My new friend
My first pair of Oroton sunnies! I have contemplated spending my savings on a pair of quality sunnies for aaaaages, but just never seemed to find one that would suit my face (awkward face shape). So, yay to Oroton for my new found staple. It was the perfect fit! Goodbye $10 UO sunnies, you have been great.

Spent an amazing first week of 2012 relaxing at a resort on the outskirts of Taipei. After a month in Hong Kong, it was definitely refreshing to see trees instead of buildings as I wake up. Oh, and I won a TV in some lucky draw, just as I was telling my whole family that I would never ever win anything .. and even if I did I would not be there to pick the prize up. 2012 has been...

MILANO
Hands down, Milan has the most well dressed ‘seniors’ I have seen. Think fur coats, perfectly groomed hair with a well dressed male companion. While one can hate thinking of becoming older, I just hope that I will look equally glamorous at 70.

Been on heaps of trips around Thailand, both for work and leisure. And next to me is my homegurl Yoshita keeping me happpppppy! (and she does my eyebrows,...

Long Nights
Sleepless nights, walks along the river, and James Vincent Mcmorrow. Reflections on this ending year, and anticipations for the arriving one. Blessed for the people I have in my life, and guilty for the love I receive. Too many thoughts, I need coffee.
Dear Hong Kong, why can’t I find a decent coffee shop anywhere? #imissmelbournecoffee

VERSACE FOR H&M
Did any of our readers pick up any Versace goods from H&M today? Quick blog to say, yeah I did! Now gotta go to class, feeling guilty. Not. Met a guy who skipped teaching to be there. How much do you appreciate that!

London is getting so cold now. A frosty breeze and shorter days, results in a whole weekend of laziness and bed. Looking back at these photos from the summer makes me really excited to be back in Asia in January. Any tips on how to keep warm? I’ve never even experienced a proper winter and i’m complaining now (it’s just autumn!)

Travel diaries: København, Denmark
This is just a miniscule photo diary of my time in Copenhagen. It is such a beautiful city! The Dannish, are the most friendliest people ever and don’t even start with the shopping. I went there knowing this, so I bought 1 outfit and 1 including the clothes I wore when I arrived. Scandinavia never disappoints! Such a shame that it was so foggy during my time there, nevertheless it made it...

DAILY BEAUTY TIP
When doing a home mask, never apply the product directly under the eyes. You should stop right under the eye sockets. This is due to the thin, thin layer of skin there.

Chloè giftings
A gift from the mother last week.
This perfume necklace smells amazing! I’ve never owned a chloe scent before, but I’m loving it at the moment. The necklace itself is very simple, and you open this pendant to find the solid perfume balm which you can re-apply throughout the day. Double thumbs up to smelling amazing all through the day. This would make a great gift for the...

What's in my make up bag?
Being a girl, of course, I have a thing for cosmetics. I have been semi-obsessed (especially) with Japanese cosmetics ever since I was in high school.
Now, being permanently back in Thailand, the cosmetic section in Watsons is probably one of my favourite places to browse through. They carry several Japanese cosmetic brands such as Kate, Canmake and Majolica Majorca. Anywho, since I’ve...
Colour Blocking Thursday
Vintage Cacharel shirt, Zara pants
Just got back from a work trip. Feels good to be back in Bangkok once again even with the floods going on. My heart goes out to those who are effected. For those who had seen the news, you might already know that this is the worst flood Thailand had seen in decades. For anyone who is interested in donating, please click on THIS LINK for information about where...

Zombie Shuffle
With Bel
Happy Halloween Everyone! Yes I know, it’s one day late but anyway. Halloween has never been that big in Melbourne and neither has it been a day I die to celebrate. However, one thing I do love when Halloween comes along, is the chance to go see the zombie shuffle. Amazing costumes, make-up and acting everywhere! For anyone heading down to Melbourne during Halloween next year, be...

Black and Navy
Been wearing too much black for my liking. I guess that’s my unconscious way of saying ‘I’m a little homesick’ aka missing Melbourne in the most miniscule way. But fancy this, got up late this day, got ready in 10 mins and was approached by a lovely photographer from Elle Netherlands. Ego boosting and #mademyday how much?

HAIR CURLING CHALLENGE: LONG HAIR
To start off this post, I would like to tell you a little about my cut. Not too long ago, I decided to chop off all my split ends, ending up with a blunt cut. Therefore I pretty much have no layers in my hair, which really isn’t ideal for hair curling (but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done). For those with proper layers through their hair, there would absolutely be no problem...

High tea at The Georgian
With Yen Hoang
Been in London for 3 months, I have had a fair share of high teas. It’s just the English way you know? Something a little fancy spancy here and there. The Georgian at Harrods (mind you, is so incredible) offers a cheaper afternoon tea menu at 26 quid (pounds), and was very satisfying indeed. Who can ever reject a good food coma?

HAIR CURLING CHALLENGE: MEDIUM LENGTH/LOB
With Yen Hoang
Short hair is so awesome, what’s not is having this awkward-length-lob-business going on. To distract myself from the waiting game, I went straight to the hairdressers and asked them to chop me up some long layers. The result is being able to alternate between straight hair and wavy hair. Curly hair on a blunt cut does not work. For me anyways.
Weapons to achieve: a...
