CIRCA VINTAGE

Rarely do you meet people who are as passionate or knowledgeable when it comes to vintage fashion. 

During the week, I was kindly invited by Westfield Southland to visit one of their newest retail additions - a vintage pop up store, created by the lovely Nicole Jenkins of Circa Vintage.

Nicole, very well versed in the history of fashion, as well as costume design, showed me through a selection of her carefully curated vintage pieces, reminding me again of why I love vintage shopping so much.

Vintage Gaultier, Comme des Garcons, and a suspected Christian Dior blazer all make an appearance in Nicole's collection - a fashion lovers treat through the decades.

It was my first time to Westfield Southland in Melbourne, and I can say that I was truly impressed at how the traditional retail experience for shoppers has been enhanced with creative and innovative additions like the Circa Vintage pop up.

It was a lovely afternoon of shopping, which combined new fashion trends and fast fashion, with the glamour and elegance of designer vintage pieces of yesteryear.

The Circa Vintage pop up will be up and running until the end of the month, so If you have the chance, go along, have a chat with Nicole and admire some beautiful vintage pieces.

WHITE JEANS

I can't seem to escape my love of layering white lately. There is something so classic and yet so on-trend about crisp white.

My last 'white on white' post experimented more with textures and this time, I opted for a more tailored look, with, always reliable white denim and this incredible statement blazer.

Power shoulders plus a peplum, could you ask for anything more.

WINTER CHILL

The temperature is dropping, as we quickly approach what's set to be a very chilly Australian winter.  

During the week, I again teamed up with good friend and photographic extraordinaire, Sabine, to capture my latest cosy winter acquisition. 

Away with the sundresses, silk, shorts and shirts, it's now all about chunky knitwear, hats and coats.

If you missed my last post, I'm thrilled to feature in Toni & Guy's latest campaign - Blogged & Bound. You can find out more about the campaign and Friend in Fashion, in the short film created here.

FRIEND IN FASHION | TONI&GUY BLOGGED AND BOUND

After much ado (here) and (here), I am thrilled to present you with the final photos and short film I was involved in for the Toni & Guy Blogged and Bound project.

This amazing creative collaboration first kicked off in March, so I've been eagerly awaiting the final results to share with you.

So what is Blogged and Bound all about? The project pulled together 20 of Australia's most influential fashion bloggers to explore the connection between hair and style through photos and film. Each blogger's photos will appear in a beautifully bound book and the short films, which further explore each bloggers style, inspiration and motivation features on Youtube.

'Classic' was the theme of my photo shoot - which represents one of the four Toni & Guy hair collections featured in the project. Houndstooth twin set and a modern twist on the bee-hive pretty much nails the brief I think. 

Friend in Fashion meets Audrey Hepburn, meets Miss Dior!

Dear friends,

What a manic week it has been in Sydney for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia (MBFWA).

I've had a great time, and have lots of fashion to share with you, but first, yesterday, I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek of the blogger videos, for the Toni & Guy Blogged & Bound campaign I was involved in a short time ago.

The videos are just one part of an incredible project that I'm thrilled to have been involved in, and which are set to launch very soon.

20 Australian bloggers, 20 short films. Here is your video sneak peek.

I'm looking forward to sharing my full video with you, but in the meantime, you can get your behind the scenes preview here.

I'll be back shortly with some of the best front row action direct from MBFWA.

- Your Friend in Fashion.
