Goodday Mate!

Sydney Fashion Week officially kicked off yesterday with brother and sister team, Camilla and Marc. I love Camilla and Mark fashion shows because their pieces are so easy to understand with items such as gold chain belts and ripped white jeans. I also loved their use of understated makeup and bedroom hair.

Two of the amazing looks from Camilla & Mark's new line

Tim Gunn! (cont.)

Alright so, Tim Gunn has come and gone from my life, but he definitely made a lasting impression. To everyone who is familiar with his work, I must tell you that he is everything you dream he would be...and more! Yes. He does really use big words. Yes. He is super hilarious. If you have the means, I highly recommend going to see him at a public appearance.

The Apparel, Merchandising, and Design Association (AMDA) at my college just had their annual fashion show, where Mr. Gunn came to be the keynote speaker. He talked about how he got to where he is today and the things he learned along the way. He was fascinating, inspiring, yada yada yada. My only disappointment?? He said "make it work" only once!

Tim Gunn!!

omigod omigod omigod!!! i get to see Tim Gunn tonight! He is like a God in my little fashion world!
more to come later...

Put on your visor; the sun's a shining!

The weather is finally getting warmer! That means, tis the season for my mother to start hassling me about whether or not my "precious little face" is being protected from the sun's harmful rays. Yes, I was the kid who always smelled of sunscreen at school and had to wear $5 visors at the beach, but no more I say! Since I can't apply sunscreen to my face without always getting some in my eyes I've learned to wear hats. Most of the girls I know always complain that they don't look good in hats, but wish they could wear them so I'm here to offer my advice.

For Oval Face Shapes:
Congratulations ladies! You have been genetically blessed to have a face shape that any hat works on. Be daring and try any of the seasons latest trends!

For Round Face Shapes:
Avoid hats with wide, floppy brims! It's best to choose a hat with a high brim and sharp angles, such as a bucket hat.

For Long, Narrow Face Shapes:
Hats with floppy brims work best on this face shape. A fedora or panama style would look amazing!

April Showers...

Bring May flowers! And while I love spring and flowers in bloom, constantly walking in the rain can be a drag. My pant legs get soaked and any shoe I wear seems to be the wrong choice. Go out in flip-flops and my toes freeze; moccasins and my feet are dyed an unnatural brown color; boots, and they soak through, again, freezing my toes. But lately I've noticed a trend that's not only super cute, but also super practical...rain boots! They come in a wide variety of colors and patterns so there's a pair out there to fit everyone's style. And (bonus!) they are ultra-affordable. They're sold in a vast amount of stores, such as Target and Old Navy, so you don't have to search too hard to find a pair you love!
