This might probably sound shallow to some but I absolutely adore all the movies and drama series that revolves around styles. It's how they show an individual's characteristic through the means of clothing and exaggerates it, and I really like that. Consequently, it got me thinking that, why shouldn't we make a statement and express ourselves that way by going all out, just because. And that's exactly what I did on the fifth day of our Melboure Trip where we've planned on heading to the parks and doing a whole bunch of sight seeings. I don't think it's weird or ever wrong if you just want to go to the park in a dress that makes you feel like a ball of fluff! It's funny because when we started our morning by meeting Valerie, the only thing that came of her first mouth before ev[...]

Well, all I can say is, you know that tiny obssesion that Belle from Beauty and the Beast has with books and libraries, the majestic architecture and the whiff of smell you get from the old pages? We had that exact same feeling on the forth day of our trip when we stepped into Melbourne's National Library. It was a day of getting to know Melbourne city itself a little more by visiting most of the famous spots that we heard of greatly. Not forgetting, it was also a day to shop. We headed to the State Library the very first thing in the morning, to avoid the 'crowd' because we thought that it might be a litte too loud with our cameras' shutter noises. It was a tad bit daunting when we have to pass by some security personnel before getting into the main hall, because as muc[...]

There is a saying that goes by 'everything changes when the night falls'. I can say that Melbourne city is living up to that phrase without a doubt in mind. I didn't know how many times have I repeated this to both Joanne and Boon Hee, but oh yes, they have to bear with my constant squirms of how I feel so alive whenever I walk the streets of Melbourne. Isn't the view behind just breathtaking? It's been a long time since I've surrounded myself with skyscrapers and I truly missed being the city girl at heart. We both got a change of outfits after Mount Dandenong to get all sparkly for a night of fun and adventure! Prior to that, we had dinner at Madang that was tucked hidden at a corner, and knowing that Joanne was with us, Korean food was definitely inevitable. :razz: [...]

You would think that we will be spending our entire time in the city when we're in Melbourne. But when the third day of our trip came, we've conquered the marvellous picturesque city, had our fair share of the breezy ocean and breathed the crisp luscious air of Melbourne's hillside. While we were on our way back to Melbourne from the Great Ocean Drive the day before, Boon Hee (our nicest host in Melbourne) rang Joanne and asked if we would love to join his family for a day at Mount Dandenong! Without a doubt, we didn't give it a pass and went for it although we didn't know exactly where that's supposed to be but OKAY, LET'S GOO!!!! The only description that we have of this place was that everybody comes here for scones and jam at Miss Marples' Tea House! An hour drive out fro[...]

After spending all day in the city a day before, we thought that it will be the next best thing to travel further down to the Great Ocean Drive just to surround ourselves with the amazing beauty of mother Earth. Long before the trip, this was one of top of our 'Must-Visit' places in Melbourne and I'm really glad that Valerie agreed on taking us on this road trip! I told her that she had just signed up for a big deal of fun with me around when it comes to a road trip! :twisted: A great big thank you to you, valerie! :mrgreen: It couldn't just get any better when Valerie took us for some breakfast at a small cosy cafe called Hardware Societe which was located nearby our apartment before adjourning on the few hours of long drive. She reckoned that this was a good place for b[...]

A day that we've been waiting for all year round, to be honest, I hardly shop whenever I'm in Australia, and that is definitely not an understatement that's coming from me. Reason being that I believe everything is overpriced here for some reasons. But then again, I expected myself to go crazy beforehand considering that boxing day sales has to be the craziest all year round, and with stories from everyone on how there is a queue starting from early wee hours of the morning, it would be sensible to think that there has to be a lot of great bargains isn't it? Thankfully we're staying right smack in the middle of the city so it would only take a few minutes of walk to the city centre! Ahhh, the perks of staying in the city. It wasn't long till we wal[...]

Melbourne. Well known for its concentrated art culture, a mix between Perth and yet, not losing the buzz city lifestyle filled with life. I have been anticipating to go to Melbourne for the last few years, and thankfully my girlfriend and I decided to make it happen a few months back and that's when we bought our tickets and there isn't any way back! ;-) Two students whom met all the way back in uni whilst studying accounting, both of us having a burning passion for photography and fashion styling respectively. We figured that we could make this trip our first collaboration together, considering that she's moved to Sydney and I'm still here in Perth! Therefore, this mini reunion could be our first step to a bigger path down our dreams. Took the earliest flight to Melbo[...]

Just last two mondays, it was the long awaited Labour Day and it happens to be my very first public holiday ever since I start working so can you imagine how excited I was?! I didn't used to have the privilege of having public holidays during my days in university because it simply does not exist within the university's context booooo! :roll: Had a really good breakfast of Eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon at a nearby cafe which is sinfully delicious but it really isn't a good idea if you're heading to the beach in a bikini! :shock: The temperature climbed up to 36degrees on that day so it was pretty good for a tan but got more than I asked for in the end! Skin got burnt and I looked like I've paint part of my body with brown paint. :evil: Coincidentally there was an art exhi[...]

If you take a look around, you'll notice that in the shopping malls, most of the retail stores are filled with prints in any sorts of colour you can ever imagine. Even most of the designers' collections were print frenzy for the Spring/Summer 2011 season and still going on strong for now if I dare say. When I was working in Zara a few months back, it was an endless torture every week as the latest pieces are coming in twice a week and we are forced to remember every single piece of them! Being voted as one of the person with the weakest resistance e.v.e.r, it's just a matter of time or an intense mental battle before i get my hands on this Navojo printed pants back home as I've been lusting over it ever since!! I guess luck was on my side as it was put onto the sale racks after[...]
