MBFWA outfit, day 2.

 I rarely dress so effeminately on a day-today basis but if MBFWA isn't an appropriate context to channel one's inner sartorial cream puff with exaggerated ruffled hems and lacey bomber jackets in an all-white palette, then I certainly do not know where else on golly earth one may indulge in such extravagances. The key to colour-block dressing is ensuring that there is plenty of detail to catch the eye and perhaps just the slightest pop of colour, whether it be a smear of orange lipstick (mine was done by the lovely ladies at Maybelline), neon nails, or a bold statement accessory. 

My first experience of MBFWA may well and truly be over but that is not to say that the adventure ends there! After a weekend of my final ED shifts (morose goodbyes on my part, I loved my time there), last-minute rendezvous with friends, and frantic packing in between, I am finally in New York! Couldn't have asked for a more spectacular greeting as I arrived in my gorgeous hotel The Bentley with a dazzling view of the glittery New York skyline at dusk.

Am currently in Sydney for Mercedes-Benza Fashion Week Australia and feel so thrilled to be here to represent my little blog in a few of my favourite labels. These images of my day one outfit were taken atop the rooftop of The Crown Hotel, which, on the cusp of sunset, is a delirious haze of warm scintillating golden light. And whilst admiring the view, I couldn't help notice that it is a rather apt metaphor for my life of late what with the past few weeks a blur of consecutive work shifts, the current whirlwind of MBFWA, and then New York next week, it is impossible to have any sense of lucidity ... but wouldn't give it up for the world ... 

Much love, Mandy. xx
