Style Palace shopper, Frankie, recently purchased the Wayne Cooper Memory Taffeta Dress and sent in a pic of her looking gorgeous at the races wearing her new purchase. She also made the final 10 in Fashions of the Field - congratulations Frankie! We would love to see more pics of our lovely SP customers so start sending them in and we will post them on our blog and stylepalace.com.au for the world to see!

Thanks Frankie - you look fantastic!

2009 Perth Fashion Festival Launch

Today I attended the launch of the 2009 Perth Fashion Festival. It was held at the glorious GPO in Perth and attended by fashionistas and special guests all looking forward to finding out what the program had to offer for this year. We weren't disappointed ... the program is exciting, innovative and jam-packed with so many great events for everyone.

Models and Maxis

It's been an eventful couple of days. You have probably already heard the exciting news that Tahnee Atkinson from Perth won the 2009 Australia's Next Top Model. I'm so glad I was able to attend the event - it was a great final and I personally think either Tahnee or Cassi would have been worthy recipients of the title - both had very different talents and strengths but secretly for me I was happy a fellow Perth girl was the winner. Another girl I quite liked and think has potential is Claire who won viewer's choice. I went along to the after party and met with the girls - here are some pics of the set and with Tahnee at the after party ...

Earlier that day I met with Leigh from Lil Designs to see some of her new styles. Her vintage print has been so popular at stylepalace.com.au that I was ecstatic when she showed me her signature vintage print styled in a strapless maxi dress. I can't wait for the new designs to arrive at the Palace and here is a pic of my fave maxi dress ...

That's all from me for now. I arrived on Hayman Island today so will be looking forward to a few days of snorkelling, massages, yoga classes and lots of delicious food (the breakfast is apparently very yummy!).

Sweet dreams to you all.

Style Palace At Australia's Next Top Model

I was lucky enough to get tickets to the final of Australia's Next Top Model as well an invite to the after party so decided to make the most of a trip to Sydney and take this week off. After a couple of days partying in Sydney I will follow the sun up to the beautiful Hayman Island. This doesn't mean that Style Palace has closed for the week - the Princesses are still keeping things ticking along back at the Palace!

With my laptop on-hand I will keep you updated on my week off (it won't be all pleasure - there will also be a little bit of work on the agenda). The Australia's Next Top Model final is on tomorrow night and I will be there cheering on Perth finalist, Tahnee so stay tuned for what happens after the final.

I arrived in Sydney today and headed straight for the Lindt Chocolat Cafe in Martin Place. If you are ever in Sydney and a chocoholic like me, I highly recommend you try the Lindt Hot Chocolate (I have soy milk but I'm sure any milk will do). It is seriously to die for and was the perfect start to my east coast holiday.

More to come soon ...
