Welcome to day 4 of MBFF Brisbane, where the Brisbane blogger fash pack; Aicha from The Fashion Heist, Yolanda from BNEStyle and I attended the Designer Group Show. My highlights from the runway included the Chuck Bass inspired menswear by Will Valor, the colour blocking 60’s influence of Alexis Dawn and the magnificent and decadent evening gowns by Paul Hunt.

Proving we certainly picked the prime show to attend, we were surrounded by some very fashionable celebrities including Jake Harrison from My Kitchen Rules, Mandy from Fashion One and Napoleon Perdis himself. Feeling a little bit starstruck, I wasted no time snapping some quick pics, paparazzi style.

This week it’s Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival in Brisbane and last night I had the luxury of attending the Myer Spring Summer Fashion Show as a VIP, courtesy of Deakin Estate. With our VIP passes, the boyfie, who was my chaperon/photographer/handbag holder and I were invited to relax in the VIP lounge prior to the show. We passed time by mingling with Brisbane fashionistas and were treated to a glass or two of the delicious Azahara Sparkling… definitely as glamourous as it sounds!

For such a special occasion, Cinderella certainly needed THE dress and the dress for me was a Jessica Tovey piece. A structured, sleeved mini dress, with a box pleated skirt revamped the classic LBD into an edgier model. Channelling a combination of Classic Luxe and Monochrome, I styled the bold LBD with monochromatic heels and accessories and a stylish, plastic clutch. Simple in execution but simply on trend!

Playsuit by day…and night

When it comes to daily style, I am a big time visual organiser…. simply meaning I spend countless hours outfit prepping and creating mood boards for my soon to be purchases. The positive of this hyper-organised behaviour is that I get to experiment with the versatility of a piece, and being a uni student on a strict budget, versatility for me is priority. If you follow my Polyvore activities, you will notice my obsession with playsuits as a spring/summer staple. While cute and girly in nature, they serve many purposes being highly practical to wear and weather appropriate for the hot summers QLD fashionistas experience. If that wasn’t enough reason to win you over, playsuits are also highly versatile pieces doubling as day and night looks. I am currently loving the selection of playsuits in Motel’s SS 13/14 collection. From bold graphic prints to neon block colours, Motel have a playsuit to suit the style of any fashionista.

In the day..

Motel Hoppy Playsuit, Lipstick Fishermann Sandals, Lovely Bird Floppy Hat, Karen Walker Super Duper Strength Eyewear, Fossil Marlow Shoulder Bag, Ichu Jewellery Personalised Bangles, Ichu Jewellery Open Diamond Ring.

Graphic print + sandals + a splash of silver + a big floppy hat = the ideal summer loving look! Pack a yummy lunch and some fresh fruit and enjoy a day in the sun before visiting the local vintage/designer markets.

In the night…

Motel Janna Playsuit, Molten Store Future Bright Clutch, Giuseppe Zanotti Alien Bullet Sandals, Sass & Bide Defying Convention Belt, Grace and Scarper Star Ring, Grace and Scarper Heart Ring, Limecrime Centrifuchsia Lipstick, Eylure Katy Perry Sweetie Pie Lashes.

For girls night out why not make a statement with bright neon colour blocking. Combine with an edgy black heel, stacked gold accessories, a bold lip and an espresso martini. Cheers to being young and beautiful…let’s celebrate together in style!
