Sitting down to the finale of the Rachel Zoe Project last night, I felt a tinge of sadness. No longer was I hanging off every word, every scene, every outfit. In between checking my Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, I occasionally glanced up at the screen, yawning on occasion with boredom.<br />
<br />
<br />
Word on the street is this is her last and final season, after Bravo TV cancelled the show due to poor ratings. Has Boho Zoe lost her crown as Queen of Celebrity Styling? Did she peak too soon? Doing too much at once, has she got her merlot painted talons in too many pies? Or does all that narcissism become boring without substance?<br />

RZ hit our screens in 2008 with a splash. She was the girl with the job we all wanted, the wardrobe we envied, the celebrity circle of friends we desired. Like a breath of fresh air, we finally got to see who put together the looks behind all those paparazzi perfect celebrities of the moment - Lindsay, Mischa and of course Nicole. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
In fact, it was RZ's styling that changed our view of Ms Richie, from bubble-gum-smacking, Juicy Couture wearing, smart mouthed side kick of Paris Hilton, into the serious fashionista she is today. Would House of Harlow have been so successful, if the head of the brand was still toting cheap hair extensions and a lycra mini?<br />
<br />
<br />
Over the course of 5 years, we were taken on a journey. As viewers, we were excited to be exposed to celebrity in this manner. Between finding the perfect Oscars outfit for her few select celebrity clients, RZ was also at the centre of the power struggle between her two protégés - Taylor Jacobson and Brad Goreski. We could relate to newcomer Brad in his struggle to fit in and find his way, in turn frustrated at the very threatened Taylor for her mean-girl tendencies. Still, it was enough of a hook to get us watching next season.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pdcRMunzttk/UYMPlMEBPXI/AAAAAAAAAfU/UBL77ef37d0/s1600/rachel+zoe+brad+taylor.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-pdcRMunzttk/UYMPlMEBPXI/AAAAAAAAAfU/UBL77ef37d0/s320/rachel+zoe+brad+taylor.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Season 2 saw Rachel with a more impressive celebrity clientele, and an obvious preference in her attention towards an easily impressionable Goreski. Tensions started to form when long standing support Taylor began being pushed aside, given mere assistant roles back in LA, while RZ and her bespectacled new BFF Brad enjoyed glamorous trips across country to New York and, the 'piece de resistance' of a stylists career, an invitation to the elusive Paris Fashion Week. <br />
<br />
<br />
This is the season where we got to see Brad spread his wings a little, and being given the sole responsibility of styling Anne Hathaway for the Oscars, I wondered if this was the beginning of her 'creating of the monster'? As we all know, Brad later flew the coop, taking clients with him and signed a deal for his own show. In the same breath, a frustrated Taylor realises the battle has been fought and lost, walking away from RZ Inc, much to the surprise of her employers, who are soon to shift the blame back on to her at the beginning of Season 3 (did anyone else feel uncomfortable with RZ's accusation of Taylors supposed 'theft'? Talk about not taking responsibility!)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CPhjs8R7Gl0/UYMPplj3EKI/AAAAAAAAAfc/_tckBc66ijc/s1600/rachel+zoe+and+brad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="219" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CPhjs8R7Gl0/UYMPplj3EKI/AAAAAAAAAfc/_tckBc66ijc/s320/rachel+zoe+and+brad.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Fast forward to an overworked Rachel throughout her pregnancy, and the eventual arrival of cute-as-a-button Skyler. While we finally got to see the 'human' side of Ms Zoe, she also appeared to have lost her appeal somewhat. In between her faux embarrassment of her appearance on a billboard and high pitched 'Oh My God's' (has anyone noticed she's gone up an octave or ten?) RZ looks to be more focussed on her fashion label, and with that, became less interesting to watch. (I mean, how many meetings about fabric samples can one sit through?) <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KOWNVEcXEho/UYMPx2zS9WI/AAAAAAAAAfk/mlTlECKeFLo/s1600/rachel+zoe+skyler.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KOWNVEcXEho/UYMPx2zS9WI/AAAAAAAAAfk/mlTlECKeFLo/s320/rachel+zoe+skyler.jpg" width="213" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Yes, we're happy that RZ is securing her financial future with a successful label (that interestingly enough, has now signed on to department store Myer - due to hit our shores later this year) but without her desperation of hunting down of the perfect dress and the stress of the other personalities clashing behind the scenes, the program seems to have lost its way.<br />
<br />
So as we bid Adieu to the Rachel Zoe Project, I feel like I'm breaking up with that holiday romance. A little sad and it was fun while it lasted, but its time to move on.<br />

<br>
Australian's have a love/hate relationship with Lara Bingle. Correction. Fashionistas love Lara, many others don't get it. <br>
<br>
Unafraid to take a style risk, when this Fashion-Week-darling gets it right, she gets it 'oh so right' and the rest of us follow. We've watched her evolve from that sunny Bondi Beach babe into a fearless trendsetter within a matter of years.<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
Whether it's a singular Sarina Suriano diamante ear cuff, a Dior hairnet or a Balenciaga Halo, she's ahead of her time in the Aussie fashion stakes, often drawing inspiration from what's happening in Paris RIGHT NOW. If Lara debuts the look, chances are, the masses will follow, and several imitations will pop up in chain stores within a matter of weeks. <br>

In 2012, Channel 10's fly-on-the-wall reality show 'Being Lara Bingle' was trashed by the critics but adored by Aussie girls, stalking her looks week after week, with many emulating her outfits within days of screening. Yet we saw a side to Lara that showed more than being just a coat-hanger for designer looks. We grew to know a refreshingly imperfect girl, thrust into the spotlight, suffering regret about her ex, struggling with her weight, throwing hissy fits, marvelling at her fame on occasion and resenting it all in the same day. A candid take on a tabloid favourite, it was a delight to watch.<br>
<br>
As a misunderstood front-row regular, she's worked hard to gain the respect of the average Australian and throughout much scandal, has held her head high, often using the opportunity as a chance to showcase her latest favourite look-of-the-moment. A Fashion PR dream or happy accident? One can only speculate. <br>

<br />
In my defence of the disappearing act, life got busy. I was working crazy hours for Green With Envy and in my precious free time I'd be exhausted (hey, if you were working with all those designer labels, you'd give 120% too!) ... But then a little 'happy accident' occurred and here I am almost 9 months later, on the eve of my first child's arrival into the world (I use the term 'eve' loosely - I'm due tomorrow but I swear she's staying in there forever, enjoying the in-room dining and dark ambient lighting - all she needs is WIFI and day spa access and she'll never leave).<br />
<br />
For everyone following me on Instagram and Twitter, you know I've still been posting (just in 140 characters or less!) but I found myself missing what I love - writing (not just in status updates) - about fashion/beauty/celebs. Now I guess I'll be adding to that list of topics with the odd 'yummy mummy' post, but don't expect some condescending picture-perfect-Mum point of view - in all honesty I've struggled with pregnancy. Maintaining glamour and ones self esteem is tough when you're feeling nauseous, bitchy, have acquired an extra chin and no longer fit into your designer duds.<br />
<br />
Having said that, I want to thank everyone for their support and encouragement with bringing Liberty Harlow back - your kind words have meant the world to me. If you have any suggestions or questions, please don't hesitate to drop me a line!<br />
<br />
Love x

You can’t avoid it, it’s happening to you as we speak – but we can sure as hell look our best while we’re at it.<br /><br />Once we leave our 20’s, all those late nights, partying and stress finally catch up and create lines you never noticed before. Furrows in the brow that don’t snap back after you’ve stopped frowning, lips that lose their plump freshness and skin lacks lustre.<br /><br />For me, doing a little bit can go a long way and this means embracing the idea of Botox and fillers such as Juvederm. Scared of the thought of needles? Botox doesn’t feel any worse than a mosquito bite and Juvederm has advanced so that it contains a small dose of lidocaine, a local anesthetic which makes it a relatively comfortable procedure.<br /><br />After years of trial and error, I’m happy to say that I’ve found an absolute artist when it comes to the application of these types of products. A perfectionist who has trained for years in the industry. Katrina Bonham RN works from clinics in Melbourne’s CBD and Richmond and is available for appointments on 0414589998. If you have any queries, feel free to email her directly at katrinabonham@gmail.com – she’s absolutely lovely and will put your mind at ease.<br /><br />So now my secret weapon can become yours too!liberty harlowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13001408129945555980noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1066191888595973686.post-89407410330422634762011-03-22T03:00:00.000-07:002011-03-22T05:01:36.458-07:00These are a few of my favourite things ...<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JsVMT5O9260/TYh8fksRXMI/AAAAAAAAAdY/61OshfM4_7E/s1600/rock%2Bon.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586852219620252866" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JsVMT5O9260/TYh8fksRXMI/AAAAAAAAAdY/61OshfM4_7E/s400/rock%2Bon.png" /></a><br />I often get asked what about the cosmetics or skin care I use, which hair extensions I like, where to get the best spray tan or even the best clinic for botox, so over the next few weeks I'm going to share it all with you.<br /><br />Everyone needs a BFFN (best friend for now) like me to make these kind of recommendations and after years of trial and error, I've narrowed it down to the very best.<br /><br />Get excited ladies! xxliberty harlowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13001408129945555980noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1066191888595973686.post-81338371104712637122011-03-12T22:46:00.000-08:002011-03-12T23:22:44.866-08:00Blake Lively sizzles for Chanel Mademoiselle<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gwLZa0fSQPE/TXxtngTU5zI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/cM_Yr9iFZ5M/s1600/chanel%2B3.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 261px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583458163485894450" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gwLZa0fSQPE/TXxtngTU5zI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/cM_Yr9iFZ5M/s400/chanel%2B3.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Photographed by living fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld, Miss Gossip girl herself - Blake Lively looks absolutely breathtaking as the new muse for Chanel.<br /><br />However after last weeks little stunt pre-fashion week (Blake refused to appear at the show, claiming she thought it was tacky that celebrities attended these events), critics are slamming the shoot, stating she isnt a 'Chanel girl' and her look is too commercial.<br /><br />Check out the full campaign and accompanying film for the Mademoiselle bag line here, plus some behind-the-scenes takes.

Actors, designers, footballers & socialites mingled in the foyer, anxiously awaiting not only the new season that fashion powerhouse MYER had to offer, but also the return of golden girl Jennifer Hawkins to the catwalk, after a short disruption as the face of the company.<br /><br />The likes of Lillian Frank, Leona Edmiston, Tottie Goldsmith, Wayne Cooper, footballer Matthew Richardson, Brynne Gordon (in a killer pair of Emporio Armani shoes), Geoffrey Edelsten, Rebecca & Chris Judd and Charlotte Dawson sat front row as actor Vince Colossimo introduced the collections. Standing before a dramatic scene, the runway was fashioned to look like a hidden inner city alleyway. <br /><br />Jennifer opened the show for Arthur Galan AG, in a sizzling red strapless side frill belted gown and JLH for Siren tan suede pumps, while Jess Hart wore a long leather dress with sheer back, also with a Siren shoe. <br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/w6XEsbKtCQ0?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe><br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/d2CDqC-28DE?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe><br /><br />Great to see flame haired model Tiah Erkhardt walking the runway in this show - I just love her and she brings a little something different, don't you think? <br /><br />Jess Hart walked with a simmering sensuality for Wayne by Wayne Cooper, and I love this vid as you can see Wayne sitting in the front row, admiring his work. Jess is wearing a black beaded shoulder dress with Siren shearling ankle boots.<br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/H-ep0FNNt9A?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe><br /><br />Jennifer appeared in Charlie Brown wearing an animal print bodysuit, faux fur vest, Princess Charlotte jewellery and one of the most interesting accessories of the evening, a lace eye mask. Watch Jen rock this look for Charlie Brown.<br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/W-oYmyoE4Wc?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe><br /><br />In my opinion, one of the standout collections of the evening was Simona. Showing metallics in bronze, gold and silver, the upcoming season is simply inspirational, with on-trend floor-length full skirts swinging as models walked. Cant wait to get my hands on this range! <br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Kd5UXbNUltg?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe><br /><br />And of course, all good things must come to an end, with a sizzling finale paired back to the sounds of Portishead - absolutely magical. <br /><br /><iframe width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hAaBoBQbSug?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe><br /><br />Big love goes out to Kate Keane Publicity & Events for the invitation.

With Christmas, New Year and then the flooding up in my ex-hometown of Brisbane, I felt a little uninspired. However the tree is down, the hangover has settled and Brisvegas is on the mend, so here's my latest story for Australian Fashion Guide to cheer everyone up a little. I love reading all your comments, so dont be shy!<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.australianfashionguide.com.au/fashion/women/fashion/bag-habits">http://www.australianfashionguide.com.au/fashion/women/fashion/bag-habits</a><br /><br />Having the right bag can make or break an outfit. Forget spending hours matching your wardrobe for that perfect look, carrying an out-of-place rucksack (or heaven forbid, a nasty knock-off) will have the critics giggling into their Gucci Clutch.<br /><br />When it’s time for a lunchtime caffeine fix with the girls, you’ll need a carry-all to hold the days necessities, as well as working back with whatever you threw on that morning. The Gucci ‘New Jackie’ is just that bag, in the perfect muted shade of chalk, with detachable and adjustable straps, this hand stitched gem shows tassles and bamboo detail that you’ve come to expect from Gucci. At a cool $24,900, you may want to just order the coffee & skip the cake.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vqhZZ-yy61Q/TXsikFZrNXI/AAAAAAAAAY4/Paqu4uNpXlQ/s1600/bag%2Bgucci.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 250px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 258px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583094166376363378" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vqhZZ-yy61Q/TXsikFZrNXI/AAAAAAAAAY4/Paqu4uNpXlQ/s400/bag%2Bgucci.jpg" /></a>The perfect dinner date entails good food, good wine, good company, and great style. Fashion favourites Hermes never fail to impress with a tough twist on an old classic, the Medor Clutch, In chocolate calfskin with gold hardware, this is a simple evening clutch that you’ll both admire as it adorns the table, and what a great conversation starter! $4500 available at Hermes. <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HKLGqWJOsS8/TXsiu52U_NI/AAAAAAAAAZA/iizv2T-be1A/s1600/bag%2Bhermes.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 232px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583094352253877458" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HKLGqWJOsS8/TXsiu52U_NI/AAAAAAAAAZA/iizv2T-be1A/s400/bag%2Bhermes.jpg" /></a>Summer is here and it’s time to take advantage of those sun-soaked afternoons by hitting the beach. Piece together the perfect warm-weather outfit by adding this Halston Heritage Tote in Metallic Gold. In sprayed cotton, this sand friendly bag will set you back $450 from Net-a-Porter and is a fabulous & long lasting holiday investment piece.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J8YkdQyhI9Y/TXsi3eizatI/AAAAAAAAAZI/XUaC2g3Llfw/s1600/bag%2Bhalston.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 244px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 250px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583094499543050962" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J8YkdQyhI9Y/TXsi3eizatI/AAAAAAAAAZI/XUaC2g3Llfw/s400/bag%2Bhalston.jpg" /></a>For a night out on the town, you need to step up the style stakes to stand out from the crowd – which is why the Carlos Falchi Matte Python Clutch is the only bag you’ll be reaching for. In look-at-me citrus orange, this exotic piece is made of bleached & waxed python skin & is perfect to carry all your big night essentials – money, keys, phone & makeup, plus a small knit should the weather turn. This is the bag of the season & surprisingly will work with most colours.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TUCq7qHrgfI/AAAAAAAAAXM/_kdWiikPTL4/s1600/it%2Bbag%2B1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 247px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566637081325437426" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TUCq7qHrgfI/AAAAAAAAAXM/_kdWiikPTL4/s400/it%2Bbag%2B1.jpg" /></a><br />The invite arrives for the black tie event of the social season & you know this means precision styling. For the finishing touch that will take your look straight to the social pages, be seen holding this dreamy kaleidoscope inspired minaudiere by Matthew Williamson for Bvlgari. $2790 for a piece you’ll pull out time and time again.<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-icLf-dJUOYg/TXsjCaMVDeI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/orGbg-rZhhA/s1600/bag%2Bbvlgari.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 225px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 182px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583094687353605602" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-icLf-dJUOYg/TXsjCaMVDeI/AAAAAAAAAZQ/orGbg-rZhhA/s400/bag%2Bbvlgari.jpg" /></a>liberty harlowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13001408129945555980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1066191888595973686.post-62487083507808225302010-12-20T03:52:00.000-08:002011-03-11T23:53:40.262-08:00The Weekend Away - my latest article for Australian Fashion GuideClick here to read my latest article for Australian Fashion Guide! xoxox<br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://www.australianfashionguide.com.au/women/women/fashion-shows/the-weekend-away-your-luggage-for-that-special-weekend-away">The Weekend Away - Fashion & Beauty, Fashion Designers, News & People - Fashion Directory - Australian Fashion Guide</a></div><div></div><div></div><br />You get the call last minute. A weekend away with the girls and you need to be packed by this evening in order to make the flight. Don't panic, AFG has you covered. Simply follow this fool proof guide to packing for that ‘surprise trip-out-of-town’, and you'll never have reason to stress again.<br /><br />The first item on the agenda is taking the right bag. Forget lugging an oversized suitcase through Tullamarine, that’s so 2005. These days it’s all about taking carry-on luggage, so you can quickly skip off to your destination as soon as you hit the tarmac. The Samsonite Carrylite Wheeled Duffle in black is perfect. It is large enough to fit a weekend of necessities and small enough to fit in the overhead compartment. It has even been approved as carry-on luggage by Samsonite.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-veI8PzasbeM/TXslQL5IUTI/AAAAAAAAAZY/hw707kipAMQ/s1600/blog%2Bsamson.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 208px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 259px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583097123056406834" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-veI8PzasbeM/TXslQL5IUTI/AAAAAAAAAZY/hw707kipAMQ/s400/blog%2Bsamson.jpg" /></a><br />Shortly after you check into your hotel, it's off to the latest tapas bar for a light dinner and a few cocktails. Work all dress codes in Camilla & Marc's interpretation of this seasons jumpsuit, the "Harmonia" in navy blue silk.

What better way to spend the day than by hitting up the markets and doing a spot of shopping, and we all know this means wearing something comfortable. In the softest cotton chambray, and cheeky peek-a-boo cut out at the back, select the “Romantic” jumpsuit by Aussie style favourites Sass & Bide $350 complete this outfit with a pair of Tony Bianco ‘Spencer’ flat sandals. As we all know, nothing ruins a shopping expedition faster than a blister!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2bZBD5LBQHY/TXslnitcghI/AAAAAAAAAZo/erO0Su1Yjqk/s1600/blog%2Bsass%2Bbide.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 230px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583097524318405138" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2bZBD5LBQHY/TXslnitcghI/AAAAAAAAAZo/erO0Su1Yjqk/s400/blog%2Bsass%2Bbide.jpg" /></a><br />We all know a weekend away with the girls wouldn’t be complete without hitting up a club for a dance and some mingling with cute boys, so get your flirt on in this super cute Shakuhachi off-the-shoulder wrap dress in the very on-trend blush tone. With black sheer mesh panels for a hint of sauciness, nothing’s sexier than leaving a little something to the imagination!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wcoaFw1YL2U/TXslxNVQj0I/AAAAAAAAAZw/5BxZfaoAI1c/s1600/blog%2Bshaka.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 193px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 233px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583097690378506050" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wcoaFw1YL2U/TXslxNVQj0I/AAAAAAAAAZw/5BxZfaoAI1c/s400/blog%2Bshaka.jpg" /></a><br />Exhausted after a night out? Then the only way to spend your last day in town is to go for a splash down the beach and check out the sights. Go for something a little unexpected on the sand in this Seventh Wonderland 7pm Zip one-piece $265 with bandeau wrapping around the bust and contrasting panels that flatter the hips, this is the sort of piece that could take you from beach to bar with the simple addition of a tube skirt.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TQ_2Fm21MXI/AAAAAAAAAXA/rhxA3iXfz8U/s1600/abc.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 233px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552927441761415538" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TQ_2Fm21MXI/AAAAAAAAAXA/rhxA3iXfz8U/s400/abc.jpg" /></a><br /><br />As the sun starts to set over the sparkling Pacific Ocean, it’s time to cover up, and who better to assist than the Caftan Queen, Camilla. The Waterfall Off-the-shoulder rouched caftan, in silk crepe with Swarovski crystals is ideal. This loose fitting floaty piece is exactly what you want on your salty skin after swimming all day.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YBo_ZsoQ4Kg/TXsl6Gn8qOI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/SPOTs3X62ok/s1600/blog%2Bcaftan.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 262px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 394px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583097843196668130" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YBo_ZsoQ4Kg/TXsl6Gn8qOI/AAAAAAAAAZ4/SPOTs3X62ok/s400/blog%2Bcaftan.jpg" /></a>liberty harlowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13001408129945555980noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1066191888595973686.post-25053018662945599442010-12-16T22:05:00.000-08:002010-12-16T22:19:48.404-08:00Call me patriotic ....Going through my wardrobe the other day, I noticed a little mini-trend occuring. Stars and Stripes, the Union Jack, you name it - flags and emblems are popping up everywhere! Even furniture brand Domayne have featured them in their 2011 catalogue!<br /><br />And without being aware of it, I too have fallen for this look!<br /><br />It all started with this super hot 'straight out of the 80's' vintage jumper I scored at the Camberwell Markets a few months back. A slightly unhinged lady with a bright pink wig and crazy tutu sold it to me, discounting the price from $75 down to $20 after I scared off a nasty pest who was harrassing women as they shopped. Yes, Liberty Harlow to the rescue! Forget the fashion police, the real-deal cops were almost called, so with a story like that, this jumper has a cool history ... along with some fierce shoulder pads!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TQr9-BObJCI/AAAAAAAAAW4/tx8S7PPWox0/s1600/america%2Bjumper.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 298px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551528732610208802" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TQr9-BObJCI/AAAAAAAAAW4/tx8S7PPWox0/s400/america%2Bjumper.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Next up is my 'Twinkie Goes to Town' singlet by Sass & Bide. The last one left at the Sass & Bide warehouse sale, I had to stalk a girl around Collingwood Town Hall for a good 20 minutes, waiting for her to discard it, and it was definately worth the hunt. Yes, its too big for me, but I make it work by tying a knot in the back.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TQr9-BifTJI/AAAAAAAAAWw/knX6XY0i92g/s1600/sass%2Bbide%2Btwinkie.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 243px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 305px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551528732694367378" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TQr9-BifTJI/AAAAAAAAAWw/knX6XY0i92g/s400/sass%2Bbide%2Btwinkie.jpg" /></a><br /><br />And then there is my new Union Jack bodysuit from my new favourite store on Chapel, Bronzesnake.<br /><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TQr999hnH4I/AAAAAAAAAWo/pNr0jKohH8c/s1600/bronzesnake%2B2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 182px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 389px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551528731616944002" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TQr999hnH4I/AAAAAAAAAWo/pNr0jKohH8c/s400/bronzesnake%2B2.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Another purchase that was made and snuck into the house. When I pull this one out of the wardrobe in a few days time, it will be to the tune of 'This old thing? I've had it for aaaaaages!'<br /><br />Unless of course 'he' reads this, in which case I'll deny everything!<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Apologies for the crappy iPhone pics ... but this blog couldn't wait!<br /></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div>liberty harlowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13001408129945555980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1066191888595973686.post-50954645721248945342010-12-12T23:50:00.000-08:002010-12-13T00:38:12.008-08:00Bragging Rights<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TQXREpbKBmI/AAAAAAAAAWg/KPTA9aQJob4/s1600/blog%2Bpic%2B1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550071993573443170" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TQXREpbKBmI/AAAAAAAAAWg/KPTA9aQJob4/s400/blog%2Bpic%2B1.jpg" /></a><br /><div>I wanted to share this pic of the very gorgeous and talented Zandra Rhodes and I, taken at the Melbourne Cup last month.

It's funny watching a program the 2nd time around, you become obsessed over the smallest things.<br /><br />Firstly, I love Whitney Port. As a fellow blonde with brown eyes, I often use her for style inspiration. And dont even get me started on her arch-nemisis Olivia Palermo. Does she ever put a perfectly manicured fashion foot wrong? From her Birkin to her Balenciaga, I have to contain a little squeal every time she appears onscreen.<br /><br /><br /><p><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TPymw7vriUI/AAAAAAAAAUA/a0SK9q8iQEU/s1600/olivia%2Bblog.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 252px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547492200615217474" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TPymw7vriUI/AAAAAAAAAUA/a0SK9q8iQEU/s400/olivia%2Bblog.jpg" /></a><br /><br />But fashion aside, its her peepers that have caught my attention. Those big bambi lashes of hers are breathtaking, and when I found out she does her own eye makeup, I couldn't believe it! Even more exciting is the thought I could re-create this look at home, after sourcing an interview from US Glamour Magazine where she swears by Revlon Fantasy Lengths Maximum Wear eyelashes.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TPynld4gfwI/AAAAAAAAAUI/tYnculi2lRY/s1600/lashes%2Bblog.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 307px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 252px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547493103132245762" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TPynld4gfwI/AAAAAAAAAUI/tYnculi2lRY/s400/lashes%2Bblog.JPG" /></a><br />Now, I consider myself a connoisseur when it comes to false lashes for a big night out on the town, but I'm not a fan of messy glue that I always seem to get on the carpet, or worse, my robe. With that thought in mind, I was pleasantly surprised to find these lashes are self adhesive. Like little stick on nails for your eyes, they were easy to apply and held fast all night!<br /><br /><br />I think I've just found my new favourite beauty product! </p><p><br />Revlon Fantasy Lengths Lashes $10, from Kmart, Target and leading pharmacies.</p><p><span style="font-size:78%;">photo courtesy of </span><a href="http://www.revlon.com/"><span style="font-size:78%;">www.revlon.com</span></a></p>liberty harlowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13001408129945555980noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1066191888595973686.post-84681546251911175132010-12-05T23:31:00.000-08:002010-12-05T23:42:05.564-08:00Cuff Stuff<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TPySisxb6NI/AAAAAAAAATw/zWRTnmnIROA/s1600/design%2Baward%2Bcuff.png"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547469965845326034" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TPySisxb6NI/AAAAAAAAATw/zWRTnmnIROA/s400/design%2Baward%2Bcuff.png" /></a><br /><div>Going through my phone the other day, I came across this pic I took as I was sitting backstage at the Design Awards for the Melbourne Cup.

A little bit bondage and a whole lotta rock'n'roll, this is one versatile look that can go from coffee to cocktails. Sienna Miller shocked the critics back in 2006 but in 2010, every girl is trying to get her hands on one. Blake Lively looked ravishing earlier this month in her straight-off-the-catwalk Lanvin and Roberto Cavalli recently showed off his interpretation for Spring 2011, incorporating the new season trend of nude colors, as seen below.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TPMkLHg5EYI/AAAAAAAAASw/xSwPxRHQlyQ/s1600/blake-lively-lanvin-scream-awards.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 349px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544815339637379458" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TPMkLHg5EYI/AAAAAAAAASw/xSwPxRHQlyQ/s400/blake-lively-lanvin-scream-awards.jpg" /></a><br /><br />However, we are more inclined towards Australian label Sass & Bide – who seem to have been showing them for two seasons now – many attached to dresses and tees. ‘The Answer Harness’ made from a combination of crocheted lace and leather with gold stud detailing. In black and ivory (RRP $290). Wear this regal piece of body jewellery over long simple maxi’s and plain scoop neck tee’s or tanks for maximum impact. Remember, this item is the statement piece, so keep the hairstyle & extra bling super simple, or risk looking overdone.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SFtEjhahrtc/TXsnoFg3wOI/AAAAAAAAAaA/1FMhvxXi1BY/s1600/a%2Bsass.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 264px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 350px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583099732684161250" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SFtEjhahrtc/TXsnoFg3wOI/AAAAAAAAAaA/1FMhvxXi1BY/s400/a%2Bsass.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Next up on the hit list is by independent Sydney based brand, Metallic Dreamer. Exclusive in their form, these intricate works of art are hand crafted by the very creative Tanya Arlidge. Think mysterious & somewhat tribal, this brand is so on-trend it had clothing label, Tallulah, use pieces to style out their lookbook. This brand isn’t for the meek – with Tanya describing her collection as less jewellery and more styling/layering tools. The pick of the collection? The ‘Black Ceremony’ harness (RRP $120.00). Picture the perfect mix of black leather, crochet appliqué with dirty silver pyramid stud detail & ostrich feather trim Work them back with bodysuits and form fitting shifts. http://www.metallicdreamer.bigcartel.com<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SqYWJlKbNX0/TXsnykpDa8I/AAAAAAAAAaI/6mXU-6WqM6s/s1600/a%2Bmetallic%2Bdreamer.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 251px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 350px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583099912838671298" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SqYWJlKbNX0/TXsnykpDa8I/AAAAAAAAAaI/6mXU-6WqM6s/s400/a%2Bmetallic%2Bdreamer.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Now you know you’re on to a good thing when the likes of Miranda Kerr, Gwen Stefani, Kate Bosworth, Emma Booth and Megan Gale are wearing their pieces, so look no further than Damselfly. At the helm is Melbourne based Christianna Heideman, with the ‘Mesh Body Chain’ (RRP $189) from her new range "I hate myself for loving you". Ultra sexy and rock inspired, this adornment is an intricate web of silver plated brass based chains and will be available from www.damselfly.com.au from early December, or check out her pop up store - Shop 20-28 Chatham Street, Prahran.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dbRg-PRbMSQ/TXsn8Q4j56I/AAAAAAAAAaQ/0KtBtSBj-Kc/s1600/a%2Bdamselfly.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 271px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583100079333697442" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dbRg-PRbMSQ/TXsn8Q4j56I/AAAAAAAAAaQ/0KtBtSBj-Kc/s400/a%2Bdamselfly.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><strong>More Kaleidescope than Casio (Digital Print Dresses)</strong><br /><br />Digital print dresses are a breath of fresh air for Fashionistas in a sea of played out Boho and overdone Retro. Finally, something that hasn’t been done to death and it seems that the fashion savvy are embracing the look with gusto.<br /><br />Josh Goot pioneered this look here in Australia for his Spring Summer collection in 2008, using a more neutral colour palette, as if to be testing the buying public. These days he’s confidently made a bigger commitment in his collection to Digi prints – using brighter, almost fluoro tones, his fabrics are like a dream of acid paint swirls and lightening strikes that make for a bold statement. Of his latest collection, the pick has to be the Mirrored Sleeveless Mini Dress (RRP$945). Keep accessories to a minimum and let this piece speak for itself.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-82VTtElKD_M/TXsoKZ28xdI/AAAAAAAAAaY/w6C7c80YeYs/s1600/a%2Bjosh%2Bgoot.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 250px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 350px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583100322261026258" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-82VTtElKD_M/TXsoKZ28xdI/AAAAAAAAAaY/w6C7c80YeYs/s400/a%2Bjosh%2Bgoot.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Moving on to my love of this Kaleidoscope inspired look is design sensation Dion Lee. Bursting onto the Australian fashion scene only last year, the 24 year old LMFF Design Award finalist presented an impressive and highly anticipated collection showcasing Ultraviolet coloured Rorschach (ink blot) prints, as seen here Dion is certainly the designer to watch, invest in his pieces now to pass down to future generations.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fQNmATApUuE/TXsoWJI35II/AAAAAAAAAag/jvIS7DeexzM/s1600/a%2Bdion%2Blee.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 257px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 350px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583100523931231362" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fQNmATApUuE/TXsoWJI35II/AAAAAAAAAag/jvIS7DeexzM/s400/a%2Bdion%2Blee.jpg" /></a><br /><br />And finally we have the scandalous Sydney based fashion trio ‘Illionaire’ with their interpretation – the ‘Worshipper Frock’ (RRP $638) available in the very wearable tones of peacock emerald and bronze. This dress has very structured tailoring with its layered and folded hemline – work this back with ankle boots and a blazer for a softer look.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a2L7yejiCYA/TXsoiVz9CoI/AAAAAAAAAao/Enlv4TsEM1o/s1600/a%2Billionaire.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 246px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5583100733491579522" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-a2L7yejiCYA/TXsoiVz9CoI/AAAAAAAAAao/Enlv4TsEM1o/s400/a%2Billionaire.jpg" /></a>liberty harlowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13001408129945555980noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1066191888595973686.post-17982128134464808402010-11-25T17:49:00.001-08:002010-11-25T18:31:36.924-08:00Once you go black, you'll never go back<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TO8ZhkZGqFI/AAAAAAAAASo/1DFqVt8a0nI/s1600/tony%2Bbianco%2Bchampagne.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543677730811717714" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wfzIpzXIrwo/TO8ZhkZGqFI/AAAAAAAAASo/1DFqVt8a0nI/s400/tony%2Bbianco%2Bchampagne.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Muchos grazias to Tony Bianco for inviting me to attend their Black Card launch earlier this month.

The only problem? Too many options as I just loved EVERYTHING! From the most devine peep toe stacked heels, to rock n roll inspired handbags and statement making jewellery, Tony Bianco is the perfect 'go-to' for building an outfit! See my pick of the bunch above - the Alexis - which retails at $169.95 and comes in 6 colours!
