Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, Australia 2013

This morning, MBFWA organisers ended the months of speculation surrounding the venue and dates of the much anticipated 2013 MBFWA. 

IMG Fashion has confirmed that MBFWA will be brought forward to April 8-12, 2013. This decision has been made after months of consultation and deliberation with designers, media, agents, buyers and trade groups to ensure there are fewer clashes with the international buying season, which saw Josh Goot and Dion Lee cancel their respective shows at this year's MBFWA. 

It has also been confirmed, that after 10 major venues were researched, the 2013 MBFWA will be held at Carriageworks (the former Eveleigh rail yards) in Sydney. The move ensures that the boutique showcase, Premiere will also run for the duration of MBFWA. 

I seriously believe that 2013's MBFWA will be the biggest and best we've seen. Carriageworks is such a terrific venue, and the earlier timing will ensure that all talent can be involved. The move will also allow for enhanced social media and live streaming options, which we all know in this day and age is imperative, and would make my job a hell of a lot easier :)

I am SO excited... Bring on April 2013 I say!!

The Fashion Patriot is definitely being inundated with Kim Kardashian posts... but you've gotta hand it to her, the girl looks good in Aussie labels and it's always amazing to see international celebs supporting Australian designers :) 

Kanye's leading lady was spotted heading to dinner with her sisters in Miami, in an ivory/biege ensemble, top off with a metallic camilla & marc blazer. I think this look is extremely cool, one of my favourite trends is wearing all one colour in different textures and Kimmy has nailed it!

One of my favourite British models, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was out in LA during the week with her mum and some friends. The Transformers' babe looked incredible in a blue stylestalker dress. Rosie has incomparable style, and always looks so well put together. Love this look... Not that I think I would ever be able to get away with it... But hey! A girl can dream, can't she?!

After returning from her trip to Australia, Kim Kardashian was spotted in Miami, shopping with her family. The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star kept things stylish in a black peplum number by Finders Keepers. This is such a good look on Kim, it's simple but really works with what her mumma gave her.  Love.

After her trip to the Land Down Under, Kim Kardashian arrived in Los Angeles in style, wearing head to toe sass & bide. 

Seriously... who looks that chic after a 17+ hour plane ride? Not me, that's for sure!

My 2012 Emmy Picks!

I loooooove Award Season, the fashion hits and misses keep me entertained for hours! The Emmys marked the start of the 2012 Award Season, and it certainly did not disappoint! The red carpet was filled with fashion faux-pas as well as a tonne of deliciousness... Here are my top 10 picks from this year's Emmys (in no particular order)

Girls star, Allison Williams channels her inner glamazon in this emerald gown by Oscar de la Renta 

Revenge is one of my fave shows, and I love this J. Mendel dress on Emily VanCamp!

Jinnfer Goodwin is a dark horse when it comes to the red carpet, she always knocks it out of the ball park and this incredible Monique Lhuillier dress is a perfect example of that. 

January Jones, for me, is generally a bit of a disappointment when it comes to red carpets, but this Zac Posen dress is KILLER! I am just not a huge fan of that hair... But the dress is so sick I can look past the hair...

Oh Elaine Julia Louis-Dreyfus! This Vera Wang dress is everything; the fit, the colour, the sapphire earrings, the train... That's how you do effortless glam everyone, take note!

I am obsessed with this chartreuse colour this season and Julie Bowen works the trend in this show-stopping Monique Lhuillier strapless gown

I'm sorry, but how does a 12 year old become so chic? Kiernan Shipka is always impeccably dress and I am in love with this Zac Posen look! It is just perfect for her and the Emmys.

If you wear this colour, you are more than likely to end up in my top 10 picks, I cannot say no to this colour, and this Monique Lhuillier gown looks phenomenal on Padma Lakshmi; it's simple but speaks volumes!

Like January Jones, Tina Fey is more often than not a red carpet mess, but today was an entirely different story. This Vivienne Westwood dress is simply stunning! I live for that plum colour and it fits her like a glove.... And would you just look at her body?! It's insane! She gets my most improved award for sure!

Jessica Lange is probably the coolest 63 year old on the planet! This J. Mendel dress isn't anything entirely special (except for the fact it's that colour) but Jessica just rocks it! She proves sunnies on the red carpet isn't just for men. Love her!

90210 star, Shenae Grimes was out on Friday night celebrating at EW's Pre-Emmy Party. The 22-year old kept it simple in a black lace dress by Stylestalker. This dress is young and flirty and perfect for Shenae and the event! However, I do wish she wore a coloured lip, I think it would have taken this look to an entirely different place.

Kim Kardashian has officially ditched the monokhrome whilst promoting her weight loss supplement, Quick Trim in Australia. The bootylicious babe flaunted her curves in a dress by Michael Lo Sordo in Melbourne today. This dress is sick! I just gotta have it! I am seriously having a major digital print moment right now.

Spotted...

The Queen of Reality TV, Kim Kardashian is currently Down Under promoting weight-loss supplement, Quick Trim. The brunette bombshell was spotted out and about in Melbourne killing it in a Josh Goot ensemble. 

I have to say, I am totally digging Kim's style evolution... she's looking uber chic and sophisticated and this look is no exception! Mind you, it's hard to go wrong in Goot... his latest collection in particular is off the chain!

Modern Family actress, Sarah Hyland was recognised for her work with The Lopez Foundation at the 6th Annual Power of Youth Event this weekend. 

As a kidney disease and transplant survivor, Sarah's role at The Lopez Foundation involves increasing community awareness about kidney disease and organ donation.

She accepted the honour in a gorgeous floral Zimmermann dress. Everything about this look is flawless, the hair and make up are perfection, and I love the bright blue accessories!
