PostHeaderIcon Australian International Motor Show 2010


While us Luscious ladies may not always be the most knowledgeable when it comes to cars, we do know how to look good in one!

With the upcoming Australian International Motor Show as our inspiration, it’s time to grab your headscarf, Grace Kelly sunglasses and a handsome driver!

The Motor Show is an annual event in two of Australia's major cities, Sydney and Melbourne, with the latest cars, and automobile concepts to grace the market.

Each year new innovations are unveiled by some of the world’s greatest manufacturers of the industry.

There are loads of products and activities on offer at the exhibition for a whole family of interests so be sure to pop in and see where the future of motoring is heading!

Full details can be found at the official Australian International Motor Show website.

They also have a page on Facebook so you can keep track of news.

This year, the show runs from the 15-24 October 2010 in Sydney (and in 2011, it will be held in Melbourne from the 1-10 July).

To help get you in the mood, we have put together some photographs of gorgeous vintage cars and fashion. So be sure to check out our photo gallery!

 

  

PostHeaderIcon Luscious loves...Award season

It's that time again, when the designers, stylists, make-up artists, plastic surgeons, TV hosts and publicists go into a frenzy: British and American film award season.

Whilst we realise that film and TV awards run all year 'round internationally, those Americans in particular really put on the most extravagent lovefest. And we LOVE it too.

PostHeaderIcon L’Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival 2010

To our Luscious Melbourne ladies, it’s time to pull out the Anna Wintour sunnies and your best LBD, L’Oreal Fashion Festival is upon us!

Between the days of the 14th and 21st of March, this marvelous city will be boiling over with hot frocks, sharp designers and fashion, marvelous fashion!

Known for showcasing some of Australia’s hottest brands and up-and-coming designers, the L’Oreal Festival is a must for lovers of all things chic.

What sets this festival apart from others is that it is not simply a set of runway shows for society’s fashion elite, various functions are put on through the city such as public parades at Central Pier in Docklands and Federation Square, breakfast business seminars and beauty workshops at the Sofitel Melbourne on Collins Street and, naturally, after parties galore!

The best part? As long as you can outrun your neighbour in your Jimmy Choos, anyone can purchase tickets to shows and be a fashion critic for the night.

Check out the full LMFF 2010 Program or for a change of pace, try some these other options offered by the festival.

Sidewalk Shows
Alongside the runway shows, The City of Melbourne and the Herald Sun newspaper will be supporting local designers such as Kookai, Review and Forever New in hosting sidewalk shows throughout the festival of their upcoming Autumn/winter seasons free in Federation Square.

This is a fantastic way to see what will be hitting the stores near you and where to rush and buy the next ‘it’ dresses before everyone else!

Beauty Workshops
As the proud sponsor of the festival, L’Oreal Paris (alongside Marie Claire magazine) will be hosting a series of beauty and make-up workshops in the Grand Ballroom of the Sofitel on Collins Street. 

Get tips from industry professionals on autumn make-up trends that suit your complexion, and the best application techniques.

Tickets are only $35 and you even get a goodie bag of Marie Claire and L’Oreal products worth $100 (we all love a fashion freebie!).

For further information visit the official LMFF website  and book tickets. No doubt we will see you there, goodie bag in hand and eyes on the runway!
