Last week I received a package from Gloss Accessories delivered to my home. There it was, an entire week long invitation to celebrate the fabulous Rosemount Sydney Fashion Festival Spring Summer 10/11. I jumped, screamed, laughed, cried and celebrated of course.
The fashion festival started on Monday night at the famous Sydney Town Hall with a very glamourous opening gala celebrating 15 years of Marie Claire Australia. Marie Claire also hosted this night and they did an amazing job. Natasha Williams (PR for Gloss Accessories) and myself prepared our best outfits for the night.
As soon I walked in I could see cameras flashing and hear great music. I was pinching myself as I scanned the room full of the who’s who of Sydney fashion. I turned to Natasha and said, “I think I just died and went straight to fashion heaven”
Not that it wasn’t good enough that I was attending almost all of the shows and being able to photograph anything, Gloss Accessories had also reserved us VIP entry (excuse me!). So there we were heading to our fabulous spot. Rosemount wines, Rosemount champagne…. Rosemount, Rosemount… What else could I ask for? I know… nothing right?
After the show I had the pleasure to meeting some other fashion bloggers. The most notable would have to of been Gala Gonzales from http://am-lul.blogspot.com/
On the runway my camera was working overtime. I was also trying to tweet at the same time but as you can imagine that really wasn’t working for me. I feel as though my photographs could have been better but that is just me critiquing myself. Lee, put down your phone and don’t get so excited. Here are some of my previews from the opening night. I hope you enjoy

First off, I had NO idea you were so handsome, sir. Mr. Yowzah.
What a great treat, and it’s so cool to see you REALLY appreciate it! I would LOVE to be in your very fashionable shoes right about now…
And the photos…you are amazing! I tried my hand at a couple of hometown fashion shows, and it wasn’t easy! Yours are so clear and the outfits and the models look amazing. Talented and handsome, you’re going places!
Lee you’re so lucky to have had this amazing experience. I’m heading to NYWF in a couple of weeks, and I’m hoping to be able to get an invite to at least one show! I think I would be beside myself with glee if it actually happened.
love the hair! great photos (:
Nice clothes! Amazing experience!
Lots of Love♥
lucky you! love your enthusiastic spirit!
Amazing, loved the Sass&Bide, TOOOP!!!
Hey Lee!
Oh its always such a pleasure getting comments from you
Wow and what an exciting opportunity and experience for you this would have been!! You look very handsome! Love the skinny tie. Sounds like you’re on you’re way to the top so keep it up! I think its hard to take decent photos with that kind of lighting, im really excited as Ive bn invited to attend NZ Fash Week and I want to be able to take good photos too, so if you have any advice swing it my way! Also, how cool is Gala! SO jealous! I bet shes even more beautiful in real life.
Love x
OMG! i have been a huge fan of Gala since 2009 and i was trying to use her for a campaing which fell thru because of her scheldule clashing with timing
but im so glad you met her shes so amazing. I hope next time she brings Pelayo from http://www.katelovesme.net/ he is also just as amazing. Than you for starting my monday morning with a bang woohhooo have a great week buddy x
