Running With The Fash Pack....Australian Fashion Week 2010


Another of my absolute fav outfits from Australian Fashion Week.....on the stunning Bel from LoveMore blog. Bel is completely gorgeous (both inside and out) and a super hard worker- she is a nanny for 2 kids in Sydney but also interns with the StyleStalker girls, and I think she said she has a third job as well!





p.s. In case anyone was wondering, Sadaf's (a few posts below this one of Bel) top was handmade for her, and her skirt was from Urban Outfitters. I have put it in the comments section as well :)

In Arnsdorf (whose show was just beautiful- the clothes were completely wearable and the models looked really pretty and happy. Loved it).

Natalia De Martin who launched her own label, The Last Romantic, in 2008.


I think she said the dress was Karen Walker.

Love the details here: her thin mustard-yellow belt and that gorgeous, broad-brimmed hat (a must in Australia pretty much all year round).

Melbourne Street Style...3.1 Phillip Lim

Andie, who is an artist, outside GPO in Melbourne. In 3.1 Phillip Lim dress (she lived in NYC for awhile).

Whenever I describe Australia to people who haven't visited before, I say "Oh, you'll love it- everyone is super friendly and laid-back and you will get invited to barbies and parties even if you don't know anyone". And true to form, the lovely Andie (who I had never met before- I was just wandering around with my camera) invited me to her birthday party the next night! How nice is that?!

Bridal Trial Before & After

Hi Beauties,

I will be doing the makeup at a a wedding in 2 weeks and today the bride-to-be and I did our trial run.

She is not used to wearing any makeup so the whole bridal makeup thing is new, but she knows she wants to look great. Here is the before and after, I think she looked great.


location: MAC Pro in NYC.



Let me know what you think! :-)

FOTD: Keri Hilson = Gorgeousness!


I love this look so much!
She looks flawless and glowy!

Running With The Fash Pack....Australian Fashion Week 2010


The fabulous Sadaf, Fashion Market Editor, Famous magazine (Australia).





p.s. Am back from Italy and had an amazing time. We spent a couple of nights in Florence (had 2 great meals at Ristorante Il Latini and Trattoria Sostanza, as well as some delicious gelati- my jeans are definitely feeling tighter!) and then headed to the beautiful Tuscan countryside where some friends were getting married. The weather was incredible and watching the sun set during the reception was magical (watching the cavorting on the dance floor to "Down Under"- it was an American/Australian wedding- was rather less so!). After the wedding we drove (not a trip for the timid driver!) via Cinque Terre to Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino on the Italian Riveria which was achingly beautiful-exactly like you see in postcards. The air was rich with the scent of jasmine, the water crisp and clear (I had my first ever swim in the Mediterranean), the churches and buildings hugging the cliffs, amazing, and the food, fantastic. We found a small cafe/bar overlooking Santa Margherita and spent each afternoon sipping drinks and feasting on plates of fresh insalata caprese, salami and prosciutto and melon while watching the super-yachts cruising the bay. I would go back in a heartbeat :)

I completely adore this fuschia dress on model Tiah Eckhardt. It hugs in all the correct places and looks amazing with her red hair.

p.s.Tiah has the cutest little 6 month old baby girl!!

Former model turned fashion designer Amber Keating wearing a gorgeous dress from her own collection AmberJules. Having just returned from Santa Margherita Ligure and Portofino in Italy, I could so see this dress working for summer in Europe. Popped over a bikini, with a little pair of flat sandals and a headscarf (I spied a number of Italian women in Santa Margherita wearing one and they looked utterly fabulous) it would be perfect for day, and for night a pair of wedges and some oversized earrings would work beautifully. Just need the plane ticket to get there!




Melbourne Street Street Style....The "Giles" Glasses


Whenever I see someone wearing glasses like these ones, I immediately think of British designer Giles Deacon (incidentally, congrats to Giles on the Emanuel Ungaro appointment).......I think they are just so geeky cool. Although I suspect that if I had been made to wear them in the 1980's when I was growing up, I would simply have refused to leave the house!

I spotted this girl as I was wandering along Chapel Street in Melbourne. She and her boyfriend were lugging an enormous bag between them. It turns out that they were both from Stockholm and had been working in Australia. They were due to return home to Sweden (via Bali) the day after I met them hence the giant bag containing all their belongings! Mmmm a summer spent in Aus followed by a summer in Europe = Bliss :)

XOXO,

The Makeup Show NYC Haul & Review Of My Experience

Hi Beauties!

As promised, I wanted to post the few things that I picked up at the Makeup Show NYC. Since this was my first time participating in the Makeup Show, I was a little overwhelmed with the selections and the amount of people at the show. From what I understand, the show has grown trememndously since last year with a lot more people attending. Congrats to the Powder Group on continued success!!

The vendors at the show included almost everyone from the usual suspects (MAC, Make Up For Ever, Smashbox, Stila, Inglot, Temptu, Kett, Crown Brushes, Eve Pearl, Alcone Co) as well as newer up and coming brands (Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics and others).

I found that the prices of the products were fairly priced or discounted. I think that I'd like to prepare better for the next years show and hold on buying makeup for a few months prior to the show and then clean up. LOL

I did not have chance to attend any of the seminars by the Pro artists. Next year I will also allow time for that.

Without further a do... my haul.

Knockout Matte Polishes in Plaster and Pool.
Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concetrate moisturizer.
Kett Jett Airbrush Compressor and Airgun.
Kett Cosmetics Trial size Airbrush Foundations in the Olive group.
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Airbrush Blush mini set.
Assorted brushes from Crown Brushes.



Here are some of the Fabulous Beauties I met at the Show!



Tanica



If you attended the show, what did you buy?

XOXO,
Awilda
