Krrunching my way to Uniquely Singapore
So I have twittered about it, but I haven't officially announced it yet- I've been nominated in the category for 'Best Fashion Blog' in the Nuff Nang Asia Pacific Blog awards. Amazing!!
Your nominations put me there so I must say after three years developing the blog I am always grateful and humbled by your support.
Through your feedback I've worked hard this year to move the blog from a wardrobe look book to something with a bit more substance through more competitions and give-aways, the Lady Melbourne Designer Series, Fashion Week coverage and little stories set on the streets of Melbourne.
I really love Melbourne, I'm passionate about blogging and new media so it is with great honour that I accept the nomination and hope to do Melbs proud at the awards ceremony in Singapore this October.
If you feel inclined to vote just look to your right and you should see a voting panel- nice and easy!

Frocktober is almost here!
Unfortunately, there is currently no screening test for ovarian cancer. Frocktober aims to help improve the outlook for women with the disease by supporting the quest for a suitable early detection test, through fundraising for the OCRF.
Through fun – and sometimes quirky – measures, Frocktober is all about:
• increasing the public's awareness of ovarian cancer and what it is
• promoting women's health & wellbeing
• celebrating the great diversity of shapes, sizes and colours women come in.
Essentially, Frocktober puts forward a challenge to girls, women and interested men far and wide: To don a frock for a day, week, fortnight or a full month during October, and get sponsored for it!
So I will be wearing a dress every single day in October, and posting the results daily here on www.ladymelbourne.com.au.
Now that you know what I’ll be up to during Frocktober, there are several ways to sponsor me:

I don't think I can bring myself to eat this divine toffee apple- partly because it just looks so beautiful but partly because I think I'd be sick. I've already eaten my way through one show bag, the other is staring languorously at me from the kitchen bench.
I haven't been to the show since I was about 11, so I set about buying all the things I used to have as a child when my parents would take my brother and I.
I bought him a Phantom comic showbag, myself a Kewpie fairy doll, toffee apple, fairy floss and of course, a Bertie Beetle show bag. I had soooooo much fun!
In other news, I have made the final nominations of the Nuff Nang annual Asia Pacific blog awards. I am super, super excited about this, it's the first major award for the blog and after three years at it I am really proud.

Valentino, Valentino!
On Tuesday night I was a guest of Joy 94.9 fm's preview screening for Valentino: The Last Emperor.
Mark and I introduced the film and gave a short talk on the behind the scenes aspect of what goes into the production of Haute Couture. It was a little bit daunting standing up in front of a crowd, but as he reminded me, I blog and talk to plenty of people every day, I just use a different medium. Interesting point that may just fill another post!
Photo: David Downton So why am I telling about this fabulous film?!
Well, in conjunction with Hopscotch films I am very proud to present your chance to win one of 10 double passes to see the film, Australia wide.

All you have to do is leave a comment on this post and include the words, 'The Last Emperor.'
Comp closes Thursday September 24th, 5pm AEST.
