When people run in circles

Sometimes, you just have to stop for a moment and appreciate the little things in life. These videos brought tears to my eyes.

Enjoy.

A secret for so long it hurts

Hi all!

Wow, it's almost been 3 months since my last post! I've been so consumed by uni work and felt like I've lost the blogging mojo, but here I am, back again.


Now, am I the only one who isn't caught in the wave of Inception-is-the-best-movie-ever virus that's plagued 99.9% of my friends? Sure the concept is interesting and the plot kept me tensed for the majority of the movie, but I do not understand why many make it out to be a complete mindf*ck? Don't get me wrong, it's a good movie, just not one of the best, in my opinion at least. Perhaps my expectations were too high after hearing so many raves about it. Toy Story 3 on the other hand... ♥


Spring, Spring oh wherefore art thou? I'm so sick of looking like balloon with 10 layers of clothing. The weather's finally warming up, please let it stay that way! I received this dress the other day, I really like it - it reminds me of the Lover Disciple Dress which I regret not getting when it was still in stores, and so when I saw this dress (and its price) I knew I had to have it!

Forever 21 sequin bow cardigan
ASOS heart seam stockings


Oh oh, I will be getting my paws on a DSLR soon so here's hoping that the picture quality will improve!:)

I sleep, I wake, I try hard not to break,

It's a Saturday night and here I am catching up on readings and assignments whilst my neighbours are belting out tunes next door. Uni life sucks.


These picture were taken with my old Nokia phone and I had only discovered them again recently.
Katharine Jett dress (favourite dress ever!)
Purple stockings
Ralph Lauren Melba flats
(which have since gone into the bin - very upset that I couldn't find a back, they were so so comfortable)


Continuing on with camera photos, I was at L's last weekend and decided to take a little break whilst preparing for our moot and naturally I took out my phone and started abusing her mirror wardrobe door haha,
How gross are my knees? I should stop being so accident prone and play less bball i think!

And featuring L's piglet pillow=)

I love the lace detail on this dress!

CRYX lace dress
Silk rose scarf as belt

How is everyone elses' weekend going?:)

Paper bags and angry voices, under a sky of dust

Even though the last few days was meant to be a "break", I got barely any, if any. It was all about catching up a few weeks worth of readings - my punishment for being lazy i guess (thought we never learn do we?), with the exception of catching up with some awesome friends!


F21 ruffle knit top
Country Road pleat hem skirt
Glitter skinny belt
Zipia bow headband

I love this skirt, but the waistband is way too big; tagged as a size 8 yet I'm definitely not a small 8 if an 8 at all. What's up with vanity sizing these days, I swear they're getting worse as the seasons go by!


People often say that one doesn't appreciate what one has got until it's long gone, but it could also be said the other way - sometimes you only realise how much what you had sucked when it's gone. So wipe away the tears, because in no time you'll understand exactly what i mean=)

But my obssession won't let me leave

Their faces remained smiling as he traced the outlines with his fingertip. The colours on the photo had long faded, turning to a light sepia.


It was wrinkled and delicate like the veins of late-autumn leaves, its edges slightly folded – it must have been nearly twenty years old. He touched his father’s right arm that rested on his five year old shoulder.


In that photo his father looks away but the boy stares at him; stares, remotely.


Even in his memories and reveries he was aware of a most strange curiosity – that he could never find or meet the gaze of his father.

Just digging through some of my old writing!

All your love is revenge

So, I'm still alive, just very very busy and with my head in lala land most of the time.

A quick late happy birthday shout out to Lisa and Alin!

Just back from law camp a few days ago and it was pretty damn fun!
with L♥

My cabin - Saturday night was meant to be dress up with a theme of "Superheros VS Villains".

With the gorgeous Sailor Moon!

The black Sretsis dress I'm wearing is one of my favourite - super flattering! Worn with,
F21 bow headband
F21 clutch (I'm seeing a pattern here!)
Wittner studded flats


Worst wardrobe malfunction of my life last night - went to BSOC cruise, and being the impatient me, stepped over a bench and split my dress down the back. Some how I dealt with it by tying a cardigan around my waist for the night. How embarassing.

With J before the said accident

And shortly after with some of the girls

Shipley & Halmos dress
Witchery chain cardigan

Black humour

Oh wow, it's been almost a month since my last post!

I've been so busy now that I've transferred to a certain combined degree and hence feeling very drained!

With the weather cooling down, I've been stocking up on some winter gears, but I'm still on the outlook for thick stockings with cute patterms - any suggestions?

I can finally pull out all my new cardigans now thanks to the windy days!


I haven't stopped wearing this scarf since I received it, rose print + silk = love! Excuse the lousy knot - I don't have superior scarf tying skills like MaiTai, although I got to say, if I have all her gorgeous Hermes scarves, I'd spend the rest of my life perfecting "scarf tying".

A close up of pearl stitchings on the cardigan, so cute!

This entire outfit is from a Korean wholesale website called Zipia. The prices are very reasonable and they have some nice pieces, although the setbacks are that you have to order $300 worth per order and the clothe sizes are tiny! I'm an AUS8-10 and according to the measurements only about 20-30% of them would fit me! Boo hiss.

p.s. does anyone know how to change the date/time of the post so that it displays when the post is actually posted ?
