NEW YORK

So, I'm back home, Down Under. I lived a life long dream of walking the streets I've seen so many times on the small and big screen. I've seen the romantic Empire State Building and the amazing Statue of Liberty. I've enjoyed the lavish life of shopping from 9am to 5pm and literally shopping til I drop. I've been lost in the concrete jungle while singing "new york, concrete jungle where dreams are made of" under my breath while strolling in the green rectangle Central Park on the famous NYC summer heat. Strolled around the famous museums and watched Phantom of the Opera at Broadway. Enjoyed the culture, lights, food and endless line of yellow cabs. New York.. I wouldn't mind coming back..

Grazia Cabin Fever

so chic!

Backstage at MYER S/S 10

I am no Scott Schuman so do not judge my out of focus, blurry candid photos! Here are my sneaky shots from the Myer SS 10 backstage where I was assigned to dress a male model that was really... i dare say.. HOT.I loved Alex Box from Illasmasqua and her Cruella de Vil slash Daphne Guinness look. She wore the same outfit for 2 days in a row.. it must be her uniform. CHIC! Backstage crew went berserk when Kris Smith, Jessica Hart and Jeniffer Hawkins stepped out of the dressing rooms!

A bite from THE BIG APPLE

It's been a while since i have posted my little nothings. Some things have changed in my life.. some really good things. First of all, I am finally free of my boring admin job and I am officially redundant as of Friday the 13TH!!! Who said friday the 13th was such a tragic day. Secondly, I have planned a trip to New York City to visit a good friend of mine and it would be my first visit to the U.S.A. and my first solo trip! I have no time to have a cold feet about the whole trip because I will be leaving on the 21st of August! I must tell you, travelling alone is no cheap plan. It would have been great if I could split my accomodation bills, since there is no way on Earth I am staying in some "shared bathroom" hostel. I had a great pay out from my redundancy so that has helped HEAPS! I cannot wait to explore the Big Apple alone and take home I heart NY shirts for everyone! I will miss my bestfriend and boyfriend though.. but NYC fashion capital of US.. here I come! :)

Paris Fall Couture Fashion Week favorites

This is the first time I have looked closely at Paris Couture Fashion Week and I have to cast my favorites and if I had the couture worthy cash account, where I would wear this stunning creations!




I love this because its not splashed with uber bright colours compared to the rest of Christian Dior's couture creations for fall. I would wear this to a tea party with Blair and Serena. Yes, you can laugh.




I love how Jean Paul Gaultier sent his models sashaying down the runway with those lovely turbans so reminiscent of the LV bunny ears for some reason. Well, I loved this look because of the feathers which seems to be creeping on trend and the chunky jewel adornment. Almost show girlish but that's JP Gaultier for you. I would wear this in a night in Paris with my lover...

and this Elie Saab creation...



I will wear to a high school reunion! just for laughs, people.

Patrick Mohr's Bald ambition

There is nothing exciting or new about the clothes he sent down the runway and the models seem to have come out of a coughing cat. Art? Fashion? I do not know... and geez this model needs a good feed. I guess, when you do not have enough inspiration for designs.. move on to how you can create free press! Smart, but seriously...

FashionBay: When technical issues get in the way!

I don't know about you ladies and fashion conscious gents (gays and metro's), but I crave to buy a bag every now and then. But I have that one major itch once a year and I have been suffering for 3 weeks now, or more. But, I did realise that ever since I have pledged to only buy classic pieces-pricey or not, my bag splurging has been minimal. I only bought 3 bags from August 2009 to this month, almost a year! My first Chanel 2.55, a stupid knock-off Chanel Sequin bag from that dodgy website (NEVER AGAIN!!!), and a large black patent clutch from Collette for only $12.50! So, last night I remembered a tweet I received from @fashionbayfan saying that they have sold a LV bag for $3 or some meagre price. So I took my (my boyfriend's) iPAD to bed and started browsing and created a fashionbay account. Was so excited to find out that they had a Gucci "Joy" medium Boston Bag on Auction starting at $1.17!!! They said everything they sell is Authentic and can be returned in 14days so that's all bells ringing for me! So, I went to work this morning ready to bid the hell out of this bad (doesn't make sense, i know) just to be kicked out of the website 5 seconds before the time finished. So I sent them a complaint and received a response within 5minutes. Enoch from fashionbay told me that the website experienced some technical issues around that time and all they can do is return the bids I used. Each bid costs $.80 and they threw in 5 free bids for my inconvenience. Well, the bidder won the bag for only $2.38!!! I could have won the damn thing! Enoch did say that they will be auctioning another Gucci Joy bag soon. So, I will be getting ready for that!
