Sportsgirl winter preview parade and some blogging fun


Last night I attended the winter preview parade for Sportsgirl with fellow Melbourne bloggers Alicia from Sea of Ghosts and Fashion Hayley.

It was cute, fun and typically Sportsgirl- high energy, young and the models just seemed to exude that aura of the girl with the wardrobe we all want.
It can be hard to review a chain store in that you know you are never going to see anything ground breaking or trendsetting, their place in the realm of fashion retail is to interpret trends and sell them to the masses.

I think the key to Sportsgirls on going success however is that they know their market and don't try to be anything they're not.

I have no doubt the autumn/winter collection will walk off the shelves, in particular the shoes and boots that by all accounts were well made, affordable and completely on trend.


These boots, they will be mine.

Me, Alicia and Hayley.

Hi Phoebe, great to meet three of my favourite fashion bloggers last night. You're right, there was nothing ground breaking about the collection, but it was a spectacular interpretation of high street UK fashion - plenty of 80s meets 90s street glamour. Also loved the heady circus twist. Hope to see you soon x

I have an on & off relationship with sportsgirl, sometimes I love everythinhg & sometimes I dislike most things. I think it's mainly because their stores tend to be 'on trend' theamed.

You look great though of course, your hair looks beautifully natural.

Hi LM,

If you are going to call yourself a journalist, please get the basics right.

"I think the key to Sportsgirls on going success however is that they know their market and don't try to be anything they're not."

This sentence should read:

"I think the key to Sportsgirl's ongoing success, however, is it knows its market and does not try to be anything it is not."

Love the photos.

Great post - you girls all looked great (as ever).

Not sure what the weird grammar nazi comment is doing there though? Someone has too much time on their hands, methinks!

You've got the prettiest complexion!

Lucinda said...

I've been admiring Sportgirl shoes for the past few seasons but haven't bought any yet fearing poor quality. Your recommendation might just make me reconsider.
