backstage and I bought it at an op-shop in Brighton. I love it when I find designer clothing that really is only a season or two old in op-shops. Why I haven't show cased it until now is beyond me, I suppose when these nude 'Opulent' pumps from RMK arrived in the mail I thought they were perfect for each other.
I've been working with Oscar Oscar salons the last couple of years to achieve my long, glossy locks and to generally keep my hair in shape. Over the years they have been so generous to Lady Melbourne readers with offers of makeovers, products, services and of course free haircuts. More on that later!
I thought it might be interesting to meet Oscar Cullinan, the man behind Oscar Oscar and talk about their expansion into the Victorian market.
It's nice showing you how it's done, I suppose because you take it for granted you don't always think to show off how many layers you are wearing!
You'll also notice that I have a new home wares addition: a porcelain phrenology head all the way from Germany. I just love it!
