I haven’t been to a Beauty Bloggers meet/event in a long time, so when the Michaela from Lather Rinse Repeat put it out to a few of us before Christmas last year, I jumped at the chance to see everyone again and also meet a few people I had conversed with on Twitter whom I was dying to meet.
Although it was a dismal day out, I was looking forward to the High Coffee which was held at the beautiful InterContinental Sydney Hotel.
We ate so much food and drank SO much coffee, I don’t doubt that there must have been at least half a dozen of us still high on caffeine at 2am that following morning – I know that I was!
Here are some photos I took and posted on day. Enjoy!
