DeA style for Cebiche Swimwear

Recently I had the pleasure of co-styling a glamorous swimwear shoot at the exquisite Appealathon home (built by Zorzi), in Dalkeith. 

Thankfully I had the help of my friend and co-stylist Candice VH, plus our Assistant Andrea Daclan, as we were pressed for time due to the Appealathon home being open to the public for inspection later that day.

Luckily Owner/Director of Cebiche Swimwear Hayley K Williams pulled together an amazing team; Photographer Ben Riches, Gorgeous MUA's Claire Luu and Shelley Meyer and  Hair stylists Tia & Jo from Cafe styles in Fremantle, along with the Stunning Models; Holly, Amanda, Jade, Paige and Loren. With such a professional and up-beat team it made working to such a tight schedule a breeze.

Unfortunately due to the time constraints on the day we were unable to shoot all of the pieces from The Cebiche 2011 Swimwear Collection, which meant one thing..... Another shoot!!!!!

This time it was a shoot on a very small scale; the team consisted of Ben Riches (Photographer), Claire Luu (MUA), Holly Pauro (Model), Hayley K Williams (Creative Director) and Myself (Stylist).

The shoot took place in Cottesloe at another fantastic location, yet again the shoot went too well with everyone working in harmony and the glam Holly Pauro pulling off every style and every look, radiating natural beauty in the well cut, well fitting, unique pieces of swimwear from Cebiche.

Cebiche Swimwear is the ultimate lux must-have item this summer, say good-bye to mass produced swimwear and stand out this summer in these stunning designer pieces.

As the countdown begins for P.F.F

As the countdown begins for P.F.F ...

I decided to revisit the looks that hit the runway back in May of this year at RAFW.

Just in case there was some of you out there missed out on seeing what will be hitting our stores in the coming weeks/months ( to gear us all up for this years spring/summer).

I share with you my top 3♥ ..

3♥Quirky-Sexy-Cool

Alice McCall

Gaaaaaaah....

Loose but plunging summer dresses, gorgeous (dare I say) hippy-esque florally print bodysuits, shorts and dresses, gorgeous tapered-leg jumpsuits in a mixture of steele grey, whites, bright yellow, black and blue...this is Alice McCall's spring/summer 10/11.... I say "Bring on summery days to allow us to adorn such beautiful garments!"

2♥Dark-Strong-Smouldering

Fernando Frisoni

Drooool!.....

Yes I said Drooool! Drooling, Attractive? No!

RAWF male models kitted out in Fernando Frisonis latest collection?Attractive? Hell YES!

Slouchy, comfy, dark and mysterious this was what was vibing from F.F's latest collection.

Simple and Fresh with a hint of colour, I strongly suggest buying your B♥F one or numerous items from this collection.

1♥ Bangin!- Crystal-Renaissance?

Romance Was Born

Yes!Yes!Yes!

All I can say is Thank-God!

Literally Thank-God that "Romance was Born" designers Luke Sales and Anna Plunkett had enough balls to express creativity through Fashion!

For a moment there I thought that all hope had been lost!

Their collection certainly stood out by epic proportions; Ultra-fluro cat suits, headgear, claw-like nails and tiered couture gowns, a volcano dress,& gold thigh-high boots, all the result of countless hours of hard work and boy was it worth it.

This collection is electric, fierce and wonderful, unfortunately not all pieces seen below will be available in store as ready-to wear pieces (for obvious reasons). 

Good news is about 70% of what you see will be, the rest available by order.
