Behind Every Great Woman is a Fabulous Handbag

I am not sure who came up
with that quote but lets not
concentrate on detail, we all
know its true!
The last bastion of accessorising, your outfit just doesn't
come together without a
great handbag.
And that is why we are absolutely chuffed to welcome
Louenhide to Fashions on
Parade for 2015.

LOUENHIDE is emerging as a
one of Australias favourite
fashion and accessories labels.
The brand is easily recognised
by their range of signature
handbags in classic designs
coupled with vibrant colour
palettes.
They are passionate and committed to creating products
that marry their customers
wants and needs with classical
and fashion-forward designs.
In 2014, Louenhide expanded
the label to include jewellery
and fashion, and the results
are just as dazzling as one of
their signature bags.

They have been clever in their

approach so no matter your
shape or size a Louenhide
fashion piece fits beautifully
and is timeless for many seasons to come.
Being local and with a popular
Paddington store, Louenhide
jumped at the chance to support this years event and I
know that youll show your
gratitude by visiting the store
or the website:
louenhide.com.au to start
making your Christmas list!
But hey?! Did you ever need
an excuse for a new handbag?

Fashion For When the Beach Beckons

IdleBirds UPF50+ fashion
collection is turning up the
heat by changing the way we
look at covering up in the sun
forever.
This local Brisbane brand
offers a touch of luxury that
can be worn everyday, with
the added benefit of UPF50+
protection - something previously only available in a not
particularly fashionable rash
shirt.

IdleBirds clothes offer movement and versatility so that

you can flit between the
beach, poolside, school, the
park and the bar and still look
your best. And what girl
doesnt want that?!
The high quality UPF50+ fabrics are incredibly light weight
and easy to handle.
They feel luxurious against the
skin while still being able to
take the wear and tear of a
busy lifestyle.
No piece of clothing will ever
completely remove the need
for sunscreen, a hat or showstopping sunnies, but where
an IdleBird design is covering

you - you'll be ultimately protected.

Making their debut at the 2015
Fashions on Parade, Idlebird will
be showing us how to stay stafe
in the sun and still feel fun and
glamourous.
All the while taking away the
worry of sun protection in our
harsh Queensland sun.
A big thanks to Idlebird for
their support this year and we
cant wait to see you shining
bright on the runway.
To view all the gorgeous products, visit the website at:
www.idlebird.com and start
planning a stylish Summer.

Wham! Bam! Oh Amsterdam!

We all love something a little
different, that special little
twist. Enter Scotch & Soda.
Scotch & Soda loves to make
great garments that suit every
individual. They want people
to love their clothes and enjoy
wearing them. Scotch & Soda
products are rich in detail,
high quality but affordable.
Scotch Shrunk was added for
Spring Summer 2008. Literally
shrinking mens styles to little
brother or son sizes was a
completely new take on kids
wear, and Shrunk made waves
no-one at Scotch had even
dared dream of.

This success was soon followed by the launch of a

womens collection: Maison
Scotch entered the market
with the Spring/ Summer 2010
collection and it already accounts for a large part of the
companys continuous growth.

We finish up on the streets of

Cuba with a fearsome warrior.
Get ready for summer its

Inspired by a Summer Lifestyle

Want to feel beautiful without
all the fuss?
If you havent come across
Bella Lido, youve been living
under a rock and youve been
missing out on serious style
without sacrificing comfort.
BELLA LIDO... Italian for
beautiful beach encapsulates
a unique, handcrafted collection of elegant flowing clothing, reminiscent of long summer days spent at the beach &
warm summer evenings.
The bella lido range, designed
by Claire Lonergan, on the
picturesque Sunshine Coast
has been carefully crafted for
women who enjoy casual
comfort with an edgy class &
style synonymous with her
range.

Included within the collection

is a wonderful array of fashionable footwear and accessories that compliment the
range perfectly.
The inspiration for the label is
derived from Claires love of
the beach environment and
the lifestyle she is so fortunate
to live on the Sunshine Coast,
Queensland.
Is there any wonder that
Claire is so inspired by her
surroundings ?!
Within the bella lido range
you will find a collection of
soft dresses, tops, basics, kaftans & beach staples made
from the softest of rayons,
cottons and jersey.

Claire is also responsible for

the glorious print designs - the
beautiful, bright, vibrant tones
and stunning pattern combinations are what makes the bella
lido range so spectacular.
Each individual item of clothing in the bella lido range is
hand finished and the fabric
screen printed.
This results in variances in the
colour and finish of each piece
making every item unique &
original to the wearer.
Enjoy Claires beautiful designs
as they come down the catwalk, and each year they are a
crowd favourite.

Claire direct on 0404 018 767

Sun-Kissed and Fabulous For Summer

I love it when something becomes a thing.
Like back when any clothing
item related to sun protection
was of the block colour and
boring kind so basically we
just ignored it and more often
then not fried in the sun.
That was not a good thing.
So very happy to say that
looking great while still staying
safe in the sun is now most
definitely a thing. A very good
thing!

A big welcome to the fun in

the sun market and Fashions
on Parade to Sunsoaked.
Sunsoaked is all about protecting yourself in style from
the damaging and ageing effects of the sun. Their pieces
offer the ultimate sun protection with a UPF 50+ rating
whilst giving you the luxury of
Italian fabric. Bellisimo!
With a collection of gorgeous
swim coordinates, in exclusive
prints and stunning solids they
will have you well covered.

From swim tops to shorts, skirts

and coordinated swimwear, the
range from Sunsoaked is carefully
constructed and endlessly interchangeable.
Allowing to you create customised
looks to suit your unique needs
and tastes no matter what your
style.
Shop online at any time at
sunsoaked.com.au and browse
through their beautiful collection
and get ready to hit the beach.
Welcome aboard Sunsoaked and
cant wait to see those beautiful
designs at the big parade.

Dynamic Duo Keeping You on Your Toes

Yet another newcomer to the
Fashions on Parade stable, abi
& joseph , we are excited to
get a glimpse of this beautiful
range of activewear.
The abi and joseph journey
started in Perth Australia in
2006 with a search for a
change from the ill-fitting,
mass marketed abundance of
stretch clothing and exercise
wear with neon colours, blazing logos and sporty stripes.
Abi, an ex-dancer and former
Pilates instructor and studio
owner, wanted to find clothing that could be worn for
Yoga and Pilates that crossed
over into everyday wear that
inspired her to maintain her
active lifestyle.

A relocation to Brisbane Australia in late 2012 and a vision

to take the abi and joseph
philosophy beyond the Yoga
and Pilates community brings
us to today and a multifunctional range that covers
everyone from the daily runner to the gym enthusiast, to
the Yoga and Pilates devotee
as well as lifestyle pieces that
ensure optimal comfort for
travel and relaxation.
From runner tanks, to perfectly cut Pilates pants, to
throw over knits, abi and
joseph has pieces to inspire
every woman to lead an active
lifestyle.

The collections feature beautiful, feminine styles and unique

prints.
Made with only the best natural and technical performance
fabrics, abi and joseph design
stylish and comfortable active
wear pieces to complement a
womans busy life taking her
from every day activities to
work out and back again.
Take a look at this exciting
activewear label and treat
yourself to something a little
bit different from the usual
gym gear.

Lord Mayors Fund Driving Local Initiative

Fashions on Parade are very
fortunate to have the support
of the The Lord Mayor's Suburban Initiative Fund through
The Gap Ward for 2015.
The Fund supports community projects that build stronger
communities in Brisbane and
we are delighted to be recognised as such a significant
community event.
Projects must contribute to
the Brisbane vision, by helping

to achieve the aspiration to be

a friendly and safe, active and
healthy, clean and green or
vibrant and creative city.
I guess we fit the vibrant and
creative vibe!
A big thank you to the Lord

for Fashions on Parade 2015.
Their support is very much
appreciated.

Urban Hot Shot Wields Gavel for Auction Fun

We love shopping, raffles,
shopping, prizes, and more
shopping.

Pity the poor fellow who gets

in between two girls fighting
for the same prize!

So put all that together with a

little bit of healthy competition and get us girls fighting
over prizes and shopping and
it all makes for a fun auction
to be held on the big day.

Phil Broome of Urbane Property Agents at Paddington is

that guy. Look out Phil!
Kicking off after the fashion
parade itself, Phil will bring his
auctioneer expertise to the
stage auctioning some fantastic prizes to lucky winners.

Another big thanks to Daniel

Argent and the team at Urban
Property for coming on board
as a Gold Sponsor for this
years event. Thank you!
So remember girls, take it
easy on Phil during the auction but I cant wait to see
what great fun it will be!

The Boys are Back in Town

The Fashion Parade is sorted,
the afternoon tea is ready to
go, youre all frocked up...now
to the important bit, bubbles!
Dont worry ladies, our team
of superheros have finished
training and are ready to go.

Faster than a speeding bullet, a talent for spotting a

thirsty girl from three tables
away and able to wear a
waiters apron like nobodys
business, these boys are our
lifesavers.
And guess what? They are
Dads and volunteers from
our school community who
each year, spend their time
and considerable efforts
making sure our ladies glasses are topped up and we
want for nothing.
Just another reason to love
our school community!

Coordinator Nathan and the

team do a lot of set up before
the big event to make sure
everything drinks related runs
smoothly and all those bottles
of bubbles are on ice and
ready to arrive at your table
chilled to perfection.
A big, big thank you to all our
waitstaff for volunteering their
time, we would be quite literally lost without you, or at the
very least, quite parched.
Be gentle ladies!

support from our local community.
So we felt terrible to find that
we had misrepresented one of
our sponsors fantastic prizes a
little wrong.
Terrible, I know, but we are
here to make it right.
In our last newsletter, we
noted that Pizza Capers at
Enoggera had donated a $600
prize voucher.
We only then went and forgot
the other two $300 vouchers
that they are donating as well!

There was just too much pizza

goodness and perhaps I was dreaming about the delicious pizzas available from the team at Pizza Capers
at Enoggera.
Basically I heard $600 and pizza in
the same sentence and pretty much
slipped right into dream mode.
Now I am told that Darren from
Pizza Capers Enoggera is a friendly
guy who will forgive me for this
little error but just to be sure, I will
probably make a few trips to the
team and make sure relationships
arent irreparably damaged,
Ill probably buy pizza on these visits
just to make sure, its just the kind
of gal I am.

So to be clear, Darren and the team

at Pizza Capers Enoggera have very
kindly donated a $600 voucher
AND two $300 vouchers.
Pizza and this level of generosity,
couldn't it get any better? I think
not!
Thanks guys!

A Final Thank You for Fabulous People

Youve heard us mention over and over again the great support we get from local sponsors but there really is a lot that goes into
getting Fashions on Parade up and running to the high standards that it is has reached over the last 12 years. There are so many
people to thank, including our major sponsors. The best thing that we can do is to support all sponsors where we can and keep
our local business thriving.
Also thank you to our wonderful school community, all the Mums, Dads, Grandparents and Carers who make St Finbarrs such a
wonderful place not only for our children but to build lifelong friendships built on a shared focus on our school.
Cant wait to do it all again next year. Bring on 2016!
