1. Bella Hadid making her Australian Fashion Week debut. Snapchat went into overdrive when the LA-based model - and younger sister of Gigi Hadid - hit the runway, walking exclusively for Misha Collection. Expect sales for designer Michelle Aznavorian’s corseted dresses and LBDs to start soaring.

3. Portable phone chargers. Our Polyvore charger has proved the ultimate Fashion Week accessory this week, keeping our tech gadgets in sync and powered up for social media snapping. If only it could carry our laptops too.

4. Kate Peck. The refreshingly frank and uber cool former model and MTV VJ was only too happy to catch up with Be in between shows. With those pins, Peck can rock a pair of killer heels (or sneakers) like no other. And we're loving that orange-matte red lip. We have a new girl crush.

1. Disgruntled security guards minding the backstage doors. We get you’re doing your job but there’s no need to be rude. Especially when we have media access.

2. Paying $20 for an unsatisfying salad. It’s fashion week so we’ll take what we can get while on the run in between shows. Tomorrow we’re coming prepared with extra snacks. And may order pizza.

3. Snappy models barking at beauty editors backstage. “My hair is not done yet” one quipped when a beauty writer tried to take a snap for her story. Breathe, ladies. It’s only day two.

4. Sore feet. Two days down and our feet are feeling the fashion week fatigue [pain]. Day three we’re busting out the sneakers.
