LMFF Mimco Trunk Show

by Carly Jacobs
Oh the Mimco show. What a disaster. For me, not for them. I arrived late, sweating and flapping like a one winged bird but because of my lateness I was given what I thought was a prime seat in the second row. Unfortunately this ‘prime seat’ meant that I kept missing the trays of wine that were circulating around the room and at that stage of the afternoon I was in need of some serious self medication.

Daily Style – Purple Tapestry and Nude Platforms

by Carly Jacobs
Yesterday was MENTAL at Smaggle with four epic posts about LMFF. There’s just one more to go and it’s a little one so feel free to ignore it if you’ve had your share of shows this week. Today I’m off to an event in Sydney. I’m literally flying up for the evening and then straight back to Melbourne tonight. My trip does include a hasty catch up with my gorgeous auntie so it’s no Read the rest!

LMFF Menswear Runway

by Carly Jacobs
The LMFF Menswear Runway was by far my favourite show of the season. I don’t know whether it was the excitement of my first show of the year, the rad dancers that bookended each collection or the fact that I was sitting directly opposite Josh Thomas, Alex Perry and Melissa George. I had a major Angel from Home and Away fixation when I was in primary school and I literally started eating Vegemite because I saw Read the rest!

LMFF Runway 6 presented by Frankie Magazine

by Carly Jacobs
After spending an hour or two in the fabulous Westfield Bar where my red wine glass was refilled more times than I can count, I headed to Paris Runway  6. Here’s what went down. Alice McCall I wasn’t the greatest fan of this collection. Bicycle shorts are more universally unflattering than leggings and they were used in every ensemble. I did enjoy their muted colour palette and chunky boots though. Read the rest!

LMFF City Chic Sidewalk Show

by Carly Jacobs
It would be impossible for me to cover every show that is on during fashion week especially the events that are open to the public but I really wanted to cover the City Chic Sidewalk show because I think it’s fantastic that a plus size store was showing this year and I hope they continue to show in the future. Here are some looks that I loved. I really love the way that City Chic has such a youthful vibe Read the rest!

L’Oreal Paris Runway 5 presented by Harper’s Bazaar

by Carly Jacobs
On the Friday night of fashion week I headed to Central Pier with the awesome Harbour Master and her delicious friend for Runway 5. Here’s what went down. Aurello Costarella He (Aurello is not a woman, as the Harbour Master so kindly pointed out to me) revamped the obi-belt into a corset style waist cincher and completely stole my heart with his use of neutrals, blacks and greys. My favourite piece from his c Read the rest!

Daily Style – Off-white wiggle dress and backwards shoes at LMFF.

by Carly Jacobs
Fashion week is over and I’m utterly exhausted. I had this marvelous plan of doing day by day outfit posts so everyone could see what was I wearing everyday during fashion week but my media accreditation pretty much fell all on the same day which means there was really only one official LMFF outfit. What I wore - * Dress from Heart My Closet which is an awesome made to order store on Etsy. I wrote about Read the rest!

Daily Style – A bit of cream drapery and some antique bling…

by Carly Jacobs
Ah lovely ones! I’m back in business. Sorry for the extended absence but I’ve been moving (back) interstate for the last few days. It’s all very tiring. Especially seeing as my fridge is temporarily four flights of stairs away from the kitchen. Ah… first world problems. Today was day two of LMFF and I went to the City Chic Sidewalk show… more on that later as well as the Forever New Read the rest!

LMFF Day 2 – Forever New Sidewalk Show

by Carly Jacobs
My accreditation at LMFF started on day two this year with the Forever New Sidewalk Show at Federation Square. Not a lot of the sidewalk shows get coverage as they are usually presented by major chain store labels with huge advertising budgets but to be honest, unless you’re rolling in cash or are particularly gifted at vintage shopping if you live in Australia it’s likely that a good portion of your wa Read the rest!

The Spirit of the Black Dress – A fantastic LMFF event.

by Carly Jacobs
I am totally and completely gutted that I had to miss my favourite LMFF event, The Spirit of The Black Dress this year because I’m not currently in Melbourne. I’m also a big, horrible, sweaty, spotty ball of feverish jelly so it’s a good thing I also can’t make the fabulous gala event either. Sad face. The Spirit of the Black Dress is a brilliant event that’s been held for the last f Read the rest!
