The L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival was held this week at Central Pier, Docklands. 

It's Australia's largest consumer fashion event - which continues to inspire and connect designers, consumers and retailers who keep Australian fashion alive.

The very first show of the festival was for David Jones, which featured top Australian designers including, 

Dion Lee, Lisa Ho, Collette Dinnigan, Ellery, Rachel Gilbert, Camilla and Marc, Romance Was Born, Lover, Bassike,

Gary Bigeni, Josh Goot, Ginger & Smart, Scanlan & Theodore, Carol Kapp, Willow, Calibre 

and the special guest and award winning designer from London, Mary Katrantzou who opened the show. 

I was lucky enough to work backstage dressing the models during the show.

I had the absolute pleasure of dressing Olivia Thornton who just returned from Paris, and I also helped LJ Breton, 

who shared a rack - two of the most sweetest and funniest girls.

 I thought I would share a little sneak peek of what goes on at the "Back of House", so you can see the racks upon racks of the latest fashion, 

model line-ups, hair and make-up, even models acting like normal human beings pulling faces for the photographers.

I'd thought I'd leave all of the glamourous things like steaming the garments and taping the bottoms of heels out, 

because really, who wants to see that!

Head to David Jones to check out the latest looks from your favourite designers from the show.

SUPER GLUE Store Opening.

On Wednesday night I was fortunate enough to be invited along to the SUPER GLUE Store Media Preview.

I was able to get an exclusive sneak peek at the store before the official launch on Thursday 14th March at Highpoint.

"SUPER GLUE is a unique concept space and is the one stop destination for denim, footwear and basics..."

SUPER GLUE is all about offering it's customers a unique experience.

It's a store that focus's on head to toe looks rather than trends, combining current Glue Store brands with leading edge and boutique labels 

to supply a great selection of denim, footwear and basics to it's customers.

The store really is the 1st of it's kind, boasting so many new and exciting concepts, 

including a coffee bar, music station and magazine stand and it's very own inbuilt tailored atelier.

There has also been a huge list of brands added, including the very exciting welcoming of UK retailer Miss Selfridge, 

aswell as Bec & Bridge, Shakuhachi, Antipodium, Current Elliot, Jac & Jack, Kahlo, Lonely Hearts, Denham Womens (from Amsterdam), 

Paige Denim and Scotch & Soda.

You can literally find anything you need in the one store, as there is something for everyone and every taste.

From the gigantic denim wall (in both the men's and women's section), to the huge selection of shoes from brands such as Jeffery Campbell, Senso and Nike, 

to the 'chill out' spots where you can engage in the latest magazines, or listen to some tunes at the music station 

or sit and have a nice cup of coffee - all while browsing the one store.

I'm sure it will have you all going back for more, as I'm already planning my next stop in.
A big thank you to Torstar and SUPER GLUE for having me!

With the cooler weather about to hit us in a few weeks, I've taken the liberty in sharing with you my 

picks of the hottest shoe trends this winter season from Styletread.

When I think of winter, I instantly picture my outfit with many warm layers of cute coats and scarves and dark denim. 

Almost 100% of the time it is completed with a nice pair of comfy boots. 

While boots are practical and pretty much go with anything, there are waaay more options for our feet in the cooler months. 

Different trends are always emerging in order to inspire us, our wardrobes and to keep us staying stylish all year round!

Spikes, points and hardware are three of the most popular trends you will see this coming season.

Which will you be coveting this winter?

Take a peek at the Styletread website for more of your favourite shoes and feel free to read their blog to keep up to date with all things shoe and style related.

Also, a big thank you to Jyoti! It's been a pleasure.

E L L E R Y A/W Campaign.

"SWISH"

Take a peek behind the scenes of the latest ELLERY campaign shoot

modelled by the gorgeous Julia Nobis, styled by Kym herself and photographed by Holly Blake.

The A/W '13 collection titled 'Swish' has been personally described by Kym as "a Venice Beach basketball moment".

I can see a slight influence from her previous collection 'Delicatessen', 

which was inspired by a childhood mistake of giving away her beloved teddy bear. 

The cuddly, over-sized , woolen texture of the jumper in the shoot is just that of a big snuggly teddy bear.

I'm always flawed by Kym and her ability to transform her ideas and inspirations into her new collections 

and designing them with such creativity that every girl wants and every girl would wear in a heart beat.

Gimme those textured shorts STAT!

Millie Mac | Style Diary II

MILLIE MACKINTOSH

This girl has serious style.

I turn green with envy every time I see her Style Diary posts and drool all over 

my keyboard at each individual item of clothing on her body.

I NEED her wardrobe. I WANT her hair and make-up looks. And BREATHE her style.

Take a peek at her website here, where you can keep up to date on her personal style and all things make up.

I mean, she is a make up artists first and foremost.

Stylekeepers.

1. Brand new 'Don't Hold Back' dress from Stylekeepers  

2. LMFF program

3. New 'Japanese Cherry Blossom' perfume from The Body Shop to carry in my handbag.

Stylekeepers is a new online style platform and unique online store that has been created by bloggers, designers, stylists, models and photographers.

Their pieces are aimed at the girl that constantly has 'style' on their mind, who wants to be fashion-forward and remain ahead of the pack.

(I can definately relate to that, as I'm sure most of you can to!)

"We value uniqueness, quality and effortless style. Wear our pieces, your way."

Love hearts instantly burst out of my eyes once I spotted this dress online. I knew I had to have it!

The material is so soft and silky and the lace is my favourite, being so feminine and pretty.

I can't wait to wear you!

Millie Mac | Fur Style Diary.

This is Millie Mackintosh.

You may already know her from reality TV show 'Made In Chelsea', but for those of you who are now

only being introduced, Millie is a London-based "make-up artist, beauty fanatic and fashion junkie".

I have admired her perfectly styled, super classy, head to toe chic looks since season 1, episode 1 of Made In Chelsea.
Her fur collection being the main focus all the way through, and now, more so than ever.
Her wardrobe has certainly evolved over the past few seasons; experimenting with different trends and pieces,
but she always seems to pull everything off so flawlessly.

Millie on her style right now...
"It's a bit of a mix. One day can be completely different to the next. I dress according to how I feel. 
I think in the last year it's gotten a little harder rather than really girly. It's probably a bit grungier because I've been hanging out at festivals and stuff. 
I always like to have a slight boho feel aswell - lots of floppy hats and gillets and tassels. I love tassels."

Oh, and she totally loves Aussie style and fashion.

Take a peek at Millie's 'Style Diary' and watch her make up tutorials for some extra tips.
