Australia's Next Top Model Week Seven.

This weeks shoot on Australia's Next Top Model was a 1920's theme along-side actor Lincoln Lewis.

In order to prepare them in taking on an unfamiliar character from many centuries ago, the girls took part in an acting challenge

 which saw Maddi, Montana and Simone nab a contract for a commercial with Telstra.

The judges weren't too happy with many of the girls attempts in their shoot this week, 

but chose Izzy, Simone and Rachel as this weeks front runners. Why they keep babying Rachel is beyond me! 

I thought that Jess looked incredible and stood out the most in her shot, despite the judges implying that she looked a little hoochie for this concept. 

Her outfit was so beautiful and I want it a whole lot!

I also thought that Izzy's emotion was so perfect for the brief of her shoot in particular, where they were to imagine they were leaving a loved one behind.

If you want to know who any of the pieces are by, just holla!

Ps. My fave's still Montana!

Taylor Tomasi Hill Fashion Week Fave.

This is my favourite fashion week outfit of Taylor's this year.

I love the neutral skirt and the gold chain belt, but the best part is the half-tucked printed shirt.

The only detail I would change is those wrap around lace heels - I really don't like shoes like that. 

If she had have worn cute ankle booties with a peep toe, kind of like the lady next to her in the first shot, this would have been perfecto.

But, in the words of Guiliana Rancic, she looks amazeballs!

Australia's Next Top Model Week Six.

Week Six shot at Kangaroo Island, South Australia.

I really liked the whole tribal theme behind the costumes used in the shoot this week.  

Although again, this shoot was a bit of a letdown. 

My favourites didn't shine this week, I guess the intense weather conditions really didn't aid in enhancing their performances, 

but just the overall results from the girls in this shoot was nothing spectacular, like you would have hoped from a shoot and location like this.

1. Izzy wears clothes from Costume Hire Shop, Aurelio Costarella corset belt + Dinosaur Designs jewellery

2. Hazel wears blanket cape and vintage fur wrap from Grandma Takes A Trip, Flannel braided leather top + Dinosaur Designs jewellery

3. Liz wears Levis denim shirt, blanket wrap and headpiece from Grandma Takes A Trip + Dinosaur Designs jewelley

4. Jess wears vintage furs from Grandma Takes A Trip, Aurelio Costarella leather top + Dinosaur Designs jewellery

T by Alexander Wang Spring/Summer 2012.

These are my six favourite picks from the collection.

I love the soft fabrics and the pastel colour palette, but more specifically, that entire first look.

Always amazing. Always genius. Always lust-worthy.

Christine C's Fashion Week Looks.

I'm completely in love with both of Christine's looks.

The first outfit is my absolute fave by far - I want to be in it.

I love how she's paired the same shoes in each shot with different pieces worn on top.

But I L O V E the sharp structure of both of the skirts more.

Now for her and Kanye's debut at Paris Fashion Week.

I'm dying to see!

My Very Own 'MyLookBook' Feature.

Not too long ago the lovely Krista Eppelstun from the blog and online fashion magazine MyLookBook
contacted me in regards to contributing to the latest Spring issue.

I felt so honoured that I was asked to be apart of such a great publication that I jumped at the opportunity.

There was no way I was going to turn it down!

The Spring issue is filled with so many treasures.

Most excitedly, there are a number of wonderfully talented contributors, 

including Eleanor Pendleton, Beauty Editor of InStyle magazine, who reveals her beauty rules for spring 

and also, an exclusive interview of the ever-so-popular Mandy Shadforth from Oracle Fox.

My role in this issue was to put together my Spring 'Wish List' of 8 must-have items.

It was definately the perfect assignment for me as I had already practically formed a mental wish list in my head.

Narrowing that down, however, proved to be just a little bit difficult, but I did it!

Take a peek at the entire MyLookBook Spring magazine here.

Instagram Love.

My friends and I sipping on delicious cocktails at one of my bff's 21st in January 2010. 

(Embarrassing) Me on the far left wearing Bec & Bridge | dress, Pilgrim | blazer, Forever New | heels.

I'm so into Instagram right now, it's ridiculous. It's beginning to be like my second blog.

Come and find me under 'CarolynTalulah'.

PS. I have some exciting news to share with you all hopefully tomorrow!

The Story Behind Kate's Blue Hair.

I always wondered what the exact inspiration was behind Kate Bosworth's blue dip-dyed mermaid locks,

and now thanks to StyleCaster and the Jewelmint blog, I now know.

The story goes a little something like this...

Both Kate and her stylist and business partner Cher, shared a huge love for the faded pink locks in the Givenchy Fall 2010 ad campaign. 

They wanted to pay homage to this grungy look, while keeping it simple in the make-up 

and they felt that the StyleCaster shoot was the perfect opportunity to do it. 

Amazingly, her hair fit in perfectly with the bright colours and sporty vibe of the overall shoot.

They initially tried blue extensions, but Cher felt that they were too stiff and unnatural, so Kate said, "Let's just dye my real hair".

Thankfully it worked out perfectly and both Kate and Cher were extremely happy with the results. 

Although, little did they know that it would be hard to wash out, resulting in Kate wearing her freshly dip dyed locks to the Coldplay concert that night.

Who knew!

Bec & Bridge S/S Violet Haze II

Bec & Bridge Spring/Summer 'Violet Haze'.

This is their second drop from this seasons collection which are available in stores as of September.

I really love the pastel colour palette - it's so perfect for spring time.

I'm a huge fan of the all-white look, so I think that the ones above are my favourites from the bunch,

aswell as that baby blue sweater, the lavender swing dress (that I already have in white) and the shorts suit in the last shot.

Bec & Bridge really know how to design and create clothes that every girl will love completely.

Australia's Next Top Model Week Five.

This week on Australia's Next Top Model, the girls shot for one of the show's sponsors and health label

'Blackmores', in a shoot that was aimed to capture their natural beauty.

I don't know if it was just me, but I found this weeks concept and overall shoot to be so dull and disappointing.

I honestly could only choose one favourite from the bunch and that was this winning shot by Montana.

Best photo two weeks in a row!

NYFW Fashion Elite.

There's something overwhelmingly inspiring about street style pics taken at fashion week.

While the incredibly diverse fashion has me captivated, it's the fash packs filled with immaculately styled fashion editors and directors, 

bloggers, PR and event managers that have me the most intrigued.

I always picture myself in their shoes and wonder what it would be like getting dressed the morning of a huge show, 

what it would be like to live their life, to have their career and of course, own their designer-filled wardrobes.

It's these images that make me want to push myself, to better myself, to someday be successful in a career that I love wholeheartedly.

Zimmermann Swim 2012.

Zimmermann's High Summer Swim Campaign 2012.

Shot by Cape Town-based photographer Henrik Purienne, starring stunning Hawaiian model Keke Lingard.

The shoot is located in sunny Malibu and set in and around a palatial mansion.

This seasons high summer bohemian-glamour collection sees a range of animal print, broderie anglaise and flirty florals, 

while the swimwear takes on a whole other level, marrying pretty and edgy with sheer panels and neon utility belts.

I've got to have the bandeau in the fifth shot.

GOT TO.
