(Thrifted Jumper, Vintage Skirt, Camilla & Marc Coat) Late Wednesday afternoon I had the pleasure of having my hair styled at Brad Ngata Hair Direction at The Ivy, Sydney for the Cosmopolitan Awards. Little did I know that Brad Ngata of Brad Ngata Hair Direction was the one actually doing my hair and I was overjoyed to finally meet the man I'd heard so much praise about. Brad is usually booked by glossy magazines, advertisers, tv or runway shows so meeting him was an absolute honor. He created this beautiful small plaited bun on the lower back of my head with the rest of my hair swept around and billowing down the right hand side of my face, which suited my dress perfectly. His French-boudoir-inspired salon was absolutely beautiful so despite trying to remain professional I just had to take a few photos for you all. Pink velvet drapes, black and white floral wallpaper, red roses and Swarovski-studded chairs, this romantic interior design was Parisian chic to a whole new level with tea being served in real porcelain tea cups and the staff uniforms designed by Fleur Wood. Amazing delicate details you wouldn't have noticed at a quick glance but always makes all the difference.You can stay up to date with Brad Ngata on Facebook here and visit his website here for more information, contact details and salon locations. Thank you to Brad for having me and prepping me for the wonderful night ahead and to Maxted Thomas PR. Photos of the dress coming next!

(Thrifted Silk Shirt/Top, American Apparel Pants, Asos Boots, Chan Luu Bracelet, Vintage Watch) Lights and whites are getting a big revival in my wardrobe at the moment. White, light pink and brown are on high rotation which is mainly due to my suede ankle boots that go with pretty much everything and the thought of Spring just around the corner. Perhaps it was the Neapolitan Ice cream sitting in my freezer that inspired this colour combination too? Who knows. I was going to wear a pink blazer with this outfit but opted for an unbuttoned silk shirt instead. Less formal and more comfortable.Now off to update the store with hundreds of new vintage items. Currently in the middle of working a 90 hour week and It's been incredibly productive so far.I'm not sure if all of you follow Gary Pepper on Facebook but It's where I update previews of all of my new stock daily. For some reason I don't like posting photos of my stock on my blog (maybe because there's just too much to post) so be sure to become a fan here to stay up to date with my store and to see all of the vintage pieces which arrive weekly. It just ticked over 80,000 fans too so I couldn't be happier! Thank you for everyone who already follows, you are honestly the best. Love to each and every one of you.
