Designed in Melbourne

Ooh La La Reims Quilted tote available from Myer
My Titan Sateen Dress c/o Pilgrim Clothing
Pammyy wedges c/o Steve Madden
Necklace- Colette
Cuff c/o Mezi

On Sunday afternoon I attended the launch of local designer, Cathleen Jia's latest collection hosted by Thom and Lisa from Couturing.  After a grey morning we were blessed with a gorgeous sunny afternoon in the very pretty surrounds of Domain Flowers, the most perfect venue and suited Cathleen's flirty and feminine designs to a tea!  It was also so lovely to catch up with the designer herself, Cecylia, Kelly and Jess, and to meet many of Cathleen's friends as well as Kyra of Pybus PR and Jane Hayes.

I wore this very elegant and feminine cocktail dress from Australian fashion label Pilgrim Clothing which was designed AND made right here in Melbourne!  Such a classic style and I love the little flippy hemline.  I should add it is fully lined and the quality is simply beautiful.

My bag from Ooh La La is also designed here in Melbourne!  Again a really classic, feminine style, annnd my ballet flats fit perfectly in the sateen lined outside pockets, doesn't get better than that does it : ) 

Here are some pics from the launch:

 Now don't forget there is still time to enter my giveaway to win your very own cuff, the same as mine, from Australian jewellery label Mezi!

    Gorgeous dress! It's a shame Australian designers aren't better known outside the country. One of my favourite finds in Sydney was a thrifted raw silk dress from Gorman, whom I'd never heard of until my roomie filled me in.
