On Saturday I had the privilege of spending some time with Celebrity Stylist Gok Wan on his Australian Westfield Tour. Here to launch the new Westfield body shape calculator, and encourage women to explore their personalities through style; Gok took a moment out to chat with me about some of my pressing style questions.

My obvious love of lingerie comes through in this interview, and I was particularly interested to chat with Gok about that topic as he has his own line of shape wear that does larger sizes beautifully. Check it out at Simply Gok Wan.

There were a few other things we chatted about off camera, like our favourite vintage reproduction labels, (he loves Diva and Vivien of Holloway) and even what pomade he uses in his hair, (I recommended Atomic Life). There was so much we could have stayed and talked about, but it was a refreshing moment to chat to a fashion industry insider who is just as passionate as I am about the beauty on the inside being given every opportunity to shine without. Amazing work Gok, keep giving women what we need!

Happy Halloween! – Well almost..

I’m actually on top of my Halloween planning this year and as a result I have THREE, yes count them 3 big Halloween pinup look tutorials for you!  The first of these is my classic Halloween Witch look, shot here with my Some Fancy Ladies™ team.

I wanted to create something classic, simple and easy to follow. A look that you can put together for your own private Halloween party, or perhaps with a little more on, something to take out on the town.

Outfit

In this shot I’m wearing a vintage Rago girdle with stockings by Jonathan Aston and shoes by Bordello.  The hat you can find at any discount store in the costume section. For a great alternative to this vintage, all in one girdle, the Kiss Me Deadly Vargas dress is the perfect solution.

I’m finally back on the wagon with videos and vLogs, so I decided to kick things off with a short introduction to the Some Fancy Ladies™ team.  We’ve just finished a long day of location shooting hence the hysteria, but this gives you an idea of how fancy, funny and mad we all are. I just love these Ladies!

The perfect vintage solution to bad hair days!  Here is a quick and relatively simple new tutorial that will teach you how to create those lovely side sweeps and the right way to wear a snood. Remember this 1940′s hair style from last week’s outfit post?  This is how I did it!

I just had to share this amusing piece that has recently been released here to promote Ita Buttrose’s new book on manners in Australia. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it’s like, poor J.Lo better watch out for her crown!
