Natalie Bloom’s makeup label Bloom is turning sweet 16 in 2009 and they are throwing a party at their South Yarra flagship store at 574a Chapel Steet this Saturday afternoon the 28th from 2pm until 6pm. Sweet treats (the famous Crabapple Cupcakes are [...]
L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival 2009
LMFF has been the highlight of my professional year for the past five years now. It’s a week of rushing from show to show cursing your new high heels, catching up with interesting (seemingly much better dressed than I) colleagues and gawking at gorgeous clothes. It’s an escape, a spectacle and a showcase for our [...]

David Jones Autumn Winter 2009 parade
It seems that most of Melbourne doesn’t mind a civilised morning tea instead of a glamorous evening soiree as everyone from Megan Gale, Michala Banas, Lisa Gorman (with her new bub) to Orlando Bloom turning out to the local leg of the David Jones Autumn Winter 2009 presentation. Woman of the hour was naturally supermodel [...]

The event revolves around the presentation of a very special wish to a child and his/her family, along with the opportunity to participate in live and [...]
Vintage Soul Fashion Exposé
One upcoming event I certainly wouldn’t dream of missing is the launch of Emily Highfield’s Vintage Soul label at her Fashion Expose event. There will be a flock of fashionistas attending to rummage though the young designers refashioned and one off pieces. Complimentary glasses of Chandon NV will be available from 2 ’til 4pm to [...]
Fashion Remade Salon Show
It’s not often these days that wearing ‘Pretty Woman’ style opera gloves is fitting at a Melbourne social event; but kudos to the very chic young lady who pulled off the look at the Fashion Remade Salon Show at the Sofitel On Collins. The salon show was presented to coincide with the Remaking Fashion exhibition [...]
Trinny & Susannah Makeover Winter
I have a shameless love for Trinny and Susannah (look at them over there to the right looking all foxy like). Their shows have always been like going back to style school and enrolling in fashion basics 101. The dynamic duo’s advice is always practical and overwhelmingly spot on. I’ll even admit learning a thing [...]
Suit Up Custom Playing Card Exhibition Opening
I recently overheard a precocious five year old boy confidently explain to his mother why graffiti was good even though she had just advised him that ‘people are not supposed to do it.’ It’s colourful and makes the city more interesting to look at, he reasoned to his now lost-for-words mum. Over the last few [...]
