Surviving Australian Fashion Week

This baby came a month early! Monday April 8th is the start of Australia’s fashion week in Sydney and I’m coming armed for the trek out to new venue, Carriageworks, Redfern with all the survival tools needed to get me through!


ghd brush, Sarah & Sebastian necklace, Tiffany & Co. bracelets, Prada shoes and pen, Graz sunglasses, Chanel umbrella,  Miss Frou Frou nail polish
Could have done with a motorcycle license this year but with the calming words of Bob Dylan in my head and an umbrella above it (FYI those pills are Panandol), I will survive!


Prada Bag, Miu Miu opticals, ELLERY+Graz sunglasses, Miu Miu sunglasses, Belvedere vodka, Annick Goutal’s Eau d’Hadrien perfume.
It promises to be a lineup of relative newbies, Vanishing Elephant, Christopher Esber and Emma Mulholland but lets not forget old favs Dion Lee, Romance Was Born, camilla and marc and ELLERY (which I’m styling this season! Yay!) and the Vodka at SMR headquarters!


Tom Ford Lys Fume perfume and make up, Ryan Storer crystal earrcuffs, Tiffany & Co. gold heart earrings, Rolex watch, Hermes scarf, Gucci belt and Chanel eyemask
Golden Moments…and let’s not forget the SMR team who never let me photograph them but rest assured, I cant live without those handsome devils.


Adidas sneakers, ghd curl hold spray, Ladurée macarons, Gucci clutch, Hermes bracelets and skipping rope
Who am I kidding, my trainer Greg Stark will not be seeing me all week. I have assured him I will be dancing till early hours to make up for it though!

The Long and Short of It

Right now it’s all about the ‘midi’. It can sometimes be knee length but not quite an ankle grazer. These longer skirts dominated the Fall 13 RTW shows and were adorned by street style royalty. Teamed with a boxy sweater, it’s the new shape for autumn when Sydney’s temperature decides to drop!
