LFW: Fashion week fatigue

Are you suffering from any of the following symptoms?
  • Shoulder pain as a result of lugging cloth bags full of press releases, hair product and oodles of Vitamin water
  • Waving your shopping list in the queue of Sainsburys, in the manner of waving a ticket at a PR to try speed up the process
  • Over analysing your outfit 24/7. Even at home. Asleep. On a Monday night.
  • Cupcake-shakes
  • Slight tremor in your eye as a result of dull champagne-induced hangover combined with lack of sleep and poor diet. See above re: cupcakes
  • Constant burning of soles due to extremely impractical shoes
  • The sniffles (mostly because your jacket doesn't match your sheer dress and you don't care about the rain)
  • Twitpic-ing from the catwalk, which is the area where your cat walks towards her bowl of food and bed
  • Your life feels empty with poundingpoundingtechnomusic
If you answer "Yes" to more than one of these, you may be suffering from "Fashion week fatigue". Commonly suffered by journalists, PRs and buyers, this syndrome is catching eager bloggers too.

Please do not fret. This is a treatable condition. Rest. Step away from Somerset House. Eat some fruit. I'm in recovery too.
In the meantime, I've got a few shows to ramble about over the next week or so. Nothing serious, just some light hearted chitchat about some great designers.

I hope everyone had a great (womens) London Fashion Week for S/S 2011. See y'all in February?

Hahahaha what a funny post.
Fi, for the past 4-5 days my diet were awful...having to survive on jelly beans and vitamin water without proper food.....was a torture. I'm slowing recovering.

Spot on! I stupidly ate all the cupcakes on Friday and then felt absolutely awful for the rest of the day and spent most of my time trying to find more cupcakes to revive me.

I just slept 8 hours and got up and I think my body is thinking 'are we dressing up and going out in contraption you call heels again?' seriously, my whole body hurts, not even joking :'(
Oh Fi, wish I'd seen you more, but I hope you had a wonderful LFW and all that!

No one could have summed it up better, and it feels so good that its not only me as the rookie who experienced all the symptoms trust me next time I will be more prepared. xx
