Being a small city, Canberra often misses out on big fashion related events. Melbourne Spring Fashion Week and Sydney has Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, and they are fabulous events, often star studden and full of glamour. So you wouldn't expect Canberra to have anything like this, right? Well not exactly... Canberra now has its own … Continue reading Fashfest 2016

Stepping Back in Time to a Casablanca Ball

September 24, 2016September 25, 20161 Comment

Anyone who knows me knows that I don't shy away from a theme - I'll take any excuse to get dressed up! And I definitely love any period theme, especially because it's super easy to grab something out of my every day wardrobe to wear. Earlier this year I went to the ACT Young Lawyers … Continue reading Stepping Back in Time to a Casablanca Ball

Black Friday

October 18, 2015November 1, 20151 Comment

I bought this dress off eBay for work, and I have since realised it is so versatile. Every woman should have a black work dress that can be worn for other events as well, such as dinners and special events. The thing I love about this dress is that it's a little bit vintage. The … Continue reading Black Friday

Natural Force

I fell in love with a green boho inspired dress on http://www.showpo.com ...It was one of those dresses that looked amazing on the model but I was unsure if it would look nice on me. Sometimes I feel so frumpy when wearing clothes that you have seen on a model... This specific dress had 3/4 … Continue reading Natural Force

I had lots of fun doing my photo shoot in Vintage Barbie's signature outfit. Even though it was freezing cold outside and the wind didn't always agree with my clothing or hair, it was still nice to get out and do a shoot in a dress I have loved since I first saw it. I … Continue reading Step Back in Time: Black and White Barbie Girl

I love going to the beach. The relaxing sound of the waves, the smell of salt in the air, the sand between my toes... even when the temperature is cold, I will still head down to the beach. It makes me feel relaxed and happy. During my recent trip back to hometown to see my … Continue reading Denim, Pink and Sand

I love going to a ball. It's an excuse to dress up really fancy and mingle with other beautifully dressed people. The girls look stunning in their dresses and the guys looks handsome in their suits. Many people will get their hair and makeup done by a professional. And as much as I would like … Continue reading Vintage Barbie Goes to the Ball

Flashback Friday to a different city, different girl. At this point in my life I was sort of lost and trying to figure out my purpose. I stopped enjoying life and just existed. When this photo was taken I was starting to struggle with a lot of aspects in my life and because it happened gradually, I didn’t realise how much it affected me. Fast forward to 2019 and I’m in a much better position mentally, physically, financially, spiritually... but I’m still grateful for the struggles because it’s made me the person I am today. πŸ’« . . . . . #flashbackfriday #theoldme #liveyourbestlife #manifestdreams #movingforward #positivevibes #positivity #goodvibesonly #happiness #lovinglife #walkyourtruepath #success #expectgreatthings #changeyourlife #makeachange #manifesting #gratitude #styleyourmind
