A Friday with Chanel meant an early morning trip to HQ for a very special manicure. It was there that appliqué logo stickers were applied to perfectly polished fingernails as we buzzed in excitement for what was to come, and to preview some of Chanel's Coco Crush Fine Jewellery of which BLACKPINK's Jennie Kim is one of the faces of, before seeing her in concert later that night.

Fast forward to that evening, we gathered early at Sydney's Bambini Trust restaurant with friends Vicki Lee, Ted O'Donnell, Sarah Ellen, Paulina Paige Ortega, Mikka Byarugaba, Yasmin Suteja, and more, to feast on French fare before the BLACKPINK Born Pink Sydney concert. There was scampi pasta and steak frites and lemon meringue tart and a Chanel-themed quiz, which left us all giggling and guessing answers for a special prize. Inside our prize boxes were gifts of Chanel Coco Crush Fine Jewellery bracelets, the most special adornment we could imagine before we piled into cars that took us to the concert.

Once there, the energy was high. Meeting the moment with friendship and laughter and excitement to see some of the world's biggest superstars, live in concert. We sipped on champagne and covered ourselves with merch, dancing along to the group's incredibly catchy beats.

It was a night to remember, the energy heaving with that of devoted BLINKs, all waving their heart-shaped lights in the air as the group of four sang and danced to their most popular hits. Below, is a photo diary from the evening that was.
