What an AMAZING day! We like to think we’re seasoned model comp vetarans now, having run this gig a few years  in a row, but we have to say this year was better than ever.

Our jaws were basically on the floor, over how gorgeous all these girls looked and how great they were in front of the camera, especially since most of them aren’t professional models!

Total girl crush and maybe a little bit of envy too hahah!

We’ll be announcing the winner next week but because some of these girls were so ah-ma-zing, you may see a few familiar faces in some of our photo shoots ;)

What we especially loved was that the girls were all really fun and super nice which is what Show Pony is all about!

There was a lot of dancing around to ‘Thrift Shop’ by Macklemore (still obsessed !), feasting on piles of candy (models DO eat), and chatting/ gossiping away!

It was basically like doing a photo shoot with 9 of your girl friends, and you’ll see that awesome vibe in the photos :)

The girls were styled with lots of colour, in our signature Ever After and Mesmerised dresses, and bright, printed playsuits, and at the end of the shoot, each lucky girl got to take away their fave piece from the collection- it was definitely a winning day for these girls haha!!

The Next Face Of Show Pony will be announced next week – can you guess who it’ll be?

Love,

Floral crowns are in trend at the moment and we adore the idea of wearing flowers in your hair! Fresh flowers always add a sense of luxury but fake flowers are definitely more practical.

We did a little street style shoot which featured a beautiful pink rose floral crown in some of the shots  and while it’s best matched with a romantic look, there are so many styles that we’re sure you can find one for any style you wear!

We love an off the shoulder look for Summer!

Some of our fave shots of celebrities rocking floral crowns are Pixie Lott with an amazing over-sized yellow rose headband, and Alexa Chug with a subtle mixed flower headband.

Alexa

To get a stunning floral headband, we suggest heading to Kisforkani’s etsy online store. She does amazing handmade pieces that are kind of like little works of art! Our fave? The oversized deep red rose  floral crown- AH-MAZING!

We really loved this little list by Aussie DJ queens The Faders!  To see their list click here. It inspired us to create our own top 10 list of things you need to stay hot this Summer, so here’s our top 10:

1. Killer denim shorts

A pair of amazing denim shorts are a must for Summer. They go with almost anything (Do NOT venture into double denim territory without experience), are super easy to wear and are perfect thrown over your bikini. We love the distressed look but some tailored shorts in colour are also a great way to score extra fashion points.

2. A cute beach dress

You’ll definitely hit the beach over the Summer, and to mix it up from wearing shorts and a top over your swimsuit, we say a flirty lightweight dress is the way to go! Keep it loose and cute, the beach is no place to start showing off your inner Lady Gaga.

3. A summer maxi

When the temperature starts to rise, typically everyone usually resorts to wearing as little as possible but we love the elegance of a maxi dress or skirt, and if your best feature isn’t your legs this is a great way to still get a sexy look without exposing your pins.

4. Great basics

Great basic pieces are the foundation of any good wardrobe, but they’re never more important than in Summer! Get yourself equipped with singlets, bralets and simple tees for those downtime moments.

5. An amazing swimsuit

One-pieces are the trend at the moment so ditch that bikini and get yourself a cute one-piece. They’re also a lot more forgiving so even if you’re not 100% beach ready, you can hit the beach in style! See how Taylor Swift rocks the one-piece look with fun polka dots.

one piece

6. Bracelets- lots of them!

Bracelets are the perfect Summer accessory because they’re easy to put on and off and even if it’s super hot, they don’t cling to your body the way a necklace would. We love the stacked bracelet look

7. A SWAG hat

Festivals and outdoor parties will be a major part of your life during Summer and nothing screams ‘festival’ better than a SWAG hat! These baseball shaped caps will give you instant attitude, and have you shouting ‘YOLO!’ while you’re kicking up some mischief around town!

8. A great mini-bag

A big bag is great for the beach when you need to carry bulky things like fluffy beach towels, but for everyday use, you definitely need a mini-bag, preferably a small shoulder satchel that is deceivingly small.

9. A cute pair of sandals

Flip flops are the standard shoe of choice for Summer, but you need a cute pair of sandals to complete your closet. We like a vintage inspired sandal because they tend to go with almost everything. They usually look cute enough to be worn out in the evening, and if you get a pair of real leather sandals, they’ll last you for a good few seasons and will just get better with age. Check out Shop Til’ You Drop’s pick of the best beach to bar sandals.

10. Sunscreen

We love Invisible Zinc, not least because it’s endorsed by uber-model Elle McPherson, but because they provide you with sun protection without being greasy/ oily. Their Tinted Daywear cream also won the 2010 Australian Beauty Awards, so you know their stuff is truly awesome and not faking it with tons of advertising.  No one likes the lobster look- no one, so staying sun-safe is really important for Summer.

We heart Invisible Zinc !

Stay amazing girls!

Temp homepage galleryGirls this is… no joke… the most exciting announcement we have ever posted! 

THE SELFIE ERA HAS BEGUN

Here is the story behind it:

So…. Jane and I were thinking late last year that we want to look after our Show Pony community better! After all, it’s in our mission statement that we want to “nurture our community of quirky, confident and bubbly Show Pony girls” – and we mean it :) When we were brainstorming various ways of doing this over copious amounts of wine late one Friday night (longest phrase ever), we had a number of epiphanies!

The first was our “pics or it didn’t happen campaign” which we rolled out last year, but we were left somewhat unsatisfied, it felt like we were only half way there, girls were sending us their pics, and they were going on Facebook… but then what… we were stuck in limbo and didn’t know what to do.

funny-pictures-cat-drinking-wine

  Soooo… several more wines and dress up sessions later (you wouldn’t believe how carried away we get in an office FULL of clothes!), we plucked ourselves a plan out of our small combined brains…

35oykd

Lucky for us, we were in an office with plenty of pens and paper…

The next day, we kicked off our plan, sprinkled some magic Show Pony dust on it (aka hard work) and here we are today! I should probably mention though this is only part of our new community campaign, the other half will be explained in a blog to come.

So to cut a long story short, we have just launched an amazing new feature that allows you all to be showcased on our site! No matter what your shape or size, we want you all to model for us. So frickin’ exciting! All you do is snap yourself (or snap your friends) wearing Show Pony and #showponyfashion on instagram, or email your pics to pics@showponyfashion.com. We will then feature your pics on our product pages! .

GET CREATIVE

Go crazy with style, accessorise the s*#t out of your outfits, be brave, go mental! And most of all, have fun doing it – because that’s what we’re all about.

pics or not flyer a5This also means that when you shop our site, you can view any item, and see how our other customers have styled it, as well as seeing it on other girls of all sizes, not just our size 8 models ;) I know there is a bunch of you out there that would love to see our clothes on normal girls, not just thin models, so now you can. Someone once quoted: “there’s no such thing as an ugly girl, just a lazy one” (no idea who said it though) but I think that’s so true! All our Show Pony girls are beautiful, and now you have the chance to show your beauty on the site!

We need your help though, because with out you guys, we wouldn’t be able to do this fun crazy idea!

home pageI think the bottom line is that Show Pony isn’t just a clothing brand, we’re a lifestyle, and that’s what we want to capture with your help.


We hope you guys like this new idea and embrace it so it reaches it’s full potential. To check out our latest uploads by customers see here. It’s still not fully styled yet, but were getting there.

Who doesn’t like animals? We all have a favourite furry creature that we think is way cuter than the rest and the latest trend for animal motifs are a great way to display that! Just check out how these celebrities rock this trend on the Shop Til’ You Drop website. We especially liked actress Olivia Wilde’s look! Smart black blazer and pants with those cute Mary Jane inspired platforms and that tiger motif tee, make for a tough, but fun look that you can easily take to work for a Friday!

To get the look, pair our Reow tank with a pair of Those Pins pants in black, and a Malibu blazer.

And just to cap it off, we had to end with this viral video of Kristen Bell having a total meltdown over a sloth, just because it’s hilarious and it still gets us every single time!

We had a another fun day a few weeks ago, with models Aley and Kaitlin in the studio shooting our latest arrivals. We had so much fun shooting these hot NYE dresses all around and we also shot some of our Show Pony basics range (think super cute bralets).

For a blast from the past (it is now 2013!) see all the fun below!

Show Pony founder Jane Lu was on hand to sort out a tricky situation with our latest colour of the Bow Tie dress :) She just recently won an entrepreneurial award so everyone at Show Pony HQ was incredibly proud!

bts12 (1)

Aley gives her look a once over in the mirror before getting in front of the camera. She wears the Mesmerised dress in white with the Que belt in beige.

Kaitlin gets a touch up to her outfit. She rocks The Beat playsuit in red and the Glitz and Glam belt in black. We LOVE this playsuit and everyone in our office has been fighting to get hold of this for their wardrobe.

Fashion blogger Aley Greenblo checks her photo with our photographer Ben. We love a perfectionist ;) This stunning off the shoulder dress makes us think of Pretty Woman every time – and really, who doesn’t want to look as good as Julia Roberts in that movie! Elite dress in white.

The models check out Instagram photos between takes. To follow Show Pony fashion on Instagram find showponyfashion

Elite dresses in both colours- an ebony vs ivory dilemma. The girls goof around on set.

Kaitlin touches up her makeup before the shot. We were all swooning over the pink lipstick she had on. Models have the best beauty secrets ;)

Kaitlin and Ben compare cameras. Somehow we think Ben’s’ professional camera is going to win out over Kaitlins iPhone 5!

Aley is such a sweetheart in this dress! Mesmerised in white and the Que belt in beige. She gave us her secret for those incredibly luscious locks but shhh we can’t say!

bts9 (1)

Whaddya want?! We love this super candid shot of Aley goofing around on set.

So seeing as it’s a new year, and everyone is making resolutions, we wanted to know what your style resolutions were! Do you vow to wear more colour, not be afraid of pencil skirts or backless dresses? Whatever it is, make this your best year ever and do it while looking fabulous!

We spent the day with our intern Bibi, and had her work  her inner model on the streets of Sydney with some of our favourite looks for the coming season.

We are loving strong colours and statement necklaces right now paired with some ankle boots (to brave the colder weather lately!) and even though it was shot during the day, we couldn’t resist putting her in a pair of our fave new sequin shorts. Sure, Summer is usually associated with a casual approach to fashion but sparkle on we say! Sunny days don’t give you an excuse to wear denim shorts every day!

And because we’re nice, we’ve let you in on what she’s wearing so you can get the look ;)

We know everyone is thinking about New years Eve, but we’re thinking a little more long term and looking at our wardrobes for the entire Summer season.

Here’s our list of what you need to make sure you’re able to walk out the door feeling and looking like Carrie Bradshaw’s style muse.

  • A great pair of shorts like our Make a Scene or Iconic sequin shorts
  • Cute basic shorts for the day like our Paisley shorts featured
  • A good light blazer for colder Summer days/nights like the Dedication blazer featured here
  • A cut-out tank top like our Island tops featured here
  • A hot little Summer dress like our Mesmerised dress
  • Statement necklace/ cuff so you can easily add some pep to your look
  • Basic belt to waist your dresses.
  • Sunglasses (we’re into  the Cats Eye trend)


We had the Show Pony Christmas party last Friday and it was definitely the biggest night of the year! We partied it up at a Casino Royale themed party in a glamorous beach side mansion, and we wanted to share our fun with you :) This amazing mansion is one of a kind and we felt very lucky to be living in Sydney right then! With down to earth bartenders mixing a mean vodka tonic, a pool with our favourite Giant Swans, some pumping tunes, gourmet pizzas, and a no limits poker table, we definitely had a LOT of fun!

Here’s to a very Show Pony Christmas filled with champagne, great food and great clothes!

Photoshoot day!

We had three of our lovely Show Pony models in for a fun day of shooting with photographer Ben Scott. Models Aley Greenblo, Alex Talifero and Kaitlin Harasta  hung out with us at Show Pony HQ for the day to shoot some of our new Summer arrivals.

We chilled out, we mucked around and basically just had a lot of fun as always!! Get a peek at some of our new arrivals and the behind the scenes fun.

We’re so excited to introduce a new face to the Show Pony model crew next year with the Next Face of Show Pony competition. A lucky girl will be getting to join in on all the fun soon!
