There's nothing quite like the feeling of going to a fashion event. Fashion Weekend Sydney was no different. Rocking up in a polka-dot ROMWE dress, DIY monochrome accordion necklace and a red blazer, I had a blast when I went on Friday night.
My first stop was at the NP Set Makeup and Lash Bar, where the makeup artists were giving out makeovers for $40 which was redeemable with purchases. I opted for a smoky bronze look with a bright red lip. It was such a great learning experience for me - and I was smitten with the cute directors' chairs and the makeup suitcases!
I was very pleased with my decision to go with the Platinum ticket when I witnessed the 100m long line to the Catwalk. I was able to get front-row seats (just behind the VIPs on a raised level) and a perfect view of the catwalk. I was in one of the aisle seats which allowed me to perch precariously in my chair to take snaps. Sadly, most of the pictures I took during the catwalk were blurry. I did record a great video of the show though. The notable designers on show during FWS included Bec & Bridge, StyleStalker, Watson x Watson, Hussy, Natasha, Nicola Finetti and Tululah.
The highlight of my evening was probably the mini-fashion photoshoot with The Photo Studio Broadway. The photographer, James, was so good and I had a great time shooting with him. But that's not the exciting part. Whilst I was waiting for my photo to be developed, he stopped shooting for a bit and came up to talk to me about how he would love to do another photoshoot with me at the studio. So naturally, I couldn't refuse the offer and I made a promise to him that I would see him sometime before my HSC. I also spoke with one of the models, Erin, and she revealed that her secret to a toned body was pole-dancing. It got me intrigued and I wouldn't mind giving pole-dancing a go.
Being in the The Photo Studio photoshoot also meant that I entered into the The Face of Fashion Weekend competition. The winner will get an amazing magazine style fashion shoot including:

By the end of the night, I was giddy with happiness as I had not only received many many compliments for my outfit, but i had also gotten snapped by the official FWS photographer and scored a foreign magazine interview.
