Street Style at MBFWA 2012

For the past week my online feeds have been clogged with reports, reviews, and breakdowns of all the goings on at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia. It is super fun to get a glimpse into the new season shows and trends emerging from some of our hottest designers. But what I love the most are all the street style galleries popping up, featuring show-goers and fashionistas on the streets of Sydney putting their own personal style out there.
Currently fashion seems to be having a 'wear what you like' moment and it rocks. Put this with that, clash that with this, and team it up with some crazy hot accessories. It's inspiring to see how others have interpreted different trends and what they have matched with what. I love seeing pics of a style I may personally never wear, but that I can appreciate their particular outfit is complete and totally works. A few of my favs...


Heidi Middleton at Romance Was Born. 
For starters, frickin love her shoes! As well as her embellished jacket and colourful scarf. 

Sophia Banks Coloma at We Are Handsome.
I am in the throws of embracing print on clashing print and given that this turquoise blue is my all time favourite colour, it's a winner for me.

Pip Edwards (guru) and her gorgeous son Justice Single at Ksubi. Pip Edwards looked amazing on more than one occasion across the week but I couldn't go past this cute family pic. 

Tanya G at Ksubi. I love the rock chic mix of printed pants and a cool graphic tee. And that leather jacket is just ridiculous.

Kate Waterhouse at Ellery in classic black.
My best dressed across the whole Fashion Week would have to be Kate Waterhouse. Always looking perfect without a hair out of place, she had a few looks going on I could only dream of attempting, but she rocks it with composure and style.

At Maticevski. Collegiate Cool.

At We Are Handsome. Love the combination of colours and prints in this bold dress.

So bring on the new season while I take this new found inspiration home and start putting outfits together.

Finding inspiration for styling a Fashion Shoot

Every three weeks Bec and I set out to create a theme, select outfits, style and shoot a new range of Key Looks for our website ImpulseBoutique.com.au.

 Bec's background is fashion photography (after viewing her portfolio at her interview we were sold instantly!) and together with Jenny (another one of our brilliant stylists) we pull together a new shoot to give our online customers fresh ideas for seasonal inspiration, what's hot right now, ways to wear new pieces and to create beautiful imagery and design.

Our last shoot was on location by the beautiful River Torrens in the Adelaide CBD and featured the stunning Karolina. Our inspiration? Spring racing fashion, feminine and floral and shots of bright colours on bold black and white. For Karolina's make-up we wanted to create a Bridgette Bardot/ 50's classic type feel with a dewy face, rosy cheeks and winged eye-liner. Check out our mood board shots for inspiration...





And a sneak peek of the final shoot....
