before the game.

Spent this beautiful day at the library.. i wasn't very productive as i was so stressed on what to study as i have 4 exams next week. wish me luck.

tonight i had organised tickets for the boy and i as a double date with my friends kath and missen to 'Before the Game' (as my beautiful friend tash works on the show). we had the best seats in the house. reason to go was because both the boys go for carlton and chris judd was on the show. it was so much fun. thanks tash xx

then a quick dinner on chapel st and now i'm home to watch the football - south korea vs greece... GO SOUTH KOREA.

p.s trying to follow the world cup - i will tragically after my exams (18th)

GO SPAIN > GO SPAIN > GO SPAIN!

music on this page

MUSIC
after looking a few blogs i looked at one where it had some funky music, and it really brightened her blog.

i've tried countless times to find a gadget of somesort to put a music player on my blog page. i tried playlist.com but i'm not in the United States, so something that works within australia would be good.

MACAROONS
has anyone tried the laurent macaroons???? the ones with the cream in the middle? they are DIVINE! i scoffed 4 down last night after working at the library (for hours on end it seems like).


had coffee, strawberry, lemon and passion fruit - YUM. coffee is my favourite so far.

xxxx

p.s studying for 4 exams next week.. been up since 7am and i have work soon from 2 till 9pm. kills me.
p.s.s. i've watched the whole season of MODERN FAMILY.... twice and i love it.

fun leggings

new love - the cape coat by Karen Millen

hello this is me in minimal makeup, but wearing my fav. coat for this winter. dad dragged to the ugg boot store to buy ugg boots as mine have literally fallen apart. 

its by karen millen and i absolutely adore it and its actually quite warm considering it has cape sleeves! its very cosy and i love how structured it is.

winter colour!

 

ive been sticking to a lot of blacks the last few weeks, i mean everything is black and a lot of people have been commenting on my look - my response is that i'm mourning that i've put on the winter weight - thanks to you chocolate.. and cakes. but i find its quite hard finding my clothes in my room as everything is black. 

black is the easiest of colours to wear and buy, black on black, unless its textured. like my black l/s tops, skivvys, black leggings, sheer tights, opaques, blouses, jackets and lets not forgetting my accessories. black boots, black shoes, black leather bags, black beanies...

my point is,.. i think i'm getting lost in a sea of black.. and shines of colour is always a new breath of fresh air! 

the purple/fuschia (spl) is from a really cool thrift store (with 12 stalls) in melbourne called carlisle st bazaar, its a pretty laid back store with a lot of different types of stock, from re worked vintage, to vintage, to second clothing and sometimes up and coming designers. pretty exciting xx

on the streets of southern china.

so i've finally found a bit of time to update my blog - i think my last post was nearly 2 months ago and few changes have happened. so in end of april, early may i went overseas for nearly two weeks (re. photos from the last 2 posts) it was really a beautiful trip and all i did with my father was walk and eat and shopp!!!!

sometimes you really have to look back at a moment to really appreciate it.. at the time i loved being there, and looking back i miss it even more. the food, the exchange rate and how much easier it is to get around over there. although i love melbourne, its just so damn cold atm - it really is. 

so i hope you enjoy a few of my snaps. there were more.. but they were just of food.. hehe of course!

p.s i had a winter checklist of things to buy, and i ended up buying so many dresses and silk blouses - no shoes.. couldn't find a pair of boots in my size in hong kong - but the shopping was fabulous!

winter velvets and bloody marys!

 

its been a while since i've posted, but winter is coming and the fats are rolling in i tell you what. i haven' t been up to much, just a lot of assignments and assessments with my course, and starting to apply for grad positions for next year.. wish me luck!!

melbourne had a beautiful weathered weekend... sunny days and warm nights. 

had a lovely dinner party with my girls then off to chapel st...

furrrrrrrrrr..fur

anyone else going to be a massive fan of fur this winter? faux fur of course! i picked up this gorgeous coat from carlise st bazzaar... the lady who owned this stall (rachael) owns shappere. i was apparently too slow to pick up this coat in grey, but the tan will do for now. its so warm and fits so nicely.. i can see this with jeans and dresses... keep an eye out for a hooded fur coat.. yum

phllip island.. victoria with my girlfriends

 

we were so lucky with the weather last weekend (compared to last weekend), michy one of my lovely friends has a house in cowes - phillip island and we all found the time to come down and enjoy each others company. its really hard as some of us are working full time or others are studying or travelling. it was such a lovely and messy weekend and would love to do it again!

maitreya.. mud mud mud

 

so we drove nearly 4 hours out into the bush for maitreya... the last outdoor lifestyle festival for the summer. quite a few of my favourtie dj's were playing and nearly all my friends were there to party hard. the weather turned sour as storms and rains were expected. man it was tragic.. mud everywhere, with hay and straw and a pool of water to walk through before you get onto the dance floor. we were literally dancing in the mud!! best festival ever in terms of music, but weather wise it wasn't so great, but still enjoyed the weekend. a lot of people had trouble getting out and cars were getting bogged. 

black is back

 

i'e been pretty slack with my posts and photo taking recently as i've been away and started uni again and... i have a new boy. but im sick now, so all this time in the world!!! i tend to wear heaps of black in winter - and its been a few nights cold in melbourne the last few weeks (expect for the last few days), the photos don't show.. but i wore high waisted black levis with a cropped floral singlet.. 

p.s i hate the dentist and i hate the fees involved for taking out wisdom teeth.. i want to cry

new shoesis -

 

i'm thinking layered with socks would be hot - can't wait to get these.. they remind me of the D&G suede wedges - which Jeffrey Campbell just did a copy off..
