Back In Melbourne

For the past five weeks I have been in Vietnam enjoying the hot weather, beaches, food and shopping so that explains the lack of posts. But I am back and it has been two days of being home in Melbourne where I have gotten back to healthy eating and exercise because slacked in Vietnam and ate and ate, but the food was wonderful. Yesterday I bought a lovely crochet skirt for a really good price and today a pair of taupe coloured platform wedges (shows up grey in pictures for some weird reason). Today's outfit was the croceht skirt I bought yesterday, a simple white singlet and Forever New denim jacket with my white Converse.

Celebrating New Year's Eve with my beautiful new dress from MNG. 

This year has been such a ride that has taken me on such an unexpected journey, there were definitely bad moments but there were also the good ones that I'll always remember. What I remember though is the amount of things this year taught me alone. Hopefully 2012 will be brighter and filled with opportunities, for I can only try to grasp and take advantage of every moment because life passes by so fast. 

Happy New Year everyone!
Stay safe!

So today I went with my best friend to the city to shop and bought a few items for really cheap. The white lace crop bustiere top is from Factorie, which I bought on a hot Saturday. Thankfully today was a little bit cooler but with a touch of sun, anyway, the second item is a beautiful skirt from Forever New that I've had my eye on for a while, same as the Don't Ask Amanda 'Flowers' camisole from General Pants Co, then I bought a beatuiful bunch of mixed turquoise bracelets and two beautiful rings. I'm thinking I can pair the white top with my new skirt, what do you think?

The last few days have been pretty good. From the pictures above you can see that I've bought MAC's eyeshadow in the colour Wedge, I'm really happy with it, it's such a nice colour to wear every day, I just use it as a crease colour, now I'm hoping to get Vanilla or Brule as a base colour. But I really like MAC's eyeshadows as they're easy to blend and plus they don't wear off as easily. Yesterday I went lingerie shopping as my underwear collection needed more. There are so many nice clothes on sale right now and it is seriously tempting! I must resist!

Yesterday was an interesting day to say the least, went out to lunch with a friend, went to school and did some drawing which was pretty fun and then worked from 5.30pm to 9.15pm, so it was a long day but I enjoyed it. This Wednesday when I went to lunch with Kelli, we walked around and browsed the stores and I did not expect to get a new item! I said I'd save! But there was the Portmans silk leopard print skirt staring at me in the face and I could not say no, especially when I tried it on and it looked good! It didn't help that my second opinion also liked the skirt! Haha! So I had no control whatsoever and bought it and wore it yesterday, in fact I might wear it again today! This skirt wasn't even on the shopping list! But oh well! I love it.
