Fashion Weekend Sydney and I LOVE Coco Liberace !

Not sure if it’s the same around the world but In (Sydney), Australia we celebrated Mother’s Day on the 13th of May !

My Mother’s not the one to get showered in gifts ( she has a particular taste ) and this always complicates buying her gifts at special occasions ! So instead I thought, “Hey – For once, I’ve given up working backstage at one of these events – Why not buy mum a ticket to Fashion weekend for mothers Day and a Treat to me as well for working so hard – Two things I love put together SHOPPPING AND FASHION SHOW !!! It was a great night ( complementary Drinks from Tempus Two – Thankyou thankyou !), Mum had a fantastic time and we bought all these goodies !!!!!!!!!

I Love fashion weekend soooooo much, it was almost like “the highlight of May” for me. It’s one of my favourite events EVA because its a unique yet great mix of style, sales, designers, and beauty ! I try to go every time and have even gone to the opening night in Melbourne last year during fashion week – it’s that good ! ( Sydney’s one is by far the greatest one )

It’s got great stalls, and random little labels you’ve probably never heard of, Cute and unique jewellery( I personally wanted to buy everything – ESPECIALLY FROM COCO LIBERACE !), vintage and new seasonal clothing and accessories – all WITH MASSIVE %’s OFF ! – I could go on and on and on but I think I’ll cut it short and say – IT’S GOT IT ALL ( YES EVEN SHOES ) !

So if You haven’t been to Fashion weekend in Sydney, keep an eye on this blog or their actual website (http://www.fashionweekend.com.au/sydney/)for the next time it’s on !

So I wasn’t allowed to take much photo’s of Stalls but I did sneak a few here and there ( and got told off quite a number of times haha )

IMG_0035

Samantha Wills Jewellery – don’t worry the stall wasn’t as small as the photo – There were just too many people at the other parts of the stall so I took advantage and snapped a shot

IMG_0038

Racks and Racks of Clothing !!

IMG_0040

Me and the designers John and Nicolle Ullo from Coco Liberace !
Two of the nicest designers I’ve ever met and the jewellery they have – MY god ! I actually did love and WANT EVERY SINGLE PIECE !

They are definitely one to check out – http://www.cocoliberace.com/ or go to their facebook page –

They also have a stall at Westfield Parramatta(Lvl 3, Westfield Parramatta, Parramatta, NSW 2150) in Sydney and Miranda too !

IMG_0093

I have previously bought little saint bracelet’s from Coco Liberace but this time I went for something a little bit different – Delicate yet edgy !

I love my NEW favourite Accessory !

IMG_0094

(Yes i got distracted during patternmaking for my next collection hahahaha)

 

IMG_0042

Gorgeous genuine Snakeskin Handbags and wallets – So soft !

I literally just wanted to buy and frame not buy and use because they were so delicate and pretty

IMG_0043

My kind of vintage inspired jewellery with little Eiffel Towers, Vintage keys and badges ! It was another one of my favourites !

IMG_0057

And of course the Runway !
p.s I’ll put video’s up soon – PROMISE !

Enjoy my dears ! I best be off – back to patternmaking !
