Melbourne Spring Fashion week is over!
Had great fun, was an insanely busy time as the dental ball was just round the corner.

thats over now of course, but man, that was a hectic few weeks!

A quick recap of the events

Attended Fashion Escalation at Collins 234, standouts for me were the Braun Buffel accessories and La Bella Donna dresses. Not a long show at all, but i guess i understand the technical difficulties of takng photographs of models on moving escalators! Can see the article here

Also attended the Girls' Day Out event, to watch the Makybe stakes
was sent a lovely ticket for the VIP area in the fashion marquee
there were magnums of Krug on the tables
and i was given Bobbi Brown makeup and Voodoo legwear
which more than made up for me losing on the favourite.
Dont mind admitting this, i m not a huge follower of the races
i usually just put money on the favorite or a horse whose name i like, haha.

didnt bother stepping out of the marquee to watch, was too cold and rainy! All the usuals were present at the event,

the ambassadors
the WAGS and also a couple of footballers.

they had the best desserts, my favourite were these baby sorbet cones!

And to keep in the spring races theme, also attended the Caufield Races launch party.

was held in the Peninsula, and that, my friends, was a party i never wanted to leave. you ll see why in a second. the place was made up in an incredible fashion.

just occured to me i shouldnt give too much detail in case i ever want to throw something similar! hee hee

Gorgeous isnt it?

the Caufield cup

Roving mannequins on the night

event was sponsored by BMW so there were a few Beemers around as well.

Reasons why i didnt want to leave.

1. S Pacific oyster bar.
2. Freshly made mini pancake bar with fresh strawberries and chocolate sauce

3. Event was partly sponsored by Schweppes, so there were Agrum cocktails aplenty. If you look closely, the bartender is scorching the lemon rind before dropping it into the martini glass. Picked up something new for my party repertoire!
