Mad Men Tea Party

One of my gorgeous girlfriends celebrated her birthday on the weekend with a Mad Men inspired tea party. Such a beautiful day (with the exception of a few rain drops), it was full of bubbles, cupcakes, sandwiches and lovely ladies!

I've been wanting to try a red lip for some time now and thought this would be the perfect occasion. So off I went to visit the girls at the MAC counter. The result... MAC Ruby Woo, a matte retro style lipstick. As I'm not a frequent wearer of lipstick (I prefer gloss) it took me 10-15 minutes to perfect my lips the next day... it's hard to believe those MAC girls can glide it on in seconds.

My fur stole is from Rose & Ruby - two Australian designers who sadly no longer exist. This is just one of the many beautiful items I own from their collections, which were all lovingly made in Australia from French laces and Italian silks.

Ruby Woo how I love you so!
