The Magical World of Christmas
With only 5 1/2 weeks until Christmas, today the excitement began!!!!
Chadstone – The Fashion Capital has asked me to be the spokesperson for Fashion and Shopping on a panel of experts through this entire Christmas period!!

So, as some of you are aware, I am currently working in Queensland doing my regular quarterly trip and when Chadstone asked me to be apart of this team together with 2 other experts in food, wine and gifts, I of course jumped at the opportunity!
Now, my trip back to Melbourne for the night was not without drama, instead of arriving at 8:30 pm and sitting over a glass of wine at my sons’ restaurant, I endured a 3 1/2 hour delayed flight which didn’t see me home until 1am! YAY! However, I must say it was well worth the trip!!!
Chadstone – The Fashion Capital have excelled with the Christmas Spirit and it is only just the beginning. In Collaboration with Make a Wish Foundation, they launched Christmas with a bang! (literally a bang and I almost had a heart attack!) This launch also showcased some incredible dancers, all of which were very mesmerising. Their costumes were absolutely stunning!
William’s story of his heart complications put a lump in my throat and as he spoke about Make a Wish Foundation and what they have now done for him I took a glance around the room and saw many people welled up with tears too. This year The Make a Wish Foundation brought William’s wish true with a gift of an electric train set.
Even though he will still continue to have surgery, the smile and happiness on his face is something you could never replace!
Chadstone – The Fashion Capital then presented a cheque for $10,400 to the CEO of the Make a Wish Foundation and also pledged to donate the proceeds of their gift wrapping services to help other children all around the world!

Every half an hour, The Magical World of Christmas comes to life and there is even a cool Christmas app (free) which you can get on you smartphone and take photos with snowflakes. Also when you go to the arrangement (at lower level David Jones) you use the app on the stickers snowflakes and little magical creatures pop up! Very Cute!!!

I hope you are all enjoying this little break from fashion – I have a great blog coming out early next week on how to look slim in summer clothing!
Tell me though, are you a Christmas freak like me (child at heart) or are you a bit of a scrooge and go into hibernation?
Enjoy,
Love Cin xx
Cindy,
You look fantastic in that “little white dress” and what a buzz to be associated with such a great charity. Love reading your blog and getting inspired each time
Cheers
Nikki
Thanks So much Nikki, love your support and enthusiasm for what I do! xo
Love your shoes Cindy where did you buy them?
You look great as always.
They are a great comfortable shoe Sue, unfortunately though I got them last year from Santini, but worth checking as there could be something similar.
