Aren't these just some of the most beautiful things you have ever seen?! Oh gosh. Now if they only weren't nearly AUD 1500......oh shoe lust. The horrible things you do to me!

Feeling girly - bit of Karen Miller

So I popped into the Karen Miller store today in Paragon mall, while in Singapore and this dress caught my eye in the window.



Silly me got the wrong size to try on, but the dress is still so gorgeous, it's girly yet proper and I adore the colours!

I loved a lot of other stuff they had in the store at the moment too, it's all very romantic and girly, as much as I want to like flower prints I sometimes find it hard to, but I was absolutely falling in love with everything in the store today...







That dress is so much cuter in person, it's got a fair bit of lining underneath the skirt, so it gives it a bit off 'poof'.



Hmmm...might go wait half a year for it to all hopefully go on sale in Melbourne...

Impulse Buying

I had been eyeing it in the Melbourne store for a little while and was sold when the assistant came over to talk about the bag with me and how perfect it was and how well it did everything. Except for the price which left me humming and aahing. Since as I stated before, I wasn't keen to spend more than $150 or so on a new bag.

Buuuut after expressing my sentiments online to my friends, I was convinced that if I saw it at the Mimco store in the airport, I would buy it.

And so I did.



And I looooove it.





I decided to break it in a bit during my one night stay in Singapore, it came out shopping with me. I'm so excited to use this back in Melbourne, I see it just matching like, everything!

I've wanted to had more time to shop in Singapore, but the way things have worked out I didn't get too much time today, although I did manage to grab this great ring for $9 from Forever 21



Hopefully I'll have a bit more time tomorrow...although my baggage space is kind of limited. ;s

Vietnam - Melbourne - USA

Hey guys! Just letting you know I'm jetting off to Saigon tonight, or technically tomorrow since my flight is at 00:05!

I'll be there for a week for business and some pleasure too of course! I am totally excited to be feasting on rice paper rolls and mustard leaf rolls....mmmm!

Unfortunately though, sometimes the Vietnam networks do block blogger/blogspot, so I may not be able to retell my adventures until I get back to Melbourne on the 14th.

Now after the 14th, I'm back in Melbourne for a while then on the 23rd I jet off to the US for 5 weeks!

Yes I am super super excited! Popping into New York, LA and Hawaii...mmmm 5th Avenue...Tiffany is calling....

But I will remind you guys closer to the date, wouldn't like to just disappear on you all for 5 weeks with no notice!

So just a quick recap!

7th - 13th - Vietnam - Limited posting

14th - 23rd - Melbourne - Lots of posting!

24th June - 27th July - USA! - Sporadic postings!

Looking for labels, looking for love...











Dress - Zimmerman, Shoes - Tony Bianco, Belt - MNG, Sunglasses - Burberry, Scarf - Alexander McQueen

Mum had picked out this dress at a Zimmerman sale sometime ago, $50? No complaints there! I pretty much stole it from her wardrobe, left it in Philippines for a while then got dad to bring it back to me.

Went to see Sex and the City 2 last night. Ah, gloriously terrible film from a movie and plot line perspective. But, SAMANTHA IS FABULOUS. What more needs to be said?

Summer in Winter









Dress - Forever 21, Top - BCBG Girls, Cardigan - (thrifted) Banana Republic, Boots - Tony Bianco, Necklace - Topshop, Scarf - From Tokyo

Ah, it's nice to be able to wear your summer dresses in the cooler months isn't it? I discovered this boob tube dress at the back of my closet and thought the patterns would be really cute to wear in winter.

And I'm learning to thrift! I re-visited the wonderful op shop I mentioned a few weeks ago and the men's Banana Republic cardigan I had my eye on was still there! I've been wearing it everyday almost now, it's made of 100% merino wool and is soo incredibly warm. For $20? Not a bad steal I reckon.
