Last Wednesday evening I was lucky enough to be a aprt of the In-Style Women of Style Awards in Sydney. Not through any merit of my own I might add! My dear friend, the stunning and stylish Eliza Brown was a nominee in the Lifestyle category and asked me along to be her handbag and moral support.
The night was extraordinary and somewhat overwhelming with the calibre of stylish and successful women all in one place. To say i was star struck is an understatement.
Eliza and I spent a good portion of the evening agape at our style icons like Sass & Bide, Colette Dinnigan (looking great withOUT a fringe), Kristy Hinze - stun with trillionaire husband Jim in tow 9quite handsome actually), Gail Elliot (Little Joe and one of the original 80s Supermodels), Natalie Bloom, Erika Heynatz (amazing!) and so, so so many more.
A highlight for me was talking with In Style ed Kerrie McCallum who gave Miss Money Penny a mention in In Style early in the peice in the fashion pages and purchased a Chloe jacket from the site. big thrill for her to remember that (she still wears the jacket), and seen quite excited to meet my alter ego Miss Money Penny.
Eliza was a worthy and gracious nominee and whilst she did not win her category I believe she is the most stylish woman I know - for a number of reasons I won't go into on a blog!
Anyway, as we have always claimed to concur with Yves Saint Laurent, "fFshions fade, style is eternal". Check outn the pics and blog from the Instyle site below or link to
