The old fashion adage "Blue & green can never be seen"? I say nonsense, blue & green are great friends... Cue shirt, Forever New jeans, Colette chain, Sportsgirl boots & sunnies. I just realised my collar is flipped up in every one of these photos...fail. Haha. These green pants are a personal fave of mine because they are such a dark shade that actually suits my skintone unlike any other green! The Cue shirt was an investment into a timeless piece & I think it's time the fashion rules were broken anyway. I'm so happy I can actually put on some Autumnal clothing - haven't worn jeans in a couple of months now! Oh yeah & the main reason I thought of green for today is that this year the Pantone Colour of the Year is Emerald Green ...hmm not a colour I've ever been a fan of, particularly. Since I'm Asian & yellow, anything with a tinge of green makes me look sickly usually. I did want to acknowledge the prettiness of...

Last weekend was belated Valentine's Day date night for Justin & I. We both worked all day on the actual date so didn't really do anything. I've never really celebrated V-day before seeing as usually I'm single at the time, but this time 'round looks like I got spoilt! This is my outfit & this is how I felt on the day. YEAHH BOI. Wearing: agent ninetynine leopard crop from General Pants , American Apparel chiffon skirt, Sportsgirl sunnies, Volcom bag & Diva rings. Yeah, Justin's never really been a photo person - whereas I am a selfie queen as you can see :P He picked me a cute little pink flower on our walk to the train station, I'm usually no romantic but I found this pretty sweet :) Chinatown in Melbourne CBD is such a lively and fun place to be - and really popular too! We planned to eat at Shanghai Dumpling House which is a favourite of ours, but the line out the door wasn't really too encouraging! In the end we s...

This is Fame Agenda 's collection "Donkey Skin", which is being released in Australia as a resort collection. The unusual name of this collection is derived from a translation of a 1600s twisted, Cinderella-type fairytale. Designers Monica Lim and Holly Chandra were inspired by the story & its folkloric ideas to create clothing that harks straight from the scene of a Brothers Grimm fable. The label has commissioned several off-beat, mixed-media works by Melbourne artist Louis Kanzo to support the collection, some of which are seen in the photos below. I think it's a beautiful concept! :) The references to the fairytales/mythology are subtle, and the result is a collection full of wonders - oceanic prints, metallic and shiny embroidery, quirky shapes juxtaposed with flirty mesh, and oh you can't forget that goldfish print. It's so cute yet somehow effortless...and I really wouldn't mind those goldfish emblazoned pieces. Seriously! Fame Ag...

So it was freakin' hot today - the temperature soared into the 30s yet again. I guess that last post was a little pre-emptive and keen on my part. But eh, I never said I didn't like Summer!! Since I pledged to myself to wear more colour & less black, this outfit is definitely a thumbs up in the right direction, even though the skirt is black...hehe :) MINKPINK floral skirt, MISS SHOP scarf worn as top, Tony Bianco clogs, Sportsgirl sequinned mini bag, Diva & Sportsgirl rings, Mum's necklace. I LOVELOVELOVE the print of my mum's scarf which she bought from Myer before Xmas, and it turned into a cute little crop top that kept me cool today. Paired it with this skirt which I usually only wear with plain black or white tops. I saw an awesome streetstyle pic of clashing prints on a girl and, well, bam! This outfit. Wore it to the supermarket & got a lot of weird stares. It was actually really cathartic being bright and stared at, seeing as I...

Autumn Essentials by stacy Minkpink Jumper | Wrangler Hi-Twiggy Jeans | Topshop chunky leather boots | Alexander Wang 'Diego' bag | Forever New curb chain necklace | MAC Saigon Summer lipstick | DIPTYQUE tea candle So please excuse the 'punny' title of this post; I really can't resist, it happens more often than it should and it makes me look dorky, but guys, it's nearly Autumn! My favourite season by far. The weather is still warm, yet the sun is never harsh. Leaves on the trees shed their greens which turn to golds, reds and browns fluttering around like butterflies. It is a truly beautiful season, but also one where us Melburnians must be prepared for any sort of weather ;) Top of my list of essentials for the upcoming month is jumper which is lightweight yet warm, and can be layered with a coat or scarf on those cooler days, or worn on its own in pleasant weather. I recommend a big animal print, such as a tiger, because animal print is still...
