BRISBANE ARCADE GROUP SHOW

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane
Hosted by Treasury Casino Hotel
Darb Couture - Tengdahl - The Hat Box - Maiocchi - Pia Du Pradal - Bora
Sunday 26 August 2012

Housing some of Brisbane's most awarded and respected designers since 1923 Brisbane Arcade put on a show exuding elegance and style with a glorious display of design by some of it's residents.

Classic bridal by Darb Couture started the show with Tengdahl following in spring brights with my favourite being a stunning mint sheer blouse. The Hat Box put on an amazing display with some extravagant headpieces - the Eiffel Tower was shimmering in fabulousness, the styling incredible. Maiocchi stayed true in oriental style with cute summer dresses and Pia Du Pradal stole the show with the crowd applauding in the MBFF hero dress.

Bora outdid herself with her opening number - Now, I am not showing too much of her collection as you'll have to wait for the October issue of Get It Magazine for my up close and personal interview with her and her incredible S/S 2013 range. It is magnificent xx

BEAUTY QUEEN

For years I've always been told how lucky I was to have such good skin. And for years I always blew the compliments off with a casual thank you. As I get older, I now cherish those compliments knowing how lucky I actually am.  Catching up with family, specifically the older generations I realise that it's all in the genes. My 85 year old grandfather doesn't look a day over 70, his younger sister who turned 70 this year looks barely 55 and my mum, who probably won't want me revealing her age haha is looking the best she has in years (in fact most people think she's lying when she reveals she has a 34 year old daughter!). I am blessed with the obviously magic youth genes from my mothers side but also the genes from my fathers side which carries the Native American heritage - which I believe are forever youthful. Most people think i'm in my mid-late 20's and i'm happy with that ;-) Everyone is different, so I thought I would share my daily ski

HAVE YOU HEARD?

After a crazy weekend of celebrating our friends Hen's and Bucks (needless to say the chores and shopping didn't get done) - the boy came home from a long day's work and being the good girlfriend I am (hehe) I suggested take out for dinner. But rather than doing the standard McDonalds or Hungry Jacks, we decided to order delivery from Menulog  a fabulous new take-away food and delivery website that has a huge range of local restaurants available to order from the click of a button. Step 1.  Type in your postcode (see image below) Step 2.  A list of restaurants available to order from depending on your location - both takeaway and delivery appear for you to choose from (see image below) Labrador Delivery Step 3. You choose your restaurant and order the scrumptious food! There was a decent selection to choose from, however we went with ALs Convenience Aussie & Indian Takeaway which has a mixture of cuisine which was perfect for us as we b

This Thursday evening, I will be one of the lucky few to be attending the exclusive screening of "Uncovering the Brisbane Look".  QueensPlaza in association with Mercedes-Benz Brisbane is launching an inspiring documentary film to celebrate Brisbane's style at the GoMA . Former Vogue Editor, Kirstie Clements narrates the film and plays the role as Executive Producer while it looks at it's creativity, passion and everything that draws us in about Brisbane's thriving fashion industry. Style heavyweights interviewed especially for the film include Easton Pearson 's Lydia Pearson, Sass and Bide 's Heidi Middleton, and Nicky and Simone Zimmermann . The public launch will take place on Monday 3 March. I got the chance to have a quick chat to Stylist Josh Jones who was involved with the project about what he had to say... Josh Jones How did you get involved with “Uncovering the Brisbane Look” and what was your role? I was luck
