Regularly spotted backstage at the likes of New York Fashion Week, makeup artist Blanka Dudas is something of a veteran. I won't go into the long list of celebrities she's worked with, suffice to say we were interested to hear that Blanka will be running makeup workshops in Melbourne, starting on May 1st. The workshops are aimed at "demystifying the confusion of makeup application, simplifying the beauty regime, and educating women in the basics of natural makeup application." We expect Blanka will have plenty of gems of knowledge to impart, so worth a look if you're Melbourne-based.

Thurley at LMFF
At 9pm last night, Melbourne's fashion crowd sat down to a performance by Bertie Blackman before velvet-clad models in Levante stockings strode onto the stage. Introductory entertainment over, Thurley was the first label to work the show. Hemlines at L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF) Runway 3 were longer, dresses more suitable as night time fare. Thurley brought pitch black and sparkling silver into glittering harmony; some modern cuts, some more flapper inspired.
Tiah Eckhardt backstage
What do ravishing redhead Tiah Eckhardt, fake eyelashes & a book about perfume & murder have in common? They were all backstage at the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival (LMFF) on Wednesday.

Mini Skirts With Mega Style
Mini skirts are fierce and it seems like they’re everywhere. Worn right, they’re a sophisticated bottom that’s alluring without trying too hard. Dress it up or dress it down, and the mini will take you from a weekend brunch to a post-work happy hour. And before you say you’re too tall or too modest for this style, grab yourself a pair of opaque tights and hit the dressing room with our favorites as a guide. You’re sure to find a mini perfect for you.
1. Flirty and fun, this ruffled mini ($48) from Free People hits on all this season’s trends.
2. A paper bag waist and gauzy material make Victoria’s Secret’s zebra mini ($39.50) a more forgiving and seasonless style.
3. For tall girls, Banana Republic’s corduroy mini ($29.99) has extra length and a classic style that’ll go anywhere.
4. Preppy gray plaid cozies up Juicy’s mini ($82) which is practically begging to be paired with cabled tights and a turtleneck sweater.
5. This Elizabeth and James beaded skirt is so perfectly embellished–it’s hard to resist.
See more of the best skirts, plus tall boots, really cute booties to go with everything, and leather jackets to pump up the look to an edgier level.
