Stellar Arabella

by cecylia on October 13, 2011

Last night I had the pleasure pf attending the Arabella Ramsay VIP night at Arabella’s High St Armadale boutique. She has the most whimsical SS11 collection, a Parisian-influenced quirky store, oh and the best vintage pieces! I felt like I was walking into a candy store, my eyes could not stop feasting on the beautiful prints, soft fabrics and eclectic jewels. I was thrilled to catch up with my stunning friend Ebony, who you would have see in my styling portfolio. Here are some sweet memories from last night for you to enjoy!

It was an honour to meet Anna, the designer of Edenborough Evans. This jewellery label is one to watch, and wear! Anna and her sister have trained with the best Italian jewellery designers, showcased their collections in Paris at Premiere Classe (where I used to go to meet accessory designers for my ex-boutique, see here) and have their gorgeous pieces stocked at Arabella Ramsay. You can also see their full collection on their online store here. I bought an Edenborough Evans necklace from Arabella, you can DIY engrave your favourite inscription onto the name plate. After much contemplating, we decided on our wedding date instead of engraving a name. Hubby hammered ’10 Nov 07′ onto it, cannot wait to show you his masterpiece!

It is always an absolute pleasure to see Jane, who is so charming and witty, I adore her! What do you think of the taxidermed rabbit, posing with Theodore? The vintage jumpsuit was a show-stealer, and I really wanted to purchase the ‘surprised rabbit’ but it’s not for sale. How cute is it!

Outfit: Cylk Visage dress (worn as top), Sophia Kokosalaki dress (From Paris99), Dhini silk vest,  vintage necklace, bangles and clutch, Miss Sixty heels

I love knit dresses, the Cylk bodycon dress is so sexy I wore it as a top for this event. The white pleated Sophia Kokosalaki skirt is a vintage purchase from the amazing Paris99 salon. Dhini’s vest is the most beloved piece in my wardrobe right now, I ordered it after seeing it at Rosemount fashion week. The tailoring is exquisite. Gonna wear it with everything!

I had so much fun at Arabella’s store with all the girls that I stayed way too long and missed out on going to Green With Envy’s Josh Goot event and meeting him and Harpers Bazaar’s Christine Centenera. *sobs* Next time I hope :)

Thank you Arabella for having us, hubby is loving his new pocketchief, he’s going to debut it at Caulfield Cup this Saturday! I actually don’t have to plan an outfit for Saturday as I have been ordered to wear the same outfit I wore last week because I’ve been most blessed to be in the Finals for Fashion on the Fields. It’s still so surreal and am getting butterflies about it…will have to share photos with you soon! Have a beautiful weekend my beloveds!
