Dubai Fashion Week:

Saving the best for the last, Manish Malhotra of Studio 8 presented his glamorous Spring/Summer line at the finale of Dubai Fashion Week. Billowy smoke led the way for the models as they walked the sleek black runway to a background of geometric mirrors.
A skirt and bustier combination in shimmering black won audience appreciation with its wine colored trimming and flouncy material.

Bands of embroidered gold ran down the green velvet sherwanis donned by the male models. Worn with black and white patialas and jodhpurs with thin tapering legs, the outfits were accompanied by elaborate neckpieces in gold. Outfits with tri-colored bands were a runway fixture as anarkali salwar kameezes of pink, grey and orange were followed by lehengas in blue, green and teal.

Golden years

Over the extra long weekend, we were treated to the perfect Autumn sunshine here in Melbourne.

A fabulous time had, indulging in cuisine from all corners of the world, the obligatory boutique hoping and a fierce bocce tournament with great company in the park.

Over the weekend, I was also thrilled to be involved in a blogger collaboration (alongside the beautiful Bianca and Jess), for the summer look-book of fabulous Melbourne-based accessory label Sarah Conners. I can't reveal too much just yet, but think bright colours, scorching summer heat and exotic locations.

A huge thank you to the incredible photographer of the day, Lee Oliveira. If you haven't already, do yourselves a favour and check out Lee's street-style blog, a true talent, you won't be disappointed.
