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.

Gorgeous! The show looked like so much fun :)
Gorgeous three ladies!
Looks like such fun! x
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

PS great photos, resolution is incredible.
You all look so lovely :)
Loving the boots - bring on winter!! (can't believe I am saying that - when it comes no doubt will be wishing for summer)!
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.
The show itself looks pretty impressive! Love the girl on the swing (is that what that is?).
Oh yes, those shoes look like a season of fun.
fun, fun, fun!!!
3 gorgeous girls, and some truly awesome boots! Fabulosity itself!

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.
Looks like you had fun! And all three of you look fantastic! :D

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!
Looking lovely ladies!
What's up with grammer grouch? It's an internet blog, and to my knowledge you haven't called yourself a journalist!
It's just for fun!!

You've got the prettiest complexion!
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.
