Fashion Week only swings around once a year in Australia so come May everyone in the industry is lining up their outfits, pillaging pr agencies, last minute online shopping, loaning from friends and otherwise spending solid quality time in front of the mirror.

Secretly, she is also hilariously funny, Sagittariusly honest to a fault, disarmingly open and a dear friend I have loved for a decade.
