It’s been an eventful couple of days. You have probably already heard the exciting news that Tahnee Atkinson from Perth won the 2009 Australia’s Next Top Model. I’m so glad I was able to attend the event – it was a great final and I personally think either Tahnee or Cassi would have been worthy recipients of the title – both had very different talents and strengths but secretly for me I was happy a fellow Perth girl was the winner. Another girl I quite liked and think has potential is Claire who won viewer’s choice. I went along to the after party and met with the girls – here are some pics of the set and with Tahnee at the after party …

Style Palace At Australia's Next Top Model
I was lucky enough to get tickets to the final of Australia’s Next Top Model as well an invite to the after party so decided to make the most of a trip to Sydney and take this week off. After a couple of days partying in Sydney I will follow the sun up to the beautiful Hayman Island. This doesn’t mean that Style Palace has closed for the week – the Princesses are still keeping things ticking along back at the Palace!
With my laptop on-hand I will keep you updated on my week off (it won’t be all pleasure – there will also be a little bit of work on the agenda). The Australia’s Next Top Model final is on tomorrow night and I will be there cheering on Perth finalist, Tahnee so stay tuned for what happens after the final.
I arrived in Sydney today and headed straight for the Lindt Chocolat Cafe in Martin Place. If you are ever in Sydney and a chocoholic like me, I highly recommend you try the Lindt Hot Chocolate (I have soy milk but I’m sure any milk will do). It is seriously to die for and was the perfect start to my east coast holiday.
More to come soon …

Australia's Next Top Model Wears Bec & Bridge
The winner of Australia’s Next Top Model – Demelza looked amazing in the Bec & Bridge June Bug Maxi Dress. The Bec & Bridge offices were inundated with calls to purchase the dress after Demelza was seen wearing it on the show. This reaction is not surprising as SP fell in love with the dress when we first laid eyes on it – needless to say, we had to have it!
The June Bug Maxi Dress along with other gorgeous Bec & Bridge pieces will be available from Style Palace in September 2008.
