I spent a super fun evening raving the Treasurette store. It's one of my favourite stop for accessories: Givenchy, Rick Owens, Maison Martin Margiela, Jason Wu, Repetto, Stella McCartney, Dominic Jones, Aperlai, Pedro Garcia, Vassilisa, to name a few. Now, this is my ultimate wo'man' cave.

RAIN, HAIL OR SHINE

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?

Hope y'all doin' well. I've been battling Internet connection issue and thus struggling to post.

I almost forgot about the iconic graffiti laneways scattered around the city. This one was actually freshly painted - the artist was wrapping up just as we took these shots. Part of the fun is actually finding little hidden messages within. Sadly, I only have a few days remaining, but I will endeavour to hunt down a few more graffiti laneways and collage it out for all to see.

These shots were taken on Friday, I just love dressing down sequins for day time and with my new Marant’s – it wasn’t too much of a challenge.  I can foresee that this skirt and sneakers  are ‘’till death do us part’ items.  Anyways, signing off. ..post soon.

I’ve been having so much fun just chillin’ with my friends… one in particular, Alice. She is co-owner of a funky store Treasurette (my next post) and we’ve been playing dress-ups and taking happy snaps.  This was during our coffee breaks…the sun came out and so we quickly took the camera with us to seize the opportunity.  It was still icy but I’m loving the cold…I miss it so much, just the variety of four seasons and being able to break out the outer wear and layering. By the way, my new Isabel Marant kicks are serving me well – I’m walking for hours in them and they make my outfits so effortlessly cool – don’t you think?

HOME SWEET HOME

Greetings from Melbourne! As I've said in my last post, I'm home for a couple of weeks (feels too short), and I'm thoroughly enjoying it...losing myself in the city and with my loved ones. It's funny how much I miss this place. I'm breathing in the fresh crisp air (beautiful change from the heat and humidity), enjoying the quality food and coffee and oh, the shopping...

This is, again, a quick hello, thought I'd also make you envious by posting some random pictures. But I will be writing more (I really really promise) in the next post and do full reviews and a city guide. I'm amazed at all my rediscoveries and new found appreciations of old favourites since blogging.

For now, and as usual, please follow my instagram to share my instamelbmomemts...
