It was once beautiful...

Do you know the moment of epiphany where you suddenly realise in the past two days you've somehow spent your week's paycheck? And then you say, oh but there's this pair of heels that I really want that's going to be on sale for one day only tomorrow... *slowly whips out credit card* I'm sure you've all been there and done that;) One thing I love about January is the further xx% sales (so so much better than Boxing Day), and the thing I don't is coming home with an empty wallet.

My favourite purchase would have to be this Ruffle Sleeve dress from Country Road, for, 50 dollars! I went back today to purchase the black version and another for mum, but they were all gone from the rack:(


Speaking of Country Road, I really really want these babies from their Jan 2010 collection. I think they'll be perfect for both uni (thanks to the flat sole) and going out. *Drools*

It's so disgustingly hot even at 7pm. Beach, here I come!

Told you from the start...

Sorry for the lack of posts recently! I think my computer's video card is fried and I haven't had to fix it so I can't access any of my pictures!:(

I've been decluttering and have sorted out some clothes that I either don't fit in or just no longer where. I've listed them here on another blog, so please take a look! Alannah Hill, Therese Rawthorne, Sass & Bide, Lover, etc starting from $5!!

These cute Sass & Bide shorts are only $10!


I've recently bought none-slip soles and stuck them onto the bottom of all shoes that are remotely slippery. Although they aren't too expensive at about $10 a pop, when you do about 10 pairs they start to add up! Why did I bother? Well, walking out of a lecture hall last semester down a set of stone stairs and wearing a pair of Robert Robert boots which I adore (apart from this incident), I turned around to speak to a friend only to slip down a step and fly towards the ground in front of a crowd waiting to go into the next lecture. Luckily I managed to reach out and grab a nearby railing before smashing into it full force with my knees - at least it saved me from a face plant in the concrete! It was so horrifyingly painful not to mention embarrassing. The thumb-sized scar on my left knee is therefore constantly reminding me to buy more of those soles and to resole any old, worn-out shoes! So learn from my mistake and go do the same to your shoes! Although I got to say, when they charge $400RRP for a pair of boots, you'd expect them to use leather or rubber soles...

Roses come with thorns

Happy New Year everyone!

I spent NYE at E's house with a few other awesome friends eating, drinking and playing games. It was a relatively quite night (compared to other years) but I thoroughly enjoyed it!

S turned 19 a few days ago and we went rock climbing at St Leonards to celebrate!

Yup, this is yours sincerely sticking her massive backside at you!

Some of the boys in the backseat!

It was a humid day so we headed off to Chatswood for lunch, and ended up playing Hide and Seek in Myer! It felt good to act like kids again!

I've only made 2 new years resolution because I know I most likely won't keep them!

Merry (late) Christmas everyone! ♥

Christmas Eve I had a lovely dinner with J at Kobe Jones.

A little bit of Christmas spirit with some subtle red and green eyeshadow!

The food was very delicious! Descriptions from Kobe Jones' menu.

Lollypop sushi - tuna, kingfish, salmon, crab salad, asparagus and smelt roe, wrapped in thinly peeled cucumber with soy sauce vinaigrette

Sizzled Sashimi Carpaccio - salmon sizzled with heated extra virgin olive oil, and drizzled with wasabi pepper sauce

Mushroom Medley Tobanyaki - oven baked assortment of exotic mushrooms in our special cream sauce

For Christmas, I decided to spoil myself, and bought an iphone (yes I conformed *hangs head in shame), a pair of heavily reduced heels from Sportsgirl, NARS Rated R Duo and YSL lip palette!

Get me out of here

Last night was the first time in more than ten years where I fell asleep hugging a soft toy. It was a rather ugly pink teddy with the softest fur. I could've displayed better taste and took the most adorable piggy off my dresser, but in my state of mind it didn't seem to matter. /nonesense

Had an absolute blast bar hopping with S and S Friday night.

It's time to take off your mask

Why yesterday was a horrible day:
- There was no ice cream in the fridge
- So I hopped over to woolies, and on the way, a bird decided to excrete on my leg
- Playing basketball at night, I stepped on a girl's foot and sprained me ankle. Now usually when I roll my ankle, it goes back to normal within an hour, but almost a day later, it's swollen and I'm hobbling.
FML moments.


I received a few gargeous Essie polishes as part of a KK present, and this colour, St. Lucia Lilac, was my favourite! Excuse the smudges - I should really invest in a quick dry top coat!

And with China Glaze Fairy Dust over the top

You can see my heart beating

In the past week or so I've probably physically shopped more than I've done for the past year. Apart from emptying my wallet I've been catching up with friends and basically getting back on track again!

Craving for a sugar hit, I went to Max Brenners with E and L. The more the chocolate the better right? Our bloated stomac
hs certainly disagreed even a few hours later. No sweets for me for a while I think!
