STREETGIRL: PARIS

SO I'M SURE YOU REMEMBER MY FIRST STREETGIRL POST, WHEN I FEATURED ABBY ROSE - ONE HALF OF THE DUO BEHIND UP & COMING ONLINE STORE 'YOU & ME BOUTIQUE'. WELL THIS WEEK YOU GET TO MEET THE OTHER HALF. HER NAME IS PARIS (NO, NOT HILTON!) AND SHE'S JUST AS STYLISH AND FASHION SAVVY, WHICH MAKES THEM A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH!

ANYWAY, BACK TO BUSINESS. PARIS IS A LONG TIME FRIEND OF MINE AND SHE'S ALWAYS HAD A KEEN EYE FOR FASHION AND UPCOMING TRENDS. SHE LOVES HER LABELS, BUT IS ALSO AN EBAY QUEEN AND I'M ALWAYS DYING OVER HER LATEST FINDS. I'D HAVE TO CALL HER A BIT OF AN ALL ROUND WONDER WOMAN, BECAUSE ASIDE FROM LAUNCHING THE ONLINE STORE, SHE WORKS IN RETAIL FOR THE GOLD COAST'S ZIMMERMANN STORE, AND HAS RECENTLY STARTED HER OWN LITTLE FAMILY WITH HUBBY MITCH AND AN ADORABLE LITTLE BOY, ZADE HARPER. SHE DEFINITELY PROVES THAT YOU CAN STILL BE STYLISH WHILE JUGGLING A MILLION TASKS A DAY. I'M LOVING THE PICS WE TOOK OVER THE WEEKEND AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM ASWELL. X

FAVE AUSSIE LABEL? ALICE MCCALL & ZIMMERMANN (OF COURSE). FAVE LUXURY DESIGNER LABEL? YSL - ALWAYS CLASSIC AND BEAUTIFUL. FAVE STORE? TUCHUZY IN BONDI IS THE ONE SHOP I CAN NEVER LEAVE, WITHOUT MAKING A PURCHASE. AND ON THE GOLD COAST I LOVE JOY HYSTERIC. FAVE ONLINE STORE? EBAY!! IS THAT COUNTED? I BUY OFF EBAY DAILY. FAVE BLOGS? HARPER & HARLEY IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE, AND OF COURSE I LOVE ALOHA LOUIS AND THE STREETS OF GC. FAVE MODEL? LILY ALDRIDGE. FAVE MAGAZINE? I DONT OFTEN BUY MAGAZINES BUT IF I DO IT'S FAMOUS OR NW, IM A SUCKER FOR CHEAP GOSSIP. WHO IS YOUR STYLE ICON? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE SARA DONALDSON'S STYLE FROM BLOG HARPER & HARLEY. SHE DRESSES EXACTLY HOW I WOULD LOVE TO DRESS IF I HAD THE TIME AND THE FUNDS. I'M ALSO A LIFETIME LOVER OF THE OLSEN TWINS.

WHAT INFLUENCES YOUR STYLE? PROBABLY MY MOOD, SOME DAYS WHEN I'M FEELING FREE SPIRITED I'LL WEAR MY FEMININE FLORAL PIECES, AND DAYS WHEN I'M GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS I'LL GO FOR TAILORED SHORTS AND A SHIRT. HOW HAS BEING A MUM CHANGED YOUR STYLE? I CERTAINLY DRESS FOR COMFORT AND PRACTICALITY BEING A MUM. MOST DAYS YOU'LL FIND ME AT HOME MAKE-UP FREE, IN MY DAGGIEST SHIRT AND SHORTS, SO I REALLY LOVE MY TIME OUT WITH THE GIRLS ON THE WEEKENDS. ARE THERE ANY OTHER MUMS YOU ASPIRE TO - STYLE-WISE? OF COURSE, MIRANDA KERR ALWAYS LOOKS AMAZING. I ALSO LOVE KOURTNEY KARDASHIANS LOOK. WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE EVER PURCHASE? OOH, THAT'S A TOUGHIE! POSSIBLY MY PATENT YSL CLUTCH OR MY NEW 'YET TO BE WORN' ELLERY HONEY MOONER SANDALS. DO YOU PREFER SUMMER OR WINTER FASHION? SUMMER! FLORALS, PASTELS, MINI DRESSES AND TAILORED SHORTS! DO YOU HAVE ANY WINTER WARDROBE TIPS? DRESS FOR THE WEATHER! THE KNITS AND BLAZERS AROUND THIS YEAR ARE SO AMAZING. THERE'S NOTHING WORSE THAN SEEING SOMEONE IN THEIR TEENY TINIEST DRESS IN WINTER AND THINKING 'GIRL, YOU NEED A HOODY OVER THAT ASAP!' NEXT ITEM ON YOUR WISHLIST? THE ABSOLUTELY TO DIE FOR, DIGITAL BLUEBIRD PRINT ZIMMERMANN SHORTS. THEY ARE PART OF THE NEW REBELLION RANGE COMING IN MARCH. THEY ARE WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEST SHORTS I'VE EVER LAID EYES ON!

WHAT'S PARIS WEARING? ZIMMERMANN MAXI DRESS, SPORTSGIRL SANDALS, ALEXANDER WANG HANDBAG AND ELLERY X GRAZ SUNGLASSES.

AMY’S SIGNATURE STYLE IS GIRLY, FLIRTY AND ALWAYS POLISHED FROM HEAD TO TOE. AND I HAVE TO SAY, HOW MANY GIRLS WOULD PAY TO HAVE THOSE UBER LUSCIOUS BLONDE LOCKS? I HAD THE PLEASURE TO SHOOT HER OVER THE WEEKEND AND WE HAD LOTS OF FUN PLAYING AROUND IN A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN ON A SUNNY SUMMER DAY.X
