PFF Day Three

Photobucket
Jaime Lee, one of Perth's shining fashion stars, designed the goody bag for day three's runway shows. I luckily saw her amazing RAFW debut earlier this year, have loved her work for a long time.

Malaysian blogging star Kee continued to shine in his kooky outfits. Stay tuned for a full Kee report in the next few days.

Billie from Russh magazines was part of the media sitting front row.

On Tour was the standout of the night. Perforated maxi skirts are now high on my wish list.

Bhalo is an ethically minded Perth label who prove sustainable fashion can be fashion forward and cool. I love the bold yellow maxi skirt.

Poppy Lissiman's prints depicting what I believe to be a Japanese garden really impressed me. Again I want the maxi skirt. I am maxi skirt obsessed right now (maybe because of my still having to wear a knee brace??? Well not maybe, that is definitely the reason!)

Aussie super model Tiah Delaney said she reads my blog which made my night! She was in town to support her hometown friends and to walk at the Wheels & Dolls Baby show.

PFF Day Two

Photobucket
Mel B aka Scary Spice was in town as an invited VIP for Perth Fashion Festival and as such she held a press conference at her hotel. As a teenager of the 90's meeting and being in the same room as a Spice Girl was an amazing opportunity not to be missed, especially as the shoes the Spice Girls popularised in the 90's at the height of their fame are very much back in fashion. Yep I'm talking about platform sneakers and shoes which I'm very much in love with right now. The assembled media were told to ask only one question each and to not ask anything too personal, which for me was ok as all I wanted to know was if she was going to buy or wear platform shoes this time round. She laughingly answered "I have shit loads" from her old Spice Girls days, which makes me really want to rummage through her archived wardrobe to see all the amazing 90's platforms, a girl can dream.

Photobucket
Yeojin Bae was the first show of the night. Held at the majestic museum it was a beautiful setting for a beautiful collection. I have now seen this collection three times on the runway, first at RAFW, secondly at MSFW and now at PFF and each time I have seen something new within the pieces.

Romy Frydman from Style Me Romy and designer Kym Ellery came up to me to ask when I got time to do my hair. We had enjoyed a VIP lunch earlier that day in Subiaco at which I had my usual plain blonde hair, but for the shows I had used my Kevin Murphy Color Bug on my tips and they were impressed.

Photobucket
The second show of the night was Designer Capsule #1. The cute cupcake was a great little front row addition.

Photobucket
The museum had undergone a set change and these beautiful flowers were on display.

The first designer to walk was Little Gracie, a cute whimsical collection of floral prints, pastel colours and vintage inspired silhouettes.

The second designer of the capsule showcase was Lisa Marjanovich whose models were styled with extreme wet look hair wearing the collection made up of nude tones, ruching and asymmetric hems.

Paper Skye was the final designer to show, and was my favourite of the night. See-through sheer maxi dresses, pleated skirts and stripes all in a muted colour palette of white on white.

I wore
Dress Subfusco gift
Leggings ASOS $40
Bag Sporstgirl fringed bag $90
Sandals Melissa Aranha flock jelly sandals $65 from Monk House Design
Necklace Titanium Quartz from a Crystal shop on Murray Street in Perth's CBD for $140

Photobucket
Close up of the Titanium Quartz stone. The crystal shop allows you to choose your stone of choice and then they add the clasp for you to turn it into a necklace for only $10 more. They had cheaper crystals but of course I fell in love with the $130 one. So worth it though.

PFF Day One

Photobucket
Day one of Perth Fashion Festival saw me attending the fancy Myer luncheon at the Perth Convention Centre. There were two runway shows of Myer's SS11/12 collections which included Ellery, Sass & Bide, Karen Walker, Sonia Rykiel and many more of the department stores labels.

Designer and ex-Perth-ite Kym Ellery attended the night with her mum, a lovely touch.

Bonnie rocked her amazing clutch and yellow dress to perfection.

The invite asked for guests to dress evening, so I pulled out all the stops and went for an amazing black and gold gown by City Chic and teamed it with a borrowed black and gold vintage bag and my favourite necklace of all time. I felt my look was a little gothic and very glamourous, people complemented me on my dress all night.

Dress City Chic Night Mistress Dress $229.95
Fringe Kimono City Chic $79.95
Bag Borrowed Emma's vintage bag
Necklace Make Believe gift
