Sydneysider posting. 
As my wonderful, yet stressful journey of being a fashion intern continues, last week I found myself working on another exciting event- the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival! 
For anyone contemplating on doing it but not sure if it's worth it or not.  I say do it because it really is an experience that not a lot of people will ever get to try.
It can be hard work at times for example, on the first day I volunteered to do a 13 hour shift and boy was I dead by the end of it! But the end result is worth it and you get to meet people that you admire in the industry whilst pulling a few contacts (which is always good.) Also, think about all the goodie bags you get to steal after the show ;)

Sydneysider posting. I'm sure you've all heard of this place but for those who haven't, Miss Chu is the place to go! I've never been a fan of Vietnamese restaurants, simply because they seem a bit daunting and I can never understand what I'm ordering but what makes Miss Chu so different is how it brightens up the whole Vietnamese experience by making it fresh and fun. 


The place is foremost an outside take-out joint that pushes its customers to order online rather than stay and eat (marketing brilliance). The one in Darlinghurt puts warm blankets on their chairs for the people who do end up staying outside.


When you go, be sure to try the peking duck pancakes but order four or more because they're pretty small.

Free tea is always a plus in my books!

Sydneysider here! Today I had the privilege of working with one of Australia's leading designers, the one and only Wanye Cooper. The girls at Arc Factory asked if I could assist the photo shoot for his AW13 look book and of course I was on it like a fat kid and a cupcake! Wayne is such a brilliant man and his family is just as amazing. You'd be surprised how totally down to earth and hilarious he is. We shot the beautiful Rebecca Bisset for the collection (be sure to look out for her, she's only 19 years old and models as if she been doing it for years!)

My favourite piece out of the entire collection was this neon green dress (picture below). I love how we're now introducing more and more colour into winter. I'm going to try and only wear black as a desperate 'safe' option.
