Australia's Next Top Model Final Tonight!

I'm so excited to watch the final of Australia's Next Top Model. I think it's going to be so close. I can't decide between the girls so much that I haven't actually voted yet. I simply cannot pick one. Amanda, Sophie & Kelsey each have their strengths and weakness. Amanda is an all rounder - she can do both catwalk & photoshoot, and both commercial and high fashion. From memory she has won the most challenges of the girls and I would say she probably has the greatest chance of winning. Although, personally I find her a little boring looks wise and her personality a little flat. Sophie on the other has an enormous personality. Up until last week she was my fav top model after Kathryn, but I found her just too full of herself on the Harper's Bazaar shoot. However, the girl does have most amazing eyes, the determination and has definitely improved the most throughout the competition. And then there's Kelsey. I must say after not particularly liking her through the season, the girl has really grown on me. She always looks amazing in photoshoots, is determined but not cocky, and she isn't even that short! It will be really interesting to see who the public chooses to win. 

As a side note, it was great to see Harper's Bazaar Stylist, Christine Centenera, in action last week. I must say she was nothing like what I imagined. I was surprised by her bluntness. The girl in the pictures in the amazing outfits seems so much less opinionated and more easy going. But I guess that's how you have to be to survive in the fashion fashion industry...

Aussie Stylist Christine Centenera

Love these leopard boots!

Awesome Coat

What I would do for that skirt.....

Trackies teamed with fur and heels?

Need inspiration for an outfit? Look no further than stylist & fashionista Christine Centenera. I love the way she mixes mini dresses, ankle boots and coats for the ultimate on-trend look, but in a way that makes it look effortless. With Christine, it's all about the clothes. Hair and make-up are kept simple in order to give the clothes full effect. I find her style very wearable in the scheme of what it worn to the fashion shows. I'm not sure if I could get away with wearing trackies with a fur coat and heels, but I  think she can get away with it. It's great to see an Australian magazine stylist in the spotlight at the shows.

I get inspiration for my outfits from all over the place - characters in movies, the runway, magazine editorials, people I see on the streets, the odd celebrity etc. Lately, I've been inspired by Christine Centenera's ensembles at various fashion events. After doing a little research I found out that she is Australian, started working at Cosmopolitan Magazine and now splits her time working as a fashion director for Harper's Bazaar Australia and a freelance stylist and also DJ's from time to time. In other words, her outfits aren't the only impressive thing about her. She has encouraged me to try wearing baggy paints, to wear a sheer black top tucked into skinny trousers, experiment with emblished neckpieces, to use a white t-shirt as a layer under what would normally be an evening unfit to make it more casual for daytime wear and get some extra wear out of all those blazers and fur coats in my closest. I'm looking forward to see what she comes up with in the future and I will be keeping an eye open for editorials styled by her.
