Starting from page one, left to right, top to bottom. If you need more – let me know!
1. Should be simple, instructions say just point and shoot. Note to self, don’t put finger over lens like this again (pictured left.)
2. And so it begins. Game face on. Remembering which invites to bring on what day is half the battle. I don’t settle into the rhythm until Thursday. Something of a slow learner.
3. The travelling wardrobe also included a selection of heels, hairspray and umbrella. Although I really shouldn’t have bothered with the last two. Cheers Auckland weather, you were at your skitzophrenic best this FW. Particularly enjoyed the hail en route to breakfast before the Ruby show.
4. I’m officially loving our silky strawberry sisters. Orange you glad you’re ginger?
5. Nicest people of fashion week: Brooke Fraser, Derek Warburton and this chick. FW ushers range from frantic to self-important, downright rude and all the way to gormless or braindead. This gorgeous girl was a ray of sunshine in every show that she helped to seat us in.
6. To-die-for pins @ Annah Stretton. Dress isn’t bad either.
7. Yeah Trelise. I’m loving the pom-poms. Hott. (NB. two t’s cos they’re extra hot)
8. Messy beehive / big hair / LOVE
9. Collarbones are my favourite bones. They look crazy-sexy-beautiful in this cut-out creation. Perfect for detracting attention away from boobies (or lack thereof)
10. The haul of goodies. Minus a goody bag I gave to my taxi-driver lady. Judging by the goody bags this year, NZ is still feeling the recession. I figure female taxi drivers might feel it even more than fashionistas.
11. Hmmm, what to do between Salasai and Stolen Girlfriend Club? Go find/make friends who like champagne as much as me.
NB. There are no photos for Friday. I’m not stupid enough to provide photographic evidence.
13. And still my fashion week continues! Rolling on into Saturday to film backstage for Phoenix House of Makeup and open the show. Now have a slight girl-crush on Sally from Shortland St. One of the best bodies @ FW.
14. Claire Hahn, Me, Zeisha. Claire used 10 metres of fabric on the roses alone. Weighed a tonne. But she stole the show, whatta hot mama. I’m feeling significantly under-dressed and suffering from a severe lack of make-up. It’s not often I get to say that. Thanks Phoenix for showing us how to flirt with our wild side.
