And so it begins...

Well it all kicked off last night with the launch soiree for the country's 10th NZ Fashion Week and this year the coveted event is flying solo without a naming right sponsor. I kinda like it, it makes it seem orginal and impartial - and it's certainly easier to say! But thankfully, Air New Zealand still came to the party to bestow the Designer Export Award upon the very worthy lads at Huffer. Well done team.

But as any seasoned fashion weeker knows, the launch night is not for letting your hair down. There's a big week ahead and a lot of heel tottering to be done. So it was just a brief appearance made by this little mouse, but it was still a great opportunity to break out my new Mulberry get-up I picked up after last week's show. Let the games begin!

A bright blue Mulberry frock matched with a cropped jacket adorned with bows (from their SS11 NY show) was the perfect way to start the sweek of style feasting.
