Editor’s Letter
July Inspiration…
My quote of the month is from the darling iconic beauty Audrey Hepburn… “I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and… I believe in miracles.”
I love the pure sweetness of Audrey Hepburn’s overtly girly quote and I am determined to embrace her philosophy for July. This month I am all about ‘beauty’ and maintenance – my nails will always be perfectly manicured and I shall be wearing lipstick in an assortment of luscious shades every day. Overdressing is already a forte of mine; however, I am certain it can be taken to a new level for Audrey. Let the challenge begin (I cannot wait)!
On another exciting note, Uptown Twirl will be turning one on July 10th! Celebrations will commence soon so be sure to watch this space!
In the meantime, here are some of the things that are inspiring me for July….

What I Wore…
To A Beautiful Beach Wedding
On Saturday I attended a gorgeous beach wedding on the Gold Coast.
To this lovely occasion and special day, I wore a vibrant sunshine yellow strapless dress; my ‘Audrey-inspired’ sunglasses (a must for all beach weddings!); accompanied by my silver accessories. It was a lovely sunny day, filled with friends and fun.
Beach Wedding Styling
Deciding what to wear to a beach wedding can be a little tricky… especially as there are quite a few potential elements to contend with – wind; rain; or possible sunburn. There is also the ‘heels or flats’ debate which always occurs on the way out the door! So here are a few Beach Wedding Styling Tips:
The Dress
A gorgeous light dress in a divine colour or print will always look beautiful for a beach wedding. Choose one which is delicate, flowing and romantic. A floral print or something with fine detailing such as lace or embellishment will always look whimsically chic on romantic occasions. Alternatively, embrace an elegant maxi dress for pure beach glamour.
The Accessories
A clutch is the perfect accessory for a beach wedding. Choose a metallic or light neutral shade – it will go perfectly with every outfit and look très chic on the sand. For shoes, opt for an embellished sandal or metallic finish on your flats for that extra sparkle. And if you want to wear heels, make sure they are wedges – you don’t sink into the sand xx

Alex Perry Charity Gala – Part1
What I Wore…
On Friday night I attended the Alex Perry Charity Gala for the AEIOU Foundation.
And to the occasion I wore a beautiful, fairytale-like evening gown by Carla Zampatti.
Now in its sixth year, the Alex Perry Charity Gala for the AEIOU Foundation was held on Friday on the Rotunda Lawn, overlooking the Marina at Sanctuary Cove.
Alex Perry, also known as the ‘King of Couture’, is renowned for his spectacular evening gowns and whimsical red carpet glamour. Unveiling his Cuban Princess collection at the event, the night evoked simmering Havana – bright colours, floral prints and sequin embellishment – bringing his Cuban inspiration to life.
About The AEIOU Foundation
The AEIOU Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation in Queensland. It is an early education program for children, aged between two-and-a-half to five years, who have been diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

It was a wonderful evening – chatting with Mr Alex Perry; viewing his sensational Cuban Princess Collection; and most importantly supporting this great cause.
