S P R I N G R A C I N G // INSPIRATION FOUND AT FRANKIES


 As we're all well aware, Spring Racing Season is here! We had our Spring Summer stock at Frankies storm the runway last week at our Breast Cancer Fundraiser with my new capsule range (post coming soon) and the new Frankies Basics Range.. I haven't been able to stop thinking about this amazing fascinator that our beautiful model Amy wore.. Surely you can see why. It's so different and well, stunning! You can expect to see me in this if it hasn't already sold. The beautiful and sometimes painful thing about Frankies Boutique is that the majority of the accessories are one offs. It's great on one hand because you know you won't see another Frankies girl rocking your look but not so great if like me your budget is tight and you can't afford the $79 for the most beautiful fascinator I've ever seen. I know $79 is nothing but I am first and foremost a student and a girls got to eat.. Come and check out the new ranges in store and online at ffrankies295.com.au

OUTFIT POST // FRANKIES BOUTIQUE

It has been far too long, I have been so busy making my dreams come true that I have barely had time to think, let alone post. If you follow my instagram and Facebook you will have already heard the exciting news that has me so busy of late. If you haven't this is it..  I've been asked to design a Capsule Range for Frankies Boutique's SS14 Collection! The range will soon be available for preorder online at frankies295.com.au with a special preview at 'Rocking the Runway Against Breast Cancer' a fundraiser being held at The Grand Hotel Warrandyte, Thursday the 23rd of October at 7pm. My range will be shown after the launch of Frankies new signature basics collection. I am so excited for the event for so many reasons other than the obvious. Most importantly due to the fact that 100% of profits go to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

I'm going to get very personal for a minute here, my dear Nanna, won her battle against the disease but lost a breast before I was born. I remember being little asking her why she had to sew padding into her bra, she explained that she did it so she wouldn't look 'uneven'.. Being a child, I never really thought much of it, I didn't quite understand why she felt she had to be 'even'. It wasn't until I grew older that I realised what she must have gone through and how brave and strong she was. Sadly while she won her battle against Breast Cancer my Nanna died of Bowel Cancer in 1996. She was quite arguably my favorite person in the whole wide world. There's not a day that goes by where I don't think of her and miss her. Nanna was my first word and my best friend, a woman with so much strength and a woman who to this day is an inspiration to me. That's why when Prue Garner (Creative Director of Frankies) told me about the event I was willing to do anything to help get it off the ground. When she saw my design work from RMIT and asked me to design a range for her to be shown at the event, well that was a dream come true.

To those that are local I would love if if you could come, tickets are only $55 pp, including champagne, a cocktail on arrival, canapes, entertainment by DJ Marco Lepore and a dessert buffet!. It starts at 7pm but doors open at 6pm, so please get your tickets here and show your support for Breast Cancer, Frankies Boutique & me.
