Chelsea Donaldson

Today was epic, and a challenge to say the least.

Dedicated that I am to updating everything everyday on my little blog, I'm averaging about 5 hours sleep a night. Nonetheless, I haul myself out of bed and attempt to pretty up each day before taking on fitting after fitting after fitting after fitting.

Today was the final day of fittings for models who were unable to make their previous fittings during the week. Ironically, the two biggest reasons for this was Sydney shows and school.

First off the rank was the so very very beautiful Chelsea Donaldson. At 17 years old she is completing high school by correspondence, just got her P plates, and just finished her first season at Paris Fashion Week.

She is also the cousin of Lily Donaldson, and is driving herself to the fashion festival despite 'growing up in Byron where we don't even have roundabouts'.

Here's hoping she makes it in one piece!

Still looks amazing despite getting up at 3:30am to fly from Sydney to Brisbane for her fitting.

Scanlan and Theodore, and a touch of diamond dust.

This is Matt from Scanlan and Theodore.

I accosted him with my questions in the elevator after he finished his fitting. As one does.

Matt's week went like this:

Monday- Melbourne

Tuesday - Sydney

Wednesday- Perth

Thursday - Brisbane

Friday - Melbourne

Superhero? Almost! He is the national visual merchandiser for Scanlan and Theodore with 10 stores under his control. He is also super speedy at fittings.

Ticks in all the boxes if you ask me.

This picture is in no way related to Scanlan and Theodore, but I took it, then found it today on my laptop and had to share it with the world. Sells at a starting price of $1000 a piece (approximately).

GORGEOUS jewellry sprinkled in diamond dust. Literally!

See if you can spot it in various shows throughout the week.

Easton Pearson

The lovely ladies of Easton Pearson were an hour late to their fitting.

They unveiled their collection, and all was forgiven.

With them was Jane Roarty, creative director of Marie Claire magazine.

She's the woman walking with haste to the left of Pamela. So speedy she's a blur.

La La Latrobe

The collection is gorgeous, lots of glitter, lots of girly flouncy pieces and if you're going to the show - keep your eyes peeled for the shoes.

Sarva and Princess Chic

I'd like to introduce you to Tanya Williams from Princess Chic, also known as a shoe queen. She has very generously lent her gorgeous little friends to Lady Petrova, Jacqueline Buck and Sarva (just to name a few) and has patiently waited for several hours each day to make sure every designer had what they needed from her. She also brings me an updated run through sheet every day, so extra brownie points to her for that one.
