Giuliana Rancic: Style Tips and Favourite Aussie Designers

Superstar TV host, down to Earth fashionista and Westfield Style Ambassador Giuliana Rancic made her Sydney appearance today and let us in on her style secrets and how to be a "true fashionista". 

Giuliana's famous line from the many  Hollywood red carpets she has hosted is "who are you wearing?" So who was Giuliana wearing? Dressed by Willow, she wore an all black ensemble featuring sheer pieces ad a deconstructed jacket. 

Giuliana loves Australian designers because "they play and take risks with colours and designs". As well as Willow, her other favourite Aussie designers are Ginger and Smart, Cue, Zimmerman, Sass and Bide, Paolo Sebastian and Alex Perry, just to name a few. Giuliana wore Alex Perry to the Grammy Awards this year (pictured below) and said"I've never been on so many best dressed lists". Go Mr. Perry!

This style maven has also been on her fair share of worst dressed lists, but takes it all in her stride, saying that "to be a true fashionista you have to be on worst dressed lists, because it means you're taking chances".

Key pieces that Giuliana says we need in our wardrobes? A leather pencil skirt, suede stiletto ankle boots, a motorcycle jacket and a great pant suit. 

Giuliana's top style tips:

1. Less is more; it's not all about showing skin 

2. Take chances with your fashion choices

3. High-low dressing is key

4. A pair of killer heels will dress up your outfit from day to night

Post-holiday hum

I'm pretty sure in my last post I promised I would blog whilst I was in America. Obviously, that didn't happen. Truth is, time just got away from me. Especially in New York. We were as bad as some of the locals are said to be, always on the go. Always going from one place to the next. 11 nights in the city just wasn't enough to see and experience everything. The sights, the sounds, the grilled cheese. Oh well, it just means I'll have to go back. What I might do is post a photo diary of each city I visited, for your viewing pleasure (not just mine, I promise). 

Till my next post xx

Note to self: stop making blog promises I won't keep.
