ONE YEAR | ANNIVERSARY

So the weekend I've been planning with Blondey for a few months finally happened and I could not be happier.

Our getaway at Somerset Hotel was very much like the surprise Valentine spent at Adina. It was an opportunity to spend some quality time together after all the college work and full-time jobs fell away in the background.

Being with him makes me appreciate how lucky and blessed I am. I am constantly surrounded by girlfriends with stories of boy-drama and crazy escapades with their paramours; but when everything finally quietens down to a dull roar, I love being in love with Blondey and the best moments with him are the ones spent doing the most mundane chores.

He had surprised me with Legally Blonde: The Musical tickets after convincing me that he had forgotten to buy them. I was a bit shattered, but was more than happy to be taken out to dinner to make up for it. The black split one-arm full length dress is literally my favourite thing right now and if weather permitted I would probably wear it every single day.

I teamed it with my gorgeous golden triangle pearl earrings and necklace, and golden vintage GUESS? heels.

 We had coffee and cakes every single day; we barely got through an entire chocolate tapas and struggled with the absolutely sinful sweets. The weather was chilly consistently, but that didn't deter me from insisting on the outfits I have had planned for weeks. Granted, I may be paying for it a bit now with the cold but it was well worth it.

I promise I'll post up detailed outfit posts soon, now that I am back home. Cannot wait to show you guys some new collaborations I have coming up!

That's all for now :) Hope everyone has a fantastic day/night!

2013: Mother's Day

I don't usually post up personal posts on this platform anymore, but here's a snapshot of the morning we've had on Mother's Day.

My mother made a traditionally Vietnamese cuisine for us to enjoy, and then we moved on to opening the gifts. We had decided the night before that we would stay at home instead of heading out to eat; I think it's really nice to spend quality time at home, and it makes me miss the times I used to always be home in time for dinner. These days university finishes so late that by the time I get home, everyone else has already had their meals ;(

I hope everyone had an amazing day today with their families!

Unapologetic Selfie post

I am obsessed with this body chain. It's made a few guest appearances on my blog, and I seriously cannot get enough of it. There's always that one piece of jewellery you pile on with everything: this is it. Every girl should have that one thing that completes an outfit.

For normal girls, that's a smile I suppose.

Here you can see the real face of the chain; I put it backwards because this crop top has a massive bare-back feature on it that makes it completely useless in this Melbourne weather. It's something to look at other than my bare skin I suppose.

Apologies for the mess of regrowth you can see. Being a red-haired girl means that you are constantly topping up your hair, and I haven't had the time.

In two weeks, I'll be blogging about this huge personal event that's coming up for me. I'm really excited, because I have a few outfits I really want to share with you! Until then!

Exploding flowers

I've had this neon floral trousers forever, but I never knew what to wear with it. I had promptly forgotten about them until only very recently, and decided to just go ahead and pair it with a racer-back neon yellow top and my cobalt heels.

Not the most perfect outfit, but boy was it the most comfortable attire for a day full of errands.

I'm trying to blog more frequently now, since uni stuff is finally slowing down and I can just relax and do the things I actually want to.

I'm still in the midst of planning for PROJECT NEW. I'm running into some stumbling blocks along the way, but it's all part of the process.

Little progress is better than no progress at all.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!

Strip(p)ed

 

Just a quick post before I run off to pick up my brother from his camping trip. Blondey and I have a special date night planned and I have a few errands to attend to before he comes over to pick me up.

I am in love with the heels--I'm starting to invest in a large cobalt-coloured collection and accessories, and these are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own. Because my hair is so bright and vibrant, I always have to be careful not to overdress and simmer down on the amount of colours I block out with.

White and black is the best way to go about that. The blazer is my go-to piece for job interviews! One should always have that one piece of attire they always go back to for a confidence boost. The heels and blazer are definitely on my top five of pieces that make me feel like a million dollars.

Grey Garters

Please excuse my facial expression; I've been suffering from a mean case of chronic bitch face for a week now, with all the assessments that have been piling up.

I had a free hour today before I rushed off for an eight-hour errand, so I threw on whatever was closest and grabbed my tripod.

For the first time in ages, Melbourne's weather wasn't so godawful and I managed a good few photos before it became blisteringly cold again.

(For anyone who's interested, the stockings are from House of Holland. I've had a few people ask me when I wore them today, which gave me such a nice confidence boost. I am officially in love with stockings for winter.)
