My Playlist Be Like...

Figured it was about time I shared my amazing Spring playlist with the world.

To me a spring playlist has to include, something older, something new, something that always makes you smile, something indie, something unheard of and something dance. Mine always has a little bit of everything and it is all available on iTunes or other download sites so here goes nothing:

1. Stereo Heart - Gym Class Hereos feat. Adam Levine
2. Feel It - Black Eyed Peas
3. Take The Lead (Wanna Ride) - Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
4. Shawty Get Loose - Lil Mama
5. Give Me Everything - Neyo feat. Pitbull & Afrojack
6. This Ain't A Love Song - Scouting For Girls
7. Wonderland - Natalia Kills (New favourite artist this girl is AMAZING)
8. We R In Need Of Musical Revolution - Esthero
9. Hustle - Jamelia
10. Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix) - Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Ministry Of Sound)
11. Jumpstart - These Kids Wear Crowns

32. Take Me Away - Marvin Priest feat. Wynter Gordon
33. Big Bad Wolf - Duck Sauce
34. Shake It - Potbelleez
35. Silver Lining - Slightly Left Of Centre
36. Glorious Ways - Slightly Left Of Centre

Speaking of my playlist those of you who don't know who Slightly Left Of Centre are really should find out. Melbourne based band who have some real potential to make more than just some noise in the Australian music industry. Their sound washes over you like a promise of good things to come, exactly like the smell of spring, making them the perfect addition to EVERYONE'S playlist this season. You should also follow them on Twitter for all their latest music updates :)

If you don't have any of these songs on your playlist get to it people, spring is already here and you need to have a music that makes you wake up smiling every day.

Mercedes-Benz Sydney Fashion Festival 2011

This past weekend I was lucky enough to attend Mercedes-Benz Sydney Fashion Festival. I went with my friend Ellie to the last of the review shows and was wowed by the sheer magnitude of art that walked down the runway. Alex Perry and Josh Goot had beautiful flowing creations that make every girl feel like a princess, Bowie (my all time favourite Australian designer) surprised with an amazing collection that left me wanting more from my idol. Just for my loyal readers i've recorded his runway show for those of you who couldn't be there to see his masterpiece in action!








The theme for this season seems to be unanimous, brights mixed together in an unconventional manner, Tan outfits with signature heels, sequins have reappeared which always makes me happy and also a resounding choice of long flowing dresses which compliment almost every body type. Also the biggest trend hitting the runway was white, every girl should own at least one statement white dress for this season. Camilla and Marc had one interesting piece which showed this off quite well. A pink over-sized top with a yellow balloon skirt, showcasing exactly why this years spring/summer trends will make everyone smile.

Manning Cartell also surprised with a collection of summer prints that make me wish for warmer weather and cocktail parties. Her designs were a mixture of her own staples along with a hint of Alannah Hill in her choice of print. Also pairing brights with statement necklaces and heels making more than one dramatic statement on the runway.

But I must say one of the dresses that in my opinion stole the show was an amazing gown by Rachel Gilbert which was eye catching to say the very least. It was something right out of a fairytale and moved with such ease and grace it left me speechless.

It Makes Me Smile When...

The Strand Arcade throws its annual 'Secret Night Of Shopping'

Unfortunately this year due to injury I couldn't attend but as we speak my amazing friend Laura is there taking photos for me.

Here we have one of the latest designs from Bettina Liano

End Of Runway: Jayson Brundson... personal favourite

Spring/Summer collection for Jayson again...Loving the colour palette this year!

For those of you who aren't VIP's to the Strand Arcade make sure you join up so that next year this could be you attending these events. Just go to www.strandarcade.com.au to sign up.

This night should NEVER be missed during Fashion Festival season. It's cocktails, appetizers and a chance to mingle with the designers of the night.

I personally wish I was there right now but alas Laura gets to do the honours.

When I Grow Up....

Last weekend I went to a friends 21st birthday party.

The theme was 'What I wanted to be when I grew up' and naturally I authentically went as...

A LOLLIPOP LADY!

My costume was often mistaken with a nurse, lawn bowls lady and old person, even though I had my very own stop sign hand crafted from a pinata stick.

Party was almost a success, apart from being broken up by a fight and having to call an ambulance. Then afterward, being the absolute genius that I am, fell over my own feet and am currently stuck in bed suffering from an infected knee and possible fluid in and around the knee cap.

But I soldiered on! Went out clubbing with the boys and ended up in a pizza place with more random boys who were kind enough to pay for both my pizza and my taxi home.

Lesson here???

I am far more gravity-abled in High Heels rather than flats! :)
