Ion Orchard turns five this October. We’ve had heaps of fun celebrating their anniversary with them this month, from introducing guests to YSL Beaute’s Holiday collection to holding a fashion flash mob last Saturday. One other event that took place last Thursday was an exclusive shopping date with Female readers at the Alice + Olivia boutique. See the photos here:
