Hi guys! A warm welcome back for me haha. Sorry, I've been MIA for a while...sometimes, we all need to take a bit of time out, a bit of me time, to keep ourselves sane. That's exactly what I did the past month. These picts were taken in early September, before my time out...I've almost forgotten about them.
Anyways, enough about my 'me time'... Remember my obsession with bomber jackets? Well, that obsession was actually borne out of my love for sweat shirts. It's my fail-safe, go-to, top of choice. Think about it, it's comfortable, versatile, great for those I-don't-feel-like-I'm-looking-my-best-to-glam-up days, and when worn with the right pieces, it transitions from day to night while maintaining that air of insouciance to the outfit.
I've been lucky enough that the sweat shirt has re-surfaced as a cult piece last season and continues to be this season. This has afforded me plenty of choices. When I saw this one by Zimmermann, it was love at first site. It's made of organza silk, giving the sloppy joe subtle structure (allowing it to show off the beautiful 'honour' crest design - central to Zimmermann's Spring / Summer 2013 collection - 'Class of 2013').
Oh, this was date night by the way. We decided to try Ding Dong, a newish project (at the time) of our favourite chef Ryan Clift. The concept is fusion South East Asian, and the result is a fabulous bright mix of texture and flavours; twists to classic South East Asian street food favourites with some of the dishes being a pure experimental delight. Choose from their a la carte menu or for newbies, I highly recommend the 'degustation menu' - compilation of their best sellers.
I must also mention, their cocktails are a must try - modern fusion twists to classics: Mojitos using palm sugar, sake mixed with yoghurt and espresso martinis using Vietnamese style coffee drips(pictured). All this talk (typing) is strongly eliciting my urge to re-visit this place.
By the way, I still have heaps of pictures from my last trip back home. I know it feels so long ago now and almost irrelevant, but it took me a while to sort them all out and it would be such a waste if I don't publish them. So I hope you won't mind too much if I put up the picts in my next few posts.
'Till then,

I went on a girl date with my girlfriends today at Gardens by the Bay in Singapore. It was my first time (at the garden, that is) and boy, was I impressed!!!
The garden is built wholly on reclaimed land and the conservatories (Cloud Forest: photos 2 - 12, the waterfall, and the Flower Dome: photos 13 - 21) are not only energy efficient, it is a column-less glasshouse - one of the largest in the world.
I won't bore you too much with the details, the pictures speak for themselves, but it's definitely a must do when you're next in Singapore.
Tip: do bring a light cardi, like every indoor part of the island, temperatures hover around the 16 - 19 degree Celsius (60 - 66 degree Fahrenheit) mark.

I've mentioned before and will mention again...I love bombers! Since it's come back (thanks Isabel!), I just can't get enough of it's varsity coolness! I found this one from one of my all time favs, Scanlan and Theordore. I love the colour combo and as it's constructed from a beautiful scuba fabric...score! I'll have to style this with more outfits soon...
OOOh, Treasurette had an awesome delivery of new Rick Owens, we got super excited and went goofing around taking these pictures featuring my trusty Rick Owens boots.

A true testament to Melbourne's moodiness...these photos were taken within the hour. Love it or hate it, Melbourne's "four seasons in a day" is always a great talking point amongst locals and forever the first thing we warn outta-towners. Personally, I say bring it on! It is what makes this city unique and beautiful, after-all where else in the world can you carry on small talk about the weather?
By the way, you will come to realised that during the cold, my wardrobe is in various shades of black (grey, navy, charcoal). My friends always tease me about my monotone... I reassure them that my wardrobe is not just in various shades of black, but does include white and a splash of leopard print haha. Not to worry, I have been experimenting with colours more (especially since black is so hard to photograph), and rest assure, where I do put a dark outfit together, I always mix textures - leather, lace, silk, cashmere, hide - this keeps the look interesting as it adds dimension (these jeans are a perfect example of amp-up, it features a subtle python print that looks '3-D' as the print is in a different texture). Do you have a particular colour that you can always count on?
