Show/Tell/Share: Hello! Just letting you know all the *AMAZING* photos are now up from our very recent Sydney November event on our new events page. Check them out! It includes individual photos of our *delightful* models. Oooooh, Aaaaah, Fantastic!

Again, my many, many thanks to all involved for making The Social Outfit‘s first event an occasion to remember xo

As for me, I can’t believe our showcase was one week ago to the day. I literally haven’t stopped since then, including the last two days down at Wollongong University. With 2-hours of travelling each way, and interesting social media workshops, my brain is feeling both very full and pretty tired! Still, my university work pays the rent, and allows me to keep working hard on developing The Social Outfit: so no complaints here… xo

Tuesday. Earrings from op shop, original Condoman brooch gifted by Viv, Primo Emporio denim vest, Saba cardigan, Anna Bennett dress from op shop, Simon de Winter socks, Fluevog shoes.

Wednesday. Ken Done t-shirt (that pink you see is the kangaroo’s tail!), dress from op shop (adjusted by me), Sportscraft belt, Uniqlo leggings, Fluevog shoes.

Share: Given we’re off to see the Dame Edna Everage farewell tour tonight, I kinda *had* to make sure I was dressed with a bit of drag-fun-inspiration, yes?! And really, it doesn’t get much better for a Sydney winter than a vintage 1980s Escada puffer-jacket. *Bliss*

Smiles all round, that’s for sure! xo

Show & Share: Introducing the delightful Antonia, one of *smart and sassy brain people* helping me work on bringing The Social Studio model to Sydney. Yesterday she visited The Social Studio in Melbourne – and she had a great time meeting with Grace and experiencing all that The Social Studio has to offer. Check out all those amazing clothes! (Antonia got herself a scarf, but I have eyes for that tartan…)

So who is Antonia Ruffell? She’s a philanthropy adviser for a private wealth company here in Sydney. Antonia is a *whiz* with all things fundraising and grant-making, and she’s worked with some leading charities in both the UK and here in Oz. Plus, she’s almost-always got a glint in her eye, a great British accent, and I’m really excited to have someone feisty like her on board! Over the next little while, I’m hoping to introduce you to all of the people working with me on this project.

But in the meantime, it’s Saturday night, so I’m off to catch up with some friends…

Tell: Morgan & Taylor hat reworked by me with lip buttons, Uniqlo skivvy, wool skirt as dress from op shop, The Social Studio felt jacket, owl brooch from YoungBloods markets, Juicy Couture patent leather boots.

Plus, you can only just see it peeking through, but I’m sporting pink eyebrows tonight…

And finally my Tatty Devine perspex crystal rings, en masse, plus others. Just love my knuckle dusters…
