Rada Priya

my dearest friend celebrated her 29th birthday this week - begging the 'gift' question. Just about all the most beautiful things I own were gifted by this girl, whom has exquisite style & taste - so when I was browsing one of my fav blogs, Kayture , and saw this image and the striking royal blue coat, my hand went straight to paper. I have no idea where said coat is from, but I found the most gorgeous cashmere wool blend felt at Tessuti's and constructed this jacket from eye just in time for birthday Daniella's party. Happy with the result I may have to construct a pattern and add this to my next collection framed sketch & coat - thats a (gift) wrap!

A little post and pre show photo log of what my lovely twin sister wore to the L'Oreal Fashion Festival Red Carpet event. Most in her comfort wearing bohemian style clothing, I added a little chic with two pieces from my collection - the silk top is from the Autumn Winter 2013 collection, and the palazzo pant is from the recent Spring Summer 12/13 collection. The rest of the styling is all her own - including the hair jewellery that she bought on one her many trips to India.

 'what i wore' post to proudly show off some Rada Priya originals - my AW13 Cobolt blue jersey peplum tucked away my baby bump happily, and pops of colour in my makeup and accessories put the fun in the look - thanks to the lovely girls of the L'Oreal powder room make over 

A little bit shagadelic, a touch of chic and a whole lotta 80's - Famous for Fashion Chapel st runway was not just eye popping, but purely entertaining  We shot the entire L'Oreal fashion event using the new Samsung Galaxy camera , edit and all - including the upload and post to the blog. If you follow me on instagram , twitter or Facebook , the instant upload from runway to media on the HD super clear screen is very smooth Thank you to AMPR Melbourne for having us -another fabulous event to mingle with our peers. Saci and I both wore samples from my Autumn Winter 2013 collection - available soon right here 

Our apartment manager won't turn on the internal heating until sometime this month, and now that the weather has taken a nasty turn, its been unbearable spending time in a cold home, so we have been frequenting the warmth of cafes and an occasional church - like there isn't a better excuse - these places are divine in all sense of the word The boys at the fountain, Amanti, Marjo & Julian
