Right after I got back from Canberra I squeezed into a vintage jumpsuit I got from the Canberra vintage fair, sans make-up, and dashed off to the Fashion Journal Party to celebrate the launch of their 100th issue. It was an unbelievable party. Two levels of fashionistas mingling under the one roof, along with Nandos girls serving chicken in red jumpsuits.

This colourful backdrop welcomed me warmly and it somehow reminded me of the Romance was Born exhibition with Kate Rhodes.

I bumped into Cheryl from BusinessChic, also in vintage, and Sarah, from Style Melbourne.

It’s always so much fun bumping into the stunning stylist, Micah, because she rocks it so well on the dance floor and because she wears jumpsuits too! Micah’s white wedges are from Zomp. The thing about Micah is that she doesn’t realize just how pretty she is…which is why she is even more attractive.

With Miss Ghost and Max from Fallen Woman, sporting the Melbourne Noir Looks. Another post on Miss Ghost can be found here. Her marron pumps are the same colour as my Sonia Rykiels ones!

I met this good-looking boy with a photographic hobby, also an architecture student. I actually wanted to study architecture at uni but a friend who was studying it at the time talked me out of it. Yeah you know who you are =P

It was awesome to see the talented jewellery designer Yamilla Guedez (left-most), who also owns a beautiful boutique just off High St Armadale.

I bumped into one of Theodore’s girlfriends Anna, a legal presentative from Kookai. She fell in love with my canine son at the Damselfly party. I love her dress, she’s got to be the most stylish young lawyer out there!

(vintage jumpsuit, belt and shoes; Jerome Dreyfuss clutch, Mawi ring)

And no party is complete without my gorgeous blogger friend and fellow-stylist Jess D, in the most amazing Asos lace shirt. She can pull anything off with style and aplomb.

Thanks Fashion Journal for having me. The party had everything-  great music (just a little on the loud side..maybe I’m getting old), great food, great drinks and a great crowd. I just wish I could have squeezed my way to the dance crowd…
