Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Sydney was the other week and I was there with full All Areas Access pass to capture the great fashion moments on the runway and those little moments backstage you don't get to see. 11 massive shows over 4 big nights, our Australian designers showed off their talent!
It was an amazing production thanks to the very hard working ladies at IMG Fashion.

A little French chic to begin the week. It's not just about what you wear or what you hang on your wall, its a feeling, a mood, an attitude, an effortlessness and a touch of romanticism.
So thought I thought this {Oo La La-French Chic} post would help inspire your inner 'Frenchie'!

Winter isn't coming….it's here! Time to rug, wrap and layer yourself up.
It's all about texture and contrasting textures. Leather and lace, cable knits and denim, cashmere and silk. Beanies and fedoras are also the perfect stylish solution to keep your hair from looking like a frizz ball in the rain.

I am a visual person. I am constantly surrounding myself with imagery.
Sometimes its an image that inspires me creatively- the colour of feather, the textures in a room, a beautiful portrait or an intriguing fashion shoot. Sometimes I'm drawn to an image just from the feeling it gives me, sometimes I just like to look at images for no other reason that they make me smile or Miahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06469153252809750473noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2973820303149610896.post-80762693900349232552013-12-08T16:06:00.001-08:002013-12-08T16:06:17.401-08:00[The Finer Details] Delicate Jewellery
For quite some time now I have taken a more delicate touch to my accessories. I love the subtlety of such delicate pieces, it's more intriguing. I have kept things fine and simple with the help of a few amazing jewellery designers and random little market finds. No matter how you do it, whether it's bare and minimal, stacked and layered or beachy and bohemian you just can't go wrong.

I have followed Mira Duma's style for years now- back when she had long locks and before the big baby bump. There is something about Mira that captivates not only me but many street photographers, bloggers, magazines and the A- listers of the fashion world. Her style is unique but I think it's something more, the way she exudes this style and the way she carries herself.

So as most of you know the Spring/Summer 2014 ready-to-wear collections have been hitting the catwalks of New York, Milan, London and Paris (which you can see in an upcoming post!). I'm just as excited and interested about what's happening on the streets before and after the shows as the shows themselves.

Oxblood is definitely making its mark this season and although it has been around for longer than some might think, I believe its presence will continue to linger in the future. As you can see in this post, it is a really versatile hue. I love how it can be translated into many forms of fashion, beauty and accessories.
