Happy Friday video blog!

Happy Friday and happy Easter everyone!

Today's video is a little historical overview of head scarves and how I like to wear them. I had a request from @cannedcontent on twitter if I could do a little video on the topic so here it is.

Enjoy!

Happy Friday!

This week's video post has taken me six attempts but it is finally here!

I apologise to those of you who expected it Friday morning- technical difficulties and sound distortion have rendered all previous attempts futile.

However, here it is and as additional content I have included links below in case any of you wish you discover further what I am talking about in today's video.

Enjoy!

Happy Friday to you all out there!

I am all dressed up today in lew of today's give-away which is tickets to the new film 'My One and Only.'

Here is what the film is all about:
My One & Only set in the 1950's, is inspired by the incidents in the life of actor and Hollywood icon George Hamilton. This breezy journey follows the refined and enchanting Ann Deveraux (Renee Zellweger), who packs up her life, including two teenage sons, buys a Cadillac convertible and embarks on a cross-country trip to get away from philandering, society bandleader Dan (Kevin Bacon.) Anns goal: to find herself a new husband. Yet what this unconventional family discover is something altogether more wonderful.

This comp is going to close on Monday evening as the film is already in cinemas and I'm anxious to get it out to you all as soon as possible.

There are 5 double passes to give away, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post to be in the running!

Comp ends Monday 29th March, 5pm AEST. Winners announced Tuesday 30th March.

Happy Friday!

I've had many requests lately to see how I create my hair and make-up looks on the blog. Today's video is all about two of the key Lady Melbourne looks and how you can achieve them. It is simpler than you might think!

The amazing necklace I'm wearing in the video is from My Sweet Muse and you can check out all of Eva's designs and more at her etsy shop.

Happy Friday!

Hi guys, it's been quite a week, what with losing one of my digital cameras, in particular the one that I've been using for my video blogs. It was a tough pill to swallow realising that it was gone, but not to be deterred I've borrowed a camera this week in order to bring you my Friday video.

As requested by one of you, today I'm talking about how to appear confident in your photos, and little tricks you can use to get the best out of your photography.

Hope you enjoy!

Happy Friday!

Hey y'all, just to carry on from last weeks give away, I have the lurvely limited edition Lavazza 2010 calendar shot by Miles Aldridge for you. And not one but five of them to give away. I love it when I get multiples, I don't feel as though so many of you miss out in this case!

Happy Friday Give Away!

As I mentioned yesterday, one of my friends and fellow bloggers suggested that I do a video blog once a week because she'd love to see more of Lady Melbourne TV.
So rather than it being as styled as last time(read: my editor moved to London and I'm rubbish at Final Cut) it will be more conversational between you, and me.

This is the kick off video, please feel free to write in each week!

Happy Friday! Welcome to Lady Melbourne's new Friday videos

Happy Friday y'all, I've only just made it with about 30 minutes to spare but I've barely been near the computer in the last two days.

Last night was the Nuff Nang Christmas party and it was lovely to catch up with Alicia and Hayley amongst many other Melbourne bloggers. We're lucky to have a really cool scene here in Melbourne where anyone can come to these parties, not just fashion bloggers but anyone that blogs.

Happy Friday....just!

When Stephanie J the editor of N.E.E.T magazine emailed me earlier this year and asked if I'd like to contribute to the mag I jumped at the chance. It's one of my favourite online magazine's and I used to advertise with them long before I started the blog and had my accessories line.

Anyhow, below is my contribution of photos and words for this months issue so check it out, there are some faaaaabulous shopping gems I uncovered for the issue.

Leigh Viner is an artist/illustrator who also contributed to the issue, I bought this print from her Etsy shop. Can't wait to get it and put it up!
I want this entire outfit, check it out on page 50.

So, here it is folks, the Happy Friday Dreaming of Dior by Charlotte Smith book give away! I've hinted about it on the blog and on twitter but it was pretty obvious it was the book don't you think?!

I was racking my brains about what to wear in the post and it dawned on my while I was hunting around the studio that I had my own mini Dreaming of Dior moment. Earlier in the year I inherited the two vintage dresses I'm wearing in the post, and managed to salvage a picture of my Aunt Joan wearing the pink number at a wedding in the 1970's.

In her younger years, Joan was a ball room dancer and had many of her clothes hand made especially for competitions and events. Although this wasn't one of them, the dresses are so special to me and I absolutely treasure them.

Happy Friday: Dreaming of Dior Give-Away!

Hello, happy Friday everyone, the end of another week and a step closer to Christmas.

I twittered earlier today that I had an hour or so to kill in Richmond and ended up on Bridge Rd of all places. Absolutely nothing inspired me until I was about to give up all hope and I walked past the window of Leoni and saw it calling out to me. On sale as well! I love Sonia Rykiel, it reminded me of one of her sweaters.

The inspiration for today's photos is from this Dior ad which I've been looking at all week. I think I want those sunnies I've decided. To die for, no?

Happiest Friday wishes to you, I'm off for cocktails now.
