Whee, a little while back Violet and I were invited to Armani Exchange’s Chadstone store opening and we had a great time π Giorgio Armani cosmetics is hands down one of my most loved and favourite makeup brands, so I’ve always been quite enamoured by all the brands under the Armani fashion house. As with most events, I thought I’d share with you some photos with captions. Photos are of course taken by the talented Jimmy whom really should be a professional events photographer, everyone always comments on how hard he works at media events :O
The range of clothes was right up my alley, It matches my tastes perfectly with a bit of an edge, very street chic. Much of the latest range is naturally geared towards Summer fun, and so you can expect to see many pretty summery dresses.
I noticed some of the clothes and accessories were very “sailor” inspired, which is very cute and quite suitable for Australia, given we are a land “girt by sea” (my teachers will be so proud – Australian Anthem joke).
Here we are with the beautiful Gemma, girl should be a model she is absolutely gorgeous!!
Armani Exchange were kind enough to give us a $100 gift voucher to spend as we wish (they even offered the same to Jimmy, who nice are they!?), so I’m trying to determine what to buy hmmm…
I should mention Gemma is quite the fashion consultant too!
Hanging out with the lovely staff at AX, so friendly! They were all taking polaroid photos for everyone in the store!
Okay, so Violet and I have this thing where she’s always pink, white and generally colourful, and I love my blacks / grays and earthy colours. I love jeans and clothes with straight cuts, and Violet is all frills, tea cups and puppies. Our styles are like ying and yang, and so we decided it would be cute to play opposites!
Oh yes and that dress, don’t think I wouldn’t mention it Violet. It has a front zipper than goes down to just under your bust! Talk about multi-functional~
Violet – *zips front zipper right up* When you’re meeting the parents. *zips down a little* When you’re meeting your boss. *zips even further down* When you’re meeting the boyfriend.
The girl has sass hehe XD
Purchase complete! Stay stunned for an upcoming OOTD post where I get to model my new acquisition π
We both got to meet Anthony Callea who turned up for the store opening, man, is it bad that I was kinda jealous of how chic he was?
Final photo! Violet suggested we pose all “Vogue” like in front of the store, as they have live models on display. Yeah, a bit of a fail on my part because I couldn’t stop staring at what was happening behind Violet.
Dude, she is like sugar to ants or something, both the male models got up and started posing right behind her and I couldn’t help but watch and giggle XD;
You should also check out Violet’s video documenting the entire event, also shot by Jimmy! It’s a pretty accurate representation of what the event was like π
We had a blast, thanks so much for the invite AX π Being a blogger is sure fun, now if only it could pay the bills too X_x;
