It's Tuesday, so it must be Auckland
Tuesday, October 18, 2005
It's only Tuesday and I'm already knackered.

I flew up to Auckland first thing this morning for New Zealand Fashion Week, and am cramming in three shows (Trelise Cooper, Zambesi & IPG) before I fly back home again tomorrow morning.

Yes, I'm with all the lovies. The beautiful. The cool. The fashion people, darling. I'll stick out like a sore thumb (a sore and chubby thumb) LOL.

I managed to get freebie tickets to these shows thanks in part to my work, a friend who works for one of the sponsors and another friend who owns a boutique. I have spent most of today freaking out over what to wear! I mean, I'll be sharing tent space with Cameron Silver* and Diane Pernet**.

(I decided on knee-length tailored shorts, a double layer tank top, a fitted short jacket and these wicked wedge shoes, on loan from my friend, the boutique owner LOL. I've got a the requisite shades and trendy bag, so I think I'm set to go).

Apparently, there are goodie bags too! But, I've been told under no circumstances am I to look in it at the shows. It will kill me, but it's all about being cool LOL.

The rest of the week is going to be a blur...here's the diary:

So, it's going to be a bit busy there for a bit. In between all this stuff, I've somehow got to fit in my other work commitments, shopping for a wedding present and appeasing my bf as I'll be away for his birthday, which is today. So, happy birthday babe!

*Cameron Silver is a very influential stylist and was responsible for started the vintage vibe again.
