What you should be wearing this spring racing carnival...Melbourne Cup is only a couple months away and for milliners it is all steam ahead to plan and execute their creations. I have been busy putting together my outfit for the all important Spring Fashions on the Field. This year I have put all my design and sewing skills to the test to produce, what I hope will be an award wining outfit. There are no sneak peeks, I'm afraid you will have to wait until the day before I reveal the finished look. All I can say is I have taken a leaf out of Audrey's book and gone for structured elegance. Kept you guessing I hope!?!<br />
<br />
What I can give you are my tips on how to dress in style this spring racing season...<br />

You can't go wrong with monochrome. Black and white is every<span style="font-size: small;">where </span>this Spring and is very suitable for race wear.<br />

Race wear shouldn't be too reveiling. Skirts at knee length, no bustiers, strapless tops or plunging necklines. It isn't a night club, in fact Ascot in the UK has banded women from wearing strapless or spaghetti strap tops in the Royal Marquee.<br />

Something elegant and sophisticated is the order of the day. Why don't you try some of the new 60's inspired dresses, or a midi skirt with a chiffon blouse? Just make sure you have a cami on underneath.<br />

<br />
If you go to the races you must wear a hat, a flower or headband won't pass muster. It doesn't need to provide shade, it just has to be a knock out!<br />
<br />
I favour hats made of fabric (preferably in the same fabric as your outfit) or raffia this Spring, I tend to find that sinimay hats look quite cheap, especially if the hat is mass produced. If you do tend toward a sinimay hat, try and add a personal touch to customise your look.<br />
<br />
Shoes and bag should match in either colour or texture, as long as it goes with the rest or the look. Jewellery is also a consideration, minimal is best for a fusy outfit and a statement piece for something plainer. Think gold this season as your metal of choice.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you feel armed and ready to embrace spring racing fashion this season! Have a little flutter and maybe you could win $800 like I did last year on a $10 mystery bet!</div>

Audrey HepburnAudrey Hepburn is a legendary style icon. Her relationship with designer Givenchy created some of the most memorable moments on screen. The opening of 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' springs to mind with Audrey in her LBD and diamonds. <br />
<br />
It may surprise you when I say that the costumes I love the most are in 'Paris When it Sizzles'. They were timeless with there classic lines and effortless luxury.<br />
<br />
This season the 60's have had a come back and elements of Givenchy's design's echo throughout many collections. Why not take a leaf out of Audrey's book and give some of this seasons looks a try...<br />

I think we can all agree that Spring is the season for colour. We can pack away the black and the brown and put on something with a bit more livelyness. I breathe a sigh of relief after the abysmal fashion that we experienced over Winter, is it any wonder that most of it still sits on the store shelf. After long shopping trips (I actually don't like shopping that much. I like to get in and out.) coming home with nothing, I concluded that the designers (or buyers, you can choose which) had lost their way.<br />

So it is nice to see that at least for Spring they seem to have gotten back into the groove. But lets face it we live in Australia where sun shines for most of the year, so of course Spring is going to be above and beyond anything they produce for Winter.<br />
<br />
My rant aside as you know I love <a href="http://www.gormanshop.com.au/" target="_blank">Gorman</a> and this Spring looks very promising, fingers crossed that they have some more artist collaborations, the prints last Spring/Summer were amazing.<br />

A little taste of luxury...Recently mens style has seen a resurgence in all things dapper, including the pocket square. Trend setters have been wearing these squares of fancy for a while.<br />
<br />
Pocket squares are taking their place as a fashion staple for the dapper mens suit. Coming in an array of outrageous colours and prints, pocket squares are quite simple to make.<br />
<br />
I'll show you how... All it takes is your fabric of choice, thread, scissors, a needle and a sewing machine. The best pocket squares have a rolled hem, this is easy to achieve once you know how. However some also feature a zig zag stitch in a contrasting coloured thread. So if you aren't confident with your hand sewing you might like to try this option instead.<br />
<br />
<b>Pocket Square with a Rolled Hem</b><br />
<br />
Cut out your chosen fabric in a square 32 x 32cm. Using a matching thread sew a line all the way around with your sewing machine .5cm from the edge. Press with an iron.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFCj3b7l5oeyQdYT6GLwG5hrUn9_C4ZG5BpJi91LzdzZmz4M5FFaA-ubCBDXgi_LKZPUrqD3TDko9K9XDDA62DIn1r7m3628jP_vXUZtyJ4OpIfH2SAaTIarwhe-7GmuzVI3hzaYi6Xwii/s1600/Square+with+edge+stitch.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFCj3b7l5oeyQdYT6GLwG5hrUn9_C4ZG5BpJi91LzdzZmz4M5FFaA-ubCBDXgi_LKZPUrqD3TDko9K9XDDA62DIn1r7m3628jP_vXUZtyJ4OpIfH2SAaTIarwhe-7GmuzVI3hzaYi6Xwii/s320/Square+with+edge+stitch.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Then take your needle and thread (now is time for the hand sewing!) and carefully fold along the stitching line then fold it again, so that it touches the back or wrong side of the fabric. (This is when you could do the <b>zig zag option</b> instead. Just top stitch the fold in the zig zag stitch, or even in a straight stitch if you prefer.) Then stitch the roll down by catching the stitching line to the back of the fabric. Being carefull not to catch too much fabric, so the stitch is invisible.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYbSKErdECkZ9FshNOKKGR7MXcszMuLlc2nxG6psKtR9J50L-APk33akhukCO7QGajVNk0WQcIEFkIg3RMS6AO9pV5J50brSKRij4UEGWo8uymw57o9EHz-UnhPe5gu7SFNt9TzBbPcrtZ/s1600/Pinning+the+corners.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYbSKErdECkZ9FshNOKKGR7MXcszMuLlc2nxG6psKtR9J50L-APk33akhukCO7QGajVNk0WQcIEFkIg3RMS6AO9pV5J50brSKRij4UEGWo8uymw57o9EHz-UnhPe5gu7SFNt9TzBbPcrtZ/s400/Pinning+the+corners.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The corners are a little tricky if you would like a mitred corner. This requires you to fold the corner in and then each side of the fabric so that they meet, as seen in the photograph.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQjLJgmn2zSYxeq7rLx_Y8R8eCAruZ22xQPzJcO7JwXwG-r3_Uho4LbmYFrXb7KqX5M1d6YHI4ozfauw_Gkk0RGWPHAO-LCoYtzZ-gKXlP6x3p-_EDnftnls9dJ-pf_qLwkcl76JgV3UZO/s1600/Mitred+corner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQjLJgmn2zSYxeq7rLx_Y8R8eCAruZ22xQPzJcO7JwXwG-r3_Uho4LbmYFrXb7KqX5M1d6YHI4ozfauw_Gkk0RGWPHAO-LCoYtzZ-gKXlP6x3p-_EDnftnls9dJ-pf_qLwkcl76JgV3UZO/s400/Mitred+corner.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Just sew each edge, do each corner the same and voila! You have a finished pocket square!<br />

It has been a while since I have shown any of my hats, so I thought I would share a couple with you today. It seems that every time I make something new I want to push myself, which isn't such a bad thing. These two pieces were created with specific events in mind. However I had long been toying with using leather and wool together and I have been thrilled the result.<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

This collection titled 'Hedonism: Pleasure is the greatest good' has been inspired by architectural shape and form and the utilitarian minimalism of the 1940's. I wanted to created pieces that were beautiful with hidden depths.<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Architect Frank Gehry was the idea behind the 'Merge' hat. I liked the way his buildings have a fluid movement about them and fold back on themselves.<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

Perhaps a lack of inspiration is the culprit. Summer fashion this year left me cold. However Winter has brought a fresh take on old favourites like the trench coat, with Burberry releasing a range of trenches using latext with great aplomb.<br />

At this years Red Cross Bindaring Sale (for those that haven't heard of it, the Bindaring Sale was started by a group of Red Cross volunteers in a garage on Bindaring road and has grown into a massive annual warehouse fund raiser. Selling old, new and vintage clothing including boutique brands.) I was lucky enough to pick up a Burberry trench coat from the 1990's in almost perfect condition for $70. It has been my Winter staple ever since.<br />
<br />
If you have been reading my blog for a while you are probably aware I am a milliner and a trained pattern maker with the sewing skills to match. These come in handy when you want create something different.<br />
<br />
Latest on my sewing list is making pocket squares for my boyfriend. These small squares of fabric are so easy to make and dress up any suit. Stay tuned and I can show you how simple it is!<br />
<br />
For now here are some more images from the Ricarda parade to wet the appetite...<br />

On a cold Wednesday night Perth's stylish elite were out in force for an evening of fashion at Perth's ultimate style destination, Ricarda. In the surrounds of their Subiaco store, models walked amongst guests as they sipped on champagne and nibbled at bite sizes delicacies.<br />
<br />
This winter's collections were all about celebrating colour and individual style. With an eye for detail Ricarda has pulled together a collection of looks further defining their distinctive style and high place in Perth's fashion scene. The parade featured designs from; Comme Des Garcons, Isabel Marant, Josh Goot, Proenza Schouler, Golden Goose, Zambesi and more.<br />
<br />
It was hard to pick a favourite outfit on the night, they were all so different, oozing edge style. I also couldn't walk past their fabulous home-wares, there are definitely a few items that have caught my eye and I know just where they should go...<br />

</tbody></table>
It was the collapse of my wardrobe rail that signaled I could no longer ignor my fashion weakness. It had gone past something that could be hidden behind closed doors. So I decided to start the year a fresh and this means the dreaded wardrobe clear out. In my case it has been a rather drawn out affair. I started towards the end of last year and I am determined to get the job finished.<br />
<br />
As a former fashion retail sales assistant I freely admit I can be a bit annal when it comes organising my wardrobe. So I can usually find what I am looking for, however when it is full of clutter things get hidden and forgotten.<br />
<br />
It is amazing what treasures you can unearth when you start digging. That dress you wore on your 21st that holds happy memories, but has probably seen better days. The Ra Ra skirt that should be abandoned in a charity bin for someone else to treasure. (Alanna Hill made many of these in the early 2000's and I own two. The last time I wore one was to a 1920's costume party. The other I think I only wore once or twice, a bit of buyers remorse comes attached.) The over sized cardigans, although they can look fantastic on a tall slim model, do nothing for my hour glass figure. Not to mention chunky knit dress, my Zimmerman one was never really a good look for me.<br />
<br />
So I will say goodbye to my wardrobe of yesteryear and hello to space and an uncreased blouse.<br />

Days of Yore is an exquisite jewellery label, specialising in gorgeous
necklaces and bangles and they didn’t disappoint. Love in Tokyo as always used
silk with aplomb and Velvet Sushi had some beautiful light summer dresses.
Overall it was a well put together show by stylist Hannah McGrath and a
thoroughly enjoyable evening. </div>

With Brittany Zajitz's collection I could see some potential, in terms of design and construction. However her colour palate and choice of fabric didn't work for me. Maroon with white is not a good combination. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Unfortunately due to Perth's isolation, unless you can afford to go
overseas for fabric, there just isn't the range or quality available. I
can attest to this, as a former fashion student I found it very frustrating when I couldn't find what I wanted. You were constantly having to compromise and as a result you didn't always end up with the finished product you had in mind. </div>

Common themes were 1960's silhouettes, cowl necks and fringing. Colours went from one extreme to another from the very bright to the earthy. Erin Donnelly's collection was probably my favourite on the night. I didn't like everything, however there were some stand out pieces that I would have loved to add to my wardrobe.</div>

Over all it was an enjoyable night. I had some friends say they enjoyed themselves more than at the parades for the fashion festival.Unfortunately I was suffering from sleep deprivation so I couldn't quite get into the swing of things. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you would like any of the designers details let me know. I would be happy to pass them on to you!</div>

I love to follow what our local designers are doing and try to as much as possible blog about Australian fashion. So it is a joy when a designer asks me to try on a few outfits to use on her facebook pages. <br />
<br />
Last week <a href="http://www.fenellapeacock.com/" target="_blank">Fenella Peacock</a> and I spent an enjoyable afternoon styling looks using her current collection. These were some of the fruits of our labors... (In the interest of full admission, I do work for Fenella Peacock on her Facebook pages.)<br />

Summer is knocking on the door and I for one am reveling in the change of season. I can't wait for those long warm days, when you can kick back and enjoy a glass of wine on a Sunday afternoon. The change in weather also means new wardrobe possibilities present themselves. You no longer need to worry about bringing a jacket on a night out, because chances are your going to wish you had left it at home. Layering is a thing of the past, now is the time for a simple chic polished look.<br />
<br />
I love it because I can wear a cute dress and a bright necklace and look fabulous. No effort required. Well, accept finding the perfect combination.... So in the interest of looking chic and put together, I have created some outfit options. Why not try these on for size...<br />

As many of my readers should know I love Gorman and am a self confessed Goman addict. So it should come as no surprise that I am in love with the capsule collection created in collaboration with artist Rhys Lee.<br />
<br />
I am the proud owner of the gorgeous 'yes! skirt' (pictured wearing above). I love his use of colour, there are just so many outfit combinations to create and I have only just started!<br />
<br />
Other looks that I love from the capsule collection include the 'droplet beaded dress' and 'sugarcube pocket dress'. <br />

Trend alert! Waist-ed long skirts dominated the catwalks at the recent Paris Fashion Week. Go for bright colours and bold prints with pleating or gathering. I like Gorman's new 'systems of space skirt' and 'fruit salad skirt'. Finish off the look with a pair of 60's style round sunglasses, try them a bright colour to add a bit of an edge!<br />

If you have been following my blog then you should know by now that I collect and make hats. I thought I would take this opportunity to share with you a few photo's I took for the lovey ladies at '<a href="http://www.weloveperth.net.au/" target="_blank">We love Perth</a>', as guest blogger of the month of April. As you can probably gather I love dressing up! <br />
<br />
After attending Fashion Talks this month my love of all things vintage has been reignited. I have also been slowly putting together another collection of headpieces, after suffering quite badly of designers block. So if all things go well, you will be seeing some more original creations for my millinery and headpiece label <a href="http://www.banksandbell.net/" target="_blank">Banks & Bell</a>.<br />
<br />
Right now I am gearing up for the Perth Fashion Festival. I can't wait to find out what William St will have to offer this year...<br />

<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Fashion Talks was a dream come true. Ever since I read Charlotte's book '</span><a href="http://hataffair.blogspot.com.au/2010/06/turn-page.html" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Dreaming of Dior</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">', I wanted to know more about her amazing </span><a href="http://www.darnellcollection.com/" target="_blank"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">vintage clothing collection</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> and the woman behind it all...</span></b><br />
<br />
When Charlotte Smith inherited a collection of vintage clothing from her <span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Pennsylvanian</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"> </span></span>Quaker godmother, Doris Darnell, it changed her whole world. "I have a small shop in the Blue Mountains. When the crates arrived they blocked out the sun. It took three months to unpack everything", Charlotte.<br />
<br />
What makes the Darnell Collection so unique, is that every garment has a story, a memory of who wore it, where they wore it, who made it, etc, creating a rich and vibrant social history of how women have changed over time.<br />

Everything in the collection has been donated, accept for pieces bought at auction to add to the story of an exhibition. It is now the largest private vintage clothing collection in Australia and boasts over 5,500 pieces. The collection has pieces from the Victorian era right up to the present day.<br />
<br />
It includes three rare dresses dating from the early 1900's by Lucile. There are only 90 left in exsitence. Lucile designer, Lady Duff Gordon was a survivor of The Titanic and was the first designer to have fashion parades with manequins (live models). By 1922 she employed 300 people, with an in house doctor, dentist, a dining room with meals provided and paid maternity leave.<br />

<br />
A vintage gem on display on the night was a dress by Vionnet. In the 1920's Vionnet pioneered the bias cut, revolutionising fashion by allowing the fabric to fall on the body to create shape, instead of creating the shape with garment its self. Vionnet was concerned about other designers copying her designs. She kept a photographic record of every garment, using mirrors to allow a camera to caputure all sides at once.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Darnell Collection also includes pieces by Dior, Chanel, Gucci, Pucci, Prada and a whole lot more... I could have sat there all night listening to Charlotte talk about the collection. I got the feeling that what she shared just scratched the surface of the many varied stories that this collection has to offer.<br />

I have also covered events <a href="http://www.thestarfish.com.au/heres-lucy-fashion-talks-s2/" target="_blank">S2: Define Yourself</a> and Happy Birthday STYLEAID (which will also be up on the starfish soon).<br />
<br />
All of which has meant I have neglected my blog yet again... noooo... I hang my head in shame...<br />

So this is just a quick update before I get down to the real blogging. ( Just quietly the first night of Fashion Talks was amazing...)<br />

This winter the weather in Perth has been a little wild and woolly for my liking. Although I do love the rain when it's here, sometimes it would be nice if it wasn't quite so windy. Fellow Perthites know what I'm talking about, mini Tornado anyone? A new Irish friend of mine couldn't believe how heavy the rain was and that it really does get cold. Yes it may be 15C, but don't be fooled it is 6C with the wind factor (Perth is in the top 3 windy cities in the world).<br />
<br />
I took these shots at Easter on my cousins farm. It was still quite warm back then, but I knew that when winter really began photo opportunities would be scarce.<br />
<br />
The essential winter item has to be the long wool coat. I'd been searching for unique style of coat for the past 3 years, but to no avail. That is until, against my dislike (my fingers have been burnt) of online shopping I went on ASOS and found the gorgeous green coat above. The Hunter Gumboots are from Love Story on Glyde and the gloves are from Country Road.<br />
<br />
Dedicated readers will have heard repeatedly that I am a Gorman Girl and that is exactly what I'm wearing in Photo 2. A Gorman silk Cami and a skull necklace from Zara Bryson, Claremont.<br />
<br />
The work has been piling up this month with the imminent launch of my 1st capsule collection for Banks & Bell. Not to mention all those little jobs, that always seem to take twice as long as you think they will.<br />
<br />

'Romance Was Born' is possibly one of Australia's most adventurous labels in terms of design. It is easy to see why designers Luke and Anna were offered internships with John Galliano (which incidentally they turned down) and why they have a celebrity cult following including Karen O (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's) Lilly Allen and MIA.<br />
<br />
Saying their latest collection Happy Campers is bright would be putting it mildly. Bursting with neon hues, gorgeous owl designs, digital prints with a tribal quality and pant pocket embellishments only to be attempted by those of slim thigh. The more eccentric items in the collection include a multi-coloured shag pile coat (as above) which could get you mistaken for a member of the Muppets.<br />
<br />
All that aside their designs have detail, structure and a whimsical quality which sets them apart from the pack. Never one to bow to passing fads Luke and Anna have created a niche to call their own. Romance Was Born has certainly lived up to its name. <br />

On Thursday night Ricarda was
the place to be! Perth's glamorous and fashion savvy women were all there to
absorb the trends for this winter. Guests drank French champagne as the models walked among them, allowing them to feel the fabrics and talk about the different garments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Unlike previous winter collections
it was a joy to see bright colours and bold prints interspersed with traditional winter black and soft grays. There were so many different silhouettes that no body shape was left out of the equation. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Each garment was so detailed it was hard to choose a favourite. However, I fell in love with the beautifully draped bright green print dress. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
Labels seen on the night were Damir Doma, Isabel Marant, Maison Martin Margiela, Junya Watanabe, Bernhard Willhelm, Josh Goot and Karla Spetic. I can't wait to go back to have a closer look at Ricarda's many gorgeous items in store.</div>

Two weeks ago I attended S2's Opulent Black High Tea. It had been a few months since I had ventured into the little store of bliss in North Perth. It came as no surprise that it was a lavish affair with gold leaf tea and champagne served in dainty tea cups. There were shots of gazpacho soup, delightful mini cakes and lavender coloured macarons.<br />
<br />
Flowers were in abundance, hanging from the ceiling in glass jars and covering the long central table that dominated the room.<br />
<br />
The event was to launch the new winter collections in store. Along with new national and international labels, S2 have recently started stocking one of my favourite Sydney eye-wear labels, Isson (pictured above). I also loved the white cracked camel toe shoes and the fur caplets that were popular on the night.<br />
<br />
I will definitely be making a return trip to S2. I think those Isson sunglasses are calling to me.... <br />

Well the hard work has paid off, with last Friday as the perfect end to an amazing month. Now the collection for Banks & Bell for Fenella Peacock is out of the way, I am putting together a capsule collection of headpieces with a mixture of beading and embroidery in bright hues.<br />
<br />
I have already started working on my Spring/Summer 2012/13 collection inspired by the film Evil Under the Sun.So stay tuned!<br />
<br />
Thank you everyone for your support, it was a fantastic night!<br />
<br />
All of the above will available soon at Nells Emporium on Glyde Street, Mosman Park.<br />

Wow what a crazy week! For those that may not know I am a budding milliner and I am launching my new label '<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Banks-Bell/263014707108970" target="_blank">Banks & Bell</a>' at the Fenella Peacock parade!<br />
<br />
The parade is this Friday (27th April, 2012) so it's all hands on deck to get my pieces made in time. I finished another piece last night and started working on more. As well as hats I also make headpieces. The parade will feature mainly my headpieces which are beaded by hand. Each bead is stitched on individually, so if a thread should break the whole design won't fall apart! To produce one piece can take up to 3 days depending on the design.<br />
<br />
We had a fitting last week and they looked amazing on the models. I can't wait to see my designs walking down the runway with Fenella Peacock's collections.<br />
<br />
Here is a sneak peek at some of the designs you will see on the catwalk...<br />

Loyal readers I'm sorry for the recent neglect. As I predicted a few weeks ago this past month has been very crazy but also rewarding.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It has been very exciting to see my first post go up as a guest blogger, on local website '<a href="http://www.weloveperth.net.au/" target="_blank">We Love Perth</a>'! Featuring photo's of my vintage hat collection. </div>

I would also like to announce that the name of my new Millinery label is Banks & Bell. I'm currently designing a range of head pieces for Fenella Peacock's up coming parade on the 27th of April.<a href="http://www.trybooking.com/23038" target="_blank"> Just click for further details. </a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am also happy to say that I will be writing in the style section for the new online magazine '<a href="http://www.thestarfish.com.au/" target="_blank">The Star Fish</a>'.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Everything seems to have happened at once, but it keeps me on my toes... </div>

Last Friday night I was lucky enough to attend the VIP event where Ruby Rose announced the new face of enex100. I am happy to say that the lucky winner was makeup artist and hair model Grace Inouel. I had a chat with Grace before the winner was declared. Not only is she gorgeous but she is a genuinely lovely person.<br />

The judges had a hard time choosing a winner, with Ruby Rose being handed the envelope at the last minute. Grace was shocked, shedding tears of joy. Only earlier that day she had been joking with a friend on what she might spend the money on if she won, all the while thinking it wasn't going to happen.<br />
<br />
After meeting her I was in no doubt that Grace should win. I wish her all the best and I'm sure that this will lead to many more exciting opportunities. I can't wait to see what happens next!<br />
