Vogue American Express Fashion’s Night Out has to be one of my favourite events of the year. And I can’t believe it is just a hours away! When it comes to navigating your way through the Sydney CBD tonight, preparation is key. That is why I’ve spent the past few days compiling a hit list, which includes runway shows, pop-up bars, beauty treatments, special offers as well as my own personal shopping list!

Consider this a start on your own perfect Vogue American Express Fashion’s Night Out agenda…

David Jones is always my first stop of the evening as they have everything from fashion shows to beauty treatments and an array of exclusive discount offers. This year they will also host the Vogue Health and Wellbeing Zone which will be a hub of activity. David Jones is also the perfect place for endless style inspiration. As you’ll be certain to spot your favourite celebrities, Vogue Editors and fashion influences in-store.

Camilla and Marc Spring 2016 Collection

I can’t believe it has been almost ten years since I first hung a Camilla And Marc dress in my wardrobe. That was when I was 19 years old. And I was selecting the perfect dress for my upcoming birthday celebrations. I wore that same dress on New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Australia Day, as well as any other opportunity I had. Which also includes my job interview at Estee Lauder in Sydney two years later!

Since then I can attach more memories and life events to numerous Camilla and Marc pieces than any other label in my closet. Everything from overseas trips, weddings, new lovers, old flames, graduations, birthdays, break-ups and make-ups. And like a true friend you can always rely on, I love the way each distinct and opulent design makes me feel. Elegant, smart, sophisticated and completely secure.

It only seems fitting that I would look to the Camilla and Marc Spring 2016 Collection when searching for the perfect dress for my upcoming milestone birthday celebration. I didn’t just find one dress. I found three! And not only dresses. I also fell in love with two tops, a skirt and a jacket. All that I just have to have.

Steele Femme Forte Collection

With spring just eight days away, I’ve started to think about a complete season wardrobe overhaul. I always wear a lot of dresses during the warmer months and I’m starting to miss how easy and effortless it is to get myself together of a morning. For that reason I’ve started looking for new season dresses with a hope to finding that one piece that will see me through the next few summer months…

With that mind, my first destination was the beautiful new collection from Steele. If you want instant elegance with a cool-girl vibe, you don’t need to look any further. Featuring budding floral prints, off-the-shoulder sleeves, luxe silk satin, raw hems and light-wash denim pieces. The collection of loose silhouettes and relaxed styles is rather irresistible. Evoking a feeling of timeless romance, while still remaining modern.

The pieces from this collection you need, in order to seamlessly transition from winter to spring. And especially if you too are after an effortless easy dress for the summer season ahead; The Lily Dress in black print. Maude Dress in black . Aria Dress in ash primrose . Farra Wrap Linen Dress in black . Belinda Dress in cherry primrose. As well as the Stellar Skirt in black print.

Aje Terra E Mare Spring Summer Collection

it’s getting late and a hot shower an early night have been on my to-do list for the past few hours… But first I wanted to share the pieces I am currently lusting after from the Aje Terra E Mare Spring Summer Collection…

Known for their breezy silhouettes, delicate embellishments and amazing leather pieces. The new collection features transeasonal staples, which echo an edgy glamour, juxtaposed with feminine chic. Adorned with intricate details on rich fabrics of brocade, knits, metallics, suede, leather and lace. While check prints, nautical styles and denim are key. The collection also includes a fresh take on the Aje signature sequin skirts and logo tees.

There are so many special pieces within this collection, but my favourite would have to be; The Le Fleur Top in navy . Layer One Top in black . Adair Blouse in blue tartan . Sorian Skirt in black and the Bowie Leather Jacket in black. To shop the Aje Terra E Mare Spring Summer Collection visit your nearest Myer store or visit the Aje website here.
