Q&A Time.....

What are your dreams/ goals for ADD?
We're overwhelmed by how the Australian market has received Angle Diamond Dot. It's absolutely buoying us on to enter international markets as soon as possible. We have our eyes set on London and are in discussions with a few boutiques. We're also excited to branch our into additional accessory lines over the coming collections... watch this space!


In 3 words describe your own personal style?
Bold, comfortable, eclectic


Answer this sentence, I can't leave the house without...
My Ellie Saab perfume


What has been your most outrageous or expensive fashion purchase to date?
I don't tend to buy expensive designer items, I mix up a lot of Australian designer pieces but I wouldn't say they are outrageous. I bought a vintage Vivienne Westwood one piece at the Portobello Rd markets when I was scraping by in London - that is probably my most extravagant to date.


What is your favourite item in your wardrobe?
My leather jacket. I have many Camilla kaftans from my time at the label and I love to add my jacket for a tomboy, 'touch-chic' spin.


Are you a jeans or dress girl?
I mix it up, if I'm feeling confident I'll be wearing jeans but on my off-days you will always see me in a Camilla maxi... the most comfortable and luxurious piece of clothing you can ever own.


Do you prefer vintage or brand new?
I like to mix new with old. I love to wear my vintage belts and bags with new pieces. I think it adds a personal touch to new trends.


What will you be wearing this winter season?
Skinny jeans with leather jacket and a tee, chunky gold chains and statement rings in gold, green and blue hues.

Alannah Hill Red-Riding fantasy adventure into AW12 Campaign

So I am a Alannah Hill fan, her feminine frocks, frou-frou skirts, lace socks and oh-so-cute cardis draw me in like a kid in a candy store.

After picking up the latest catalogue instore, I would taken on a red-riding hood inspired fantasy adventure, each image getting me more and more excited with dreamy embellishment and luxe fabrications. As I went googling for campaign images, I came across Sharman Says blog who is sharing my same excitment over the newest campaign.

Napoleon launches NEW Nude Bar Collection

 Napoleon Perdis  was instore at David Jones QueensPlaza on Friday 23rd March.
He hosted a Mastrerclass event for 60 fans who go to see first his new Nude Bar range and also learn the best make-up tips for applying makeup.

Napoleon Perdis unveiled the new Nude Bar - a range of nude shades for skin and lips. These products will be on sale at David Jones from 9th April.

My Favourite Tips from the Masterclass:

- White eyeliner to pop the eye- I've heard this before but the Napoleon Alabaster eyeliner really stands out and actually stays on the eye during wear

- Loved Napoleon calling contouring- "Couture Contouring"meaning you must custom contouring to you

- Contour the eye- contour from the end of brow up on temple all the way to hairline. If you're brunette you can meet hairline but if you have light hair stop before otherwise it will look funny.

- Biggest ONE-  When trying something new with your makeup, Keep makeup on for 12minutes to let yourself settle to see if you like a makeup look. This is enough time to know if you do like or you need to get that makeup off quick!

Style at every age

As women we have a fear of getting older. Personally, I do share this fear, I know it sounds vein but I have the fear that when I get old aside from the wrinkles, I have to tone down and simplify my style and what I wear. Watching these videos inspired me that with getting older, style does not fade but develops and who cares what people think, wear whatever the hell you feel like and you'll be so happy and fufilled!

Take the time to watch these videos, after watching them, I truly was inspired and excited to get creative in my wardrobe. ENJOY! xKL
