Spring Dressed & Jules B

I personally love buying online from UK sites - its easier than it ever has bee. Todays site for review;

Jules B - julesb.co.uk




Great range of dresses - print dresses always do so well every Spring, especially in Australia and a great way to find some unique prints that you wont see someone else wearing is by buying it online from international sites! Some favorites below;





















Floral prints are always big in Springtime but I would suggest to be careful about all the neon colours out this season - not everyone suits them! Find a shade or colour that looks good on you and stick with that OR just go classic.

 

An easy way to update this look - add layers, waterfall jackets / blazers, scarfs or bright accessories and heels to take these dresses from day to night

Picnic Clothing

Picnic clothing very kindly leant clothing to a shoot I did
over the weekend.

They have a few stores, so if you want to check out what is
in stock at the moment, please head in!

Picnic has a 50% off sale at the moment – so make sure you
take advantage of this offer and get some new stuff for a new year :)

Picnic has examples of clothing online but this does NO justice to what’s
actually in store. I went to the Subiaco store and there are so many nice
things! Makes me think of a resort summer. So, so nice! Dresses. Tops, maxi
dresses on sale as well, so check it out!

Another thing I love is their website – and they way they
have done up ‘looks’. A good technique in showing people how to wear their
items, and something a little different!

Love shoes? Love Dresses?

Having recently styled the latest leather collection for
Vangoh shoes I am happy to say this store is nothing short of impressive.
Catering to ladies of all ages in the time I was in the store (less than
20minutes) a girl in her early teens came in to buy some awesome sandals (it is
festival season guys!) and an elderly lady and her friend (think perhaps 60’s
or 70’s) came in to buy heels.

As all heels are not sky rocket high and many shoes are very
functional with the ability to walk around in them all day, it’s no wonder
everyone will find something they like in this store.

Located in Subiaco and owned by husband and wife team Raj
and Vanessa, their customer service is exceptional. Raj is often found ‘hanging
out’ in the store, offering customers chocolates, tea and coffee. I think he
does it simply because he likes to know his clientelle and genuinely does not
pressure you to buy anything, but rather just enjoy their relaxed atmosphere.

I really love the new season collection, and would happy own
any one of these shoes! We did the shoot down at Matilda Bay Restaurant (a big
thankyou to them as well) and used clothing from the fantastic EM clothing
store, located next door. Ladies, if you need an outfit for an event in the
near future, please make time to pick a great pair of shoes and an amazing
Australian designer cocktail dress.

I know I sound like I'm babbling in about how great they are
so they like me :) but in truth, so many people that walked in the store were
really impressed thankful, and would recommend the store to friends. I sent my
own mum there, before I had even been asked to style their leather collection, that’s
how much good feedback I had heard about their store. Cmon people, my own mum.

Anyway, I don’t have photos yet! And part of their website
seems to be lacking pictures so i cant share anything with you at this stage
other than a promise of an amazing advertorial!

Stay tuned, and in the meantime, go check out both Vangoh Shoes and Em Clothing.

Brownlow Medals - the DRESSES aka the important bit!

So I'm sure you’re all dying to know what / who and how the girls
attending the Brownlow medals last night were wearing. I know my bf wants to
know what I thought about them. (Hes into football, Im into fashion)

Here’s a few (not all) and of course, my opinion – take it or leave it :)

Brynne Edelston. This woman needs no explanation, no description and her
dress which come apart halfway down, needs no comment. These pictures are purely
for your entertainment.

This dress? Fail. Nice dress, cute shoes, but a short dress? No, this is
black tie, please stay away from cocktail dresses, especially if you are a WAG.

I don’t know who this is (sorry) Perhaps someone’s mum? She looks a little
older than the average lady, but this dress is nice, classy and by the looks of
it – age appropriate. It doesn’t scream sexy but nor should it.

This dress is interesting, white is a hard colour to pull off, especially for
someone who is pale skinned. I like the detailing, although would like to see
it closer up. Pretty though, so it passes in my books.

This is boring, nice jewellery, ok colour, ok dress but really? So simplistic,
just a bit dull, but not terrible.

This dress is nice, sequinned and sparkly numbers can work really well,
low back as well is sexy but not trashy. I like this one.

This dress is different, bold colour nice cut, I really like this outfit. If
you haven’t been reading up on my previous posts, this hi-low cut is a big
trend on red carpet events like this, so I think she nailed it.

Again white is a hard colour to wear, can go very, very wrong (think weddings
and brides). However classic cut, not too dull, I think this looks classy and
she pulled it off.

I actually am a fan of this dress, excellent colour choice, whoever her
stylist is did well, she has a nice figure, the nude / bronze colour is very on
trend as well as the ruched effect and draping.

Again, good choice, not so bad this year, this dress is a little bit
different, print colourful print,, bordering on being too casual but the empire
line detail steps it up – and her hair is up, pulling this dress off.
Seriously, every now and then bust pout a print dress for an event. It does
wonders.  

Bit puffy and prom dressy but not too over the top that I hate it. Nice colour
and simple design, I don’t mind this dress, it could grow on me.

This is bad. Mega fail. The dress cut does not suit her figure at all, she
looks short and frumpy – black is a pretty boring choice as well. And girl? If you’re
going to the Brownlow’s please get your hair done!

Um..interesting, I'm not sure if this works, and I'm not sure if she’s old
enough to be pulling off the ‘I'm showing an entire thigh’ look either.

This is actually one of my favourite dresses of all time classic, simple
cut, classy and extravagant beading / sequins. Stunning. I wanted to wear this
to the WA Fashion Awards, its so awesome. Such a pretty dress. *drool* The pic next to it is how the hemline looks - it flares our really nicely!

I'm not sure about this. It could work, depending on what the other side
is ...and depending on how cheap that chain looks as well. Gold chain on white
fabric rarely looks very ‘expensive’. So I'm not sure, she’s young and her bag
suits, I assume her shoes do but then, that’s giving her a benefit of the doubt
into it. Not awesome, not bad either.

Seriously? Epic fail, as much as I adore this dress (and don’t get me
wrong I do, Danni Minogue wore it last night on X Factor, and she looked great
in it) but for this kind of event? Way too short, way too casual, I know its an
expensive dress but no, sorry. Shoes are nothing special and no jewellery I can
see either, doesn’t look like she tried too hard.

Rebecca Twigley. Yes he dress is that good she gets named. A custom made
Aurelio Costarella dress, hits 10 out of 10. Classic simple colour, silver
works well, suits her skin, she looks tanned and really pretty, the earrings
are simple, not overdone, the details is GORGEOUS! The corset style bodice, ok
ill stop. But really girls, take note.

As for all the lads, they’re footy players, what do you guys expect?
