On location

At this time of year, the Cosmo fashion team normally goes away on a trip somewhere beautiful and exotic to shoot the holiday season fashion stories. This time round, we are going to a couple of different local places –– as in, in Australia! Nicole and Lotta are going to the north-west of Australia and I am going up the east coast.

While these trips are super exciting, they can sometimes be stressful: getting hotrod models who fit your desired travel dates; choosing a talented photographer and magical hair/make-up team who you want to have around for the whole time; and getting the accommodation to work out. Other major factors are budgets (eugh!) and weather. These are all playing on my mind at the moment as I am about to embark on a three-day, three-story trip up the coast (that's right; no spare days if Mother Earth decides to send rain upon me!) as a solo Cosmo rep.

Yesterday, my editor left for a Russian holiday, so I nicked her for a moment to have my stories approved before she left. Now that my outfits are happening, I am three-quarters ready to go … but there's still loads to be done. This time next week I will be blogging about my escapades and may even have some happy snaps for you! Pray to the weather gods that the rain holds out for me next week!
