Did you know that Metalicus featured in the first ever Model and Me post here on Styling You … way back in 2010? Could have sworn it was 2011 but it seems the ability to let the years all blur into each other is yet another bonus that comes with this thing called ageing . I’ve… Continue Reading

I love hearing great business stories. And I especially love hearing great fashion business stories. Kerry Pietrobon is living one of those great fashion business stories right now. After being retrenched as a designer for another label in November last year, she decided (with her husband) that it was time to create a brand that… Continue Reading
I’m going to call it. If you buy one new clothing piece this autumn-winter, then make it either a pair of black leather pants or a black leather skirt. Now, before you go clicking away thinking oh my God the girl’s really lost it this time, stick with me while I explain where my head… Continue Reading
Ahh, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia* you seem so far away now. There was the build-up, the anticipation, the excitement, the outfit planning, the organisation at home. And then I was there. Doing it. Treating each day like a new adventure. An adventure with some of the most serious people watching served up on the side. Fashion Week… Continue Reading

Because I commission these posts and these bloggers are helping me to keep my blog running while I’m away from regular duties, I’ll also be paying them for… Continue Reading
It proved to be a golden ticket in every sense of the word. Thanks to my work with Maybelline NY Australia*, the official makeup sponsors of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia 2013, I was able to sit alongside (or in the general vicinity) of Australia’s fashion designing elite and a few celebrities and witness the most… Continue Reading

Yes, Elle Magazine Australia re-launched last night as part of the final show at Mercedes-Benz… Continue Reading
With so much focus at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia 2013* on the minimalist face, it’s quickly became apparent how important it is to give good brow. Without a well-defined brow, your face “disappears”. This is especially the case if said face is under lights on a fashion show runway, as in the case of The… Continue Reading
There’s been a minimalist trend towards makeup at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia 2013* where, gosh, horror, models either hit the runway without any mascara on … or just a little near the eye line. I know, it scares me too. While I may not whip up a smokey eye every day, I most certainly do add… Continue Reading
Ponte and I have been firm friends for quite some time now. And I do use the word firm appropriately here.
