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.

Factorie x Australia's Next Top Model Leopard Turban Headband - Prooptical Lillian Eyeglasses - Somedays Lovin' Printed Top - Somedays Lovin' Shorts

I never did hop on the animal print train when it stormed the world, but when this pretty top landed on my doorstep, I couldn't resist doing a cat mix. These cat-eyes were an inevitable supporting act.

My brother pointed out that he hadn't seen me wear denim shorts since late last year, but to be fair, ridiculously warm weather definitely calls for a resurfacing -

Sorry about the short post! Law ball yesterevening was a ridiculously exhausting affair in the best possible incarnation. I'll definitely have photos up very soon!

VOGUE Fashion's Night Out: FOREVER NEW.

FOREVER NEW's Vogue FNO activity was definitely one of the most sweetly memorable of the night. Throughout the evening, adorable McKenzie Comer worked her nightingale magic onstage outside (I always forget she's only 14 - mature beyond her years is an understatement), introduced by the ridiculously beautiful Jessica Gomes. What I loved most was seeing the stunning Spring/Summer collections in store and in person. The number of times I walked right up to a beaded piece of something and stare at it from a grand distance of 2cm was admittedly excessive (but not regrettable - the beading is amazing).

I ended up picking out the most beautiful floral print maxi with splits - needless to say, you'll be seeing way too much of it as the warmer weather gets more consistent.

Cotton On & Rubi Shoes: Behind-the-scenes.

On Tuesday, I had the absolute pleasure of heading down to a beautiful Balinese Retreat just outside of Melbourne to snap-happy behind the scenes on location at Cotton On and Rubi Shoes' fantastic Summer campaign. To my delight, all my love for colour-blocking, colour-clashing and colour-popping are right on point in the newest collection. 

Blogger doesn't like me too much, so I couldn't share all the photos I have - expect another very soon! I'm also currently working on a video for you all too - it really will feel like you're in Bali. I promise :)

In the mean time, make sure you have a poke around the online store - there will be some amazing things up very soon (I don't think I can express enough how impressed I am with so many of the pieces! Laura and the team certainly heard me... :D)

Thank you so much to Cotton On and the gorgeous team for having me down in Melbourne! It was so lovely to finally meet you all and to see everything come together so beautifully on the day :)

Miss Unkon Dress - Tie-Ups Teal Belt - Loveholics Audrey Vintage Bag in Red

Even my brother noticed the drop in frequency of my outfit posts over the past week or so... and he doesn't even understand what a blog is. But soft! What light through yonder end of my beloved laneway breaks! It is the East (not sure about that one) and Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet has been indefinitely paused on the fish tank scene on my laptop... one of the many reasons I need more hours in the day.

Having said this, I adore this Miss Unkon dress to no end. At some point I'll certainly have to do some detailed shots of the delightful cutouts and scalloped tiering, but on Monday (at 6am...), I felt inclined to shake life up with this brilliant piece of teal Tie-Ups (which is the best on-trend, pop-of-colour concept ever), and my new Loveholics bag that has not left my side for its instant-cheer factor in red.





Colour abuse?

I've got too much honey-lemon in my system to care!

P.S. I think '...pois for any clothing style' on the Tie-Ups homepage is the most adorable sentence of all time

P.P.S. This morning I had the pleasure of attending Alexa Chung's press call for while she's in Sydney - good times to be shared very soon.

MBFF: Camilla Franks.

Camilla's show on MBFF on Friday night was definitely a spectacle and an experience above and beyond the vibrant prints and colours that have always defined Camilla Franks' aesthetic. Not only was the versatility of the classic kaftan fantastic to see (definitely helped along by intricate embellishment), but the styling, make up and stunning headpieces really made the show doubly ethereal. That much movement in a piece of clothing would be such a delight to shoot.

Be sure to check out more of the Labyrinth collection right HERE.

I'm so excited to be heading to Melbourne in the morning - once again, I know! I'll be tweeting throughout the day so be sure to stay up to date :)

*love*
