What's Hot ...

Cocktail rings were hot in the 50s and they are back again. Check out gorgeous pieces on page 86 of the September issue of Vogue Australia or simply Google 'cocktail rings' and take your pick!

Kerr Crazy!

As the new face of David Jones, Miranda Kerr is creating a fashionable frenzy wherever she goes. Miranda was named the new face of the retail giant after fellow Aussie, Megan Gale announced her retirement from the catwalk.

Miranda shot into the international spotlight thanks to her sizzling appearance in last year’s Victoria’s Secret show and later became romantically linked to Hollywood heartthrob Orlando Bloom.

But despite her growing appeal to the paparazzi, this girl has made it in her own right for being Australia’s quintessential girl-next-door, with just the right amount of cheeky sex appeal thrown in to drive the boys’ wild.

The gorgeous girl from Gunnedah walked the boards for DJ’s with her signature cheeky style, opening the show in a stunning hot pink one-piece swimsuit by Jets which was styled with an elaborate feathered head piece, reminiscent of a Venetian carnivale.

Kerr closed the show in this show-stopper silver beaded Collette Dinnigan number – proving that every girl loves a little bling!

We’re not afraid to admit it – we love Miranda!

A Style Palace Tribute to the King

At Style Palace we believe that fashion is not only about what we wear but also about music - we love music and we love The King - and of course we're talking about the 'King of Rock 'n Roll' - Elvis Presley. Today is 31 years since Elvis died. Elvis Presley is a legend and a style icon to many and will always have a huge following the world over. Did you know that there are at least 85,000 Elvis impersonators in the world compared to only 170 in 1977 when Elvis died.

Elvis lives on in daughter Lisa Marie and granddaughter, Riley Keough, who in fact is a sought after model and made her modelling debut in 2004 for the Dolce & Gabbana runway show. Riley was also the face of Christian Dior's perfume, Miss Dior Cherie in 2005. See ... fashion and music do go hand-in-hand!

"Til we meet you again, may God bless you. Adios.”

Is it Getting Hot in Here?

Get ready to turn the temperature up a notch because Flamingo Sands’ summer 08/09 collection, A Wonderful Life, is sure to get hearts racing ... and bring all the boys to the yard!
