Lady in Blue

A short and sweet post to end this week of BusinessChic to show how colour blocking completely lifts a work ensemble. Do it, in blue!

Just a heads up that while my LBD project posts will go live on Sunday as always – I’m going to take a break from blogging. I’ve been blogging daily for some time now and need a break from this space but you can always catch me on Twitter or Facebook or if you need to drop me a line cheryl[at]businesschic[dot]com[dot]au ! Hope to see you there!

Hey BusiChic, Have you ever rocked up to work wearing the same thing as a colleague? My old workplace was just up the road from a Herringbone shop and y0ou could always tell when they had just had a sale because all of us would show up to work in the same shirts! Today’s BusiChics [...]

Gosh Sydney, you really do have better weather! I think that I photographed today’s almost summery BusiChic on a day that the weather was veritably arctic back home. What struck about today’s workwear ensembel was how the beaded skirt and ribbon-backed shoes weren’t items I’d expect to see in an office. However as the ensemble [...]

Another post from sunshine-y Sydney! As much as I love Sydney, I always feel a little disoriented and find myself slinking into laneways that remind me of Melbourne. I was in one such laneway waiting for coffee when I spied Laura’s fresh and fab dress from Cue brightening up the laneway and dashed out to [...]

Greetings BusiChic, I hope that you had a great weekend! From the low temperatures and heavy downpours we had down here in Melbourne, I think it’s safe to say that the cold has set in! Normally, I’d like to match the style I feature here to the weather, however I am having to find a [...]

The greatest thing about fashion week is the opportunity to meet and catch up with other bloggers as I’ve already shown here and here. Nikki from Styling You is another blogger who I was lucky enough to get to spend some time with during the week and so naturally I had to photograph her stylin’ [...]

Photographer chic at MBFWA

Dearest BusiChic, While attending fashion shows might sound glamorous, the truth is that folks like me are in the less glam position of sitting in the media riser. Wait that sounds too kushy – usually the photographers are sandwiched together, some even kneeling throughout whole shows in order to get the best shots of models [...]

There is a lot that designers can do with print, like using a pattern that will help enhance the figure of the wearer, [...]

Greetings BusiChic! If you are reading this post in the search for sartorial inspiration for you everyday, you might also share my appreciation for a good suit. Such is the case with Mitchell, whom I photographed at the end of a very long day at Australian Fashion Week. What caught my eye was Mitchell’s commitment [...]
