Knuckles' Shopping Spree at Westfield Woden

Today I had the most fabulously fun time and couldn't believe I was actually working.

104.7 recently had a competition whereby 4 lucky winners won a 1K shopping spree at Westfield Woden and Belconnen and got to hang out with radio presenter Knuckles, another Westfield stylist, Ella, and myself.

My role was to help the girls shop with their vouchers to find some awesome Autumn fashion. Oh and shop they did!

So many bags!!


I was just so excited for them all- can you imagine holding a 1K Westfield gift voucher in your hot little hands! I could do some serious shopping as I'm sure you all could too.

I took the girls to Sportsgirl, Cue, Witchery, Country Road, Dotti, Wittner and Lovisa- phew! It was great that they were open to new styles and ideas and bought some pretty spesh items.

Knuckles was really sweet and fun and just how she is on the radio. She even did a little interview with me on Autumn fashion so you may hear me blathering away on Scotty and Nige on Monday morning!

Seriously, what fun. Shopping will never get old. Even if I was vicariously shopping through the competition winners!

Trend Alert- The Hero Pant (Guest post at Stylehunter.com)


For my first article for Stylehunter.com (hurrah!) I wanted to translate a trend that anyone can wear. Yes, anyone.

Cue: the hero pant.

Zimmermann- Rising feather school boy pant- $395.00  http://www.zimmermannwear.com/collections/readytowear/ rising-feather-school-boy-pant.html


ASOS Pants In Diamond Jacquard- $66.58

We saw this trend during Spring/ Summer and it seems it’s here to stay as the weather gets a bit cooler (the temperature has already dropped here in Canberra- distressing!)

The hero pant is essentially any pair of pants that stands out and makes an impact- it is the feature of the outfit.

The beauty of this trend is that by picking a killer pair of pants to be the focus of your ensemble, you can keep it simple everywhere else. It makes dressing a no-brainer!

Over the Summer months we saw the hero pant emerge in light, floaty fabrics and cropped lengths and the pattern was more often than not a pretty floral. As Winter approaches the hemlines will drop, the fabric will be sturdier and we will see some moodier and more opulent prints and fabrics. Think brocade, gothic, embellished, lace, winter florals and cyber prints to name but a few...
