“At 35, I know who I am, and having a 16 month old baby allowed me to grow up. I not only became a mum, I sort of became a woman. So I’m feeling a lot more like me now than I ever have.” -Shelley Craft

 

Chatting with Shelley Craft was pretty damn inspiring! We’ve seen her on Saturday Disney, travelling all over the world on The Great Outdoors, and making us laugh on Australia’s Funniest Home Videos – she is so grounded, bubbly and down to earth. You seriously just want to give her a hug, she’s so sweet.

Shelley and her partner, created the must have Aussie Fashion App on the iPhone/iPad - Hanger Nation.

Aprilia and I asked her a few questions about it, and love the fact that it has a store locator and the latest designer lookbooks!

“It’s been a year long challenge! We wanted it to be not just the first fashion app out there, but be one of the first big apps developed in Australia. Hanger Nation is the expression of what I love, something I could do to support & showcase the industry that I love, being Australian Fashion.

You never get to see the behind the scenes action, and being from the behind the scenes world, it’s a really nice thing to share. You can see the garments move, and not just still shots all the time. We will be filming more of this and adding it to our videos section on the website.

Travelling a lot in Australia and interstate, sometimes you can’t often find your favourite stores & I’m usually shopping in a mad hurry, so the store locator in the app was through necessity for me.”

 

Thanks Shelley!

The App is currently available for free!

Playing Dress Ups | Lace, White & Snake Print

Hi Lovelies! Here’s me playing dress ups again. How hot are these snake print heels? Absolutely comfortable and I have a slight obsession at the moment with anything reptile print, whether it’s croc or snake print.

As you know, I wear a lot of white. Where some girls lean more to black staples, I lean to white!

P.s. These sunnies have become my every day accessory! It’s LOVE.

Ever since I started thesydneygirl.com in April 2009, I’ve been following Erika’s awesome blog Fashion Chalet. When you’re new to the blog scene and not getting very many comments, you can imagine how special you feel when someone comments on your blog, especially someone who is obviously very busy but takes the time to comment on yours, and Erika was one of those people.

I’ve always admired her humbleness, and super awesome style – so I think it’s about time I shared her blog with you, if you haven’t seen it already – www.fashionchalet.net

I like how she thanks brands in her outfit posts – and being grateful is what I’m all about. So I thought I’d walk along the same path and do that too!

I am very grateful for the brands I work with, my amazing readers and the lovely comments you always leave me. Love you all!

Also I wanted to share with you an awesome competition Dragon Alliance is running on their facebook page. They are in search for someone RAD to join them at their exclusive parties throughout the year. Upload your best party picture to their facebook page. Click here for more details and head to the Dragon’s BFF tab.

P.s. I’m wearing Dragon sunglasses above – do you like them?
