Steak and Kidney

No, not some type of tres regurgitatable culinary delight  revolt, just a cute (kinda) knick-name for my new soon-to-be place of residency.

Yes, Fashion Falsehood is relocating. Hauling ass onto an abandoned rail road car and freight-hopping my way down to the big time mid-south with nothing more than a suitcase (or four) of clothes, an open mind and one hell of a determined streak.

This time 'round there's actually some legitimacy behind the reason for my lack of blogging. I'm living out of boxes at the moment, my computer is on the floor - not in a quirky New York loft kind of way - and I'm so effing disjointed/excited/nervous/nostalgic/ready to moesy right on up out of here and initiate phase two.

*A shoe closet seemed appropriate because that's what I can afford to live in based on a budget to square meter spatial  ratio. So if you have a sweet shoe closet, shoot me an email.

Vogue Online Shopping Night

If you haven't heard about Vogue's Online Shopping Night (#VOSN for you guys on Twitter), then you really, really need to get across this asap. Like literally, right now.

VOSN just launched at 5pm today and I'm currently doing some major multitasking. I'm painting my nails, buying sports wear at 20% off from Lorna Jane, sucking down a sugar free Red Bull, budgeting for a Sass & Bide neck piece and getting ready for tonight's Westfield Stylist's Apprentice crowning.

The girls from Klick PR got in touch with me about doing coverage for VOSN. In return I received an early heads-up about tonight's amazing deals on offer (no less than a 30 page PDF document full of them to be precise), and had the chance to interview Vogue Australia's new Online Editor, Felicity Loughrey on her view of  online shopping. Check back soon for the interview.

So there are a few things you need to be doing right now....

Firstly, head over to the Vogue Facebook page where they're streaming live coverage from The Hub. At present, Kirstie Clements, the Sass & Bide girls, Camilla Freeman-Topper and Ruby Rose are all sipping on bubbles in advance to their exclusive live interviews. They might even be announcing more deals so you need to be tuned in while you shop.

Secondly, head here to view a full list of all the retailers involved and what they've got on offer. 

Next, take a minute to assemble a plan of attack; what deals you're going to hit first, what goodies you want to score for free and what your budget-to-value ratio is. Some of the offers are on time restrictions so you have to be quick. 

Tweet your purchases using the #VOSN hashtag and follow Vogue's official VOSN twitter list, featuring yours truly.

Lastly, go grab a glass of wine, put on those PJs and apologise to your credit card/s in advance.

The Stylist's Apprentice: Brisbane

If you follow me on Twitter you may have seen my tweet about the mysterious box waiting for me on my desk at work last week. A brown paper box wrapped in red and white candy-cane string with a powder blue swing tag addressed to me had me instantly pouring over what it could be and who it could be from. I carefully opened it to find the cutest invite on earth!*

I told you it was cute! Swoon!

Turns out I've been invited to the crowning of the Westfield Stylist's Apprentice at a cute new restaurant/bar I've actually been meaning to check out!

I haven't RSVP'd because I really shouldn't be leaving the house or even my desk as my final week of uni ever fast approaches, but maybe if some other Brisbane bloggers can twist my arm I might just make a stylish exception.

So the question begs, who else is heading along? Would love to meet/meet up!

*This invite was especially adorable after pouring through millions of  RAFW invites at the start of May. Some were cutting edge (Dion Lee), beautiful (Camilla and Marc) and others were a little bit... wannabe? (Won't name names). However this invite definitely takes the cake for cute appeal.
