40 this month with two children under 4 and never felt so fabulous!


40 must be the new fabulous. I am feeling more empowered and comfortable in my being than ever before. Racing Fashion is forever evolving and with a shoot with the amazing Madam Virtue, JC and Dean with Matt Wren at the lens I knew I would be taken care of.
Certainly I was shocked when recently I have been asked to model and do couture fashion shoots, but it seems that with Lanvin taking on ladies the right side of fabulous and Advanced Style being such a hit, 40 is the new fabulous.
This shoot has been brought together with the genius of Madam Virtue with their abundance of talent and couture garments which made me feel Racing Fashion Fabulous. We have incorporated this shoot with 'Racing Fashion TV, Season 4, Behind the Sash', to bring a brilliant product.
This advert does bring me to a bare minimum, but Racing Fashion will represent the most beautiful designers this year with colour brimming and marvellous millinery adorning our heads.
Milliners have never been so busy with one new comer telling me “no need for advertising”, as she has practically sold out before Spring has Sprung.
The colours this year will be representative of the Pantone Fashion Palette as well as well fitting couture garments that are one of a kind.
Remember the dinner set that only comes out for visitors, well I think you are worth being the 'VISITOR' every day. Everyday as a woman we should, (when we are not playing mum) give ourselves the time to wear that fabulous dress to lunch. We should wear those special pieces. If we are not good enough for them right now, when will be good enough?
Yes, we are doing it tough financially, but really to get dressed up and have a coffee, does not cost much. I miss the days of sitting with my friends for coffee and catching up on the latest news and shoes. We would always admire one another’s outfits and stroll looking at shops musing, we did not have to purchase. I love blogs, but sometimes I feel that we are spending too much time on the phone and even when I go to a cafe I see people sit down at the table and bring out their I phones. This is taking away from conversation and the art of keeping company.
Big changes are happening in Racing Fashion and ladies, grace, elegance, and classic couture is never out of fashion.

Grazia Australia Loves Headwear

Something I am always happy to see is that Grazia Australia showcases headwear at least once a month in its Editorial Fashion shoots as a regular accessory.  Poor Kellie Hush is always bombarded by me saying how much milliners, hatmakers and myself love to see hats as a regular feature in Grazia Australia Magazine.  Here is the shoot of Dark Secrets featuring Willow designs.  Photography by Georges Antoni and Styling by Thelma McQuillan.  May 28 issue of Grazia Australia.

Hatmaker Headpiece, this is the piece that had tragedy strike when I entered the shop.

By the way do you notice that Grazia 'NEVER' refers to headwear as fascinators.  Hmmmmm, love it.
