LOVE: Galaxy White Horse Print Light-grey Pullover by Romwe

I love this Galaxy White Horse Print Light-grey Pullover by Romwe. I have a love/hate relationships with stores, trends and seasons. I will like something for weeks and buy big, and then comes the period where I buy nothing. Romwe are doing something right, for me, at the moment :)

NEW: Magnitude Plait Ring by Ayako Kanari


I'm really into rings at the moment. I've never been much of a ring person until only recently. If you haven't noticed already, I always wear a gold ring on my middle finger on my left hand. It's a family heirloom, a wedding ring in fact, that I never take off - so I often find it hard to find rings to match. I think this Magnitude Plait Ring by Ayako Kanari via Boticca will be perfect. It's simple enough with just that little bit of quirky detail.

It also comes in black, rose gold and silver in case golden blonde isn't your colour :)


Last night, I attended my friend's The Body Shop party - wore my Wake up Ring by Selda Okutan. It was highly admired :-) I didn't purchase anything as I was highly disappointed with the gingerbread products. I did, however, win a prize ... but I cheated ... sort of lol - with permission from the party girl - so I guess that makes it okay, right? :\

HOME: Birthday Wishlist


Red Starlight Bangle Bracelet by BeautySpot via Etsy
Rock of Ages DVD via JB HiFi
Tim Gunn's Fashion Bible by Tim Gunn via Book Depository

My birthday is less than a month away (hooray!). I'm not one of those people who demands that everyone must buy her a present. If friends show up to whatever birthday plans I may have, that's a gift all in itself.

So here's my birthday/Christmas wishlist that I will eventually get around to buying for myself :-) I always buy myself the best presents lol At least I know I won't be disappointed!

EVENT: Melbourne Zoo


Today I went to the Melbourne Zoo - my first time in four years. This weekend is the second last weekend that the painted elephant statues will be on show before being auctioned off to raise money to save the elephants. It's a great cause and, having taken photos of the elephants when they were around the city, I didn't want to miss my opportunity to see them all in the one spot before I missed my chance.

There's more elephant and also animal photos under the cut. If I posted every photo I took, it would take hours to load. I always take a million photos - especially of the adorable meerkats! So cute!

BLOG: INstagram



A very kitty-centric Instagram mix today =D It all had to do with a certain family member's Christmas present ... more on that later when the gift arrives.

Oh and just FYI, the tortie is Tiga and the ginger is Max.

EVENT: Guineas Cup



Spring Racing kicked off today with Caulfield Race Course hosting the Guineas Cup. The day is never as crowded as the ever-popular Caulfield Cup day but with special guest Adam Lambert performing after the last race, he drew in a bit of a crowd.

I arrived around midday, met my friends and we went inside. This was my first time to Guineas. I was going to attend Caulfield Cup this year - as I did last year - but when I heard that Adam was performing, I decided that I'd rather kill two birds with one stone and go to Guineas.

I spent the day socialising with friends, drinking and eating. I would have liked to see a bit of the fashion stakes but perhaps next time. I'm also not much of a tgambler. It would be different if I could pick a winner but as I usually always end up loosing my money, I didn't bet this year.

My friend and I went to line up for Adam an hour before he was scheduled to come on stage. There was already a crowd in wait so I was a little further from the stage than I wanted but there wasn't much that I could do ... lucky my camera has a good zoom :) I was being pushed, poked and could hardly move but hey, I guess that's all part of the fun. Shortly before his performance there was a huge uproar of screaming. The crowd all turned and saw Adam slowly walking towards the stage. He waved and smiled before disappearing backstage.

Ten minutes later, Adam ran onto the stage kicking off (pun intended) his set with the dance number Kickin' In.

Adam said how colourful and fashionable we were all dressed (it's tradition that the men wear suits and the females wear pretty dresses). A girl in the front row started crying and Adam said how lovely she looked (She lost her marbles. It was adorable.) He asked if she 'needed a fan?' Then joked saying, 'there's fans all around you'. He laughed and apologised, citing that his jokes are terrible.

I remember he asked if we liked Trespassing and said that it was his latest single.

For Outlaws of Love he described how he wrote this song about how everyone should be treated the same not matter their age, sex, sexual orientation, race etc. He sat down and the mood got very somber and heartfelt. It was beautiful - a little like Whataya Want From Me, except that he wasn't sitting down when he sang that.

He said that he's horrible at intros. He asked, "What now?" Someone in his band said, "Naked". So Adam said that they were all going to get naked. Then he remarked he was joking but the audience were allowed to get naked if we wanted to. Then someone threw up a hat to which he said he needed for Trespassing. He gave it to his lead guitarist (I don't know his name but only his face) to wear throughout the set - as Adam 'didn't want to mess up his hair'. Next a pair of yellow and black striped underwear and a batman bra were thrown on stage. He passed the bra to his band member, saying that she could wear it. Adam checked and said that the underwear were just his size. He said that it's good that he was getting all his shopping done and if we had any other items of clothing that we didn't want then we should throw them on stage. Shortly after a pink bra was thrown in his face. He said that it's not yellow so he couldn't accept it, before smiling and saying he was joking. He put the pink bra on the front of the stage and said, 'it's quite a generous cup size, which is good. Nice.' Then he sang Naked Love.

At one stage, Adam left the stage and one of his back up singers were trying to get us to sing. I can't remember the song but she had a lovely voice. There were also some other cover songs but I can't remember what they were either as he only sung snippets. I'm going to try and find video footage on YouTube to help me remember the bits I've forgotten.

He asked how many of us were from Melbourne - many hands went up. Then, New Zealand? There were some screams from the audience. The US? A couple of hands went up (his back-up ladies cheered). Adam asked if they had travelled just for the show but the audience member explained that they know lived in Melbourne.

If I Had You was definitely a crowd favourite. It was one of the songs that people danced more to and sang along too.

Other songs he sang were:
Chokehold
Cuckoo
Never Close Our Eyes
Pop That Lock
Shady

Adam dressed for the day wearing an amazing horse print jacket.


During the encore he introduced his band and then he was gone. A lot of people were waiting around afterwards - no doubt for a photo or autograph. I probably would he waited if there weren't so many people about. I will meet him one day - probably at a signing - but for now, it's not meant to be and I'm okay with this.

I wish I could remember more banter. It will most likely come to me during the two-ish hours it usually takes for me to fall asleep. I'll update as comes. All up, it was an amazing hour long show. He really knows how to work a crowd - he touched hands, made us jump (a bad idea when we're all so close together), clap along to songs, wave, fist pump the air. He made us dance, laugh, cry. I can't wait to see him perform again. What a powerful voice he has! I love when he dances. He's such a natural performer. His movements are sometimes sexual but other times just really in tune with the music. It's hard to explain unless you're a fan and/or seen him perform but if you've never had the pleasure of seeing him live, I'd highly recommend it.

EVENT: Race Into Spring by DFO


Last weekend, I was able to stop in for a quick visit to DFO. There were people everywhere, due to it being the last day of school holidays and, with so many free events on, it was the perfect place to take your kids to for some weekend family fun.

Around most corners were mannequins dressed in the latest trends for spring racing.

There was little turfs of grass with different activities - a mini chess set set out on the lawn, free photo booth, craft activities and croquet were just some of the activities I saw. There was also garden chairs and tables surrounded by a white picket fence and under an arch of red roses - it very much reminded me of Alice in Wonderland. I'm not 100% sure but I believe you could order cupcakes and other treats at the tables.

Also on offer were extra savings care of a coupon book.

I wish I took more photos as the stands looked really pretty! but there were just so many people that it was so hard. It really was a fun day out though. Sadly, I bought nothing as they had sold out in what I was looking for :\

I have an amazing weekend planned. More on this later!
Enjoy your weekend everybody! It's good to be back! ^_^

I thought I would share Instagram photos of my most recent buys =D

Full of my Love Ring by Yuki Nagao via Boticca

I'm having a little trouble with my internet (again!!!) so please bare with me if I disappear without explanation, it's not my fault, promise. I'm also in the middle of a detox and, by the end of the day, I feel like I am left without much energy. It finishes Saturday, so I shall be my normal self again in no time.

Anyway, I hope you like my latest buys.

By the way, again, to the anonymous person who gave me the link to the boohoo leggings, thankyou, thankyou! I adore them oh so much!

LOVE: Handmade Clay Dinosaur Necklace by littlelampsculpture


I've been umming and ahhing over this Handmade Clay Dinosaur Necklace by littlelampsculpture via etsy for weeks. So whilest I ponder, I thought I'd share. It's so adorable but I'm unsure if I'd wear it. I would probably just sit her on my desk just for her cuteness.

And I do so love dinosaurs. I always have.

LOVE: Scorpio Cord Bracelet by Tara Wolf


Every year I buy myself a birthday present. I don't have to as I buy things for myself all year round, but I like to buy something and put it away to open on the day. 

The Scorpio Cord Bracelet by Tara Wolf will probably be this year's gift.
I am a proud Scorpio women after all ;)

LOVE: Snow White Overnight Bag by Peter Alexander


I'm very much thinking I might buy this Snow White Overnight Bag by Peter Alexander next week for my trip to Sydney in November. I know, it's just a bag and I really don't need it and why would I buy something specifically for a trip - but isn't it adorable?!

I'm also trying to plan everything way too early. I have ideas of what I'm going to pack and everything. I can't really help it though because I'm so excited to be going back to my favourite city! Just over a month to go =D

Have a good weekend everybody!

NEW: by Boticca


I've been on a bit of a Boticca shopping spree lately! As well as Christmas presents (I'm getting in early as I'm getting everything custom made - when I get a big chunk of cash, I like to spend it on others), I treated myself to the Wake up Ring by Selda Okutan and Full of my Love Ring by Yuki Nagao.


I most recently ordered this Tiny initial necklace in silver by BijouxBar by Vivien Frank
in an M, of course =D

+

So what else is new with me? I've been a little busy but I do have some good news.
I'M GOING TO SYDNEY FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Sydney is my favourite place in the world and I'm very happy to go back, even if it's just for a couple of days. I don't have specific dates yet, as we're in talks with the travel agent, but it's definitely happening =D
