You'll remember a few weeks ago I did a post (here) on a little shoot Zanita and I worked on together for the Westfield Giveability Store. Here are a few behind the scenes photos taken by Jysla Kay, a wonderful photographer/blogger who came and assisted Zanita during the shoot with her lovely boyfriend. I love seeing the day through someone else's perspective and also how she managed to capture how I carry my shoes around when I don't feel like wearing them anymore, which conveniently leaves both my hands free to tweet, eat chocolate or talk with my hands as I tend to do most of the time. I'm still working on how to do all of the above at the same time though.

So this is what happens when Zanita and I take the day off together. On Monday we teamed up and spent the day creating a mini fashion shoot to help support the Westfield Giveability store - a fashion focused charity created to help raise money for kids living with cerebral palsy. I styled a few looks from the racks of beautiful pieces donated by celebrities such as Kylie Minogue, Rose Byrne, Naomi Watts, Mirando Otto, Bambi Northwood-Blythe, and designers like Sass & Bide, Ksubi, Zimmerman, Alex Perry, Marnie Skillings and Yeojin Bae - just to name a few, which Zanita then photographed me wearing around the city and being a "Girl About Town". The aim was to show you all how beautiful these donated pieces are. Can you spot the Alexander Mcqueen shoes worth $3,500 or the $950 Zimmerman dress from their latest RAFW show? Seriously amazing and all up for grabs next week.All donated items will be available to purchase from the Giveability pop-up stores which open their doors in Sydney at Westfield Bondi Junction from the 19th-24th of July, before moving to Melbourne at Westfield Doncaster from the 26-31st of July. Exclusive pieces will also be auctioned off online at www.westfield.com.au to help make this charity available to everyone and a truly national fundraising initiative. 100% of the proceeds from all sales will go to Cerebral Palsy Alliance and Scope.
It's just amazing to see so many celebrities and designers get behind such a worthy cause and I hope you will too! A special thanks to the girls at Arc Factory PR for letting us take over their office for the afternoon and to Zanita for coming up with this wonderful idea.
