Gary Pepper Vintage

The opening of the highly anticipated Giorgio Armani beauty counter inside Myer's Sydney city store drew a select but stylish crowd last night. The unofficial theme of the evening looked to be black and white, with the well-dressed guest list showing they really knew how to work this season's monochrome trend. Zoe worked a scultpural two-piece by Steven Khalil and studded clutch by Alexander McQueen. Laura Dundovic worked the two-tone trend via a peplum cocktail frock, Magdalena Roze tempered her flirty, feathered dress with a leather moto jacket and Nicole Warne (aka Gary Pepper Vintage) donned an allured lace dress from Lover and scarlet Charlotte Olympia heels.

Last night in Sydney, Giorgio Armani opened their highly-anticipated beauty counter in Myer. Celebrities including Laura Dundovic and Zoe Marshall turned out to help celebrate the luxe affair, but there was one more lady to catch our attention — or rather, her hair did. Nicole Warne — also know as her blogger alias, Gary Pepper Vintage — sported hair so glossy, we almost wanted to run up and touch it. There's a few tips and tricks you can do at home to get shinier hair, keep reading.

She's currently in the US following an array of pretty street-style appearances for 2013 Fall fashion week, and we're delighted to give you a peek inside the beauty wardrobe of Gary Pepper Vintage, aka Nicole Warne. She's mastered the art of the cat-eye, and her skin is so clear and smooth, we've been falling over ourselves to find out what skincare she uses. A prominent Australian blogger, Nicole recently featured in the Miss Vogue social media campaign and we may or may not have her mentally clocked under cheek bone inspiration...

Even the leftover snow and ice from this weekend's NYC blizzard hasn't stopped Fashion Week's style pack, who continue to deliver rounds of envy-inducing style. Bundled up but hardly boring, these lessons in creative layers, luxe outerwear, glam add-ons, and eye-popping prints are well beyond your average Winter ensembles (but that's just par for the course at Fashion Week). With just a few more days to go, the show outside the tents is in full effect — click on to see the best of the best right here.

Vogue's online, little sister masthead has tapped into the power the web for its December edition. Miss Vogue has nominated nine Australian style influencers who use their e-presence and social media skills to reach their style-obsessed readership in a way that is more immediate and tangible than traditional media. The cover girls have a combined reach of over one million people, which adds up to a lot of 'likes', 'follows' and 'retweets'! Lara Bingle leads the charge (very apt, considering her new role at CO Cotton On), accompanied by Samantha Weaving, Ruby Rose and Isabelle Cornish, whilst Jessica Stein, Nicole Warne and Sara Donaldson head up the blogger pack. Shot by Pierre Toussaint, styled by Christine Centenera, and dressed entirely in Josh Goot's Resort '12 collection (which, btw you can buy off the girls' backs), this is one slick celebration of Aussies making a fashionable splash on the world wide web.

It was another exciting week in the world of social media with our favourite fashionable celebs sharing their moments of work and play. While style setters like Alexa Chung and Poppy Delevingne partied in the City of Light, Miranda Kerr spent a sunny day in matching outfits with her little one, Flynn. Kim Kardashian did her best blue steel in a royal blue gown, Lauren Conrad showed off some new shades, and one of our favourite fashion icons had a laugh with some equally fashionable friends. Meanwhile, an all-star style grouping of Arizona Muse, Karlie Kloss, Alexander Wang, and Derek Blasberg partied together at Carine Roitfeld's ball, and Jessica Hart kept the nail art trend alive and well with some wickedly cool fingertips. It's all in here, and so much more — click through to see behind-the-scenes snaps from all your favourite celebeauties.

As much as we adore scoping the new season threads from the runways at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, the front row was just as perve-worthy. The the 'fits sitting front row can be just as directional, and just as important for forecasting trends to come. We've taken the top five pieces from our most-stylish list and found similar, so you can invest now in the pieces that everyone else will be wearing in six months' time. Like that? We do. Get ahead of that curve.

We've already zoned in on the bags and pants from the streets of Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia, and now it's time to focus on the power of the skirt. Separates have replaced dresses as the go-to piece from the front row, and we've spied styles in everything from neon to leather in midi and mini lengths parading across town this week. Check out our gallery and get inspired to style up a storm with a fun and fancy-free skirt!
