MBFF 2009 Part 2

Hey lovelies! This is the second part of the Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival. On Monday night, Laura, Kristina and I went to one of the ready to wear group shows.

Beforehand, Laura and I met up to have a light dinner. Then Kristina came and we all went to City Hall together from there.

Laura and I outside before we went in. It was another beautiful night weather wise.

When we got there they were giving out Napoleon Perdis samples and they had a little set up to get your lips done. I was taking some random photos of Laura with her fancy camera.

And I got this one. I'm quite proud of this =) The light is really pretty in the background.

Laura took this one. I didn't have the guts to have any colour besides a neutral shade. One day I might try a colour.

This is Kristina and me before the show. City Hall is a beautiful old building that was shut for awhile for renovations. They have this lovely marble staircase in the main foyer. I had my year 12 formal at City Hall.

It was a lot harder to take photos at this show. So I let Laura do it =) I loved this dress and the back is so pretty.

The most embarrassing thing that happened was one of the models dresses fell off her shoulder right when she went to the end of the runway so all the photographers had a good shot of her boob. She handled it pretty well but then it fell down again when she was facing us going back up the runway. I know models have to deal with situations like that but still it would suck.

They gave everything these little gift bags from Napolean, which were quite cute.

I would really like to try out Napoleon sometime. I see it at the shopping centre when I work and I've always felt compelled to try it out.
