Boutique Love - Blue is Bashful

I took a trip to Prahan for some Sunday shopping and shooting (not that kind of shooting the photographic kind) delights. My favourite wandering detour was to Greville St which I only just stumbled upon the other day. It's lined with cute little vintage shops and boutiques - a sweet find was Blue is Bashful . Their ultra kawaii accessories, textured fabrics and not to mention the fact that they stock UK label Nadinoo makes them extra special in my book. 

A bit of Culture for you

Would you look at that, I've been featured in Culture Magazine for my work at the Australian Hair Expo a few months back. 

The cover (which was shot by Diana Melfi) looks like this:

Isn't it nice?

Looky here there's my name right there!  To see more... go and buy a copy ! 

Melbourne Fashion Week Favourites - Akira's Getas下駄

Being off my step ladder and down at floor level for Akira's show drew my attention to the footwear of the show. Beautiful Getas covered in kimono fabric...it made me a little bit 懐かしい (nostalgic ) for Japan. 

Melbourne Spring Fashion Week Favourites - Colour In Style

It was a dark stormy night...Melbourne's fashion lovers and elite ventured inside the town hall and were hit with a giant colour explosion thanks to fashion students of RMIT.

Designers in order of appearance : Kasia Gorniak (poofy green & pink numbers) Jessica Slade (yellow dress), Cindy Wei Zhang (royal blue & white ensembles), Holly Simpson (blue draping), Sarah Kirby (geometric pink body suit & top), Jason Hewit (yellow geometric dress) 

A shout out (do they still do shout outs?) goes to Brad from Six 6 Photography for his kind helpfulness and usage of his pro camera. Thank you Brad! 

Media Pass ! ! !

A pretty medium sized purple envelope arrived in our mail box a couple of days ago. Long behold it's my shiny media pass for Melbourne Spring Fashion Week! Oo la la darlings! The Designer Series shows kick off tomorrow night 6:30pm and 8:30pm - fingers crossed for backstage access so I can use my awesome new light diffuser * . 

*Uh oh, I'm turning into one of those photographic nerds who gets her jollies over camera attachments.

My internet has been down but...

I'll be attending Melbourne Spring Fashion Week next week! The 7 day and night long event will  be a feast of fashion ; shows, film, exhibitions all bundled up in my city of residence, Melbourne of course! Yipee! I'll be shooting on behalf of my loyal mentor Wendell Teodoro of Zeduce while he's in NYC. Let's hope the Spring sun shines brightly in Melbourne so we can wear pretty dresses like Dion Lee's pastel delights

The lace of it

                               

A rainy day on in Melbourne took me to the National Gallery of Victoria on Sunday for the "Lace in Fashion" exhibition. I've always been drawn to lace, there's something to be said for timeless femininity in clothing...
