TOPSHOP TOPMAN Brisbane Launch Party!

TOPSHOP & TOPMAN HAVE FINALLY OPENED IN BRISBANE!

The 2200sqm store on the corner of Brisbane city's Albert and Elizabeth streets, which spans over three levels, is Australia's biggest yet! So it's no surprise that the fashionable guys and gals of Brisbane were a tad excited (to say the least) about the opening.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I was the lucky recipient of a double pass to the launch party which took place in-store the night before the store officially opened to the public!

I took my gorgeous Topshop loving friend Rebecca along with me and we had two hours to shop our hearts out with endless champagne, cider, and canapés on the house, as well as a complimentary voucher to get us started! Is there any other way to shop?

I tried on just about every sparkly and shiny thing in the store but managed to exercise some self control (I'm meant to be saving) and walked away with only a single purchase (for now) - this gorgeous pink sequinned crop top.

After thoroughly investigating every rack of clothing, we posed for some piccies and called it night,  but I have no doubts I'll be back for more very soon (maybe once they stop needing security guards to manage the constant line of people outside the store!)

Magic Mushrooms

With Brisbane's first TOPSHOP opening today, I spent this past weekend being a total fangirl. 

Twenty double passes for the launch party were up for grabs for Topshop lovers prepared to chase the promotional Topshop / Topman bus around Brisbane.

The first dedicated few to find the bus and say the codeword "P is for party" at each location scored an invite, and at the very last stop, The Brisbane Powerhouse, I was one of them!

I dressed in my best and brightest for maximum visibility to those with the power to hand out invites, which meant sporting my new Romance Was Born tee from the "Mushroom Magic" collection and these adorable new mushroom earrings!

The Magical Details:

Rainbow mandala tee by Romance Was Born

Thrifted black netball skirt (similar available from Target)

ASOS Black ankle boots (old style - similar available from ASOS)

Mushroom earrings by Marina Fini

Neoprene drawstring backpack from Triangl Swimwear

Graz x Ellery Quixote catseye sunglasses available from Eye Goodies

Whimsical in White

I don't have many dresses in my wardrobe, but with Brisbane's summer heat, I was in desperate need of something light, loose, and airy, and this cute white dress from Nasty Gal was perfect.

Like it was meant to be, the dress arrived in the mail on the same day as these chunky white leather sandals from Windsor Smith which I'd been eyeing-off for a while. I've been wearing my black Vagabond sandals almost daily so I thought I should find myself a white equivalent for summer, and Windsor Smith's 'Deed' sandals were a near perfect match.

My marabou earrings have of course hardly left my ears since I made them. They're just so cute and fluffy!

I felt super playful and summery in all white!

My All White Outfit:

White 'match point' dress from Nasty Gal
'Deed' chunky sandals in white leather from Windsor Smith
DIY marabou feather earrings (made with marabou puffs from MarabouBoa)
