Vince Camuto Launch Party

Hello lovely people! I was so thrilled to be invited to the launch of Vince Camuto's new shop in Highpoint Shopping Centre on Thursday night. In attendance was the who's who of the Melbourne social scene with the gorgeous Rebecca Judd hosting the event. We were greeted with beautiful canapés and mini champagne bottles with pink and white striped straws representing the main corporate colours of this stylish brand. John Camuto, Vince's son was interviewed on the night and explained the history of this family owned brand founded by his father who also started Nine West. This New York based label is so excited to open its glamerous and ever so chic shop in Highpoint Shopping Centre.
After chatting to the gorgeous Brand Manager Melinda (photographed with me below) it was evident the label had carefully considered the fine detail and exceptional quality of every style. Each shoe is made with green memory foam which enables the shoe to perfectly mould around your foot.
Below I have styled some looks based around Vince Camuto shoes and bags. All labels I provided are available from Highpoint.
Happy shopping ladies!!!

Getting ready for Autumn with Sheinside.com

Hello lovely people! As Melburnians are approaching the cooler temperatures that Autumn brings, I thought it would be a good idea to share some ideas on how to dress warm and stylish. Now, Melbourne is such a difficult city to dress for, some days may begin feeling like winter and by 3pm the sun is out. The best way to dress for this 'bipolar' weather is by layering. Layering is the reason why I adore Autumn and winter so much. I feel that through layering you can add so much more character and an element of surprises to each of your looks.

I have styled some fun layered looks for you below with all products from a very on trend and super affordable online site called Sheinside.com. I love the variety of inidividual and often quirky pieces the site provides. If you are looking for clothes that allow you to express your fun, creative and unique style then visit Sheinside.com

Pop Art & Superheroes

60's Pop Art prints have remained a strong trend again this season. These playful and artistic prints create an effortless statement through bold lettering and geometric designs. I particularly love this trend when incorporated on graphic sweaters. They enable you to add colour to your fall wardrobe. You will also notice superhero/cartoon theme prints being celebrated in tees, shirts and sweaters such as Batman and Bart Simpson. I love this trend and the eye-catching statements it makes, whilst maintaining some novelty to your look.

I bought my 'Pop Art' top below from Topshop who have revelled in this trend.

Get some ideas on how you can add this fun and bold trend to your looks below.
