CITY INSPIRATION - NEW YORK CITY

What are your dream destinations my friends?

New York was my number one for a very long time and it lived up to every expectation and more!!

Spent a few days at Long Island with my friend & styling client Marlene - so grateful and thankful!

We hit the River Tanger Head Outlet centre and boy did we hit it hard!! It's a must see my lovelies, has anyone been there?

Had an absolute ball and was pleasantly surprised with what was on offer - Equipment, Joie, Free People, DKNY, Armani, Coach, Kate Spade, Saks Fifth Avenue, Michael Kors and Barneys New York filled with my shoe & fashion heaven on earth - Manolo Blahnik, Chloe, Oscar De La Renta and the list goes on & on. 

Then the day finally came we caught the train into NYC I tell you I was more excited than a kid in a candy store!!

It was so cold however for the first time ever I just didn't feel it - I can't stand the cold I'm a summer baby all the way but I was running on adrenalin & wanted to see as much as possible. 

I was living out every movie and tv show fantasy that I've ever watched, standing in Times Square & seeing my first yellow cab was a surreal moment that I'll never forget!! 

Walking through Central Park where Carrie & The Russian were on a horse driven snow sled - OMG I'm standing where SJP has filmed numerous episodes of SATC - yes I'm a self confessed junkie. 

Then onto the fabulous Hudson Hotel - Phillipe Starcke designed masterpiece. Loved my stay and concierge planned my days out to see as much as possible in 2 days - High line, Meatpackers District, Broadway, Soho and Little Italy. It's so unfortunate but it was impossible to cover all of this amazing city so I will be back.

Massive thank you also to Charlie who showed me the amazing nightlife and the bars of SATC - if you are in NYC please go to Charlie's Bar & Kitchen 🍴 it's a new hot spot according to New York Magazine. 

                      

              


















Hudson Hotel - spectacular!





Charlie's Bar & Kitchen - I'm heading straight to you for this burger!!

                 

Bye NYC I'll miss you till I see you next!! Love you always xxx

INSPIRATION - BRIGHTEN YOUR WARDROBE


Here is some colour inspiration ladies!

We can't control the weather however we can control the way we feel about it.

Brightening our thoughts can really make an impact on our day especially being Fall!

It can be as small as a pop of colour in a handbag / shoes or as big as a gorgeous bold jacket.

Let me know which outfit you like best:

MBFWA - SUBOO - INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK


How is your week going my lovelies?

How exciting is it to be in Sydney this week with all the buzz of Fashion week?

Having the opportunity to be involved even if for a glimpse is so fun & who knows what the future will bring...

Questions ran through my head - what to wear? Previous collections of SUBOO?
Something outrageous like the bloggers? Or something a bit more classic and elegant with a chunky cuff.

Of course I went for the last option, what would you have picked?

Sue's inspiration was Palm Springs iconic scenes & the relaxed effortless attitude to dressing. A fabulous collection in which each piece could be slipped on & off you go.

My stand out moment was a beautiful one shouldered, bright floral printed dress it would make me feel sunny & bright even through grey days like today.

Overall the amazing structure which was meant to replicate the Park Hotel in Palm Springs was such a stunning backdrop for the clothes which speak for themselves!

Here are some of my favourites would love to know your thoughts lovelies!
