FASHION WEEKLY TALKS
Who, What, Wear. WORDS JESSICA LUNAN
The change of season calls for new trends and experimentation. We caught up with four of Brisbane's best stylists to talk colour domination and style tips.
14
Kymberly Louise, Kymberly Louise Fashion Stylist
WHAT COLOUR WILL DOMINATE DURING THE COOLER MONTHS? Burgundy is the key colour this season, and it is one of my personal signature colours. If you are unsure, maybe first try a burgundy lipstick. I would recommend investing in one key piece if you only want to dip into the trend. If you are a lover of burgundy and find it really suits your skin, hair and eyes, then stock up! There are some great burgundy dresses around from Lover, Camilla & Marc, Manning Cartell, Faithful The Label and Wish to name a few.
WHAT ARE THE TOP 3 KEY PIECES EVERY WOMAN NEEDS IN HER WARDROBE THIS SEASON? 1. A statement jacket or coat. Investing in one jacket or coat and wearing it to death that season is best. Then next season it's added to your jacket/coat collection which you can continue to build over the years. 2. A solid boot that you can wear with everything. 3. A great pair of jeans. Finding the right pair can be a challenge, but when you find the one, you will love yourself in those jeans. Levi Curves Collection is a great place to start as they have different cuts. Also Jeans West and Just Jeans have multiple jean options in different cuts and shades of denim for around $100. Dark denim is always dressier. Aim to have a well-fitting staple pair of both blue and black jeans in your wardrobe before you start looking at fashion trend jeans.
WHAT ARE THE TOP TRENDS OF THE SEASON?
WHAT IS ONE STYLE TIP THAT EVERY WOMAN MUST KNOW?
Floaty dresses, ladylike skirts (check out Aurelius Costerella, Romance Was Born and AJE), neutral outerwear, shirt dresses, off the shoulder and a new take on suiting (refer to Ellery, Ted Baker, Camilla & Marc and Bassike to name a few).
Don't get caught up on the trends. Dress in what makes you feel great and what makes you look your best. Dressing for your body shape will always garner the best result. Trends always fade quickly, finding your own personal style and embracing it will last you a lifetime. Find the things you like about your body, no matter how small or obscure and try to dress to highlight those aspects and disguise the parts you don't love as much.
DO YOU THINK BRISBANE IS ON-TREND AND TREND DRIVEN? Yes and no. My advice is, if there's a trend you are keen on trying, buy one statement piece or outfit from that trend that you can wear again and again. If you find that you are constantly wearing it, and loving it then it may be worth investing into more pieces as it fits into your personal style.
WHAT'S THE 'IT' ACCESSORY FOR AUTUMN? Well I'm not one to religiously follow trends, so my advice would be to invest in a killer pair of boots. Ankle boots are the most wearable as it can be paired with pants, skirts and dresses. They are also a little more warmweather friendly and practical in the Queensland winter.
WHAT IS ONE TREND WORTH EXPERIMENTING WITH THIS SEASON? Shirt dresses are great for the Queensland climate as they look wintery without having to wear a lot of layers. Wear a cotton or fine wool long sleeve top underneath the dress to add warmth, yet not interfere with the look. You can pair them with opaque stockings and heels or heeled boots, leggings and flats. You can also layer jeans or leather pants under them, it’s a great look but also practical! I will definitely be indulging in some burgundy pieces this season, and I am thinking about dabbling in the fur, especially some emu feather detailing from Nancy King to warm me up this winter!
15
Kirsty Ashe, Kirsty Ashe Style
WHAT'S THE 'IT' ACCESSORY FOR AUTUMN? The felt fedora. Whether it's a relaxed or structured style this is a piece we'll see popping up across the fashion scene over the coming season. This is fabulous news for Brisbane women who still like to be sun smart even in the cooler months.
WHAT COLOUR WILL DOMINATE DURING THE COOLER MONTHS? Definitely black. However we will see it mixed with shades of mulberry, olive, mustard and caramel as the season goes on.
WHAT ARE THE TOP 3 KEY PIECES EVERY WOMAN NEEDS IN HER WARDROBE THIS SEASON? WHAT ARE THE TOP 3 TRENDS OF THE SEASON? Beatnik, leather and black.
WHAT IS ONE STYLE TIP THAT EVERY WOMAN MUST KNOW?
DO YOU THINK BRISBANE IS ON-TREND AND TREND DRIVEN?
Dress for your body shape, always. When a woman masters this both their wardrobe and life is transformed forever.
Brisbane is definitely becoming more and more on-trend and somewhat trend driven. I think with the vision of international fashion so accessible through social media and online publications, we've seen a real shift in how Brisbane women approach trends. Fashion in Brisbane is evolving and with some of the international high street labels like Zara, H&M, Topshop making on-trend pieces readily accessible and affordable, women are starting to enjoy a few trend driven fashion experiments. 16
A black leather jacket, felt hat and a beautiful lace blouse to be teamed with structured leather pieces.
WHAT IS ONE TREND WORTH EXPERIMENTING WITH THIS SEASON? Beatnik; which is mixing lace and leather in a way that's a nod to the bohemian trend. I think this trend will be around for a little while and if you select pieces that really work for you, they could become timeless editions to your wardrobe.
WHAT ARE THE TOP TRENDS OF THE SEASON?
WHAT'S THE 'IT' ACCESSORY FOR AUTUMN?
For me, I really absorb a lot from what people are wearing at the runway shows during Fashion Week, as well as the runways themselves. I am not a massive trend driven person, but three things I am seeing and loving are multicoloured stripes, mixed metallic and DIY through customised slogan jackets & patched, pinned, badged denim; which is a great way to use what you've got.
The block heel slingback.
WHAT COLOUR WILL DOMINATE DURING THE COOLER MONTHS? With the 70s continuing to influence there is a lot of deep cherry burgundy with pops of red and tan suede around.
WHAT ARE THE TOP 3 KEY PIECES EVERY WOMAN NEEDS IN HER WARDROBE THIS SEASON?
DO YOU THINK BRISBANE IS ON-TREND AND TREND DRIVEN? What I love about Brisbane is that the arts and culture scene is so vibrant that you get a real substance and story to people's style. It is less about slavishly following trends and more about expressing individuality, which is always on-trend. That said, since I moved here five years ago, Brisbane is increasingly becoming more and more of a cosmopolitan global city. Brisbaners wouldn't look out of place on the streets of London, Paris or New York.
A skinny scarf necktie or floral corsage, frayed, flared and cropped denims and a metallic pleated skirt.
WHAT IS ONE STYLE TIP THAT EVERY WOMAN MUST KNOW? My motto for my clients in 2016 is “Dare More, Care Less.” Express yourself in all its glory. Individuality is always on trend.
WHAT IS ONE TREND WORTH EXPERIMENTING WITH THIS SEASON? Sequins in the daytime, it is always fun to add a bit of sparkle to the day.

Laura Churchill, The Style Report
WHAT'S THE 'IT' ACCESSORY FOR AUTUMN? A mid-sized cross body bag is top of my list; I'm still searching for the perfect one.
WHAT COLOUR WILL DOMINATE DURING THE COOLER MONTHS? Burgundy and shades of red are key this winter.
WHAT ARE THE TOP 3 TRENDS FOR THE SEASON? I love the Neo-Victorian trend which is all about high necklines in lace and dark floral prints, full sleeves, ruffles and midi lengths. Slip dresses are also key and can be worn for day or night. Another favourite trend is the Global Traveller/Eastern Inspiration – amazing prints and lots of colour, which I love for winter in Queensland. There's a lot to play with this season.
DO YOU THINK BRISBANE IS ON-TREND AND TREND DRIVEN? No, I can't say I do, and that's ok! Our climate plays a part – when it's warm ten months of the year we can't be expected to build the winter wardrobes they can in the south. I do, however, think there are a lot of well-dressed people in Brisbane, particularly the creative community who champion individual style. 18
WHAT ARE THE TOP 3 KEY PIECES EVERY WOMAN NEEDS IN HER WARDROBE THIS SEASON? A midi-length dress, tunic-style top to wear with anklegrazing pants, and great ankle boots to wear with everything from jeans to a slip dress.
WHAT IS ONE STYLE TIP EVERY WOMAN MUST KNOW? Dress for your shape first and foremost. You can never go wrong if you know what suits you.
WHAT IS ONE TREND WORTH EXPERIMENTING WITH THIS SEASON? Androgyny. It's not for everyone, but I love a look that's borrowed from the boys. Look for collared shirts, straight trousers, a big watch and brogues.

It is a versatile piece that can be worn with jeans or a dress.

This quirky trend is all about playful dressing, experimentation, and taking every fashion rule you know and throwing it out the window. To pull off this look, work with patterns, colours and textures which are of a contrasting hue. On the contrary, working with prints and textures of the same colour will create a streamlined aesthetic.

As seen on the Marc Jacobs and Moschino runways, the grungy, punk trend is coming back this autumn with a vengeance. Think leather on leather, studs and chains fit for a smokey gig venue. The key aesthetics of the trend is black on black, with pops of burgundy thrown in. Dramatic contrasts of leather, suede and sheer pieces will also be a key player for creating the ultimate punk look. Be daring, bold and rough it up with this trend.

Dominating silhouettes included oversized jackets and sexy midi dresses, with the 70s trend making an appearance through off-the shoulder styles, flared pants and laceup dresses.
Accessories in rose gold with contrasting etched details and marble added an element of interest to the looks.

Backstage the mostly monochromatic colour scheme of the collection was evident. 30
Creative Director and Co-Founder of KOOKAÏ, Danielle Vagner, stated that the key influence behind the collection was the rise of street style.
“The collection recognises that a lot of our customers now look to social media and online bloggers for inspiration, and so [the collection] has been styled to reflect this trend,” said Vagner. 31
For makeup, smokey bronze eyes took center stage, paired with classic rosy cheeks and neutral lips.

Within the collection, textual play of sheer materials, raw edges and lace were evident aesthetics. 33
OUR TAKE
The imminent change of season has the Fashion Weekly team excited to try the latest autumn trends. Find out which styles we will be flaunting and what's on our wish lists!
34
WHAT TRENDS WILL YOU BE ROCKING THIS SEASON? As my closet consists of mostly black, the minimalism trend will effortlessly compliment my existing wardrobe.
WHAT FASHION PIECE IS ON YOUR AUTUMN WISH LIST? A fur coat. I've always wanted to embrace the fur trend, but for me one element of faux fur would be perfect.
WHO IS YOUR ULTIMATE STYLE INSPIRATION?
Stacey O'Keeffe Publisher & Director
Rachel Zoe; her style is always so effortless, timeless, and mimics comfort with edge. I love how she can pull off boho chic without looking like she's stuck in the 70s. She's also the reason I have such an accessory addiction. She's fearless and has the ability to make a statement without ever trying.

Jessica Lunan Magazine Editor
WHAT TRENDS WILL YOU BE ROCKING THIS SEASON?
WHAT TRENDS WILL YOU BE ROCKING THIS SEASON?
I love this season's take on the androgynous trend; we're seeing blazers that are longer in length with more of a boxy fit. Colour wise, this season I will be all about the camel and butterscotch shades to compliment my black wardrobe.
I really love the emerging punk trend; however I think I'll be pairing the style with minimalistic pieces to soften the intensity.
WHAT FASHION PIECE IS ON YOUR AUTUMN WISH LIST? A structured longline blazer and a heeled boot with metallic detail.
WHO IS YOUR ULTIMATE STYLE INSPIRATION? Olivia Palermo - her outfits are always chic and well styled. Who else can rock blue denim front row at Fashion Week?
WHAT FASHION PIECE IS ON YOUR AUTUMN WISH LIST? A quality leather jacket. I'm always putting together outfits that I feel a leather jacket would take to the next level. So it's about time I get one.
WHO IS YOUR ULTIMATE STYLE INSPIRATION? Alexa Chung. She's brave in her fashion choices, and pulls off every trend so effortlessly. 35

For extra definition, or to enhance the shape of the lip, finish with M.A.C Pro Longwear Lip Pencil. For a super glossy long-lasting lip, apply clear Lip Gloss over the top”. 39

“Let the liner be the feature rather than adding a lot of mascara, keep it minimal or none at all. Don't get caught up in trying to perfect the liner too much, liner that is lived in has much more personality. M.A.C's Modern Twist Kajal Liners glide on, are super smooth and easy to apply and won't move once set. Try adding a touch of colour below or on top of the eye. To change the colour slightly or intensify and make it pop even more, press a little shadow on top.�

It's said the eyes are the windows to the soul, and with this season's top eye trend, they definitely will have the perfect framing. Dramatic, graphic liner and strong wings will take centre stage this autumn. Team with a fresh, minimal base and a strong contour for an edgy, mod look. 41
TALKING ABOUT
TOP IT o From romantic, opulent lips, to texturised, undone hairstyles, there are a number of beauty trends to rock this autumn. We caught up with Senior Makeup Artist for M.A.C, Carol Mackie, and Brisbanebased celebrity hairstylist, Carole Haddad, on how to achieve this season's most lust-worthy looks.
WORDS JESSICA LUNAN 42
Carol Mackie YOU'VE JUST RETURNED FROM LONDON FASHION WEEK! WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE BEAUTY TREND FEATURED IN THE SHOWS? I worked at both New York and London Fashion Week and from my perspective I saw a lot of colour. However, it was used very specifically in terms of placement. For example, the focus was on either an eye or a lip, but usually not together. The new M.A.C Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolours were used a lot this season, especially in deep tones of red, aided by lip pencils to create perfect plums, warm chestnuts and deep burgundies. Brightly coloured liner was used in a slightly unconventional way on the lips; rounded at the ends or cut short as opposed to sharpened lines.
WHAT ARE YOUR TIPS FOR WOMEN WHO WANTS TO ROCK THE GRAPHIC LINER AND OPULENT LIPS LOOK? Don't be afraid of colour! Pick either the graphic liner or the opulent lips rather than the two together, but always pair with polished skin that is super hydrated. With opulent lips there are so many new formulas available in lip products that make application super easy. I love the new Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour for a velvet matte finish.
WHAT IS THE SECRET TO FLAWLESS SKIN THIS AUTUMN? It's all in the preparation and what sits beneath any makeup products. The makeup is the icing on the cake, and it won't look great if the skin isn't hydrated and nourished prior to adding anything on top. Depending on skin types and needs, different products are required. I'm in love with M.A.C's Lightful C range. The products work best when used together to nourish, hydrate and brighten the skin.
ARE EYES OR LIPS THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE SEASON? Both! Just not together.
WHAT IS ONE BEAUTY SECRET THAT EVERY WOMAN NEEDS TO KNOW FOR AN ON-TREND FINISH? Nothing makes a 'look' more on trend than the skin! Take the time to really prep and perfect the skin prior to applying foundation, ensuring it doesn't look like there is a lot of product on the face. I suggest layering product to bring light to the face.
WHAT IS THE ONE ITEM THAT YOU THINK ALL WOMEN SHOULD HAVE IN THEIR MAKEUP BAG TO EASILY TAKE THEIR LOOK FROM DAY TO NIGHT? A bold lipstick – eyes can be pared back easily however there is nothing more sophisticated than a bold red lip against barely there skin.
Carol Mackie, Senior Makeup Artist M.A.C.
43
Carole Haddad, Celebrity Hairstylist
WHAT IS YOUR GO TO HAIRSTYLE IF YOU'RE RUNNING LATE IN THE MORNING?
Carole Haddad WHAT ARE THE KEY HAIR TRENDS FOR AUTUMN? Embracing regrowth and short platinum blonde hair are definite trends for autumn.
UNDONE, TEXTURISED LOOKS ARE POPULAR FOR AUTUMN. WHAT ARE YOUR TIPS TO EFFORTLESSLY ACHIEVE THIS LOOK? The bed-head look is definitely in. I believe that less is more when creating this. Always wash your hair the day before, and then sleep in a few tight plaits. The next day, let it out and add some mousse. This creates that tousled, bed-head style. There's no brush or heat required, it's all about a natural look. 44
One of the best and quickest hairstyles is a simple ponytail. Braids are also in at the moment, especially a beautiful braid off the face. Braid your hair the day before.
WHAT IS ONE GREAT HAIR CARE SECRET THAT EVERY WOMAN MUST KNOW? This tip is especially great after summer; use bi-carb soda to remove any chlorine from your hair easily and effectively.
WHAT IS THE HERO PRODUCT OF THE SEASON? Definitely the organic range for D+T Australia.
To experience your own 5 star treatment, be sure to visit the brand new Corcorz salon at 237 Montague Road, West End, Queensland

Use a brush with a ceramic base, such as the Brushworx Gold Ceramic Hot Tube Brush. The ceramic spreads heat evenly throughout the hair, allowing the hair to dry evenly and create maximum hold. BRUSHWORX Gold Ceramic Hot Tube Brush, $19.95 Stockists: 1800 251 215
3. SECTION THE HAIR OFF prior to starting the blow dryer up. Not only will this simplify the process, but will also ensure that the same section of hair isn't continuously being dried. This also reduces the risk of frying the hair, making it appear dehydrated.
4. HOLD THE HAIR DRYER at least 6cm away from your head to prevent the risk of damage and frizz. Use a low heat if hair is dry, as this will prevent the hair from internally heating up. The BaByliss Pro Rapido Professional Ferrari Dryer is lightweight and delivers the optimal amount of heat for a faster dry.
2. ALWAYS APPLY A HEAT PROTECTOR, such as the Hot Muk Thermal Protector, before drying. Apply other hair products once the hair is 50% dry. This ensures that the strength of the product isn't reduced due to the hair’s moisture.

TOP TIP
For youthful looking hair avoid creating volume around the face, and rather at the crown of the head. 57

Neo This collection marks the much-anticipated return of Clayton Wheeler to Australian shores.
A familiar face reconnecting with his original team under a new brand aesthetic, Clayton delivers a collection that captures his spirit of wanderlust and memories that he has made along the way. Neophyte depicts an East London vibe through a series of looks that could be seen sauntering confidently around the streets of Shoreditch.

n keeping with the Hackney set, the styling is eclectic. From die hard East Londoners to bohemian activists, with a little middle class gentrification thrown into the inspirational mix, this story brings street style into a tightly cropped and beautifully polished frame.
63
t
he vast differentiation between each muse allows a broad spectrum of trends and techniques to be explored. From an insanely intricate tight skull braid, to a freehand colour technique in a rainbow palette, there is an abundance of evidence of the artist's high skill set and creative aptitude.

The inspiration for HOURGLASS arose from a clock that I bought online which had a marble face; I remember opening it after purchasing it and knew then and there what my collection would be influenced and inspired by.
73
Soon after I began researching different types of marble and how it is created and how certain temperatures and minerals will give a varied result on the finish and colour, I also loved the blend of the contrasting colours upon one another.
74
75
76
I used this information to create my looks; I wanted each one to be modern but also timeless, playing on the idea of colour. Much of the work is freehand and the colours have gradients in them, relating back to how seamlessly marble will blend even with contrasting colours.
77
Specifically there was one piece of marble I used within this collection which stood out for me. I used all of the colours present in the marble, and recreated them onto the hair. With the styling and finishing I also used the idea of how marble is glossy yet mattedual textured.

r o s a m o n d The collection was really a collaboration of two different looks, coming together as one. The inspiration comes from the artist Christine Rosamond. Her simple sketches in pencil and finely detailed watercolours and oils are so soft and beautiful; she always expresses femininity, innocence and a feeling of shyness. This was conveyed in my shoot. While the collection was about simplicity, I added an edge to make people second guess. I wanted people to ask the question “does this collection work or doesn't it?� It is designed to encourage conversation. In order to achieve this with a twist, I incorporated an edgy 'British Punk Rock meets Tinker Bell' aesthetic.
WORDS MALISA MASCI
The hair colour in the shoot was inspired by fiction and fantasy. We wanted to push the envelope on colour, as I think the use of creative colour has become more important than ever in a shoot. The idea was again to push some creative boundaries and have that clash of freaky and ethereal, yet beautiful, soft and sexy. Different colouring techniques were used to enhance the vibrant colours and to combine the soft muted pastel hues. The colour has a definite punch to it, with an intertwined subtlety. The styling references were from what is fashionforward for 2016, and what was going to compliment the shoot - lace, embroidery, and fairytale inspiration. I wanted the collection to be very soft, feminine, pretty, clean, but with a modern edge. The make-up look is flawless and effortless. Neutral tones with a slight darkness around the eyes. Generally a 'less is more' approach was taken in the make-up direction.

Eat, Drink, Do INTERVIEW JESSICA LUNAN
It's easy to get stuck in a café rut and return to the same place for brunch every time. AroundAbout is a Brisbane-born app that aims to challenge creatures of habits, and introduce them to new places to eat, drink and do based on their location. We spoke to the creator, Mitch Hills, about the app’s success, the latest food trends for autumn, and what drink Brisbane would be if it was a beverage. 94
AROUNDABOUT IS SAID TO BE LIKE TINDER FOR FOOD. HOW DID YOU IDENTIFY THE GAP IN THE MARKET PLACE TO CREATE SUCH AN APP? There's a bunch of websites that offer you a lot of information, but that's the problem… there's so much! It's like trying to take a sip of water from a firehose! I wanted to take something boring (researching and scrolling through content) and make it fun by taking the user to an 'in-the-moment' experience as opposed to the avalanche of internet content. I hate wasting time more than anything else in the world, and our research showed over 85% of people had wasted time when traveling and not knowing what to do. The same goes for wasted weekends or days off. Enter AroundAbout!
DO BRISBANE FOOD LOVERS CRAVE DIFFERENT CUISINES AS THE MONTHS GROW COLDER? Certainly! In the summer time it's about enjoying refreshing food, fruity breakfasts, sangria, having a cold beer in the sunshine. In colder months foodies love to indulge in comfort food, warm meals, hot chocolates and more naughty desserts. Food plays an enormous role in everybody's life and it's exciting that it changes with our surroundings.
WHY DO YOU THINK AROUNDABOUT HAS BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL? I think the biggest reason is that it looks gorgeous. I put a lot of effort into making it look great and being very easy to use. It's such a simple concept that everyone can relate with, and the whole 'swiping' functionality is becoming very popular. But not only is it just nice to look at, all the places are around you so you can go eat it instantly (unlike waiting for that mystery person to match with you on Tinder). Food always loves you back!

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO CREATE THEIR OWN APP? I am often asked this question, and I always have to hold back from writing a novel! I would say two quick pieces of advice: most importantly, make sure you're making something people want. Talk to people and validate it first, make sure there's a market for it. The second would be to create an MVP (minimum viable product) for deeper validation. Once you know there's a market, build an entry level version of it and find out what your users actually want, don't just make what you think they want. Keep testing until you've got enough feedback before investing heavily into development. I also recommend joining my entrepreneurs' community for free at www.theexceptionsnetwork.com for frequent advice, tips and tricks on business, and especially apps!
IF BRISBANE WAS A BEVERAGE, WHAT WOULD IT BE? As much as I love the cocktail bars, I have to say beer. The scene has evolved in recent years, and there's so much history behind the brewery in Brisbane and the sunny, coastline culture. We know our beer up here!
WHAT ARE THE THREE THINGS THAT NEW COMERS TO BRISBANE MUST TRY AND DO? Definitely go to South Bank, there is so much going on in that place. Great food, awesome scenery, art galleries, a beach… it rocks. If you're an adrenaline junkie there's a lot of cool activities like climbing the story bridge, rock climbing the Kangaroo Point cliffs and even kayaking the Brisbane River. For foodies check out Eat Street Markets, where you can find a spectacular selection and variety of delicious foods as you stroll through the stalls. 96
WHAT CAFÉ IS BRISBANE'S BEST KEPT SECRET? Lost Boys in Bakery Lane is a good sneaky one! I'm also a huge fan of The Three Monkeys in West End. I have almost all of my important meetings there!
IF AROUNDABOUT WAS A PERSON, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE ITS PERSONALITY? AroundAbout would be that energetic friend that is always telling you to get out of the house and throwing fun ideas at you. It would also be the person that completely ruins your diet but you secretly love it, #yolo.
WHAT IS THE LATEST FOOD TREND FOR AUTUMN? Food trucks are definitely still popping up left right and centre, also these towering out-of-control desserts are taking the world by storm, and as we transition into the cooler months I doubt they're going away any time soon! Dessert is definitely growing in popularity; shout out to Damian Griffiths as well for the new Mister Fitz ice cream sandwiches and the artistic Doughnut Time creations which are exploding.
WHAT'S NEXT? We've got some really cool features coming to AroundAbout, one of which is what we call Aroundapics. You can take a picture of any dish and rate it out of 5 with our Foodie Emotions like OMG for when you're drooling over the plate, Food Coma for when you've eaten a small village, an Angel for all you health addicts out there‌ there's a few! These shares to the AroundAbout social feed where you can see what all your foodie friends are up to and follow the #foodporn. Now it's not just about discovery of venues, it's about building a community.

“BUMBLE IS BUILT UPON BEING FUN AND SAFE THE REASON WHY SO MANY AUSSIE WOMEN ARE SIGNING UP,”
L
adies, it is time to step up your game! There's a new app on the scene that is shaking up the traditional realms of the dating world, giving you total control.
Bumble is the newest dating app for IOS and Android that is setting the stage for singles to mingle without the awkwardness. It connects you with the people you actually want to see, all you have to do is swipe right!
Sound familiar? CEO and co-founder, Whitney Wolfe, who was previously the vice president of marketing for Tinder, felt there was a major gap in the market during her time there. Wanting to fill the niche with an app that put women first and promoted online responsibility, Wolfe created Bumble. Setting it apart from other dating apps, women are the game makers who always make the first move. How does this work? Easy! You see someone you like and swipe right to connect. You, and only you, now have 24 hours to say something otherwise the connection disappears forever! “Bumble is built upon being fun and safe- the reason why so many Aussie women are signing up,” said Wolfe. To access the unique app, and challenge the stigma of traditional dating norms, be sure to download Bumble today!
