Loving the Laneway!



The William Street Laneway Festival was on Saturday as part of the Paddington Alive Festival - this was held during Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival. It was such a great initiative for William Street which is one of my favourite style destinations. William St is filled with cute stores, high end designers, jewels, bespoke shoe's, jackets and hats! It's got a cool relaxed vibe teamed with cutting edge clothes! Love! here's the festival through my eyes....





The Corner Store owned by Belinda Seeper - yummy edgy fashion in there! Def. worth a peek

Fashion Hound!

I LOVE this video..it just goes to show you fashion inspiration is everywhere&it's not always in glossy magazine and expensive designer labels! Dogs are true masters of individual style, acceptance and strength. Dogs have got it sorted if you ask me and they can teach us so much! They keep it real and look so cool doing it! Would we bounce back as well as 'Tiny Tim' in the video?
Makes you think huh! Woof!

'Fashion fades, style is eternal'!


How is it that you can look back at these photo's of Mick and Bianca Jagger from the 60's&70's and they seem even more chic and cool today! Because they did things their way! They really are a testament to great personal style - wearing what suits you, feeling good and portraying that unashamed cool without even trying..unaware that you are creating a great fashion moment..that's true style..it's not about what is in fashion and who's wearing what label..it's about wearing things your way and working it!

It's about loving you, being who you want to be and telling your story through style.
Celebrate style and celebrate you!
YSL said it best, 'Fashion fades, style is eternal'.
Make your own fashion moments and create a style and story that is uniquely you!

'To be a rock and not to roll'

Cheers Love Chile!

Be like the Butterfly!

This beautiful picture taken by my Step Dad Paul made me think a lot about freedom and opportunity. Does the Butterfly struggle to fly and find flowers? Somehow they just know they exist and their wings will take them there!
So be like the butterfly and never ask why
Just try.....

You never know you just might find you can fly!

Walk free

Life is about chasing your dreams, but I got to be honest sometimes it's F*cking hard to catch the buggers!!
As I build my dream/ my brand& face all the challenges that come with it.. i have to keep reminding myself of how far I've come and look and all the cool things I have done so far otherwise I may go insane! :) This picture above (of my stunning friend Tiaan) was taken at the fashion fundraiser I did last year with The Butterfly Foundation http://www.thebutterflyfoundation.org.au/
'The Night of the Butterfly'. It was 6 months of blood, sweat, tears and feathers. :)
I had a wonderful, albeit small team to help me but it was all my vision, my story, my heart - I did it and I surprised the hell out of myself and everyone around me. When you have those times where you feel that it's all a blur and really hard to get to where you want to get to..look at what you have done so far...pat yourself on the back and walk free from your worries..
You did it then, you can do it again.

Walk free this Wednesday xx

You gotta giggle!

Do you have a friend or a few who whenever you hang out with them you forget about being serious and just laugh your arse off..well I'm lucky to have a few and man I cherish them...
Sometimes life kicks you in the arse and to be honest there really isn't much you can do except find the fun, brush it off and just laugh...i learnt that lesson again on the weekend..and my friend Karen just started laughing at my misfortune
(my bag was stolen&then i got to the airport and realised i had booked the wrong flight!) at first I was a little taken a back by her laughing but as i look back she was doing me a massive favour&she taught me a massive lesson - because what else could i do..I may as well get happy, laugh and let it go! And what do you know my bag showed up a few days later!
There is always a lesson and i am so grateful to have some funny friends to see me through

BATTLE SCARS




I have just finished reading the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and my god is it an amazing book! It really resonated with me and made me realise a lot of things about life and chasing your dreams..the Author refers to it as 'One's personal legend'.

He also talks about 'beginners luck'..when you start to follow your dreams/your personal legend you will always experience beginners luck, something great happens, it works - to let you know you are on the right path and give you a little lift..but as you proceed things won't be so easy and there will be many challenges along the way and you will feel like giving up, I know I have, many times - perhaps it's the Universe asking you how much you want this?

It will be tough, there will be battles to fight, you will be wounded and wear the scars..but it's those scars that are the true testament to your courage and how hard you fought for what is rightfully yours - if you could just hold on. The reward will be your treasure and it may not be what you expect....

So welcome your challenges, fight through the fog and stay strong and focused on what your heart desires. Wear you scars with a knowing smile. Keep fighting sexy soldiers!

Check out the quote from the book below...


'Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself.
And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams'.

LITTLE DRUMMER GIRL

This is the cover of my look book for my new collection
'Battalion of the Brave'.
The shirt is a vintage scout shirt that belonged to my Mumma and the velvet shoulder pads are part of the new range.
I love this image so much! I feel like it says alot about who I am and what is intrinsic to me.

I feel it shows what I hope to make women feel, while inadvertently doing the same for myself. It shows softness, femininity and a childlike quality yet it is sexy, sultry and strong. Everything I hope to be as a women and everything I wish for all women out there.

The model is my beautiful and intelligent friend Michelle - she's so humble and elegant yet crazy beautiful and doesn't even know it - which is kinda nice that she doesn't realise her power but hopefully she does after reading this! She's a real woman and I think her beautiful energy shines through in the image.

As women, we need to find that perfect balance of still being soft, feminine and vulnerable but not a push over...I think women need a bit of grunt, masculinity and a take no prisoners attitude, we have to love and believe in ourselves - we need to guard our hearts and fight for what we believe in and most importantly honour what we want and deserve.

Pave your own path and beat that mother fucking drum however you see fit girl! Turn up the volume and Sing your song!

Happy Monday xx

BATTALION OF THE BRAVE

Ah life...there's ups and downs and sometimes we don't know the answer..what I do know is there is always a reason. It's a journey, life can be a battle and you gotta fight...through it all you have to be a soldier of honour, take care of yourself, guard your heart and do what is right for you regardless of who is fighting you. That's been my discovery over the last few weeks..oh yeah there's been some shots fired and I've taken a bullet..but through it all I have learnt that I have to honour myself. These lessons have become my ammunition and a big inspiration for creating my 2nd collection 'Battalion of the Brave' - it's about being a strong woman, a fighter, breaking through the battles and just quietly looking super cool and sexy while doing it! Soldier Chic!

Feel Free to join my army..
'Battalion of the Brave' is recruiting now Baby!

Much love xx

f**king fighter

Meet my new style crush...Jennifer Herrema...Front woman for Royal Trux and now RTX, songwriter, producer, artist, renegade and mother F**king bad ass cool fighter chick. She's tough, she's bold, one of a kind and she couldn't give a toss what you think. She's all about being true to herself and wearing what feels good, not what is supposedly cool or on trend. She's found a vibe, a look, a story and a style that works for her and it's speaks volumes...she's rockin out doin her own thing and it's 'Totally dope'. She's been through some tough times - darkness and drugs..but she's fought on and stayed true to what she loves and paved her way back on to her path. She's strong and that makes her so sexy!


Her style influences are clear...
Part skater
Part unashamed rocker(she totally reminds me of my beloved Robert Plant)
She's GLUNGE (glamour fused with grunge)
The other part is American Indian/Daniel Boon with a dash of designer - she loves her LV..but always adds her signature Raccoon tail and distressed denim.
For me she looks F**king cool, free and fun and now she's been commissioned to do a line of one off jeans for Volcom. I WANT!

J'adore Jennifer. Rock on girl xx

THROUGH THE WAR

Man sometimes life throws some bombs at you and part of being a soldier is fighting through the war! The best weapon - love and letting go! I've had a big lesson on this over the last week - on something that really isn't life changing but I felt like I'd been shot and lost a limb in battle! My internet has been down for a week!!!!! And it's amazing how attached we get to things...I felt like I was dying! Silly really! But a valuable lesson..there was nothing I could do I just had to surrender, let it go, wave the white flag! Maybe it was the universe also getting me to slow down. Either way I had no choice but to let go and focus on other things...like being grateful for what I DO have and what I CAN change..so I focused on doing the things I love and giving lots of love to my friends and family...and this morning...it's back..the war is over and I won!

What can you let go off this week?

(By the way the pic is another piece from my new collection - the 'Lieutenant Liberty Ripped Army tee' - will show you full look book soon) x

SOLDIER ON!



I am so excited to say I have finished my second Love Chile collection and she's a beauty!
(That's one of the look book pics above!)
I am really am proud of it and more importantly proud of myself. It took a lot of work to get it done - I had to learn new skills, dig deep into my own pocket, sew and sew until my fingers bled, search for months for hard to find items, including the amazing Vintage army shirts above from the 60's and the 70's, plus I had some personal stuff on my plate that has been challenging to say the least. But despite all of that I didn't give in like I have before, I kept pushing through and 'Soldiering on' -Ironically if you've read my previous blog posts, the collection didn't start out with a strong Military feel, I wanted to focus more on Hindu Goddessess...but perhaps Subliminally as I was fighting through stuff the collection came up to meet me and we changed course together. Either way I didn't question it, I just rolled with it and the result for me is a beautiful outward creative expression of what has been going on for me inwardly and ultimately is the message I want to pass on to other women. Stay true to you, don't give up, believe in yourself and just keep soldiering on..keep on fighting baby! Don't look for anyone to rescue you, be your own soldier. We all have our challenges and I am so in awe of a young fighter friend of mine Jess -
she calls herself the WELLNESS WARRIOR
and boy is she one hell of a fighter!
I say Thank you to all the kick arse chicks out there who keep on fighting and I say Thank you for all the lessons that have made me stronger.

I salute you !

SOLDIERS OF STYLE

I am obsessed with American Indians and this picture was a big inspiration for my first collection. I just love how they express their loves, life and beliefs and take it to the nth degree - they wear it all and are true to what they love - so cool! And I totally dig the colours, textures, attention to detail and artistry in which it is created and expressed - a true style statement! And a visual display of bravery, being true to oneself and being a fighter! Rock on!



This is what has totally got me hooked right now...army/military/anything with a uniform/badge/medal!! Yes the colours ROCK and I love the embellishment but again I think it's the fighter/bravery vibe..it's very Love Chile. I want women to feel strong and brave. Wear their badges of honour with pride! I discovered the most insane vintage army shirts from the 60's/70's yesterday which I will be embellishing and adding to my new collection. They are killer! Some even have the name tags still on - I love that you can sense their story and their journey. Plus they will look super cool with all my shoulder pads, feather and chain pieces.
Can't wait to show you!

Achtung Baby! xx

INSPIRE ME

I have been working hard on my new collection over the last few weeks, sewing, gluing, playing with chains, rhinestones, tassles and velvet and I'm almost done. It got me thinking alot about inspiration and why we love what we love. It's such a personal thing and from my point of view it's really cool to see what's in my head and my heart, the things that are resonating with me right now come to life in my new collection. I am still deciding on a name for the collection
(I'm thinking 'Shamansim' - a shaman is someone who follows their own path and listens to their heart and intuition, ultimately healing others)..do you like it?
That's ultimately what inspires me, people who are unique, that rock out to their own beat and are not dictated to by trends/fads..don't get me wrong I LOVE fashion, but I like it my way and like to make it work for me. I'm big on mood boards, they are a great way to express what's intrinsic to you. The process of making them is SO therapeutic to me - it really stirs me up and inspires me. I always do them for my designing but I've started making them as gifts or canvas's for the home&for friends...the picture above is one I made for my dear friend Arrnott - I picked all the things he loved and put it on canvas. I loved it so much I wanted to keep it! Being a fellow visual creature - Arrnott kept the bow - that really inspired him! The bright yellow contrast against the black and white really spoke to him
What speaks to you? Follow it and have fun with it!
Be inspired

FLY HIGH BUTTERFLY


(Abstract Butterfly artwork by my favourite artist Alan Aldridge)

I was honoured and thrilled to attend the Butterfly Foundation Chrysalis Ball last night.
A room filled with love, life stories and hope. My label Love Chile has been connected with The Butterfly Foundation for a couple of years now and we created a fabulous fashion fundraiser together last year. I am super excited about creating more fundraising and awareness opportunities for them in the months and years to come. They are such an amazing organisation who are dedicated to supporting people who are suffering with eating disorders and negative self image www.thebutterflyfoundation.org.au
Having been there myself I know first hand how devastating these issues can be and indeed how misunderstood they still are.
The other element of the evening that really inspired me was the energy of not only the people in the room but in particular the wonderful women behind Butterfly. Created by one amazing lady, Claire Vickery, who had dealt with ED's first hand and decided to do something about it..to create a support base, a foundation that could make a difference...in spite of one particular naysayer who told her she would 'never get that up'..well she certainly showed him and indeed all of us what can be created when you have passion..that any dream you have really is possible!

The CEO of Butterfly, Christine Morgan, also made a beautiful speech and quoted one of my favourite pieces of writing by Nelson Mandela - I have it on my bedroom wall actually! So many of us are scared to fly, to show our true selves. Lack of self worth is a common factor with Eating Disorders, it certainly was for me..but Butterfly, like Love Chile is all about showing people how to find and spread their wings. Fly high Butterfly! I'll leave you will Mr Mandela...

'Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us
It is not just some of us, it is in everyone.
And, as we let our won light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear
Our presence automatically liberates others'

Original Sin


While digesting my RAFW experience and working through a mild case of CFF -
'Chronic Fashion Fatigue' - (mostly due to stupid shoes), I reflected on the shows, the stand outs and the leave outs! It was great to be a part of it and play in fashion land all week but not alot of shows really blew me away and I really resonated and agreed with an article written by Vogue Editor Kirstie Clements in yesterdays Sunday Telegraph, Kirstie said.


'A good show is more than just fashion - it's the casting of the models, the music, the styling, hair, make up, the pace, the build. It's a piece of theatre, that, when married with design ability, is just magical! It's when you remember why you were so enamoured with fashion in the first place'

So true!! Fashion should be a story, deep, layered, textured...have some guts -Camilla, Alex Perry, Ellery, Romance was born and new comer Elliot Ward Fear were my favourite story tellers this year. They danced to their own beat and we all should too. If you ask me it's a SIN not to, a 'SIN on originality' not be true to who you are and what you want to express to the world. Be like Bianca Jagger in the pic above and stand out from the crowd kids.

I love this quote

'Never compete
Never compare
Run your own race and soon others will be
Chasing you'

Mmmmmm Hmmmmmm! xx

To the Most beautiful Woman in the world


You are like

The sunniest of days

The prettiest of pictures

The warmest of hugs

And the sweetest of chocolate

You gave me life

You held my little hand

You gave me a voice and soft words to speak

You picked me up when I fell

You are not always right next to me

But you are forever in my heart

My dearest Mumma – you are a divine goddess

And I thank the Angels for sending me the brightest berry in the bunch! xx

NOW THIS IS HOW YOU TELL A STYLE STORY!


Romance was born would have to be one of my favourite labels..they are genius, such amazing story tellers. Their attention to detail, vision and amazing skill.
Alot of the shows at RAFW this week, while great haven't really moved me.
I didn't get to see the Romance show live but even just looking at these pictures astounds me! The don't follow trends, give a care to what people will think and the Industry is purring at their fashionable feet. I'm all for fashion that follows it's own beat and these guys are singing the song beautifully. Totally inspiring! They deserve every success and I don't think it will be long before they take over the world!

Viva la Romance was born xx

ANOTHER FEATHERY DREAM COMES TRUE!


My little Love Chile has been quite the young lady about town of late! It was so great doing my first show last year but I would never have dreamt that I would be invited to do another fantasy show - so fun and wild -only six months after my debut...but the Angels decided it was time yet again! Who am I to argue!

So for the last two weeks I have been glueing and sewing my fingers together a million times
(he he) as I hand made all my pieces for the most exciting fashion event!
The headline show at the Ivy White Party www.thewhiteparty.com.au.

The theme was Amazonia and was styled by the incredible Heather Cairns from
Tangent Magazine www.tangentmag.com




All the pieces from my new collection (which I haven't had time to finish yet!)
are accessories for clothes....
Embellished pin on shoulder pads
Body Chains
Double brooches dripping in chains that can be pinned anywhere
Jewellery for the hands, feet, ankles!
As well as some stunning customised vintage pieces

It's all about adding to what you have, a little bit of glitz to a tee, an embellished jacket shoulder when it takes your fancy, a body chain under a tux...instant glamour no matter your shape or size!

A big shout out to the legend that is Quentin Field for the killer pics! Thanks Q

Much love and feathers

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

It's true, it really is all you need! Of course love comes in many forms but the most important love of all is the love you have for yourself. You have to be your own best friend, be kind and gentle with your being, respect your soul, your 'perceived' imperfections and honour yourself. Take it from someone who didn't love themselves and ask me how different my life is now that I do. It's not an arrogant, obnoxious love it's about doing things that make you feel good, being true to who you are, saying no if you need to and creating experiences that make your heart sing!

My label Love Chile www.lovechile.com.au is all about this and honestly it grew out of a time when there was no love in my heart for myself& I consequently was making choices that hurt me. So now that I have seen the light using my label as a way to speak to women and share my journey is so exciting and important to me. I dream of making women all over the world love and respect themselves and be who they really want to be.

Now that I love myself my world is alive and my fashion dreams are coming true - I m making pieces that make me feel good, that I enjoy creating, that reflect my ideas and style and the industry is responding to that truth. Love Chile makes her 3rd exciting appearance at the Ivy White Party this Sunday night www.thewhiteparty.com.au in an Amazonian extravaganza catwalk parade - I have been working hard all week creating unique pieces I am truly proud of and I am so grateful for this opportunity to share them!

How could you show yourself some LOVE today? You never know what might happen if you do!

Heart, soul and rock n roll

LOVE Faye xx

STYLE SISTERS


On this Friday I wanted to give a little shout out to a special girl in my life - my sister Sarah! I guess my reason for doing so is that I want to express the importance about being grateful for what you already have in your life..not what you wish you had or think will make you happier once you get it...but what you have right now!

Sarah today I want you to know that I adore you more than the moon and the stars! I am beyond proud of you...always chase your dreams and always believe in yourself - cause I do!

I am so grateful that Sarah came into my life when I was 15 - she's my Auburn Angel (yes that's her REAL hair colour! Crazy right!) We have a wonderful connection and I can honestly say we have never had a fight...she is addicted to style like me (sorry Mumma!) and we share so many loves and passions - we just connect. Plus she's a tonne of fun and a little cheeky like me! I can totally be myself around her and never feel judged. I am beaming with pride about her - she is a go getter, focused and determined..a beauty therapist who is a global make up artist in the making and I have every faith she'll kick it on the world stage! Napolean who? Any was sis just wanted you to know what you mean to me.

Who in your life makes you feel like that..have you told them today? Bet they'd love to know!

Have a feathery friday

Everyday I have been taking time before my head hits the pillow to say Thank you! I say Thank you for all the things I am grateful for no matter how big or small. I say Thank you for my big wins and just as big a Thank you for the simple things like having an amazing family and beautiful friends!


I can't tell you firstly, how nice it feels to focus on the things that you truly are grateful for and see how blessed you actually are! But secondly how magical it is! I really believe that it's my sincere gratitude for what I already have that keeps bringing me more!


Try it.....say Thank you everyday and see what happens!!


And on that note...Thank you for reading my post

KARL IS COOL AS ICE

Ok so I seriously almost needed an ambulance after I saw this show on my favourite website wwww.style.com!! It was the most heartbreakingly original, cool (pardon the pun) and wonderful style story I have ever seen!!! The latest RTW Chanel show in Paris was an exquisite example of story telling and making dreams come true. Karl Lagerfeld actually dreamt about this show and without one thought of doubt or disbelief he bought it to life. He even had small icebergs bought in from the arctic circle - not even kidding!!! The models walked through water and the looks were so creative and original whilst still staying true to the Chanel aesthetic. There was the classic tweed teamed with faux fur, jewels that dripped off the models like icicles and even the signature Chanel bags were made to look like little ice cubes, so cool! (sorry!) - I also loved how you could see shades of Karl throughout the show - models wore rings on every finger some even dressed in a take on his signature white shirt, black tie and tux iconic combo. It was unashamedly from him.

I could seriously talk about this show all day - it's just the great story telling, originality and attention to detail that really blows me away - King Karl certainly knows how to tell a good story and that to me is what fashion should be about! Be original, have something to say and everyone will want to listen!

But for now, I still need that ambulance...hello 911 Im having a fashion heart attack!!
