From runways to bed

Hello kiddos! 

So this is what's been happening around here. A couple of weeks ago Melbourne hosted their annual Melbourne Spring Fashion Week in which there was a series of events going around the city. I got the chance to manage my time and attend several of the free runways and still go back to work and finish what I needed to do. Such a crazy week brought me down (health-wise) but since I'm stronger I came through.

The following week I managed to finally finish my paper (from one of my earlier experiments at work) and submit it for publication. I'm hoping (so pray for it!) that it will get reviewed quickly and accepted easily. I need it to happen. Badly. Anyway, right after that I went for the VIP night and Vogue Runway in Chadstone. I wanted to check on the sales but really, there wasn't much of what I wanted (on sale!). I want a white lace dress and a black leather jacket. But my wallet is still crying after I had to buy a laptop because the other one decided to stop working (and I can't write my thesis without a proper computer).

Right after the runway I was able to go to the Australian Designer Cocktail Party presented by Vogue Australia, in which I had several glasses of champagne and a lot of yummy canapés (zuccini and prawn was my favourite!). Of course all of this thanks to Mallory who I met during MSFW (since I was her +1 that night). So, I know that cold weather does not make you sick, but it did aggravated my already down immune system, specially since I had to go back home late at night, without a coat (because I forgot it). So Thursday morning I woke up with the obvious headache that I get after drinking wine, but I was still fine, although with a severe sore throat. That night was my friends graduation, and I decided to scream once he received his diploma. Oh foolish me. That was it for me. My throat was destroyed and Friday morning I woke up entirely sick. But I still managed to go to work (I'm amazed of myself).

Still, that bravery act cost me during the weekend since I've been in bed for three days now. As I said before, I've been super busy and stressed with several things. And I was praying for some free time where I could rest and sleep for more than 5 hours (like my housemate that wakes up after midday, oh how I wish I could do that!). Well, I wasn't expecting at all to get it this way. But looking at the bright side, despite the fact that I fell asleep with a box of kleenex next to my pillow and breathing through my mouth, I got some free time to watch different kind of movies, from Legally Blonde to Factory Girl, to Men in Black (the Avengers is paused right now while I write this). And today that I feel way better and my eyes are not watery and I can stand looking at the screen of my laptop, I used my time to edit my photos.

So during the next days I'll be posting (lately) about the events I got to attend during MSFW (the different runways that I haven't got to post yet) and the Vogue Runway. So for now, I just leave you with a clearer  (and dry) airway (is that too much info?) and some photos from the runway.

Good fight. Good night.
