Afternoon Tea, Champagne and Fashion at Fenwick

Last Thursday I was invited to Fenwick Newcastle for an afternoon of champagne, cakes and fashion, how srcummy?  As part of Newcastle Fashion Week, Fenwick turned it's Cafe 21 restaurant into a catwalk and invited the public and press to view the best of it's international designer womenswear from this season. Not a bad way to spend a Thursday afternoon eh?  Thank you to Fenwick for the invitation and the goodie bag and for putting on such a super show.

Have a look at my images taken during the catwalk show below.

Gorgeous colour combinations, so simple yet so effective and what a fabulous blazer.

Such an easy to wear top and I really like this bag too.

This is a perfect holiday outfit.

Again another perfect holiday outfit for evening.

I want this dress!  These are wonderful colours and I just love a shirt dress for daywear.

This is such a great look for day, the mac and jumper are great key pieces for every wardrobe.

Sadly I don't quite have the long legs needed for this, but what a super look this is, very elegant.

What a beautiful print and the silhouette is outstanding.

I hope the sun is shining down as gloriously where you are. I'm about to enjoy a quick break with a cup of peppermint tea in the garden, but first I wanted to post this.

It's a link to an interview I did with Luxe Magazine about Race Day styling tips, along with a photoshoot featuring some blooming, gorgeous dresses.

Enjoy!

I styled the teen-wear shoot for the Metrocentre magazine back in April and I'm absolutely delighted to see it appear as part of the Metromorphosis advertising campaign.  Look at the size of that billboard. My first ad campaign people #veryproud : )

Statement Skirts

I mentioned in yesterday's post that I'm a little taken with statement skirts with white shirts at the minute, and I've found a few more inspirations for this. Not many white shirts in sight, but I really like the casual style tops these skirts have been teamed with, it gives a little more style inspiration don't you think?

Fashion Down Under

Did anyone keep up with Sydney Fashion Week? I was following a lot of the designers and style fashionistas online, I loved the behind the scenes pics, especially from Elin Kling and designer label Zimmerman. Below I've added a few 'wishlist' outfits of mine.

Bec & Bridge with gorgeous shorts suits and prints.

Powerful colours at Oroton. I'm a big fan of shirt-dresses, they're easy to dress up or dress down, the tan accessories create a perfectly laidback look with this one.

Roopa Pemmaraju. I'm loving statement skirts with white shirts at the minute. So easy to wear and it looks so classic. I'm opting for more colourful skirts but the white works perfectly too as it has the detail trimming the hem.

Zimmerman do dresses with an elegant silhouette and edgy print, what a wonderful way to stand out at Ladies Day at the Races?
