Melbourne meet-up - iCiNG brunch

For Melbourne fashionistas and fashion bloggers, be sure you mark the upcoming iCiNG brunch in your diary. It's being organised by fellow fashioniser, Gala Darling.

Curvy Book Launch, Presented by Yen Magazine

Last night was the launch party for Curvy 4, featuring 100 leading female artists from over 20 countries and supported by Yen magazine.

It was an awesome night, completely packed out, and if the free alcohol wasn't enough to entice you there, the female bar staff wearing moustaches would have done it.

Party idea - liquid infusion mobile bar

Here's an idea for anyone having a party - a bar service which comes to you.

Experienced staff, and their ability to set up in most any location, means your next party will see you on the receiving end of the bar, and not stuck behind it (and who doesn't hate serving a horde of drinks at their own party!)

Liquid Infusion is Melbourne based and their website can be checked out at www.liquidinfusion.com.au.

Akina Exhibition at Kinokuniya, Sydney

If you are lucky enough to be in Sydney this month, you absolutely must go visit Kinokuniya - currently hosting an exhibition of works by creative mastermind, and Fashionising member, Lang Leav of Akina. The theme behind the exhibit is "The Teddy Bear's Picnic" -

"Akina is a villain with a button fetish. She hacks up cute Teddy Bears to steal their button eyes. The Teddy Bear's Picnic narrates Akina's story along with the tales of seven other Fairytale villains. Each have their own secret button fetish and each have a unique way of punishing their teddy bears."

High Tea with Sydney's Fashion Bloggers

For Sydney fashion bloggers who aren't already aware, there's a get together organised for this Sunday. I'm pleased to be attending - particularly given my love for high tea (and, apparently, interstate travel).
