It's Nicole, bitch

Ok here's a really short post but here are some (ha, three to be precise) pictures of Nicole Richie. Apparently girl's in Down Under right now (husband Joel is a judge on the Aussie version's of The Voice). Just come to Melbourne please!

Photoshoot for Ocean Drive magazine (Mar'12).

Love her look here (and the dress)

 I need to ask my mom to teach me how to do this 

Love the Marchesa wedding gown. It's so Swan Princess-esque <3

Before I end off, here's another picture that reminds me of the one of Nicole and Joel at their wedding.

Tada!!!! It's one of my favorite couples - Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake! The way they gazed each other lovingly just makes you wanna go 'awwwwww.' Picture's taken at the Met Gala 2012, though I really gotta say that the bangs and the Prada gown does NOT do any justice to Jessica. I mean, natural stunner with a hot bod, so whats with the hair and the gown? 

Amen

Cos I'm old school just like that

Lanvin & Alber Elbaz

It seems that even the French have succumbed to the rise of the Orient - China, that is. French couture house Lanvin (one of my favorite French fashion house apart from Celine) has chose to set its sights on the Chinese capital city of Beijing for another round of celebration as it marks the 10th year helm of its designer, Alber Elbaz. Here are some sneak peeks and indeed, some of the clothes are simply gorgeous and to die for. Ah, if only I were 6 feet tall and modelesque (ok, who am I tryna kid??)... But glad that the runway show did feature quite a number of Chinese Asian models. Well, it's a fashion show in China after all...

Love the minimalist look of this peplum dress

My week in pictures

I can't believe I spent the entire afternoon evening (after church and grocery shopping) on my ebay listings. Man, I was so engrossed with keeping track of my sales (hahahaha) and listing new products so much so I had a nasty shock when I realised it was way past 9pm and I've yet to prepare dinner. I guess it's probably back to ebay once again once I'm done with this post. Can't wait to clear my wardrobe and make space for my new purchases *winks, ok, SMIRKS

Me during lecture and chilling like a boss. Disclaimer: before you start thinking I'm some unrefined, uncivilized and uncultured Asian chick, this was taken during the lecture break. We had a movie screening (thats film studies Majors kids for ye) and I was in this posture half the time cos I needed to stretch my legs. And also 'cos there was no one seating in front of me. I ain't that rough, y'know. 

Brunch @ Twenty & Six Espresso (see previous post for more info). 

 I love people watching (old habits die hard)

 Model in a 1970s Brooks Brothers ad. He's hot and the New Yorker cousin would totally love this (uh, he ain't gay but he's a huge BB fan)

'The Hunter'

'Geisha'

Low ankle boots with satin ribbon bow that I'm gonna put up for sale on ebay. Selling it cos we're moving and frankly speaking, I might pull of this look when I'm 18...but not now...at the ripe old age of 22

The same pair of boots. Taken when I was 18. Get my drift (about being young and pulling off that girly look)?

Dinner on mon at Gami Chicken off Lonsdale Street, Melbourne. Holy shit, that was one hell load truckload of fried chicken. 

OK, this pic of yours truly does not belong here (literally and figuratively speaking) cos it was taken in Spring 2010. Heh heh

The Big Issue

Uh, I've managed to convince my New Yorker cousin to help me with some purchases from American Apparel, since it's way cheaper in the States as compared to Aussie. Though I can't decide if I should get the Disco Pant or the Riding Pant. I love the Disco Pant (excusez-moi, it's basically lust at first sight) but alas, the thought of walking around in a sparkly jeggings-ish looking outfit doesn't seem to entirely goes well with me. And then i saw this picture of the Riding Pant. Which. Basically. Nailed. It. All.

Before I sign off (and start making my online purchases), this is what I ate for brunch earlier today. Aptly named after traditional female Japanese performers (Memoirs of a Geisha, anyone?), the 'Geisha' consists of black and white sesame-crusted tuna steak along with wasabi mash. Wow, wasabi mash - thats mash potato in a whole new level (YES, I'm a sucker for anything potato). 

Place we went to: Twenty & Six Espresso, along 594 Queensberry Street, North Melbourne

Say A Little Prayer

I love Sundays. It's the day where I get to meet my favorite people at church and chill with them. Sunday Best much? *laughs. Anyway I was lucky enough that it started to rain and hail only after I got home. And to think the weather was so sunny earlier on! But then again, this is Melbourne we're talking about. You get to experience four seasons in a day and I'm not even kidding. Weather from tomorrow onwards is gonna be cold cold cold, which probably means time to bring out the tights, jeans and booties. But that said, I've finally managed to upload pictures of my recent Sydney getaway, though I'll probably blog about Sydney sometime this week.

But before I sign off with a huge ta!, I've managed to squeeze in a couple of amateur self-timer shots of my outfit today. I've been lusting after this pair of two-sided Nylon-Mesh leggings since 2010 ever since American Apparel became a favorite brand of mine (sheer mesh + shiny opaque nylon = très chic et sexy!) But alas, leggings cost AUD76 on the Aussie site (and nope, the US site does not ship to Australia). I love AA for their quality, comfort and designs but seriously, $76 for a pair of leggings is tad too much. Well, but I've managed to lay hands on not one - but two of these leggings when I realised AA is selling them for just $15! Apparently they made too many of these tights in XS and phew, guess I was really lucky! I was kinda apprehensive at first about the sizing. Even though I'm pretty much a skinny person, I'm really bottom heavy. I'm a UK8 for my bottom and an XS doesn't seems to be an optimum size for me. It probably doesn't help when I opened my parcel and started pondering to myself if it makes sense that I can actually squeeze my thighs and butt into such a small pair of leggings. But woman, it's spandex! And nylon! Which makes it pretty stretchable. I also love the part that the mesh part reminds me of fishnet stockings, albeit this is the non-trashy and classier version. It's a pretty unique pair of leggings. Ok, I should seriously stop rambling and show you guys pictures. Pardon the amateurish shots though as I've too much girl pride to ask my cold, unfriendly and unfeeling  sister (kidding) to help me with a decent full-body shot.
