Con. Cav Con.

Last Thursday (it really doesn't seem like that long ago) I did a bit of an epic PR sweep of Sydney (no seriously) starting with the lovely Cav Con showroom, which was definitely a bright and wishlist-worthy start to the day. You'll all, no doubt, remember my ravings about Ginger & Smart's fantastic SS11/12 show just before fashion week (if not, you probably need to do some reading HERE to get up to speed :p). Well, seeing those pieces up close is a whole new experience in itself - I hadn't realised that the fantastic fringe happenings on this skirt were actually lines of laser cut poetry (though now that I look at it I feel a bit silly for not seeing it the first time round).

Cav Con just recently got Christopher Esber's incredible pleats in too - which I obsessed over to the point where I couldn't touch them in case their delicate engineering disintegrated. Thankfully, the baby blue and pink (and occasional pop of the most fantastic red) were enough to keep me going visually.














Gorman and Triwa did the best job of gearing me up for Summer (yes half the people I know did just jet off to sunnier locations on the globe... yes I am obscenely jealous). As evident in my outfit goings on this week, I'm quite liking my pops of colour and both Gorman's prints and Triwa's eye-candy function do pretty well in satisfying that!

Thanks so much to the lovely Cav Cons for having me round!

P.S. Pretty exciting giveaway set to go down tomorrow. Watch. This. Space.

Ginger & Smart SS11/12.

I'm struggling a bit on the sleep front (clearly) and RAFW hasn't even started yet! But Ginger & Smart's stunning SS11/12 collection show makes it that much more worth it. Aside from healthy juxtapositions of leather on sheers, and structured chiffon, I was probably more excited to see that borderline neons pinks and yellows are very much alive and breathing (and billowing about the ankles of 6ft tall models like it's nobody's business). The finer details, too, were a story in themselves: Alexandra and Genevieve's slightly curved hemlines and sneaky cut-outs, inserts, and here-and-there slits caught my attention more than anything else.

And for those of you who thought cloud-like maxis were in and out the door? Sorry. Ginger & Smart says no.

Thank goodness.

Some more of my photos are up on the Shine By Three Facebook Page so be sure to take a peek! I'll also have some happy smiley photos up soon of front row blogger loving and other such goings on.

Tomorrow's agenda is an early morning shoot, a midday show, and a chilled-beans afternoon. I'm far too excited.
