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.

Gorgeous photos of Alex Perry’s Cuban Princess runway show coming soon… xx

Uptown Twirl Illustrations

In just over a month it will be the 1st birthday of Uptown Twirl – with my initial post being made on July 10th 2010. This realisation put me in quite a reflective mood.

I have spent this afternoon thinking back through my past year – the amazing experiences I have had (many a direct result of Uptown Twirl); how far my site has come; and my aspirations for it in the future. There are so many exciting things that will be happening on Uptown Twirl in the coming months and I cannot wait to share them all with you!

In the meantime though, while I was looking back through the hundreds of images I have accumulated for numerous posts, I came across some of my favourite illustrations. I created many of these illustrations to accompany articles and often times just because the subjects were so exquisitely beautiful (i.e. my favourite perfume – Coco Mademoiselle – which also remains probably my personal favourite illustration).

So these are some of my favourite illustrations from the past year… which one is yours? xx
