MBFF Brisbane Myer SS16 Show

The 10th anniversary of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Brisbane kicked off with a bang, as Jennifer Hawkins opened the Myer Spring Summer 16 Show, powering down the runway in a stunning Alex Perry lace pencil dress. The face of Myer was accompanied on the runway by Myer ambassador Kris Smith, who looked chiselled and dapper in his tailored M.J Bale suit.

Like any fabulous runway event, the front row was filled with fashion A-listers including Alex Perry, Adrian Norris and Edwina Robinson of Aje, Emma and Amy Sheppard and this season’s Bachelor evictee Jasmine Brown.

This show was my favourite from the week, as it showcased Myer’s new Spring Summer 16 collection from the top Australian designers including Alex Perry, Tony Maticevski, Aje, Acler, Cozi, Cue & more. If there’s one thing I’m certain of, it’s that I’ll be hitting up Myer to snap up my favourite pieces before they sell out.

Hello, Coco!

Bec & Bridge Coco Dress, Wittner Rover Heels, Swarovski Brief Earrings, Fossil Rondel Bracelet, Fossil Bevel Glitz Bangle, Oroton Clutch (similar style here).

The week before the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival hits Brisbane, I’m in prep mode, strategically organising my outfits to coordinate with the theme of each show I’m attending. Being the 10th anniversary of Brisbane’s premier fashion event, my wardrobe had to be on fleek all week, starting with a fabulous outfit for the opening Myer SS16 Show. What better way to start the week, then with an edgy lbd?

I’m suddenly out of my conservative comfort zone and into a Bec & Bridge cocktail dress, featuring an allover sporty mesh fabric and sheer panelled neckline. I’m not sure whether it was the fitted form or the deep v neckline (or both), but I felt feminine and sexy showing off my curves. I’m also loving the structure of this fluted skirt!

Rocking a black on black ensemble right down to the footwear, I’m breaking in my new Wittner heels which feature the fierce lace up design that’s heavily on trend this season. Now to emulate the ladyboss strut of Jennifer Hawkins as she hits the MBFF runway…watch this space!

Peppa & Pearls

Tyson And Peppa – the name on every Brisbane fashionista’s lips, is a trendy little boutique just off Brisbane’s James Street precinct. It’s owner, the fabulous Josh Kilroy has devoted his life to fashion, from styling editorials to runway, lookbooks and high profile fashionistas. His latest entrepreneurial venture sees him stocking leading Australian designers like Zhivago, Michael Lo Sordo, Casey Tanswell and more.

I stepped into the newly launched boutique last week and was instantly transported into a more personal working space rather than a storefront, enveloping Joshua’s aesthetic of classic minimalist and luxury.

After scouring the rack of beautifully organised designer labels, (all done whilst mid chat with the lovely Joshua), I headed straight for the mirrored table of shiny goods and fell instantly in love with this Amber Sceats Pearl Duo Necklace. Delicate in nature, this gorgeous pieces has a very timeless appeal with its drop pearl design and dainty 18ct gold plated chain. This piece has come into my life at a perfect time, as MBFF starts this evening and I have a new outfit in mind that need some accessorising! I’ll be teaming this statement necklace with my new Tyson And Peppa Pearl Cuff for a little extra glam!

The Monochrome Midi

Chasing Kate by St Frock Heather Skirt, French Connection Sheer Top (similar style here), Jo Mercer Jagger Heels, Swarovski Necklace (similar style here), Fossil Bevel Glitz Bangle, Fossil Rondel Wire Bracelet, Prouds Rose Gold Studs (similar style here).

Some pieces you come across are meant for a special occasion. These said pieces have a certain element, a statement if you will that simply says, yes I’m fabulous! And this full circle, monochrome floral St Frock skirt is one of them.

There’s something so very feminine about the midi length and I find it compliments just about any stature. Don’t believe me? Well, I’m a petite 163cm fashionista, lacking long pins, who still finds herself strutting in this gorgeous length. Embrace the longer hemline and you’ll never look back!

I’m pairing this monochrome print back with a simple, sheer blouse to keep the focus on this gorgeous midi. Of course I cannot resist a little sparkle seen in my favourite metal, rose gold. An understated black stiletto, keeps within the timeless nature of this look, making an otherwise perfect outfit for a dinner date. Bon appétit mon cheri!
