The Fireside...Mini Conevention, Melbourne

This girl has it going on! She's all style, especially her hair-cut!
*Tip* A great hair-cut can be all the difference to make or break a style.  Put a little bit of effort into your hair style ladies, it's all apart of the outfit.

Gorgeously unique! You have to wear an outfit like this with confidence...she has that! And that's what makes it work.

Bart Has got great style. I love his signature bow tie. He pretty much always has one on and it's what always makes his outfit his!

These two girls look like they've just stepped off the same runway show. Not only because they look like models, but they just match each other, it's awesome.
I especially love their coats! A classic trench, particularly in a beige or cream, is a must-have in every girls wardrobe.

The boys are bringing in the style. It seems the latest trend is buttoning the shirt all the way to the top...with out a tie. I remember when this look was only seen when dressing up as a nerd/computer geek/school boy/your highschool teacher....now it is stylish! Fashion is awesome like that. Something that was a complete fashion no no, may one day be the latest trend!

This dress is from the opp-shop...can you believe it! Once again, the opp-shop proves to be a winner. Unique treasures can be found if you are willing to rummage through all the...umm...well, not so treasured.

This beautiful girl was a bit camera shy. Ladies...don't be! You're all gorgeous! Especially when you smile! So if someone comes up to you and say 'gee, you look great, can I take your photo?' just chuck on that shinning grin and give them what you got!

These two sisters are all elegance. I'm absolutely loving the little red socks Victoria is wearing...and the lace up shoes! You've got to get into them. They look great with pretty much any outfit.

I've been seeing more and more hats lately...and bennies! It's a great way to give your outfit some instant individuality and style.
This one is gorgeous! Coupled with the oversized coat...she looks like a supermodel!

This gorgeous looking girl definitely catches your eye. The glasses, the hair cut, the bennie.....pretty much everything about this out fit is just awesomely unique.  This may be her mums old jumper and you'd usually say white runners with black stockings is a big no no... but she has pulled this look off wonderfully!
*Tip* Take a risk! After all...it's just clothes!

At Church....Salt Lake City

As you can see Vanessa is a gorgeous example of a young lady. She looks elegant and confident. Her outfit can work for both the office and Church which  is quite versatile. I also  adore her accessories. A dash of color with a red bag and cute floral pumps. High waisted skirt is sticking around ladies. So she will look great for a long time to come with this staple number. You can mix it up with a blouse or just a plain shirt and a thick belt over it and you have a new outfit! I just love key item's that can be worn several different ways.

But we all have days were "we can't find anything to wear" my best tip is to go back to basics that you know 100% work for you. I have several outfits that are put together so when ever I'm having of those days they are my "go to outfits."  Sometimes I think we need to be  reminded to stop obsessing about our personal imperfections and start highlighting the little gifts.

It seems Ashly has thrown this style together so easy. It's relaxed, it's cool and she looks confident! That is what makes this work.

*Tip* Once I was tossing over what to wear (as us ladies often do). I was asking my friends opinion on what outfit she thought looked best, she just looks at me and says 'wear what you feel most comfortable in'. I though about this, then went and put on what I really felt the best in. I thought this was great advice. However, the comfort that I'm talking about here is not the tracky-dack, ugg-boot and baggy T-shirt wearing sort of comfort that should only be seen inside your own household!! I'm talking about the comfort of liking how you look, of wearing something that suits you, that suits your figure, that suits your style and reflects your personality. Of wearing something that emulates the kind of person you are and how you want to be viewed. Yes, of course, don't be afraid to step out of your little small box of what style is if you're feeling your style needs a bit of tweaking. But always make sure you feel comfortable. Go to that bit of extra effort to do your hair a little nicer and put on a little mascara if it makes you feel prettier (and I don't mean that in a shallow way). Just wear that dress that's a little bit different, but you love it and how you look in it. Do you know what I mean!? Be comfortable about how you look! Because comfort equals confidence and confidence with-in ones self, true confidence, is what really makes a person look great!

Although we love a white shirt for church on Sunday... you can jazz it up a little for a fireside. Bring in a little bit of colour or stripes, but don't go over board. You've done well Jordon, looking very suave.

Prints are great! Spots and stripes are definitely going to continue to be in fashion next season. Thumbs up! But, the lace up shoes are what I like most in this combo.

Amanda's Gorgeous!
Although her outfit is all black and white, she's brought in a splash of colour with her scarlet nails and headband. I love the little bow on the headband! Coupling it with the rings of luscious curls, adds the perfect amount of sweet girliness to this otherwise corporate look.

Imogen, a Brisbane YSA, says that when she came to Melbourne she's like...what's with all the black and grey!?... This colourful number is refreshing in amongst the crowd of grey and it so suits her personality, which I was lucky enough to get a small glimpse of at the fireside.
*Tip* Wear some colour. Even if it's just a scarf or some paint on the nails.

The lady in scarlet...there's always something appealing about her.
*Tip* Red looks great on everyone. All skin tones, all hair colours. Don't be afraid to wear it!

I spotted her from across the room. Love this skirt!

Victoria is all elegance. Her hair is always done, her makeup always perfect, her skin without flaw...shes got it all together.
Sometimes your whole look can be ruined if you hair looks a mess, your nails are all chipped with old polish or eyes have sleep stuck in the corners! Great style and an awesome outfit means head to toe.



Beautiful Girls.
Notice, the girl on the left has lengthened her dress by wearing a plain black pencil skirt underneath. Great idea! One to copy!

The head band...love it!
*Tip* accessories!!!..but not too much.
