cold...

On a cold Sydney morning... nothing beats the comfort of a silk-cashmere sweater on bare skin... I love this one from Maje... no goosebumps plus I can sleep in it & still look good.

A dreary supermarket run turns into a big smile with these Elmo baby wipes I found!

P1050073

How cute is this? :) Why dont we have this in Singapore?????

I have been working so hard this week i deserve to buy all the useless baby wipes i want!

Vanessa traina x Maje = best friend of all your white tees that go a little too low.

Her capsule collection for the French brand is gorgeous. Pair with a blazer for a chic evening look.

H&M's Conscious collection > prettiest scallop shorts ever for both inside & outside the house. It reminds me of the seaside ♥

P1040843

Roomy metallic gold blouse... when texture can dress up a simple design.

I love it when fashion is simple & no pressure to look a certain way. xx

spring skirt

Inspiration from Chloe spring 2011 // i loved the idea of a ballet skirt & my Repetto flats... i guess when you're a mere mortal & not a ballerina, you find ways to fulfill your Black Swan fantasy :)

And on the streets... a lovely spring skirt.. understated & comfy & looks great on tall girls!

Samantha Thavasa ♥ Hello Kitty ♥  Liberty = big ♥

I could not resist getting something from this collection, a little purse for my foreign currencies.

A collaboration between all 3 brands, sometimes you really have to hand it to the Japanese for their saccharine sweetness!

last minute

Home away from home... the Grand millenium beijing is one of my favorite hotels.

P1030075

From Sydney to Beijing, my schedule, & thus my life, is always subject to last-minute changes.

P1030101

Getting dressed in my new leopard print dress for........... the Christmas tree lighting ceremony in the hotel lobby. 

Ummm yeah thats how exciting my social life is. Btw that is already the highlight of my week haha.

out in Perth

In Perth, it's all about being laid-back & casual & the lovely Swan river & a bottle of Shiraz shared with good company.

The cutest sailor girl jacket I have.

the Marais

Each time i have a day on my hands in Paris, I will walk around the Marais & lose myself in the streets & shops & the wonderful mix of old vs new.

One of the most beautiful museums in Paris.

IMG_3309

Its manicured gardens stood regal & silent on an empty weekday afternoon. I felt like i had stepped into a secret Eden.

IMG_3364

The Musee Carnavalet houses collections which tell the story of the history of Paris in paintings, artefacts & pieces of furniture.

IMG_3339

The only man besides me in the garden.

IMG_3396

I took a walk to the Place des Vosges, whose famous residents included Victor Hugo & Cardinal Richelieu.

IMG_3402

The arcades of the place.

IMG_3420

My secret rooftop cafe.

And then it was aperitif time at Hotel Costes. Always wanted to go but never found the time.

We chose a table which was a little more intimate.

IMG_3453

Cocktails amongst books & a beautiful gift.

IMG_3451

I always make time... for peace.

The church of Saint-Eustache. The organ is so grand & amazing. I read somewhere that it's the biggest organ in France & to be honest, i'm not sure i've seen bigger ones anywhere else.

I leave you now as I need to make my own Petit Bateau shirt.

Liberty

Beautiful weather in London does not come often I'm told.
london 004
The spring sunshine was welcome as I was up early, lining up at Leicester Square for half-price theatre tickets!
london 027
Billy Elliot the musical.
london 038
I sneaked in this shot when it ended... we gave a standing ovation, it was so good.
london 024

Made my way to this iconic London store for the first time.... excited!
london 016
A whole floor devoted to Liberty prints & fabrics. Any self-respecting crafter would go gaga here i think. I was floating around, fingering this, touching that, my eyes roaming hungrily over the rolls of pretty fabrics.
london 023
Cream tea with scones, raspberry jam & clotted cream @ Liberty's tea room. Well actually i had a double cappuccino. Needed the caffeine shot.
COS-ss10-women
And i'm ashamed to report i spent a ghastly amount of money at COS - a premium line set up by H&M with accessible prices. I have always wanted to check out their boutiques & London had many of them! COS's style is very me, slouchy chic without compromising on the kind of cut I look for. I walked very quickly back to the hotel after that... couldn't afford to do any more shopping!
london 046
I ended up wearing this COS cotton & leather t-shirt dress the very next day. Max love!
london 042
Secret garden.

I hoped you too had a wonderful weekend.
In such a rush these days.. never enough time xxx
