LIVE from the Red Carpet

The AACTA awards (Australia's low-budget version of the SAG awards) are currently underway, with the Aussie actors arriving on the red carpet as we type.

So why make you wait, when you can catch a glimpse of the fashion as it happens:

Don't recognise these actors? Neither do we...

Trend Alert

Autumn is days away, and if you want to be ahead of the fashion pack - think everything high neck.

From dresses to tops, knits and cottons - the higher the neck, the closer to fashion heaven.

Look for Less

What does Kookai and Witchery have in common? A hip-knotted skirt, that's what.

Feeling knot-ty?

Allan Border medal

The Allan Border medal may not have been awarded just as yet, but our favourite WAG has been chosen - and this was an easy one.

Congratulations to Oglia-Loro Couture for creating this show-stopper.

Get the Look

Kim K has shown us time and time again that she is loving pink hues.

So Witchery has helped us to recreate her looks with the Wrap Blanket coat ($399.95), and the Knit Tube skirt ($99.95).

Trend alert

As the weather cools down, this Autumn is all about the cardigans. But, not ANY cardigans - full length cardigans.

Here are 3 cardi's that topped our new season shopping list:
1) Sportsgirl ($89.95)
2) Kookai ($120)
3) Witchery ($129.95)

Will you be adding this full-length cardigan to your wardrobe?

Quick Tips

I have 2 favourite lip products that I have added to my staple list.

The first is from MAC - 'Prep and Prime' lip (RRP $33). I refuse to wear any type of lipstick without using this baby first.

The clear primer will hold your lipstick on all day. 

If you talk a lot, eat a lot, or kiss a lot - this primer is for you.

Not to prime is most definitely a crime.

Next up is a newly discovered cheapy from the Body Shop ($12.95), the 'Lip Liner Fixer' - and fix it does.

As you would have read, my new Rebel lipstick feathers around the edge of my lips. Instead of buying a lipliner to match each of my lipsticks, the Body Shop have created a clear liner (cue the hallelujah chorus).

Now, time to add these beauties to your make-up bags!

Copy Cat

Love the Burberry Cape as much as these celebs? Avoid the $1395 price-tag, by purchasing Witchery's copy-cat version, for $169.95.

So, who wants to personalise one of these babies for me?

Sneak Peak: Grace + Scarper

Grace + Scarper are set to release the newest line of their 'Seventh Promise' collection, the 'Charmeleon' range.

Chameleons are known to change colouring as a way of social signalling.

Similarly, our Charmeleon collection which represents seven distinct promises; are a way of commemorating to our friends, our loved ones, or even to ourselves, something special, something of importance, something of meaning.

These little reminders, these little promises, can be collected to symbolise the G+S Seventh Promise.

We were lucky enough to receive some pieces from this collection, to play with over this long weekend - and all we can say is L-O-V-E.

Grace + Scarper will be releasing these charms in the first week of February. For more sneak peaks and to pre-order, follow G+S on Instagram @graceandscarper

Shop the Look

Lo Bosworth (Laguna Beach and The Hills star) wore Australian designer, Zimmermann at today's SAG awards.

I have always liked this dress, but I'm not sure of it's SAG awards worthiness. Lo's stylist should have gone with a different colourway for her pale skin - as this nude washes her out. Alternatively, a spray tan and different shoes wouldn't have hurt.

Shop this Silk Plunge Drape dress which was $495, and now down to $300 in-store or online.

SAG Awards

The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards were filled with monochrome dresses, pantsuits, and everything in between.

Our favourite was Reece Witherspoon in white Giorgio Armani.

JSP Loves

We are absolutely loving MAC cosmetics lipstick in Rebel.

A deep red/purple colour - I like to call it 'red wine' (but I might be getting too excited that it's Friday); is perfect for a pop of colour, with a lip stain affect.

Take this look from day to night, for only $36 (or if you are returning 6 empty MAC items, receive this lippy for free as part of the 'Back to MAC' program).

Tips: wear a primer under this lipstick to keep it long lasting.

Note: a lipliner will stop this satin finish lipstick from feathering around the edges of your lips.

Sneak Peak: Kookai

New year, new stock - and Kookai has been one of the first to deliver.

As you all know, I am very much a monochrome girl - so I thought I would add a pop of colour with this skirt (pretty adventurous, right...)

If you love the cobalt palette, this scuba-material range is also available in a crop, as well as a dress.
Skirt - Kookai (Ingrid Skirt - Cobalt)
Necklace - Kookai (Fine Slate necklace - Silver)
Shoes - Sportsgirl (Indie Peep Toe Boot - Black)
Watch - Chanel (J12 - Black)

On point

There has been so much hype over our home-grown Aussie 'celebs' wearing their personalised nautical Aje tops this Summer.

So much hype, that Aje have decided to take orders for these customised tee's from the public until January 31st (RRP $350).

To snag your own initials, call their Paddington boutique on (02) 9356 4454.

Our JSP Styler's can't wait to add one of these to our collection.

Golden Globes

The Golden Globes are well and truly underway.

We-spied-with-our-little-eyes a whole lot of white, and a whole lot of sparkle - a common theme so far in 2015 (we can say that 12 days into the New Year right?!)

As you can see, the belle's of the ball all took the 'safe' option this year, with no real stand-outs.

Hopefully this warm-up red carpet will give them a boost of confidence for the next awards show.

To be continued..

Look for Less

Love Maison Valentino's signature design of stud-encrusted pieces? So do we.
With our Summer weather, girls are looking for fresh white clutches for Sunday afternoon drinks; but without the designer price. Cue in, Kookai...

The Kookai copy-cat version, the 'Manhattan clutch', retails for only $100 - saving your hip-pocket.

Polo

When my clients asked me what my 2015 Polo predictions were, my answers were:
-White
-Lace
-Jumpsuit or two-piece outfit (ie. midi skirt)
-Wedges (you would be crazy not too)

This morning I posted my vision on Instagram - as you will soon see, it seems that one of Melbourne's most famous WAG took note...

Today many brave ladies, headed out in this wintery-Melbourne weather (and yes, it is summer...) to the Portsea Polo to look at everything but the horses.

Bec Judd must've read my mind with my predictions as she ticked each and every box in her go-to couturiers, J'Aton.

This jumpsuit's neoclassical flowers, were said to be inspired by Billie Judd (Bec's daughter); and the duo joked that the outfit was tablecloth/nonna's curtains-esque. The sleeves resembled Kate Seal (nee-Twigley, aka Bec's recently married sister's) wedding reception outfit.

For J'Aton, who are quite left-field, this outfit was a win for me. What did y'all think?

Shop the Look

After being inundated with questions and comments on Renee Bargh's dress from the People's Choice Awards - we realised you too loved her red carpet look.

If you want to get Renee's Misha Collection look, the Flora Crotchet Dress is available to buy online for $365 (how down to earth is our girl?!).

Be quick though, I can guarantee you this dress will be flying out the doors.

2015

What better way to kick-off the New Year, than with a red carpet?

The People's Choice Awards presented us with glitz, glam and a little edge last night.

We loved that Aussie expat Renee Bargh host of 'Extra' represented her home soil by wearing local brand Misha Collection.

The PCA is a little less formal than the Oscar's, Emmy's and Golden Globes - so Renee's outfit was on point.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.....
