MBFWA Bluejuice Style: Day One

Fashion Week be like woah.

________

As you know from my last post (ahem, and if you follow along on Instagram), I was flown to Sydney to celebrate Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia to do an Instagram takeover for the fabulous label, Bluejuice. Now, one thing you might not know about me is that I don't deal well with spontaneity; I need things perfectly planned out, one by one. With just one and a half days to organise just about everything, including outfits, schedules and meetings was pretty damn hectic.

On the first day of MBFWA, I woke up super early to get ready and head on over to Park Avenue PR, where I pulled a whole bunch of amazing looks from the Bluejuice winter collection (which, for your information, is probably my favourite yet!). Unfortunately, when I got back to my apartment to quickly get dressed before rushing to Carriageworks, I found that the majority of the clothes didn't fit me. [Insert panic here.] I managed to pull together this look with the help of some bulldog clips (a stylists' best friend, apparently) hiding underneath a fabulously soft trench coat. Sneaky, sneaky.

Styled with a quirky clutch by Sarah's Bag, Haati Chai wrist wear (both via Fork Your Style) and my go-to Tibi boots, I was ready to go backstage at Bec & Bridge with the lovely ladies at  Skinstitut. The rest of Day One was filled with catching-up with lots of blogger babes (pictured above, Karissa), street style photographers, journalists, as well as running from show to show, including Watson x Watson and Daniel Avakian. Needless to say, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow that night, even if it was a sleep short-lived.

And, just in-case you haven't yet, head on over to the  @bluejuiceclothing Instagram for all of my looks and Fashion Week coverage!
