Last week I attended the Miss Money Penny Event at the lovely Hotel Nest in Albert Park. This was such a wonderful event run by non-other than Miss Money Penny herself but also a raft of others who pitched in to help including the brilliant Kate from I Spy Style and also the terrific talents of Bronny Fraser of Style Establishment.

This event enabled us fashion conscious women the ability to shop to our hearts desires with our "champagne tastes" while only requiring our "beer budget"! It was perfectly organised with racks neatly sorted into the various categories - dresses, shirts, jackets, etc. If you were wanting to sell your clothes then all you had to do was register them on Miss Money Penny's site and then turn up and check them in too. Plus we also had the added bonus of having on hand - Milliner Julie Fleming with her gorgeous fascinators, Tipsy Toes with her fabulous life-saving ballet flats and Tribu with their great leather goods. But if purchasing wasn't on the cards for you then you had the chance to hire clothes and handbags from Indian Giver and Style4Hire.

Penny had also thought of our faces, nails and stress levels as we were also given the chance to indulge in some treatments from the marvelous girls from Makeovers, Manicures & Martinis. I was there with a few girlfriends and so between us we managed to try all the treatments on offer being - make up, shoulder & neck massage, manicure and hand massage. I must say that we all felt like we were walking on cloud nine after it all - but quite possibly the champers and yummy canapes may have contributed to that too!

The whole team should be very proud of themselves because they really did such a great job. The sponsors too should be happy as the smiles on the door prize winners faces were just as big as all of ours once we received our Goody Bags as we were leaving too. So a big thank you also goes to Blackberry, Christina Re, Instyle and Marie Claire magazines and Hotel Nest. But really, big congratulations goes to a well deserved Miss Money Penny and I look forward to her future events!!!
