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!

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.

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!

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.

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 ?

It's time to be a big girl now.

A whole day of window shopping with E today, took lot's of photos - makes me want a DSLR now! The picture quality is just, so much clearer, sharper... and better in general.

I think I'm beginning to have an obsession with over-the-knee boots, I've already acquired 2 pairs and looking for a third. I'll probably decide between this pair of Tony Biancos or the Britany from Topshop.

Apologies for the weird pose but the dress covered the top of the boots. I think they elongate my legs but E thinks it's all in my head=(

We tried on this gorgeous White Suede tuxedo blazer. However since I've just purchased one from Cue recently, I'm going to exercise great *cough* self-control and hold out for a while!

Although I think E looked a lot "cooler" in it than I did!


I really like the design on the heel/platform of these Miu Miu heels.


And some snaps,

Shy Shy pink quilted bag
Black leather flats

I just realised how pink I looked today! The dress and bag was part of a massive order I did from yesstyle.com. The pink bag is cute, but it is too similar to Chanel 2.55 reissue for my liking.


Zac Posen is doing a collaboration is Target US, and to be honest I like it a lot better than the Australian one. The lookbook is here. This dress is probably my favourite from the collection, but I have no idea where I'll wear it to!

Getting my head around all this...

I met up with L yesterday - poor girl had a minor surgery and couldn't leave the house for a month or so - as well as E, J, etc! It was so lovely to catch up and I can't wait till she's well enough to get back into basketball with us again.

Do I hear something? Excuse the pose!

I found this blouse at the Incu sale last year and fell in love with the little quirks that set it apart from other blouses I own - little frills that puff up the sleeves and the fabric is embroidered with little flower embroideries. So imagine how upset I was when I found it was put in the wash with a black dress and there were patches of black stain all over it! I had to rewash it about 5 times to get the dye out!

Hoping everyone's having a great weekend!

I'm not moving.

Happy Australia Day!

I decided to brave the heat today and accompany my parents to the city to have a quick peek at what was happening at Darling Harbour. The good thing? I got to drive! First time driving to a city, a little intimidating, but pretty satisfying nevertheless!

The heat was overbearing so we had some iced chocolate and delices at Lindt cafe, yum!

Lots and lots of people everywhere! I saw some kids with a little plastic gun that shoots out a bunch of soap bubbles - and I really really wanted one!
