Platypus Shoes -My sneaker Story

Posted on by

It had been a rollercoaster of a week, that came with the Highest High’s  but also the Lowest- botton-of-the-barrel-scraping- Lows… and quite literally.  It seems my penchant for stomping around in heels all day, everyday had finally got the better of my clumsy bambi legs, and I’d managed to fall over 3 times in 3 days consecutively.  And so, with some very beat up knees and a wildly bruised ego,  PLATYPUS SHOES‘ invitation to be part of their ‘Our Sneakers, Your Story’ campaign could NOT have come any sooner. So here is the challenge; to wear nothing but their sneakers for 5 days straight.

Here is a 5 day outfit diary with my sneakers of choice, NEW BALANCE Windbreaker 574′s -available at Platypus Shoes.  Fall and ego bruising tally to follow…

DAY ONE:

It’s day 5! And thankfully Friday… And I am happy to report there was not a single scratch, graze or embarrassing fall all week.  Big Thank you to Platypus Shoes for giving me a reason to do this challenge! And to New Balance for making some pretty sweet shoes!!  And an even bigger thank you to the darling/generous/talented/friendly photographer,  Michelle Tran, for putting up with my week of ‘stunted growth’ insecurities and being there to take my photo everyday.   Now let’s all go out and buy more shoes~!!!!

I recently had the pleasure of styling and featuring in Kinoak’s AW13 Campaign.  It was an amazing day of playing dress ups with Amie’s collection, and I’m so thrilled by the results!  Shot by my partner in crime Michelle Tran and Caroline Massola on painting my face.  Check out the shoot and Q&A on the very talented Amie Darragh featured in Pages Digital.  Thank you for a great day of fine threads KINAOK!!!

Couldn’t help but share some behind the scenes shots from a shoot I styled for OK! Magazine, with the lovely boy’s from the TV Show, Offspring.   The Everleigh Bar made for the most enticing back drop for the shoot… unfortunately we were all very professional and didn’t succumb to the temptation of drinking cocktails all afternoon!
