Spending our sunday surrounded by sunlight glistening through jungle trees, amongst brightly coloured flora and fauna- otherwise a twilight sanctuary for us Brisbane creatives. Caught in a beautiful spring breeze and watching our exquisite silk kimonos from Lisa’s Closet flutter, made me feel free, peaceful- rich in natural beauty and happiness. In an attempt to capture Bohemian hearts, Jemma and I are wore relaxed pastel and fruity colours, playful pieces from Vigari Fashion. A love of multi- texture was seen through the layering of chiffon and silk, which was garnished with crystal and silver trinkets from Hunter Gatherer. Our wild spirited nature was abundant, from our curly, untamed fishtail braids and soft, natural makeup. We were one with the earth, happily lost in the beautiful garden…The Garden of Freedom.

As a fashion blogger, I get invited to some very classy events and style wise I always opt for something timeless and classic- a little black dress. Both elegant and sophisticated, an LBD is a fail-me-not staple. Teamed with gunmetal/pewter accessories and two-tone crystal heels, I felt inspired by some Hollywood glamour as I attended the Tendence Australia Brisbane Launch with my best blogger/photographer date, Yolanda from BNEStyle.

The new Tendence Australia Brisbane store is located on Adelaide Street in the busy hub of Brisbane city. The store itself is super modern, with fresh white interior and an eye-catching feature wall displaying larger then life timepieces of major fashion capitals: Tokyo, Paris, New York, Sydney, Hong Kong and Dubai. The watches are displayed beautifully in glass cases, creating a very luxe atmosphere.

Sipping Champagne and eating delish appetisers, we browsed the  entire range of Tendence watches. Highly unique in design, Tendence watches are known for their large, bold face, precision handcrafting and exquisite materials. Not just an accessory, Tendence watches are an investment piece, a staple for any outfit, fulfilling their vision, “Don’t be ordinary, be extraordinary”. I instantly fell in love with a baby pink number from the Fantasy collection. With a bold and pink design- what’s not to love?

ashleigh-and-celebritiesFeeling a little startstruck among Australian celebrities Mike Goldman and Kara Ryan and Tendence Australia celebrity ambassadors, Layla Subritzky and Beau Ryan. 

The event had a fabulous celebrity lineup including Mike Goldman (Australian tv and radio presenter), Stav Davidson (B105 FM morning radio host), Antoinette Marie of Sydney Fashion Blogger and Kara Ryan (wife to Sydney footballer, Beau Ray). Their celebrity ambassadors included the beautiful Layla Subritzky (Big Brother Au 2012, Celebrity Apprentice) and Sydney rugby legend, Beau Ryan (Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks). Both Layla, Beau and his wife Kara were very down to earth, chatting about their similar wardrobe choices for the evening (Layla & Kara) and were  happy to pose for photos. Definitely a monumental moment for The Blonde Silhouette!

I would like to thank Samuel from Tendence Australia for the invite and for having me- I had a wonderful time! For those fashion-savvy followers who are yet to find the perfect timepiece, definitely check out the official Tendence Australia Website, Facebook page and follow their active instagram channel @tendenceaus.

The second chapter from my recent collaboration with Evelyn Curtis, features a play on multi texture seen in the structured floral cotton halter and exquisite white lace split maxi skirt. The beautiful floral crown with lace overlay transforms the look to a perfect race-day attire. Strolling along the water front with my blogger/model friend Fashion’s Sweethart, made me feel very  blessed to be surrounded by such talented Brisbane creatives. Not to mention the femininity of the beautiful EC clothing made me feel like a porcelain princess, and hey that’s every girls dream amirite?
