SPEND-LESS SHOES SS17 LAUNCH

"I collect Vogue, Shoes and compliments"

With the upcoming Adelaide Fashion Festival and exclusive VOGUE Weekend, fashion is on the mind. And when you're galavanting at these social fashion events one thing I've had to learn is graciously accepting compliments in a world where we're taught to negate sincere adorations.

But more important than Vogue or compliments are... shoes.

At last count I had 37 pairs of shoes and that was a solid 6 months ago (send help). And Spend-Less Shoes isn't doing anything to help me with my (very normal) personal selection of footwear.

Spend-Less Shoes have officially launched their Spring/Summer 17 collection in conjunction with Party With Lenzo and BeYoung PR. The new range of shoes incorporates styles for your next cocktail night near the beach, Spring Racing Carnivals and extra fashionable Friday nights.

The evening was hosted at Adelaide's newest devoted event space, Chateau Apollo, where Cassie Young invited the foremost Influencers for a fashion shoot challenge! Which blogger would take out the Spend-Less shoe style crown? The brands that contributed to the nights success include Modern Party, Aeon Collective, Little Big Balloon Co, Pickawall, Studio Botanic, Hello Kit Co, Red Hen Gin, Entourage Events and Food by Annabel.

With a boutique 'shoe bar', bloggers were able to try-on multiple styles available in the SS17 to style with pieces available from Couture+Love+Madness to show themselves and their audiences how versatile and modern Spend-Less's new collection is.

Of course my extra self had to frock on with my House of Zhivago sequin dress, paired with the rose gold 'Evie' heel ($49.99) set in NYC (on the bucket list) to pose for the shot below.... that won me tickets to the Paolo Sebastian AFF Runway! <3

The event was one of the most well-thought out and memorable experiences I've ever had the pleasure of attending. A big BIG thank you so Spend-Less Shoes for creating an amazing, affordable and fashionable range of shoes for every girl to wear and Cassie from BeYoung PR for orchestrating such an amazing Influencer event.

RUNWAY AT THE OLD REGENT - PAIGE ROWE AW17 FASHION SHOW

Paige Rowe glamorously presented her AW17 range to a crowd in adoration. The collection contains exclusive prints and floaty garbs in an array of stylish berry and blushes, all items which were made with a versatile size range in mind.

The night was hosted by GlamAdelaide's Kelly Noble whose sparkle was on par with the featured champagne bar.

I was fortunate enough to meet Paige the night prior to the runway show at the Adelaide Fashion Festival Official Program Launch event. With a smile plastered on her face and infectious excitement, Paige is not only a vibrant and delightful person, she's an incredible and passionate designer.

LABELS Style Markets

The LABELS Style Market has been running for nearly two years... and how much can happen in two years? One of my very first blog posts was on the LABELS Style Market back in August of 2015. Let that sink in, two-thousand and fifteen.

And since the early days of the market where I would sell my pre-loved fashions (those of which I still have way too many of), the market has evolved and grown into a flourishing online community and physical market-place that celebrates and encourages local designers and businesses.

The leader behind this seemingly non-stopping force is Katelyn Ellery, who created the Style Market after identifying a gap in quality fashion markets that cater to embracing local South Australian businesses. Katelyn is consistently motivated to promote Adelaide's unstoppable fashion industry, and is one to keep an eye on during her career.

The LABELS Style Market have found their home at Plant 4 Bowden after some soul searching at The Hotel Richmond and The Highway Hotel. Boasting an impressive 60+ stallholders over two levels, the market offers clothes, jewellery, food, art, homewares and more.

The crowning glory of the markets is the runway showcase. The glamorous front row was packed with VIP fashion bloggers, stylists and creative figures with DLSRs and Insta-Stories in hand. Teaming up with brands like Glamourhouse Australia, Diamond Models and Promotions and The Style Capsule, the runway was as interesting as it was fabulous. Check out my shots from the runway below!
