The West Coast Cooler FASHIONWEEK entered its 20th season to showcase A/W collections from local designers to high-end couture labels. Twitter pal Leah won tickets to the Saturday night event, the Excel Clothing runway show and kindly offered her spare one to me.
Silent Testimony

I am not a fan of Hallowe’en – the most excited I get is when I go to the Monster Mash in Titanic Quarter, Belfast for the fireworks. Saying that, it is always fun to get a little creeped out.
