Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia

Mercedes-Benz Presents Maticevski - Backstage - Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia 2016

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia begins today, which means among many other things, that I have spent the last week or so mentally rifling through my wardrobe, writing off everything I own and slowly panicking that I will literally have nothing to wear. After all I am only attending four out of a potential six days so every outfit needs to be perfect.

In an attempt to fill those gaps in my Fashion Week wardrobe, I took to the web and made a few last minute purchases from a range of Australian designers and brands I admire. Completing each and every look head to toe. So, here is a small edit of the key items that I will be wearing this Fashion Week…

Chloe Drew Small Leather Shoulder Bag. I don’t want to lug a big heavy bag around all day so I will be cutting down my handbag essentials and packing them into into my new Chloe Shoulder Bag. Not only will it be easier to get around with a smaller bag. It’s also the perfect option for day-to-night.

Chanel Ballet Flats. This Fashion Week I’ll be living in my Chanel Ballet flats. I know everyone else will be in heels, but I want to make sure I am comfortable when I’m racing from one show to the next. That I’m not likely to trip over myself at any stage; And they are perfectly paired with every look.

Keepsake The Label Vertigo Skirt. My Keepsake Vertigo Skirt is such a staple in my closet as it can be worn anywhere and quite literally goes with everything. It’s also a little more special than your basic black skirt with its flared panel details and beautiful luxe satin fabric.

I’ll be posting a tight edit of everything you need to know and see from each day, as well as putting together a detailed debrief on each of my own looks, all my favourite shows and beauty trends at the end of the week. For instant updates check out the hashtag #MBFWA and make sure you follow me on Instagram by clicking here.

Bobbi Brown Eye Opening Mascara

Bobbi Brown Eye Opening Mascara

Bobbi Brown Eye Opening Mascara

There’s no denying that a thick set of lashes can be your best accessory. But finding the right mascara can be like shopping for the perfect pair of black skinny jeans. Impossible. It took me years before I found my staple; the Bobbi Brown Everything Mascara. If you’ve ever used it before, you will know it ticks all the boxes and is perfect for everyday. So, when the new Bobbi Brown Eye Opening Mascara landed on my desk promising my most dramatic lashes yet, I was eager to try it…

Needless to say, it didn’t disappoint. From the first sweep you’ll notice your lashes are well coated and instantly lifted. The innovative large brush clings onto each and every lash, visibly pushing them upward when you apply it. The rich, carbon-black formula then works to intensely thicken, curl and lift lashes from root to tip for the ultimate eye opening effect and volume. A few quick coats is all you need for perfect lashes, which resist flaking and smudging for up to eight hours.

If you love Bobbi Brown products or you are looking for a new Mascara, I would recommend you try this asap! To purchase the new Bobbi Brown Eye Opening Mascara, visit the Bobbi Brown website here.
