Next Generation Fashion Graduate Award

Do a twirl

I heart American Apparel (www.americanapparel.com.au) for its basics as well as retro pieces and accessories. I just bought this 100% LYCRA dress - in a bright green colour, referred to as serpent. Continuous and childish twirling absolutely compulsory when wearing. WEEEE!

Slip, Slop, Slap for MBFF

This Sunday marks the beginning of the the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival - Brisbane. The Swimwear show will be held at Portside Wharf 12.00 outdoors in this gorgeous sunshine and unrelenting 'winter' heat. Ladies your attention - pack a hat and SPF 30+. I'm thinking something white and floppy like this Philip Treacy number on sale now at Jean Brown.

After the show, a lucky few will be treated to some hot laps down the Brisbane River aboard the MV Fantasea Ammari while Napoleon Perdis does tricks. Hawt.

BODYSUITS - can't get enough!

This Sunday at Portside Wharf (http://www.portsidewharf.com.au/) will be the first show for MBFF - sexy swimwear......... Couldn't let them have all the fun so I've bought this hawt asymmetrical bodysuit from trusty Mink Pink (http://www.aboutagirl.com.au/). For the record, I will be wearing pants over it - or will I? Lady GaGa style.......

Don't know what it is, perhaps memories of glory days as a ballerina, but I just love the bodysuit. Snaps or no snaps, I just can't get enough. I like to throw a few leotards into the mix as well......... Why not - they're one piece too.
