Every Day with Peter J

I’ve grown up with Peter Jackson, and I can always remember the iconic “Peter Jackson” jingle that sounded over their adverts as the most dapper of men graced the screen. Peter Jackson has been making luxury & innovative tailoring to meet every Aussie man’s needs for decades and has become the go to for men in every state….including my very own Dad.

When I was little girl, my Dad would used to take me on a mission to choose a shirt and tie for him, and Peter Jackson was his shop of choice. So when I say that I’ve grown up with Peter Jackson, I mean more than just knowing the jingle off by heart. Decades later, I have been fortunate enough to work with this classic brand in a creative and street style capacity.

Aiming to bring a fresh and interesting look to PJ, we created a new wave of direction where story telling and lifestyle elements are key to their content. The #EverydaywithPeterJ campaign shows how the everyday man can take any Peter Jackson garment and weave it in with his own wardrobe to define his own style. Working with a number of Social Influencers, the campaign is an exciting new concept and project I am proud to share with you.

First off, here’s Daniel James Harris (@danieljamesharris) from The Gallant Army. See our first street style story below, with more to come in the next few days.

Enjoy! xx

Derby Day Highlights for Lexus and Lavazza 2015

Can you believe it is the 1st of November today, and I already have a cray cray super organised friend who has already put up her Christmas Tree!? Let’s just park Christmas aside for moment, because the most anticipated Melbourne event of the year has kick started – it’s Derby Day at the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival.

Driving into Flemmington Racecourse was quite horrendous with the downpour of rain, but thankfully the weather held up and all the fashionistas turned up in their stylish monochromatic outfits for a fabulous time at the Lexus and Lavazza Marquee.

My favourite outfits of the day (in no particular order) were Jess Dempsey in Dolce & Gabana lace ensemble as dressed by the Outnet.com and headpiece by Danika; Jacqui Felgate in Nicholas the label and Milinery Jill big bow head piece; Helen (Designer for Thurley) in her own custom designed Thurley dress ; Kate Waterhouse in white Stella McCartney top and wide legged pants and Nerida Winter hat; Margaret Zhang in Dion Lee and Sarina Suriano Jewel headpiece; Jessica Gomes in Ellery’s trademark bell sleeved dress; and the beautiful ladies in Louis Vuitton.

Anyway, I’ll let you decide … enjoy the snaps! For more images, please visit What Would Karl Do.

Special love and appreciation to S.Wallis for dressing me this year to keep me comfortable and stylish xxx

Alice McCall opens at Chadstone Fashion Capital

Today was the official launch of Alice McCall’s second store in Melbourne. So this morning I made my way to the Chadstone Shopping Centre to check out the new Alice McCall store and I was impressed. I knew I stepped into dangerous territory because I am in love with their latest collection, in particular their long red croquet dress with this amazing backless detail; the cute little playsuits in black, white, patterned and in different fabrication, and of-course their striking red and white jumpsuit that can’t be missed. Only the bold and daring would wear it and I can see it on the streets of Paris or New York during Fashion Week.

If you were to ask what’s my favourite out of the day, it would have to be the black and white croquet playsuit – an absolute winner for Derby Day coming up in 2 days!

Thank you Ali, and Electric Collective PR for having me xxx

MRP Store Launch Party at Melbourne Central 2015

Fashion is for everyone!

MRP is an South African, mega fashion store to hit the shores of Australia which offers “I need it now” and “outstanding crazy value” women, mens, children, baby, accessories and sleepwear!

When I first received MRP’s launch party invitation card in the mail (ie, a mini fashion film starts playing as soon as you open the invite), I knew I was headed for an epic time.

And boy was I right. The crowd and vibe was insane, and thank God I brought my plus one guest, Nami with me (@nami_man) for the added fun!

With my fresh look (yes! I have dusty pink hair with a darker purple shadow roots going on), I was instantly entertained by Social Playground’s clever little photobooth setup where you can move around their graphic designed blocks around and pose for an instant photo. As I entered into the venue, there was a “spin-the-wheel” setup, then tables filled with mini burgers, tacos, cocktails and beer; an DIY Ice Cream booth; and even a custom cap design booth. A celebration isn’t a celebration if there wasn’t any shopping too! Each guest were given a $30 voucher to spend and I ended up getting a beautiful stripey long shirt to layer over my high waisted jeans. After thralling through the racks of very well priced garments, I ended up at the back of the store for some live fashion illustration!

All in all, we felt like little kids again – lost in the wonder of entertainment and FASHUN.

Last and not the least, special thanks to Hot House Media for having me at MRP amazing celebration parteeeee xxx
