Some weekends are better than others lets just admit it! This one I can write home about. Highlights? seeing the Great Gasby, discovering new pets, (random bird that is now always at my window) receiving new fabrics, Having my sister stay the night (this is a rare occurrence!) going to the Melbourne Food and wine festival, Koren BBQ, Hollywood costume exhibition and seeing in the flesh Diors stunning work at NGV and working on the babywear collection for a up and coming photo shoot...
So I will start with the Great Gasby. Yes it is not everyones taste. You are taken back in time to the 1920s and everything is so over the top, but if you think about how things have changed you appreciate the life you have for it. It was a piece of art in my eyes, the costumes by Catherine Martin are just brillant as she works so well in collabration with her husband Baz Luhrman. They just make it. Just think of Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge and now there is the Great Gastby to add.

Melbourne Food and wine Festival- $32 alittle steep for a couple of pieces of bread and cheese but I can say I went and enjoyed it for other factors. I ended u with a Catus Jack lemon tequila bottle in hand ?! so it must have been good hey?!

NGV Collection Focus Dior and Yamamoto: The New Look-
If only we had this exhibition his time last year when I was studying the two fashion icons. The works of the Dior and Yamamoto are amazing to say the least. I never thought I would actually be able to see Dior's original work in the flesh. His use of line and detail in each garment I saw was almost breathe taking. So precise and clean and nothing like you will ever fine in Target or Myers. Yamamoto brought avant-garde style and Dior brought beauty back to women with voluminous silhouettes and feminine style. I have a strong appreciation for the two designers work.
