Scenic Rim Photoshoot | Ma Belle Allure | Lily & Bridge behind the scenes October 18, 2016February 9, 20170 Last weekend was spent doing a photoshoot at The Bunyip Scenic Rim Resort just an hours drive from Brisbane. We have stayed at the resort many times and I always wanted to do a shoot here. So I was so excited when I got the chance!! So what was the photoshoot all about? Well with Brisbane hosting its first Brisbane Fashion Month - I thought it was fitting to do a blog on "Red Carpet worthy" fashion items for your wardrobe. During the month there is the Undress Runway, Designer Q Fashion Parade, Brisbane Fashion Weekend runway events and Queensland Fashion Month Finale Party just to name a few!!! Selecting the right thing to wear to these events doesn't have to be overwhelming. Here are a few hints on how to do it right. Don't be a slave to fashion when it comes to style or colour. Pick a style that suits you and you feel amazing in. If you feel great in what you are wearing, it will show!! It is Spring, so colour is everywhere, but black, white or navy will also look fabulous. Remember you are going to be standing and then sitting for a period of time so you don't want to wear anything that is uncomfortable - you don't want to be fidgeting with your outfit or having to adjust it all night. If in doubt about what shoes to wear - stick with a neutral shoe that suits your skin colour. It will elongate your legs and make you appear taller. So here are a few of my picks from Lily and Bridge in Paddington: We go some amazing shots at sunset!!
