Coming up...

Melbourne Spring Fashion Week is just around the corner, Sept 1-7. Officially launches Aug 5th, get on it! xx

"Showcasing some of Melbourne's key designers, the Official Evening Parades at the Melbourne Town Hall are just some of the highlights of the Melbourne Spring Fashion Week program. Official Parades are held at 6.30pm and 8.30pm each night."

Hit List: JULY

I've recently re-ignited my passion for running and nothing (besides making others jealous of my buff - hey, I'm only human) motivates me more get off my arse than looking cute while pounding the pavement. This month's Hit List, therefore, centres around all things sweaty - enjoy! xx

TREND: Back In Black

It might be because I'm Melbourne born and bred, or (more likely) that I am not quite of model-esque proportions and as a color (okay, shade) it's pretty damn flattering, but black will always hold a very special place in my heart. Having been kicked to the curb for most of the summer in favour of tan, grey and white, black is back, baby - and it's hot as hell.

Forget the traditionally conservative tag, 'cause this season's incarnation sees black vamp it up in wet-look fabrics, figure-hugging shapes and razor sharp tailoring, oozing some serious sex appeal. Yum.

I'm back, baby.

Life has a way of biting you on the arse when you least expect it, and since my last post (which saw me happily ensconsed in a new place with my lovely boyfriend) so very much has changed.

Example: boyfriend is now ex-boyfriend.

But this isn't a blog about my personal life, it's high time I got back to business and started talking shit about the stuff that really matters - the state of Aussie fashion!
