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'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.

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?

Hi All, it's been a while! I know I keep saying that... sorry...but seriously, some exciting news to share. I've finally locked in a date and will be back home next week woot! Oh Melbourne, how I've missed you. Can't wait to tuck into the food, wine, shopping and, of course, catching up with my loves..ahhhh be still my beating heart, my mouth is watering as I type this!

Before I get too lost in my Melbourne dream, I thought I'd post these picts. I've taken these about a month ago, and totally forgotten about them. I'm in love with this Josh Goot skirt, it's got a great cut and structure and oh I love the colours and marble effect - it's so pretty (and for those of you who know me know I don't usually do pretty) it reminds of Versailles and the colors of Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette.

I also wanted to show off my graffiti Louboutin's which was the best ever Valentine's day present, gifted while we were in the city of love herself (actually, come to think of it, I think this outfit post is to show off all the individual pieces).

This 3.1 Phillip Lim top has been quite popular in the blogosphere - but I thought it was also the ideal piece to highlight the lace details of this Nanette Lepore summer bomber (I'm so obsessed with bombers at the moment, but I'll save that for another post).

Ok, aiming for another post before I jet off... warning: You may be bombarded by me in the next two weeks with everything Melbourne! Or it could go the complete other way with me living it up, you may not hear from me haha. Either way, remember to follow me on instagram to share my little moments!
