WHEEL OF FORTUNE



I’m finally back blogging again. I have been moving out of home for the past two weeks, who knew I had so much stuff? My apartment has plain white walls which was a necessity so my flat mate and I gone all arts and craft on ourselves and got decorating.

Here is a DIY I did today on an old bike wheel. It might not be for everyone and I am no Picasso but I like the finished product and it suits our apartment.

If you wish to do this yourself you will need an old bike wheel, I found mine in general clean up, your choice of coloured spray paint I chose ‘silver chrome’, newspaper, rubber gloves, a hook, string or fishing wire and scissors.

1 Lay out a bunch of newspaper somewhere outside and place wheel on top

2 Spray paint evenly on one side, wait 10 minutes until dry and paint the other, rest until dried.

3 Tie string around the top of the wheel and hang on a hook!

Enjoy!

INSIDE OUT




The inside of a woman’s handbag is like the closet to Narnia. You never know what is on the other side, or the inside in this case.

Take a look into the inside of the Australian Vogue’s editor’s bags!

  
Christine Centenera, Senior Fashion Editor
The contents of my bag doesn’t change from my regular day to day. It’s all about staying hydrated, lint-free, calm and having enough battery life to last the day and night

Rebecca Caratti, Style Editor
Fashion week is long days and nights so my essentials are products that keep me feeling and looking as best I can. M.A.C blotting papers are a beauty must have for fresh skin, Visine Revive to keep me looking awake when really I'm sleep deprived and my clear quartz never leaves me; it stores, releases and regulates energy

Zara Wong, Online Producer
I've vowed to try to be more organised and actually use the compartments of my Fendi Peek-A-Boo tote (the operative word here: tote). The iPad mini is my latest obsession (I tell myself it's part of the job), and like any self-admitted Francophile, I couldn't resist the Moleskine diary in the Le Petit Prince edition. I love my Olympus digital camera - the vintage-esque look is a bonus.

Philippa Brophy, Market Editor
You may be thinking, “That’s not going to fit in that Céline pouch!” But with the art of packing it will, trust me. My necessities are iPhone and iPad, notebook and pen, Chanel fragrance and makeup and Shoo Sticks so I don’t fall over in front of people

Genevra Leek, Fashion Features Editor
I'm not one for a teeny tiny bag that can barely fit a lipstick, but I try to keep things streamlined. My diary doubles as a notebook, my phone as a voice recorder for interviews on the fly, and I always carry a special pair of earrings that I pop on for evening events

Sigourney Cantelo, Beauty and Health Director
Long days schlepping the kitchen sink don't really appeal so I keep my bag small for the shows - it forces me to edit and only take the essentials like my iPhone which I use to record all my interviews, take photos, write notes and keep a calendar, necessary beauty products and a car key - I'm a mum so I need to factor in dropping the baby to daycare and picking him up between shows - fashion week requires militant organisation. 

Edwina McCann, Editor-in-Chief
Full days at the shows often run into late showings and functions so I carry a few make-up essentials for touch-ups on the go. Vitamins are essential for surviving the hectic schedule and of course my iPhone and iPad for keeping up with work emails and keeping across our social media.
