Entering my third year blogging, I thought it was appropriate to look back and reflect on what was a huge year for Lady Melbourne, 2008.
The blog simply wouldn’t have reached the achievements it has without you the readers, so thank you for your support and readership.
Before we proceed however, I do need to acknowledge some Australian bloggers who have been a fantastic support to LM in 2008.
I first met Hayley on the streets of Melbourne when I was doing a shoot and she was shooting for Melbourne Street Fashion. I hung out with her at Spring Fashion Week and even managed to crash the official after party with her on my arm. One very cool Melbourne chic indeed.
Aus Style
If any of you can be bothered tracking back, you will soon discover that back when Lady Melbourne was read by just Mother Melbourne and His Lordship, the sole commenter and public supporter was Aus Style.
I attended this event expecting to see racks of vintage clothes, not Peter Jago amongst many other incredible personalities exhibiting.
Probably the high light for me as a blogger, in May Lady Melbourne was made into a fashion and beauty column in print for Metro News in Melbourne.
Had I any idea that this petticoat would be so popular I would have one in every colour! Quintessential Lady Like glamour, this outfit was one of the most popular with my readers all year.
A lovely, sweet post early on in the year, one of my very own favourites.
This post sums up what the blog is all about- modern vintage, lady like glamour. It inspired the banner and new layout, and will be made into a painting by a German artist in 2009.
Lady Melbourne photography at it’s best.
Again attracting a fantastic reaction, this post on Primark during my stay in London got your tongues wagging!
I was lucky enough to cover Spring Fashion Week this year and here I presented my favourites trends for 2008.
Imelda
Imelda’s support, encouragement and cheeky challenges bought Lady Melbourne to new heights in 2008. From a Lady to a Despot, blogging wouldn’t be the same without er, her.

She was one of the first Australian bloggers to discover and comment on these pages, and her rise is testament to what a talent this young gal possesses. Thank you Aus Style for your on going support.
So here we go, a look back at 2008!
Early in the year I attended and covered the Oak Bank Easter Racing Carnival in Adelaide. A country style race meet with some very stylish ladies, Adelaide showed us that it’s not just Melbourne’s little sister after all.

Cheeky Imelda challenged Lady M to create an outfit from a garbage bag. Behold the results.
