A Nightingale On Ice!

Yesterday we took our upcoming winter range 'The Librarian' out for an ice skate with Moustache Magazine! Let it be known that hilarity ensued.

Now you may have to wait a few months to see the finished product, but here's a little preview of our brave model Faith in action!

Thanks to the lovely team from Moustache Magazine and the incredibly helpful staff of Iceworld for letting us walk on the ice...in heels.

Just a few weeks to go till 'The Librarian' is released!

Keep an eye for more news soon!

We've been busy!

The team here at Alice Nightingale have been a little silent over the past few months, with good reason too! The Librarian, our new winter collection is coming together as we speak!

Launching at the start of March throughout Australia & New Zealand, it's a lovely mix of velvet's, melton wool's, soft cottons and silky sateen's. We can't wait to show it off!

As the month goes on we'll be posting photos from various shoots on our facebook page and instagram feed so you can catch up on all the backstage action!

P.S Stockist enquiries are still welcome, email us (hello(at)alicenightingale.com) for the lookbook!

Stay tuned for more exciting news in the next few weeks!

Sunshine Tour!

The wonderful OPSM Sunshine Tour touched down at Robina Town Centre yesterday with brilliant results!

I was invited along to see the newest additions to OSPM stores and have a peek at Versace’s new line. As a pale skinned, indoors type I was pleasantly surprised at just how much good a trip to an ice cream van and a little bit of sunshine can do!

It was such a great day out and I’m so impressed by the new look Versace range. Each pair has an elegance that compliments every outfit! Those of us with a rounder face can rejoice in their lovely cat-eyed additions that have the perfect amount of angular features to even out the look. Here’s a peek at their range-

First up, my personal Favourite; which I’m dubbing the ‘Cat Eye’ (seen here on local Cathy Wren). This is the smallest style of the range, perfect feminine and rather classy. I matched this with the Poppy dress from my upcoming summer 2012 range and I can just picture a cocktail with friends finishing off this look!

The amazingly named Lannie Valentine from Brisbane has such a fresh look in this rectangular pair. Versace has hit the mark here! The tortoiseshell is so light and effortlessly chic!

Next up, looking very stylish on Elaine Fang, is a great look for summer. So light, with a retro feel these are great for guys and gals who live for summer!

Here’s a beautiful mum we met yesterday at Robina who had previously had trouble finding glasses, just like me, for her round face. The OPSM stylists had her in this pair of Versace’s quick smart! Doesn’t she look amazing!

Not only did the lucky locals impress me with their posing abilities, the OPSM team blew me away with their styling talent and sunny, summer attitudes! These guys are too nice. So a big thank you to the amazing crew for showing me around and letting me meet the ever stylish locals!

Now here’s the next step in the tour, head over to facebook to receive $50 off a brand new pair of sunglasses from OPSM! While you’re there, check out the locals we met and vote for your favourite look on the Sunshine Tour Book!

Stay tuned for news on my summer collection!
