I LIKE BIG BAGS
Every seasoned pro knows the secret to a happy fashion week is having a pair of flats on her at all times. Not only do I carry shoes, but water, camera and a notepad, so I need a bag that can house all my goodies and be gorgeous at the same time. This pretty python bag does all of that and more, so I look forward to strutting the streets with this Italian beauty in tow this month.

CHASING RAINBOWS
My heart skipped a beat when I saw the Valentino Resort 2015 collection and then firmly set on the midi skirt bursting with bright colours. This fashion month you’ll find me trotting down Milan’s cobbled streets singing: “Red and yellow and pink and green, purple and orange and blue…”

FUR SURE
Let’s just break this down. It’s Fendi. It’s fur. It’s new season and it’s covered in small glittery bursts of joy. It takes jeans to the next level and makes a party of pencil skirts. And – basically – it’s a 100 per cent guarantee that I am going to win at fashion week. Hear that, Anna? I win.

GONE AWOL
With a digital take on camo print this M Missoni cardi-coat nails two trends in one. Being so light, it’s perfect for fashion week when layers constantly come on and off throughout the day. Teamed with my favourite Chloé shades and a simple dress, I’m good to go.

A-O’KAYY
Flying the flag for local talent, I spend hours rifling through rails and reading press releases about the latest and greatest to come out of the region. My most recent obsession is with The Kayys, three Qatari sisters who are shaking up the fashion scene. This embellished jacket won’t only get me though this season, but through years to come as well.

PACK A PUNCH
My three rules for reaching street style super-status are: 1. A microscopic hemline, 2. A splashy print, and 3. A pair of heels as tall as table legs. This 60s-inspired combo by Versace ticks all the boxes and is sure to be a paparazzi favourite at fashion week.
