A beautifully BAZAAR Wonderland

Take a look at these exclusive behind-the-scenes images from the April Edition of Harpers Bazaar out next week. Guest Creative Director Edward Coutts Davidson invited local designers to work with Australian icons, challenging them with some never-before-featured locations for the shoot. It was a huge production of incredible proportions with the end result (which I was privileged to see, thanks Harper's) a magnificent wonderland - enjoy this sneek preview...

Burberry highlights AW 2010

If you missed the live stream (hard for us Australian's blurry eyed at 3.30am) here are some highlights I screen grabbed as it posted live. Pin thin skinny pants with thigh high boots, precision tailored military jackets and loved the amazing silhouette of the shearling coats with oversized collars. The fur lined ankle boots made me think I may have to have a wintery holiday this Christmas.

Pamela loves Camilla and Marc

Camilla and Marc met New York jewellery designer Pamela Love in NYC last year and it proved to be a perfect match. The pairing worked together on a stunning collection for Camilla and Marc - a complimentary addition to their store in Paddington, Sydney. Camilla and I agree this gold claw cuff is the standout piece.

Chanel event with Clare

Clare Alstin (Style Me Romy's new contributing Fashion Editor) joined me at the Chanel show in Randwick, Sydney on Tuesday night. Following the show, we deliberated over our top five fashion moments of the night...

Clare: I loved the rustic Chanel stable setting; it completely recaptured Lagerfelds's country barnyard scene that was erected during the Paris shows last season.

Romy: Yes Spring-Summer 2010 ready to wear show, unfortunately minus one Lily Allen.

C: Clogs? love or loathe they are set to make a comeback next season, what did you think of them Rom?

R: A little heavy for me but a perfect compliment to the collection.

Clare and I

C: Loved the tweed jacket with black ruffle collar, this is my piece of the season to dress down with a plain tee and jeans.

R: Agreed, also the evening dress with the floor-length chiffon skirt - sheer elegance.

C: I'm not usually someone who enjoys eveningwear but yes the assymetrical cream and black ribbon dress makes me want to indulge.

C: In keeping with the French, Kym Ellery's showed us her rainbow selection of cigarettes which has us in stitches.

R: She was just off the plane from Paris and exuding a certain je ne sais quoi don't you think?

C: Yes! And her latest collection for RAFW sounds like it's going to be amazing.

Its hard to stay fashionable with temperatures below zero, but New York's Fall Fashion Week 2010 from all reports was a celeb fueled fashion frenzy despite a slight trip up from Agyness Deyn.

Show callers

Natalia Vodianova was back and walking the runway this season and it's always so exciting to see her. The first time I met Natalia was in Amagansett, New York and she was just pregnant with her first son (pictured below). She made lunch for us (in the extreme heat) in only a G-string. What's not to love?
