Schooled with Wikifashion

So I'm back! I wanted to try out a blog tag that we've come up with at Wikifashion.

You know when you were at school and referenced Wikipedia, instead of using individual articles? Well if you went to fashion school, we want to be your ultimate reference.

This can only happen if the whole community seeds it + keeps it going..

In the blogger tag, try to link to Wikifashion pages. If you notice errors or want to add to the page- please do so!

If the page doesn't exist yet, simply search for it and create the page (if you want to).

1.Who is your favorite style icon? (easy!) Taylor Tomasi Hill.

2.Favorite fashion brand? Lauren Moffatt.

3.If you could have the wardrobe of any fashion blogger, who would it be? That would be a close tie between le Blog le Betty and the lovely Sydney's from The Daybook- adore her lipstick collection.

4.If you had were granted your ultimate fashion splurge, what would you get? YSL Oval Arty ring.

5.What style tip should you have been taught at school? How to tie a scarf.

6.What is your fall back style tip? Wearing a breton stripe tee and red lipstick.

I'd love to tag ~ The lovely Sweet Lime + Spiced Tea, All Cats are Grey at Night, The Autumn Castle and Fashion Testimony.

Feel free to add images to your tag, the prettier the better!

+ if you want to see what I've been up to, I'm pretty fanatic about instagram right now. Follow me @Wikifashion. Here are some snippets...

My favourite motto..

Love tan and pale blue..

When I get bored, I like to switch up my wallpaper...

Window shopping..

Sorry if my last post was obnoxious..

So I was beginning to think that my blog was broken. But I think that my last post may have come across as too boastful. Sorry if that was the case, I was simply proud that I'd been published in the NYTimes (and I have no co-workers to share things with).

I think from now on I might not talk about those kinds of things. I've realised this week that I care about it a lot more than anyone else does.

So this weekend I made a pie, here are the results. The crust was revolting and I'm considering binning it or scooping out the custard and eating it straight from the dish. What to do...

Don't get mad, get in The New York Times ....

Best morning ever, the lovely Simone from the New York Times contacted me to let me know that we've been mentioned on her blog today...

At first when I found out that Vogue Italy and Vogue USA had essentially copied my idea I was a little crushed to say the least. But then I realised that this only validates the fact that my company is a good idea and worth pursuing. I've been boot-strapping this thing for nearly 2.5 years now and I can tell you that all of the tinned tuna for lunch is really worth it to be mentioned in The New York Times. Here's hoping that Wikifashion will continue to get bigger ....

Mini Brisbane fashion meet up at Zuri..

Our second fashion meetup was held at Zuri bar where we celebrated my lovely friend's Summer 2012 collection launch for her label ~ Zafiro. Gosh I need to start running if I want to wear those gorgeous pieces, eek. When did it become October?

It was lovely to finally meet Fran from Opinion Slave..

+ Kaity of modernlegacy..

Can't wait for our next meetup! If anyone is in Brisbane and would love to join the Brisbane fashion meetup sign up here.

All photos are from Opinion Slave... (silly me didn't take one photo).

Brisbane Fashion Industry meetup ~ Zafiro Summer 2012 launch

My lovely friend and founder of Zafiro Australia is launching her Summer 2012 collection at Zuri bar on the 29th of September. So I decided that it would be a great opportunity to hold a Brisbane Fashion meetup to celebrate + cheer the brand on.

If you're in Brisbane and would love to come along and have a few cocktails and buy a new bikini, you should RSVP here. It would be great to meet some fellow Brisbane bloggers!

The Sydney Morning Herald..

While I was in San Francisco, the lovely fashion editor from The Sydney Morning Herald wrote a feature on Wikifashion. After a full day at a conference I rushed back to our hotel to do a skype interview at 11pm with her and this is the result. I'm really happy with how things turned out and thankfully didn't mumble (too much).

While I was in New York I had a few meetings with editors and fashion founders + the lovely Karlee from Business Insider interviewed me, here's the article.

I'm still a little jet lagged though I promise to put up a few pictures from my trip. Unfortunately I didn't do any sightseeing (didn't even see the Golden Gate bridge, even though I was in San Fran for two weeks), so my photos are really limited..
