Rosemount Australian Fashion Week

It's nearly 2.00am in Sydney and the SP Princesses are getting ready to hit the pillow for a couple of hours sleep before our crazy schedule starts for an exciting Fashion Week in Sydney. We will be reporting back to you daily on what has been happening. We are going to some great shows and seeing some great new designers to bring to Style Palace and we are super excited!

Our very stylish outfits are ready for the week (we have been planning these for quite some time - it's a very stressful job!) and the shoes are laid out ready to choose from. We are obviously delirious and ready to sleep but had to take a quick pic of our gorgeous shoes to share with you ... it all begins here. We will be back tomorrow to report back on our first exciting day at Sydney Fashion Week. Sweet dreams xx SP Princesses

Style Palace Welcomes Tigerlily

Style Palace is excited to welcome Tigerlily to our list of favourite Australian designers. Tigerlily uses unique textiles with a fusion of fashion and classic themes in their designs.

This week the Princesses were invited to attend the West Australian showing for Spring/Summer 10/11 which was a parade under a gorgeous tree on the river bank of the stunning Mosman Bay in WA. The weather was perfect and so were the beautiful designs that were showcased.

Here is a sneak peek at the pics we took on the day. Look out for Tigerlily at Style Palace late in 2010.

A Handy Little Hint ...

Our hands are often the most forgotten and neglected parts of our body when it comes to our beauty regime so the Style Palace Princesses have been making a conscious effort to give our over-worked and under-loved hands the time and attention they deserve.

If you really want to give your hands a special treat, rehydrate them with Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair and use it as a hand cream each night. This is a tip from Aerin Lauder, granddaughter of the legendary Estee Lauder. It is not a cheap solution but your hands will be smooth and supple in no time!

It is also important to remember that your hands are just as susceptible to sun damage as any other part of your body so be sure to use sunscreen on your hands every day, especially if you are spending lots of time driving in the car with your hands on the wheel.

Style Palace can recommend Invisible Zinc for extra SPF30+ protection and Elle MacPherson is the face of this popular brand which provides a range of suncare products to suit your lifestyle.
So next time you are reaching for the lotions and potions, don’t forget to include your hands in your beauty routine. It is a great piece of advice that you will really come to appreciate later in life when you still have the hands of a 20 year old!
