Love for Paris Fashion Week - #liverunway

Oh my goshhh. Have just spent the morning pouring over all the glam shots and video feeds from the Paris Fashion Week Runway which is happening across the globe in one of our favourite fashion and style hubs of the world! Some amazing designs and runway styling have been involved so far.

Also a clever little hashtagging initiative is giving us all an insight into the behind-the-scenes and a lot of inspiration as well!

#liverunway is what all you fashionistas are going to be wanting to insta-search in the next few days to get your glimpse into Paris Fashion Week and your dose of lust-worthy couture.

Keep your eye out for Mercedes with added style..

Good afternoon all!

A quick post to let everyone know to keep their eyes peeled on the streets of Townsville in the coming weeks as you might be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of one of Carmichael Motors Mercedes-Benz's especially accessorised TFF cars! A few glammed up Mercedes Benz will be gliding through our streets in the lead up to the Carmichael Motors Mercedes-Benz Townsville Fashion Festival, which is just around the corner now - less than a month to go until it all kicks off!! How exciting!

So many other updates to come, but in the meantime get out and enjoy this stunning weather in your best spring/summer fashions as our gorgeous city starts to heat up!

Behind-the-Scenes: Flinders Cosmetics & Consultancy Postcard Shoot

Oh hi there!

Sorry I didn't get a chance to check in over the weekend as promised. The TFF have crew have been busy again with yet another postcard shoot and all other kinds of planning in the works!

But here I am with your very own little glimpse into the behind-the-scenes at Flinders Cosmetics & Consultancy for the most recent TFF postcard shoot - glam packed as usual.

 



Model Riana Dinsmore of RFT wore some stunning designs by Sharee on set, with incredible hair by Troy from Reds Salon (of course we would expect no less) and stunningly flawless makeup by Jasmin from Stelliani.

 



These behind-the-scenes moments are brought to you courtesy of the lovely Carolyn from Piccadilly Photography.

Accessories were provided by Paris Melbourne and set styling by Cindy Walker.

As you can see, there was no shortage of grandeur on set with some fabulous lighting set up by official photographer for the shoot, Matthew Gianoulis and fresh fruit galore! If you had happened to stumble into the Flinders Cosmetics & Consultancy Studio on Sunday you would have found yourself in a very well-lit and elegant little paradise.

Don't forget to head over to www.townsvillefashionfestival.com.au now for tickets and a chance to experience the glamour for yourself in October! Tickets are already flying so you don't want to miss out!!

Until next time.
