Commando Babe

Hey guys! heres another awesome post from a photo shoot i co-styled recently! (you can see the other one HERE) i Called this look Commando Babe because Tash looks smokin' in this super fun and edgy get up! i feel this look really encompasses grunge street style, with the block word beanie, rib print tank (one of mine!) and the awesome camo vest. the sequin shorts ad some cute texture to the whole ensemble. we then styled it with some desert boots and spiked bracelets to tie in with the gold of the shorts.

i also really love the location of this shoot! i suggested it as i'm a sucker for cool graffiti (and i just happened to work nearby) i love how the blue and green tie in with the look.

I'm feeling 22!

So today is my 22nd birthday! i've had a great extended celebration over the weekend! i went to luna park on saturday, had a nice family day on sunday and had lunch with my friends today. i thought i'd show you my awesome prezzies :)

I'll first show you my favourite present! Her name's Inara and right now she's watching me type in her pounce position loll! She was from my dad. We went to the RSPCA on friday and adopted her and it's been love ever since!

She's so cute and crazy. Always jumping about and cuddling up really close. She's my little angel!

This totally rad avengers blanket is from my friend becca! (Ironman and Captain America on my body? yes thanks!)

My friends Bec and Nathan got me this cool burgundy beanie from factorie! and bought me this cute cat toy! the moustache is actually a guessing game lol

This collection of goodies is from my BFF! Nacho memo notes (coz we love the 2 chips video!) a framed pic of her fave pic of us. and an Ironman bobble head! (i always get the randomest collection of gifts lol)

A mini Garment steamer + money from my mum! (so badly wanted a steamer! Fashion students dream!)

and this cute Captain America themed dress from my friend Samira! All Sewn by her talented hands! Loving the detail she put into the straps!

And lastly my Fab Everly boots from Jeffery Campbell, courtesy of my fabulous sis!

I'm feeling very loved right now! especially with my little baby curled up in my arms ^_^

How to dress: Runway show dresser

Hey guys! i've decided to make a set of how to posts on dressing for certain styles or functions! since i've spent a huge chunk of last week dressing for the David jones bridal expo and Girls night out i've decided to start with how to dress like a runway show dresser!

i had a lot of trouble thinking of what to wear for my first ever runway show (and i ended up looking stupid!) so i've definitely stepped back and taken more of a practical approach this time around.

DO's:

• Wear all black. Most companies have you wear all black when working behind the scenes to separate you apart from the many people who work behind the scenes.
• Wear comfortable clothes. Pick clothes you've already trialled in real life, things that are easy to move in  and that don't restrict movement.
• Tie your hair up. Obviously this is optional but always carry hair ties and bobby pins just incase. Runway shows have super quick changes which don't leave you with much time to be fixing yourself.

DON'T:

• Wear long necklaces, dangly bracelets or rings! Especially when working with delicate fabrics like wedding gowns (You also have no idea what clothes you're dealing with until you arrive!) You can get in loads of trouble if you rip a garment. Keep the accessories to a minimum.
• Wear short/tight skirts. You will spend 80% of your time crouching on the floor so don't wear anything that will restrict your movement or make you feel uncomfortable.
• Wear heels! you spend the whole time standing so opt for flats. it also helps when they ask you to run places to quickly do something (*cough* going to level 7 to find a phantom pair of heels :P)

Just remember your common sense, you can still dress up and look super rockin' just keep it simple and comfy! I'd also suggest bringing your own snacks and water! Shows always run late and have you waiting about. Break times are pretty uncertain so be prepared.

Here are the outfits I wore for the bridal expo!

Day 1: i wore a black tank, leather look tights and boots and styled it with a chain and a twisted up-do. the back stage photographer asked to take a photo with me in this outfit too ^_^ i was so awkward!!! haha

Day 2: i wore chiffon dress, creepers and styled it with my daisy socks, floral crown and twist up-do.

i was inspired by all the pretty table decorations and wedding dresses!

here's what my adorable friends wore on day 2!

And lastly day 3! i wore a racer back top, oil slick leggings and studded boots, i styled it with my fresh beanie and simple jewellery. This was my favourite outfit. I felt super cool (and i'm so in love with these tights!)

So tell me what you think! and whether or not you found this helpful!

David jones/ Vogue bridal expo!

hey guys!

i had a great weekend this past week dressing for the David jones bridal expo! it was a great event they organised in conjunction with Vogue Australia! it included loads of awesome stalls including Napoleon make up, Kashaya and co cakes and shoes of prey as well as great interior decorator ideas and a fabulous fashion show. the show included wedding gowns, mens suits, page boy and flower girl costumes, lingerie and bridesmaids gowns. i was holding dresses that cost up to $22,000!!! from some amazing designers such as Rachel Gilbert, Oscar de la Renta, Lanvin and Colette Dinnigan.

i took loads of backstage photos (and borrowed a few from friends!) so check out the beauty!

Beautiful Cakes by Kashaya and co!

the awesome shoes from Shoes of prey! where you can customise your perfect shoe!

i'm OBSESSED with this ribbon detail!

 The dresses i got to handle.

 such a pretty flower girl! we spent all day playing clapping games!

 i ADORED this dress. Simple is best.

 Myself with the beautiful Megan (also the funniest girl you'll meet!)

 the closest i'll ever be to Jimmy Choo!

 the boys looking Dapper!

 hey sexy ladies ;)

me hard at work ;)

I had loads of fun at this event along with the other girls from The Fashion institute. This was my first ever bridal related fashion event and i learnt a lot about how to quickly do up fiddly buttons! it was really great being able to repeat the event (i did 3 days of the same show, there were 5 shows all together) i got to talk to the models and really get to know all the different people who helped out on the event. i'd highly recommend doing as many days as you can for these events! they're great for networking and making friends (i'm now also helping with David Jones's girls night out!)

Working this event was also a learning experience for me on how to dress on these events. so expect an outfit post on the do's and don'ts of dressing as a dresser!
