The Diva’s Wardrobe

What happens when 26 Brisbane fashionista’s come together to sell off their pre-loved designer possessions? They form an event like no other, known as The Diva’s Wardrobe. The hostess with the most-amazing nail polish collection, Diva Natalie from Fashionista Events, transformed the Waterloo Hotel bistro area into an impressive fashion showroom, showcasing the individual collections of the fellow fashion A-listers. Stepping inside the room was like stepping through the door of Kansas to Munchkin Land, only that it was filled with a colourful assortment of unique Josh Goot pieces, vintage prints and every silk, satin, sequin and leather fabric you could think of! Am I missing anything…oh yes, not a munchkin in sight, only gorgeous fashionistas!

Upon first hearing about the event, my credit card was out and ready for it’s big day. After all, it’s not every day that one gets to rummage through the personal wardrobes of celebrated fashionistas and celebrity style icons. What other occasion would present the opportunity to stalk through Margaux Parker’s go-to pieces and replicate Liz Golding’s killer style?

Replicating a “rebel without a cause” – no cuffs only jumpsuits, at the Boggo Road Gaol fashion shoot with Brisbane photographer and blogger, BNEstyle. A first time collaboration saw two fashion-fierce bloggers exploring how the multifaceted beauty of this historical gaol could provide the perfect fashion landscape for an edgy styled look.

The stylistic intentions featured the pairing of dark colour palettes seen in the two jumpsuits provided by popular Brisbane-based online store, The Gallery Boutique. Stocking labels from Cameo The Label to Karen Millen, this boutique offers high end designer and affordable pieces in the one e-visit. Instantly we fell in love with the combination of multi textures seen in the teaming of cotton Cameo Deeper Water playsuit with the bomber inspired Cameo Friendly Fires vest. This rock-chick combination was only enhanced by the attitude of Mascotte‘s black, laced, ankle boots; a new seasonal product from the AW 13/14 collection.

While it is important to keep the theme consistent, a little femininity was added to soften the look, seen in the selected Cotton & Co jewellery. Pieces from the Bow Peep collection doubled as both edgy and on trend and feminine, an obvious juxtaposition against the black hues. However, my favourite piece featured a large, curb chain on which hung a filigree heartbeat pendant, otherwise the perfect statement to a simple jumpsuit and blazer combination.

A final thank you goes to all involved in the success of this shoot, namely Cotton & Co, Mascotte, The Gallery Boutique and innovative fellow blogger, Yolanda!

This season I am particularly loving the seasonal splash of berry hues, or as I like to call it, winter’s desert palette. With a richness in colour, berry accessories add vibrance to an ensemble. Style tip: team a berry coloured accessory with a sleek black look: wet look  denim or tights, a neutral coloured comfy knit, black ankle boots and dark shades.
