Don't need cash for fashion

I honestly believe that the people with the best fashion are those who don't need money to afford it. 

Grand Designs Australia magazine launch

Last night I was fortunate enough to attend the Grand Design's magazine launch, and launch to their grand design showcase weekend this weekend and the Melbourne exhibition center. It was a beautiful venue overlooking the city on one side and the serene lake on the other. The room was filled with inspiring people and delicious canapes I must admit! I'm looking forward to flicking through the pages of this months magazine and will most likely get some inspiration as well as motivation for my blogging, as well as my VCE folio work. 

This is the outfit I wore to the event

I've been waiting patiently to find the most suitable time to wear this new skirt out I ordered from ASOS and this was the perfect event! The heels I wore were beautiful but horribly painful and I'm contemplating whether I can even wear them again, maybe at outings where standing is at bare minimum.

Prospect 360 fashion media seminar

Last night I signed up for a seminar at the well-known Whitehouse institute of design - where there was a panel of 5 much respected women in the corporate fashion world. I sign up to these things primarily for motivation in what I most love to do and for my passion with design and fashion and it definitely motivated and inspired me to go further and keep persisting. On the panel was the Melbourne fashion blogger Phoebe Montague from the blog 'Lady Melbourne', Kate Gaskin who was a freelance stylist, Kim Wilson who was a fashion journalist for the daily age and Sarah Gale who was a publicist at AMPR public relations company. Each person told their stories which was great to hear from people of all walks of life because it reassured me that not everything comes so easy at all and what you think you may be doing in 10 years is most likely completely different to what you will actually be persuing or working as. I recommend anyone who aspires to be in a certain fashion, art, design or media profession to attent one of Prospect 360's seminars because it is highly valuable. 

Jelly

I'm so jelly of whoever is walking around in these jellies right now. It's making me crave summer! As soon as spring hits I'm racing into Topshop to get approximately 6 pairs of these! They also come in the most amazing minty-blue colour... sugar rush!
