Incu PRESENTS Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Marc by Marc Jacobs landed in Incu so many weeks ago, now, that I can't remember even taking these photos (intense apologies for the delay)! I do, however, always remember that distinctly Marc by Marc teeny tiny green/white print on navy.

Yes, I have been into Incu on Oxford St several times since the launch party to try on every article of clothing thus described, as well as wandering around upstairs holding an iPad case (for the iPad I don't own, of course!)




I spent today visiting various stylishly-inclined offices and snapping behind the scenes at Shilla and Lola vs Harper's new lookbook shoots - seriously. Such good pieces happening - I'll keep you updated!

And I promise to have Law Ball photos up soon!

Alex Perry: Closer to the money.

Tuesday evening's beautiful Alex Perry affair at the Commonwealth Bank Vault in Martin Place was certainly of some otherworldly extravagance that only Perry's SS11/12 (and perhaps Carla Zampatti) could pull off. Cerrone diamonds were as dazzlingly pretty as Claudia Navone was charming - so much so that the only word I can think of to sum up that couple of hours is 'gliding'. Models gliding, gowns gliding, generally beautiful people gliding.

Before the show, Mr Perry expressed his appreciation for the 'expensive' venue (ba-doom) and the show's grandeur. And I couldn't agree more with his sentiment that one should just buy dresses to sit on a 31-Rue-Cambon-esque staircase and feel 'fabulous'.

But first, you need a Diamond Credit Card.



P.S. Thank you for all your sweet tweets and messages RE: law ball and my For Love & Lemons dress! More photos to follow soon.

Sunburn: Bondi Beach.

Last weekend I had the absolute pleasure of spending a few hours goofing around and enjoying the beautiful weather at Sunburn Swimwear's Bondi Beach store. Ever since I snapped the beautiful pieces that would be dropping in stores starting this month, I have been longing for summer and aimless days wandering Bondi.

Thankfully the weather has actually started reflecting such sentiments recently, so it was all the more exciting to be celebrating Speedos' fantastic collaboration with the very talented photographer, Eugene Tan. I have always been a fan of photographic prints and seeing Eugene's work on the likes of bikinis, one-pieces and boardies for guys is definitely worth the stare-off. The exceptionally radiant Rachael Finch (unintentional alliteration) also graced a busy Campbell Parade with her smiles and real-life vision of her awesome shots for the collection.

A Saturday morning well spent! I'll definitely have a video for you all in the next week or so too!

Make sure you head over to the Sunburn Swimwear Facebook page too - your chance to win bikinis just in time for summer ;)

Where Couture Meets The Cure.

I've been meaning to share this for quite some time, but (as life would have it with pretty much everything) never quite got around to it. My lovely friend (the pretty Miss Nat Archer - aforeseen megababe) and a group of equally dedicated and beautiful girls have been working insanely hard to bring you 'Where Couture Meets The Cure' to raise funds for The Australian Cancer Research Foundation, for which every dollar donated will go directly towards cancer research. With some of Australia's leading designers on board (including Alex Perry, Carla Zampatti, Camilla and Jayson Brunsdon), the show is undoubtedly going to be every form of brilliance - and, more importantly, with a wonderful cause backing it.

So, if you haven't already, be sure to check out more details on the event right HERE - get in quick and book your tickets before the night rolls around on September 28 (faster than you think, grasshoppers... faster than you think).

P.S. Might I add that I'm dying for Dress 1.

FOREVER NEW: Spring Collections 2011.

Last night I had the absolute pleasure of attending and experiencing FOREVER NEW's stunning launch of their Spring Collections in Melbourne. The reason I say 'experience' is not just for the absolutely magical setting of the Regent Theatre Plaza Ballroom (though it's true that I could not stop staring), but for the impeccably choreographed and dramaticised display of each collection. The absence of blank-faced, robotic models was certainly refreshing and spoke volumes for the label's support for young, creative talent - 14-year-old McKenzie Comer's performance was charming in every adorable sense of the word.

While it was fairly inevitable that I would gush over the delicately embellished flapper-esque dresses, I never thought I would find myself wishing I had a week's worth of races to go to just so I could wear a different one of the mesmerising fascinators each day. Nobody present took any precaution in masking each's awe of the finale dresses and/or Dutch beauty, Milou Sluis - yes, she took every shade of silk, chiffon, simplicity and extravagance to the next level (yes, it's a bit unfair).





















Interestingly, my personal favourite look of the night was the stunning oriental print shift with that fantastic fan clutch (the fascinator may or may not have played a significant part in this verdict).

I'm currently pulling together a bit of a video of the show for you all, but in the mean time, check out some of the pieces that have already landed at the FOREVER NEW online store HERE.

I wanted to say a huge thank you to AMPR and FOREVER NEW for having me down for the launch - it was so lovely to finally meet you all and it couldn't have been a more beautiful put-together show!

*love*
