Kookai dress, earrings and hat, Marc Jacobs sunglasses

It's funny how during stressful exam periods, you'll get distracted by absolutely anything and you'll let anything distract you from the harsh reality that you'd be studying for another 10 hours.

So here I am.. being distracted.. This dress sort of reminds me of a lollipop and has become a favourite in my summer wardrobe. We shot this in Wattamolla in the Royal National Park.. whilst gracefully wading around the water for the photos, I failed to notice the blue-bottle jellyfish being washed in. Needless to say that once I realised, the graceful wading turned into a panicked bolt for shore.

Catching Up

Rag & Bone pants, Kookai top, Hermes scarf, Jimmy Choo flats, Mulberry bag

It's been a crazy few months of working and studying that I've had no time or energy to focus on this blog.. but I hope that after November 26th I will be able to dedicate a lot more time to improving this blog..

So these photos were taken on a trip down to Wollongong Nan Tien Temple.. a usual pre-exam ritual that I must undergo..

Bettina Liano shorts, Sass & Bide top and cape, Marcs belt, Kookai necklace, Giuseppe Zanotti boots

So the boy and I are off to the Hunter Valley for the weekend and hopefully I will have lots of photos from that to share with everyone!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week. I decided to post these photos that were taken a while ago from the abandoned tramyard visit we made..The sass and bide cape seriously reminds me of a superman cape.. whether it be a small breeze or gale-force winds.. the cape will always be trailing behind me, fluttering in the air

you say good morning, when it's midnight..

Arabella Ramsay dress, natasha jacket, vintage shoes,belt and shirt, oroton bag

So the editing of the first photo was courtesy of le boyfriend... when I saw this dress online I was really undecided on all the vast array of colours, but when I saw this at fashion weekend in person I knew that this dress was a must have in my wardrobe!

Taken on a day trip around Wollongong. The boy has been away for nearly 7 weeks now and finally arrives home in just under a week now! Very excited!

So the new addition to my ever growing lingerie collection is this Sass and Bide lace bra. Great addition to any girls wardrobe.

A little detour we took resulted in us finding a perfect little lookout and an awesome winding road by the ocean. Couldn't resist a stop for a couple of photos!

Ginger and Smart jumpsuit, kookai tribeca vest, chanel sunglasses, cambridge satchel, saba belt, nine west sandals

Took these photos just before exams started on a little trip down to Wollongong Nan Tien Temple. For those of you who don't know, I am Buddhist and this temple happens to be one of the most beautifully made and located ones I have ever been to.

Bought this jumpsuit at fashion weekend, and is probably one of my favourite purchases from the day of intense browsing and crowding.

a new me will fill the space..

So I have finally finished my exams and have been working everyday since.. Also happy to announce that my puppy will be arriving soon! I cannot wait!

This skirt that I'm wearing will be available for sale soon so if any of my readers are interested please do let me know as I have two of this gorgeous skirt, and also a dress in the same print which will also go on sale. The skirt and dress are both a size 8 AUS which is equivalent to a size 0-2 US. Email me for details!

Sass & Bide dress, Kookai tribeca vest, sportsgirl hat, chanel sunglasses

By now, I think everyone knows that I work at Kookai and my recent purchase and addition to my exponentially expanding wardrobe is this tribeca vest! Absolutely adore this vest.. the fluffy parts are made from wool and the back of the vest is suede..

For those of you who are lucky enough to be in Australia and New Zealand, should definately get into your nearest store and grab one of these! It also comes in an off white colour.. but I, myself have always been more of a black girl than white..

Back to the missing photos from abandoned tramyard trip. Photos are taken inside one of the trams, each one is different and has its own personality (as strange as it sounds)

Won't be doing too much on the blog until after the 18th as I have finals which means many late night maccas runs.. gorging on junk food with nothing but the feeling of guilt afterwards.. minimal sleep and maximum sunlight deprivation.. constitutes a standard exam period for myself..

Ksubi top, sass and bide black rates, Louis Vuitton bag, kookai boots and necklace, chanel sunglasses, burberry scarf

So here are the rest of the photos of my Hunter Valley trip from early May..

We spent day 3 exploring the hunter valley gardens and the different themes.. but the favourite would definately be the story book land.. hey.. what can I say.. I never really grew up. Looking at these photos reminds me of how freakishly long my hair use to be. Don't get me wrong, I don't really miss it.. and I love my new hair!

Scanlan & Theodore dress, cue blazer, samantha wills necklace, vintage belt, chanel sunglasses, Louis Vuitton bag

So here are some pictures of my new hair.. I have to say.. the lightness after the hairdresser snipped my pony tail was amazing. I can finally brush my hair without enduring agonizing pain from both my scalp and arm muscles from trying to detangle the crazy knots.

These photos were taken in the industrial part of Wollongong at Port Kembla.. This blazer was an impulse buy, as is with a lot of things in my wardrobe. But the shape of the blazer perfectly elongates my body.. makes me look that little bit taller which is never a bad thing =)

Stolen Girlfriends Club Dress and poncho, Alexander Wang bag, aldo boots

I impulse bought this SGC poncho a while ago and have never found the time to actually wear it out surprisingly.. it sits rather nicely and I'm not quite sure why I haven't used it more.. it may be because various things always get lost in the blackhole that is my closet..

So exams are looming.. which means I may not have as much time to blog as I would like.. but I will definately try my best to blog as often as possible.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend! x

we're moving on and we'll be okay..

vintage dress and sweater, tony bianco wedges, sportsgirl feather shoulder piece

I've never really thought of orange as being my colour but when I saw this dress I just fell in love with the shape and colour and convinced myself that every girl needs at least ONE orange piece in her wardrobe.. no matter how much she doesn't suit it.

As for the other pieces.. the sweater was a new find from vintage stores in Newtown.. fell in love with the softness and warmth. It originally came with a crazy load of beading however I picked them all out.. and let me tell you.. it was not an easy feat.

Had an amazing few weeks and I hope everyone else has too! xx

Day 2: Wine Country

//Market Shopping

//Audrey Wilkinson Winery

//Brokenwood Winery

//Wine tasting at Pooles Rock Winery

Alice Mccall dress, sportsgirl hat, Louis Vuitton bag, nine west sandals

Beginning the recap of Day 2 in Australia's wine country.. Breakfast of pancakes and fresh banana bread kept us going for a good 80% of the day. And no.. I was not the chef.. that privilege was given to Matt. I possess no skills what-so-ever when it comes to anything in the kitchen.

We set out on a big day of wine tasting at around 11am.. found a local market place on the way and stopped to check it out for little trinkets.. and then beginning with Pooles Rock we started the wine tours, followed by Brokenwood, Audrey Wilkinson and Peppertree.

As you can see the day has been fairly well documented. Went home with reds and dessert wines. We finished the day off by stopping by a train track in Neathe for some photos before stopping off at Woolies for some additional groceries we had forgotten. Our dinner theme for day 2 was Australian.. which involved a BBQ..followed by a close to 4 hour spa session (and boy were we cooked by the end of it).

You may wonder why we dressed so formally for wine tasting but we agreed on trying to find "sophisticated" outfits whilst not looking too over the top.. which I think worked quite well.. I managed to fish out an old favourite of mine.. an Alice Mccall cruise 08 piece..

Day 1: Wollombi

Nudie jeans, kookai top and boots, vintage fur jacket, sportsgirl hat, burberry scarf

So here are photos of day 1 of our trip. It really made me appreciate the beauty of being in the middle of nowhere with no reception or internet whatsoever..away from the hectic suburban life.. away from facebook for that matter haha.. The retreat had no reception (which was probably for the better as this weekend was for the sole purpose of relaxation), no internet, and only two proper tv channels.. however, it did come with a fireplace and outdoor spa. Needless to say spending most nights soaking our bodies until we resembled wrinkly dried prunes was definately on the agenda.

Day 1 was spent getting slightly lost with Matt's fantastic navigational skills and failure to believe that the female race may actually have some sense of direction =P (he lost his privilege to have any input in where to go) but eventually we found the town and found a place with reception to make a brief call to the reception of Mystwood. Eventually found the place and spent the afternoon settling in and getting well acquainted with the property's Groodle, Stella (she is a beautiful golden retriever cross poodle) who always manages to grace us with her presence whenever it was mealtime.

The rest of the night was spent in the spa.. followed by preparation for our Mexican themed night involving nachos and enchiladas. Luckily that we prepped for the lack of broadcast entertainment on our television and brought movies.. attempted to watch Paranormal Activity but just ended up falling asleep through 90% of it, however, I am told I didn't miss much.

Now, in terms of what I'm wearing, I've recently invested in two pairs of Nudie Jeans. After hours of shopping.. found 2 pairs which will be essentials in my winter wardrobe and daily school wear.

More details of day 2 and 3 coming soon!

After arriving home yesterday afternoon, surviving on 3 hours sleep from the night before.. I really haven't found the time or energy to upload the photos from the weekend. BUT I found this post in my drafts so I decided to post that for now!

To say that I had an awesome weekend would be an understatement! Photos will be uploaded soon of the adventures..

Hope everyone also had an amazing weekend! Stay tuned! Don't forget to become a //Follower of Fashion Euphoria!//

P.S. I've finally made the decision and taken the leap of faith and cut my extremely long hair!

Bettina Liano shorts, Acne top, Marcs belt, Giuseppe Zanotti boots, Oroton clutch

Wearing these new boots and having to walk across a rather dilapidated tram roof was a task and a half.. the questionable stability of the roof meant that I could only move with the aid of my friend Matt.

One of the things I love most about this top is the way it drapes... and how unstructured the scarf is. I have received many compliments for this top which I've also worn as a dress (with biker shorts underneath so that I don't have any unglamorous moments)

Will be heading away to the Hunter Valley this weekend for a few days of relaxation! Will post photos when I get back! x

oh and just a little aside since Easter has just passed.. we've made an easter bunny hunt tribute video! enjoy!

This lovely lil (well not so lil.. it's actually rather large) clutch was given to me by my beautiful best friend Bree, totally love it and had to take it out with me the next day!

I originally bought these shorts because of the beading detail .. however.. they have proven to be quite a nuisance.. getting the shorts on is a mission and a half to say the least..

somebody get security and escort us out..

Sass & Bide black rats, alpha 60 dress/top and belt, chanel sunglasses, tony bianco wedges

This dress (which can be converted into a top if you turn it around and upside down) has been in my wardrobe for quite some time now.. absolutely loved it when I purchased it.. brought it back out for the photos outside the abandoned tramyard.. and yes.. I am eating a chuppa-chup!

My love affair for the Australian designers of Alpha 60 would have definately begun with this dress.. their designs are so unique..

First few shots of my adventure in the abandoned tram yard with Mateusz.. really don't miss treading through the mud but the venue was awesome nonetheless..

So I bought these pants from Asos and just love them to death! Definately been a wardrobe favourite atm.

I also have exciting news.. Valerie will be again visiting me in Sydney next week and hopefully we'll document a few snapshots of us gallivanting around Sydney!

More posts to come soon! xoxo

Few shots with the girls at work!

I have the privilege of working with wonderful kookettes..

For those of you who don't know, I work in Kookai and I have been for almost a year now! The fashion is affordable, simplistic and classy. Couldn't ask for a better store to work in..

you never know what's coming your way

2011-04-10T02:15:00.000-07:00

Had a massive Friday night of intense dancing and drinking on my behalf. It involved a bottle of Moet, shots, and the company of great friends! Despite my wisdom tooth infection I still managed to have fun!

Danced into the wee hours of the morning.. destroyed my feet.. enjoyed the hangover the next day at work coupled with the excruciating pain in my mouth..all in all? fantastic weekend!

currently listening to rapture nonstop.. the avicii mix! thought I'd share with you all

new appreciation

Was early to work last week on a beautiful Sunday morning! So glad that I made the effort to come to Bondi before work because it sure was a long day and the morning sun and breeze made it somewhat bearable for me.

Sometimes I count myself lucky to live in such a beautiful country..

So this is my 100th post since starting this blog! And it will be about the recent renewal of my warranty. I am now 21, and not quite sure how to take it!

The birthday celebrations went off with a bang despite the horrid weather! Had THE most hectic 2 months of planning for it and not mention hectic day. It was like planning a miniature wedding.. So here's the recap:

30am - wake up
00am - went to the local primary school to vote in the election
00am - mani-pedi at Ruby Room
30am - hair appointment
00pm - make up appointment at Make Up Store
30pm - headed over to the boat with Mateusz to continue decorating
30pm - sped to Botany to pick up the cake and a bottle of Veuve!
00pm - check-in to Sofitel and got ready
00pm - taxi'd to Jones Bay Wharf
30pm - pulled into King St Wharf where the guests arrived! and so begins the party!!!

Posted up a few photos of highlight moments during the night! if you all haven't figured it out by now.. my theme was my two favourite colours: lime green and purple! mind you it was a very queer looking boat but we all looked fantastic in our vibrant colours!

Big thank you to all those that came! I love you all xxx

p.s. For those who are wondering.. my black dress is Scanlan and Theodore, whilst my fluro dress is Ginger and Smart ;)

when I'm too far gone..

2011-02-10T05:03:00.001-08:00

The 21st birthday is approaching which means frantic organization for me! Will get around to posting photos soon!

Here's a picture of a night out with one of my workmates. Wearing the Acne Atlantis dress!

Hope everyone is enjoying their week!

Cowboys & Indians!

Zimmermann dress, sportsgirl fur shawl, make up store lashes

Had a fantastic weekend celebrating my freedom with my besties 21st birthday bash! Had the wonderful theme of cowboys and indians which I thoroughly enjoyed dressing up for. was going for the Olga Kurylenko look from Centurion! (god I loved her from that movie)

The lashes drew quite some attention during the night and were surprisingly comfortable to wear.

Just wanted to say a Happy Birthday to my best friend Breeana!! xx

Quick Recap!

2010-11-17T18:22:00.000-08:00

Me and the birthday boy (I mean man haha)

This has got to be longest hiatus on record for me.. apologies to my readers for the extended absence. Work, assignments and training have consumed all my time I use to have available for blogging. Rest assured I will be back from the 30th of November!

In the meantime I have a few photos of my dear friend Robert's birthday! Enjoy!

Also decided to upload photos from our annual Conception Day in which I temporarily lost my camera but a dear friend of mine managed to hunt it down for me.. After mourning the loss for a few weeks.. it was returned to me! & a few photos here and there!

fun that can be had with no one else

My best friend and I had an action packed saturday but we still managed to find time to squeeze in a few photos whilst exploring this amazing sanctuary that's located just down the road from me. The view is serene and so peaceful! Can't believe I'm lucky enough to live so close to this haven.

drink from the fountain of youth, and never age again.

2010-07-29T19:23:00.000-07:00

Kookai top, skirt, belt, scarf, necklace. Natasha leather jacket, wayne cooper tights.  

I've finally found some time to do a quick post before rushing to work! Really just wanted to show everyone clearly my new hair.. I have to say it does make me look a few years younger (which is never a bad thing) compared to the usual comments of me looking older than my true age.

Still adjusting to the fact that I have to fix it every morning and having hair in my eyes 24/7 but a change is always good. Havent had time to figure out how to use my slr yet. So hopefully when I do.. I'll have much better photos!

Enjoy your weekend all! Much love from Australia!

xx

changes.

2010-07-26T13:59:00.000-07:00

Apologies for my month long hiatus. Just been so busy with work and regaining my non-existent social life. Whats new is that a new semester is beginning.. and Helen has now got a bang. It was one of those spontaneous decisions to change my hairstyle. I haven't had a front fringe before so it took quite some time to get use to.

Hope you all are well! xx

till we see the sunlight..

Joshua & Sean dress, sportsgirl tights, vintage boots, belt and jacket

As I said before.. definately obsessed with the comfort and beauty of this dress that can worn belted or unbelted and still great either way.

The jacket has kept me so warm this winter. I wear it almost everywhere I go, to work, out on dates with friends and everytime, I get compliments on how amazing it looks!

So I've finally managed to book my driving test to get my licence.. Ive been such an advocate of procrastination that I figured I couldnt put it off any longer. So I'm going to be a busy little beaver trying to organize as many driving lessons as I possibly can before the big day!

Been working so much that I haven't had time to do much, and soccer has officially killed my sleeping patterns. I wake up automatically like clockwork at 4am everyday haha.. but its so worth it because my team is still in it! GOO ARGENTINA!

A few more giveaways to come for this blog.. I'm slowly getting around to it so stay tuned!! btw dont forget to enter the 1 yr anniversary giveaway!!!

vintage cardi, sportscraft scarf, stellino skirt, shakuhachi bodysuit, vintage belt

One of the things I love about this cardi is the awesome array of crazy colours! I've never been someone to shy away from bright colours being so tanned and all.

Recently come across a lot of vintage belts given to me by my grandmother that use to belong to my mum. Been having fun trying to work them into everyday outfits and this is one of my favourites!

Amidst exams atm.. on the home stretch now! and i just cannot wait to be done! the past two weeks have been hellish.. spending 12+ hours a day cooped up in the library is rather depressing.. and on top of that.. catching a rotten cold from my darling little brother just really made it that much worse!

Been quite upset that exams have swallowed up so much of my time that I havent been able to keep up with the World Cup. On that note GOOD LUCK ARGENTINA FOR TONIGHT!! hoorah! who is everyone else supporting?!?

trying to replace a feeling without a name..

As final exams begin I find myself frantically trying to organise my time and I have just realized that I really dont have enough of it! If only there was a place in the world where we could purchase more time.

Spending vast amounts of the time in the library buried behind my books and my laptop listening to i-lectures. Cannot wait until after the 19th of June so I can begin on a few new projects I have planned for this blog!

The one year anniversary of this blog is nearing and I will be holding a special giveaway to my loyal readers and any followers! So keep coming back for updates and keep your peepers open!! Until then... tooodles everyone!

& wish me luck! because I will really need it!

chilled sunday afternoons..

Been spending my sunday afternoons every week at Botanical Gardens soaking in the sunshine and enjoying the spectacular view..

Here are just some random snapshots taken throughout the weeks! & sorry for the horrid mess that is my room =P Have been quite busy and have not had cleaning as one of my primary concerns.

Life with Bird top, Zhouk jacket, seduce pants, kookai boots, Gregory Ladner scarf, Sportsgirl necklace, Samantha Wills bracelet, Levis belt

As the weather transitions, I find myself trying to frantically grab everything in my wardrobe that I can layer with. Bought this top from the fashion weekend and I'm totally in love with the fit and look of it! Been so cold these last few weeks that I've had to pack away a lot of my summer gear. =(

My dearest mother recently bought me this leather jacket with somewhat of a power shoulder! absolutely love it!

PS Just a notice to all my dear follower about this fantastic new online retail store that is due to launch in fall called Sway. If you're interested then sign up to get updates!

Forever new blazer, kookai dress, nina armando heels

The outfit worn to my dear friend Mateusz' 21st birthday this weekend. Nearly froze into an ice pole though.. rain and wind and cold really dont mix well together. Aside from the dreadful weather it was an excellent night! and of course Happy Birthday to the birthday boy!

Totally in love with this Josh Goot style dress. Totally comfortable and well fitted! and of course the colours are mesmerizing. Spent a long time in the store choosing the dress with the right mixture of colours.. chose the one with an abundance of purple =)

PS. I have also got a questions box now so feel free to ask me any questions you like guys!

Fashion Weekend Shopathon!

A little commentary of some of the random photos from Fashion Weekend:
4. Samantha Wills store!
6. taken whilst waiting in line..
8. the line up at the Nicola Finetti show
12. demonstration of the Alexander Wang side braid
13. my new nine west heels

Had an awesome time at fashion weekend prancing around to all the stores in my sky high heels! =) had so many bags to carry in the end that I could barely lift my arms to answer my phone! Will definately be looking forward to next years event.

Nearly missed my catwalk show though.. thought it was at 12pm but was really at 11am and thankfully I thought to check at 11:05am and just made it in and was seated right before they dimmed the lights.

PS. NEW UPDATES TO SHOPFASHIONEUPHORIA!

Ksubi : ONE VIA ZERO

2010-05-13T21:04:00.000-07:00

Note: I was informed by Valerie that I demanded the boss of IMG to take this photo of us without even knowing haha!

So I was lucky enough to be invited by Valerie (Marley & Me) to the Ksubi fashion show! Had an awesome time with her! The most down to earth girl with the perfect job! and I sincerely hope she visits Sydney again!

I snapped a few pictures from the show but I have to say.. I think I belong somewhat in front of the camera rather than behind.. my photography skills are quite tragic so apologies if its not too clear!

Now to comment on the actual content.. a very strong denim influence but I guess that's expected as it is so popular atm. & the stop the slaughter range was rather spectacular too! the models were definately working all of George Gorrow and Dan Singles creations. fantastic line overall!

PS. finally got my ticket for fashion weekend hoorah!

Bought this body suit out of pure impulse. I considered at the time about when I would ever be daring and ballsy enough to wear it out in public. But then it came to me that it would be quite a fun thing to shoot with so I bought it.

Took me about 25 minutes in the change rooms to get it on properly after 4 failed attempts where I put it on backwards I eventually got the hang of it!

This feather shawl was given to me by my beautiful bestie for my birthday and it is one of my favourite new additions to my wardrobe! xxx

Found an interesting rooftop carpark to take photos..

though i have to admit standing on the ledge was probably the most scariest/dumbest thing ive ever done.. haha looking down at nothing but concrete 5 storeys down

there's nothing left to say..

Recently thrifted this beautiful vintage fur jacket! Fell in love with it as soon as I laid eyes and hands on it.

& of course, couldn't wait to share my awesome find with everyone! Has anyone else bought any awesome vintage fur coats lately? Please share about your thrifting experiences. It's always amazing what you can find from vintage stores these days. I find myself shying away from big shopping malls and turning to places with an abundance of vintage stores.

Also finally got a chance to wear these heels I bought a while ago from Nine West but never got around to wearing it with anything. They are quite comfortable despite falling off occasionally.

a heartbreaker right from the start..

Sorry for the lack of posts since my birthday! All I've been doing is partying since then and have not had enough energy to take any photos!

But alas, finally made time for a shoot with my friend Taylor who did a fantastic job! Her first time working with me and we had a blast just trying different things!

More to come from Taylor!

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL MY BELOVED READERS! =)

2010-03-25T05:25:00.000-07:00

Kookai sweater, bardot shorts, vintage boots and bag, sportsgirl hat and various jewellery, rayban wayfarers and portmans head scarf

The birthday draws closer everyday.. been running around trying to look for the right things to go with the birthday dress and has proven to be quite frustrating..

The big night is tomorrow and hopefully I wont burst out in tears at the painful reminder that I will no longer be a teenager =(

On a brighter note, my sweet friend has already fulfilled one of my birthday wishes! I have welcomed Chloe into my ever growing perfume collection! hoorah!

hope everyone is having an awesome week! xx

Happy 21st to my dear Fiona and Chai!

2010-03-21T02:11:00.000-07:00

It has been a rather hectic weekend.. in which I managed to get no productive study done! =(

But on the bright side I went to an awesome joint 21st birthday held by my dear friend Fiona and her step sister Chai! Very eventful with copious amounts of alcohol! sushi! and cupcakes! and of course.. to top it all off.. a hummer stretch limo and 2 strippers!

Posted some photos from the festivities! Enjoy your week everyone!

& again.. Happy Birthday to Fiona and Chai!

ps. doesn't everyone love my hercules photo where I chuck the birthday girl into the pool ;)

birthday plans

2010-03-09T20:31:00.000-08:00

As my birthday creeps nearer and nearer I'm starting to panic a  little.. I'm officially leaving the terrible and tumultuous teen-hood  and moving into the twenties.. I don't like the feeling of aging haha..  despite everyone's attempts to assure me that I am still a baby. 

Although I have started compiling my birthday wishlist.. It  comprises of the following:

Hope everyone is having a great week! x

and though at times the thread may break.

2010-03-04T20:49:00.000-08:00

Vintage shirt, stellino crop top, sportsgirl pants, vintage scarf, nine west sandals, and suspenders

So here are the photos as promised of my new givenchy.. which I have been hauling around with me everywhere.. including going to uni..

Been very obsessed with these pants as of late as the days have been rather gloomy and haven't been too inspired to try anything extravagant so I opted for comfort and these pants achieve exactly that.

happy mardi gras!

2010-03-02T15:34:00.000-08:00

(Miss Selfridge Dress, George Jenson necklace)

The annual Mardi Gras festival landed on saturday and it was a rather crazy weekend filled with copious amounts of alcohol, feathered scarves, lots of glowsticks and men dressed in cowboy suits.

I think I may have appeared in at least 50 different cameras. Majority of them tourists or reporters from various papers around the globe.

Here are some of the photos of our shenanigans.

we build, and then we break.

So the Chinese New Year weekend was rather eventful! and I have been spending the last few days relaxing and recovering from it.

Have been craving to get a new perfume to add to my arsenal.. can't decide between the Chloe and the new Viktor & Rolf. Any suggestions?

Also received my new givenchy in the mail and can't wait to post up photos of it next time =D keep you all posted!

Happy Chinese New Year

2010-02-12T13:03:00.000-08:00

Some random bits and pieces from here and there. These were taken on my recent holiday with my family.

photos 1-3 : were taken at some random national park my dad wanted to visit

photo 4 : was taken by my grandma whilst I was waiting to sky dive

photo 5 : was a novelty photo taken at dreamworld. I would like to introduce to my lovely readers my little brother who has just started the tumultuous journey of high school life. I cannot wait until he hits puberty haha

photo 6 : waiting for waterworld to open

photo 7-8 : in our apartment

Its Valentines Day + Chinese New Year tomorrow and I can't wait to begin celebrating. Beginning with the huge dinner tonight; gorging on crabs and lobsters =)

RIP Alexander McQueen.

You will be missed!

we're gonna fly to the end of the sky..

vintage boots, Diesel dress, Kookai slip dress, bardot scarf, events belt

Some random photos taken whilst on a trip to the Northern Beaches on a rather windy and gloomy day.. it probably wasn't the best idea to wear boots and I really wasnt dressed to go to the beach but what the hell.

knitted Alexander Wang inspired sweater, givenchy bag, Nu+Nan heels

This is something that my grandmother and I have been working on for a while.. well.. she's been working on for me.. I'm so in love with what she's done. We decided to do the sweater in white because we couldn't find the right grey wool and thought that white would look just as good and would separate it from the original.

We also decided to put two different colours in the pattern; a black and a gun metal to make it look interesting. It fits like a charm and I just adore it. Twisted my friends arm into helping me take some photos of it to share with everyone.

Let me know what you all think about it!

Ladakh dress, kookai scarf, kookai jacket

When I first saw this dress I thought it would look totally ridiculous on me but my bestie forced me to try it on as it was the last one in the store and it just happened to be my size. After I tried it on.. I totally fell in love with it.
These were taken at Pyrmont near the apartments my uncle use to rent. The weather wasn't really on our side so every so often we'd have to scuttle back to the car when it started drizzling..

one day... we're gonna get so high...

Kookai dress + slip + scarf, sportsgirl scarf used as belt, Tony bianco boots,rayban aviators, givenchy bag

Added these new babies to my ever-growing shoe collection recently.. and couldn't help but take them for a test run.. I have to admit, wearing those heels on rocky terrain wasn't such a smart plan and required me to walk around as though I was treading on egg shells.

I have been getting comments about the copious amounts of sunlight we have here in Australia and I have to say.. I'm living in a great country.. great weather, great landscapes and great people. This location (North Heads) is by far one of my very favourite places in Sydney.

The last few photos required me to abandon the boots as it got a bit too dangerous for me to wear heels on the edge of a cliff! I dont think I've said this yet in 2010 but thank you to all my loyal readers and followers! It's your comments that inspires me to continue.

hold on, & don't shed a tear.

Been fairly busy lately and haven't had much time to myself but managed to get in photoshoots with my friend and I have to say.. very impressed with his photos and I hope everyone else enjoys his work too! & fingers crossed that there will be more to come! So this lace leotard has been sneaking its way into my daily routine for summer outfits.. It breathes and makes it a fun piece on 30 degree days to work with. The scarf was probably not essential but I felt rather bare without it so I decided to throw it in. One of my favourites from Kookai.. love it so much I have a light blue version too!

Also did a night photoshoot but I'll save those photos for later!

P.S. there will be another giveaway soon to come. will keep everyone posted!

and the birdie got away..

Bought this awesome vintage bird cage from newtown to hang in my room to display my jewellery. The skull necklace is a new addition to my ever growing collection.

The dork glasses are also a new accessory I've grown quite fond of.
