So I had to make another Separated at Birth post purely and simply because you have to agree with me here when I say... The 1960s style icon Twiggy looks a lot like Carey Mulligan! (of course when I say Twiggy I mean her younger self). Maybe they are related in some way?? It's too uncanny... Don't you think they look eerily similar? I love them both!

With her pixie haircut and sophisticated-schoolmarm style, actress Carey Mulligan has fast become one of my favourites (I loved her An Education!). The Londoner flawlessly channels a mix of classic sophistication with a sweet whimsical feminine look.  Her perfect skin, the pixie hair, the big eyes and the skinny, awkward posture make her look adorably cute and sweet. She’s always smiling and

The last two weeks of 40+ degree celsius has finally made me book that all important appointment and give up my long hair and go for the big chop.I've been going to Stephanie Chew's cute little salon in Northbridge - S2C hair designs located in Monger street. My brother has been going to her for ages and been trying to get me to go for a while, but I really couldn't be bothered until last year

Situated on William street in between Newcastle and Brisbane street and next door to Viet Hoa, sits this tiny, blink and you will miss, Thai restaurant. It does nothing to bring attention to itself and doesn't need to, because it's all by word of mouth, which really is the best form of advertising. It's deco is plain and simple with paneled photos of food against white painted walls. The

Bf and I had a lovely brunch last Saturday at Moore & Moore Cafe in Fremantle. It's situated at the famous Moore & Moore building (DUH!) which is part of the Notre Dame University complex, opposite the Law and Medicine buildings and of course amongst this charming little house painted blue with a red door.  Seeing as it was summer I doned a yellow dress paired with a red belt and headband, ready

The heatwave is killing me... I can't go to the gym... (too hot) and stupid bus drivers not putting on the air con for the bus and just the ridiculous 40+ degree Celsius heat for the whole week! Argh... I wish I can migrate to a cooler place while it's summer in Perth!

Zooey Deschanel never looks less than picture perfect twist on 1960s look. Cute yet sexy, adorable but stunning and all ending with such a sweet smile. That is what I aspire to be when I wake up, take a shower, do my makeup, and get dressed and always look prim and proper (without being uptight), girly (without overtly looking delicate or too lacey and flowery), and over-all

As part of Perth Fashion Week, I always strive to go to the Northbridge, On William street fashion events, in particular the Outskirts. And every year they don't seem to disappoint. In 2011, thanks to the generous City of Perth's contribution to up and coming fashion designers and promotion of the arts in the city the Outskirts was bigger and better than ever! The pins they gave out this year

One of my favorite areas of Perth is the Swan Valley. It's a bit of country romance just 30 to 45 minutes from the city. It has wineries, chocolate factory, ice creameries, nougat factory and some really quaint galleries and cafe hideaways. One of those gallery/cafe place is Taylors Art Coffee House, a blink and you probably missed it. It has an old rustic charm, with mismatched cups and

Alexa Chung; effortlessly cool flawlessly stylish and preppy with an edge. I love her effortless and almost minimalistic style. She mixes items of clothing that wouldn't be paired together (or shouldn't be) and make it look "thown" on and cool. Something I hope I can pull of one day. And I can't go past her prep-look. So cute and adorable but has this edgey-ness to it. Gosh I need

A couple of the boys and I headed to Northbridge on a hump day to recover from the mid-week slump and spend some time with Al who is going to be returning to Sydney soon. We were going to take him to La Cholita, but it was packed and over-flowing with people. We ended up going to a Korean restaurant on Francis street, called Sinabro. Sinabro has two separate sections; The front (indoors and

How I love balmy summer nights! It's especially wonderful because that is when there is an air of excitement, an anticipation of romance, of dreams coming true, fairy-like lanterns lightings through the trees; of whimsical times. Open air markets starts to appear. Stalls filled with lovely foods from across the globe, the air filled with the aromas of herbs, spices and smokey flavours.

One weeknight I felt inspired to cook restaurant quality food at home and I was especially craving crispy skinned salmon fillet. So I decided to serve it for my boy and me. After buying it fresh from the seafood section I further ensured the skin had no scales at home, coated the skin with olive oil, sprinkled a dash of salt (very small dash as seafood already has natural salt) and some freshly

One bright and sunny Saturday morning bf arrived at my house early while I struggled to get out of bed due to many late nights. He came with a bag of goodies - chorizos, portobello mushrooms, baker's delight freshly baked bread and eggs. He then whipped out the knife and got to work chopping the chorizos, mushrooms before lightly pan-frying them. Then he tried his new trick - poached some

  I have been dying to go to La Cholita, and luckily just before Christmas, I called up one of my favourite people's ever and asked them to meet me at the Mexican place on the corner of William and Aberdeen streets in Northbridge.  Look how flashy it looks with its big huge windows overlooking the streets, the elegant cursive name simply printed at the top, nothing could spell sheek slick

After a hard's day shopping for manchester and whatnots at the boxing day sales, it really sucks that the eatery of your choice is closed. Luckily, the reliable pubs are open. We wondered to Shafto lane and opted to eat at Durty Nelly's Irish Pub - a little reminder of our quick whirlwind tour of the Republic of Ireland in October (God it has already been 3 months!). I opted for something light

The Vic is so close to work, and was the perfect choice before heading to see Irish plays at the near community centre. I've never been to The Vic, but I was surprised but how spacious it was, the open-plan does wonders for the pub. The menu was very extensive, making it rather hard to choose. The girls decided to start with a plate of squid as their entree, followed by mains. Unfortunately I

I love the chilled atmosphere of the Brisbane Hotel on a sunny Sunday afternoon. I think it's especially more epic when you've spent the morning scouring through the boutiques of Northbridge. It's however very popular with the locals so tends to be packed out inside and on sunny days the courtyard and patio areas are filled to the brim. We were lucky enough to get a seat outside in the back

I'm a big advocate of getting people to quit smoking. I don't think people realise what they put into themselves and the consequences of them smoking. I've heard smokers all say, "It's not affecting you, so why do you care?" etc. etc. etc."Tobacco use reduces not only your life expectancy but your quality of life. Many medical conditions caused by smoking can result not just in death, but in

Bf and I went shopping for my birthday gift yesterday which turned out to be a birthday combined with Christmas gift. It's beautiful, sweet, and dainty. I opted out on the elegant looking one because I don't think I would be able to wear it everyday. But this one we both chose is perfectly suited. I just have to wait another 12 days to receive it.

Look what I ran into in the city..Blogging live from the location.. I present...The twilight food market... The same sort of one as earlier in the year except instead of just one month like last time it's on every Friday 'til March of next year. How awesome and I'm glad it is extended. Hopefully they will have more stalls as Fridays go on or at least a variety of different foods offered at the

So a couple months of ago the girls and I headed down to Margaret River for a weekend driving down at 730 in the morning stopping by at Busselton to walk the jetty before checking in and then heading to a winery, more specifically Watershed to grab some lunch and of course, bottles of wine. The grounds of watershed, like most places in Margaret River was lovely. The restaurant overlooks the

My boyfriend drives me crazy. And not necessarily in a good way. Sometimes being stuck with just one person on a holiday sucks big time. I can tell you he wouldn't win the amazing race anytime soon. He can be such a sook!

Listening to the radio - the morning talk shows rumbling about yet another superficial thing. Steering along the same road, dodging cars, changing lanes, knowing exactly which lane will be faster - then - knowing how to get back onto the right path, such routine can be done with eyes closed. As I drove down Mounts Bay, the same road, I see a familiar car, whom I swear drives down with me every

I've never been to a ballet, and when I do see the shows on telly, on SBS, I never really appreciated it, partly because ballet isn't meant to be enjoyed on a small electronic screen. But after seeing the Taming of the Shrew, I'm a huge fan!. The Taming of the Shrew is masterfully retold by John Cranko. This great romantic comedy skillfully conveys Shakespeare’s wit and sharp understanding of

I feel fat. exercise. done. lose weight. accomplished, sort of, half way to ideal weight. feeling unfashionable. nothing in wardrobe. get haircut. just a small change in colour, trim hair, get new side fringe. some unexplainable reason my clothes look better. there is new lease on old outfits and looks. NOTHING is a better mood uplifter than a trip to the hairdressers. Think every make-over

Point Walter is a park/nature reserve south of the city of Perth. It has a wonderful view of the swan river and if the tide is low you are lucky enough to walk on the exposed sand dunes all the way to a little island in the middle of the river, and maybe even to the otherside. If you are even luckier, like we were, we saw dolphins playing!  SEE DOLPHINS!

There are a lot of artworks happening around the city of Perth, it's their bid to make laneways more people friendly, which I love. On top of all this revamp, there more quaint little clubs popping up everywhere in the laneways. Very Melbournean. On one of my many brunch mornings in Northbridge with friends, and wanderings/shopping on William street, we took a few photos of the street artwork

I walk pass The Beaufort Street Merchant and drive pass it even more. Having visited their unique wine shop and gourmet goodie store, I have always wanted to try their food but have never had the opportunity. I finally ventured into The Beaufort Street Merchant with a group of work mates - all of whom are avid foodies. We managed to book a Friday night dinner for about 12 people about a month

The Bonsai Restaurant situated on Roe street in Northbridge an all-in-one Japanese fusion restaurant, cafe and lounge.

The Byrneleigh Hotel is the perfect venue for after work drinks and catch up session with collegues seeing as it is just down the road. The bar section was filled with workers starting their happy hours. The dining section however wasn't packed out but we were told that we had to be out by 7:30pm (it was 530pm) as there were bookings for the tables. The first thing that struck me about the

I have a whole lot of back-dated postings to do. I've been busy. Work's being exhausting and as such I've been living my philosophy; work hard, play harder which of course means I'm too busy to actually take time out and relax. One of the things that I did do was attend a winter music festival - On the Bright Side. It had a relatively awesome line up - Tim and Jane, Warpaint, James Blake (his

So the disadvantage of going to London/France a month after the launch of Fashion Week in Australia and I guess around the world is the fact that my one of my favourite stores, Cue also released their Spring/Summer collection (and it's a goodie) and unfortunately I have to save. I'm praying that people will not buy the items I love (very unlikely that this will happen).. I'm really loving the

A few weekends ago I went to York with JC and bf to catch up with M. It also happened to be the food and wine festival at York. After about one hour drive we were there.

I don't fine dine as often as I used to, mainly because I'm saving it all up for all the eating, drinking and shopping that I will be doing in the UK and more importantly in France. After much deliberation we decided to venture to The Silver Spoon - in an area that is starting to have a string of good eateries, Victoria Park/East Victoria Park..

Having epic weekends is something to look forward to after a long week at work. A few weekends ago, after waiting almost 5 months it was finally the day of the show - the broadway musical, Wicked - The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz! I went with my family and all I can say is I know why it's so POP-U-LAR! The setting was detailed and amazing, the lighting was well done. The costumes,

A sunny Saturday morning in winter was the perfect time to have brunch in Northbridge. Although our original destination proved to be filled with complications, namely someones not wanting to sit outside in the sun for the fear of being burnt, then only to discover sitting indoors meant sitting on stools with no real table, as the place was packed out. So we ventured inside to around the corner

Sometimes the best ways to spend a chilly winter's afternoon is to get yourself indoors at your favourite chocolatier (or cafe really) and get yourself your favourite drink. In my case, nothing was better than spending a chilly afternoon with a few girlfriends in Koko Black drinking cinnamon hot chocolate and eating amazing desserts.

Tucked between a cheesecake shop and the side of a pharmacy lies a cosy Japanese restaurant, Hanami. It provides a selection of bento boxes, sashimi, sushi and udon noodles all at the start of the Beaufort street strip in Mount Lawley. I've wandered around there for a quick bite after my boxing sessions, possibly because it's healthier to get sashimi and sushi then indulge in an italian meal

All I have to say is that I have been busy every weekend, jammed packed and too tired every other time to bother to write.

If you are hunting for a hearty, delicious italian meal in the heart of Northbridge, then Oliver's on James Street is the place to eat. It's located next to Cinema Paradiso and has both indoors and outdoors dining. The restaurant provides a large selection of meals to choose from, so it can cater to anyone's taste including the fussy eaters or the weight watchers. We dined with a group of 10,

I was in Maylands the other weekend, well, I should say I passed through but luckily for me I had an excuse to stop by and try one of their many new cafes that have popped up. One in particular I wanted to try was Mrs. S. It's a tiny little cafe with quirky misfits interior designing, with cute storybook menus and of course the thing that is taking over little corner deli to open cafes.

I got up early-ish despite sleeping at 3am the night before to go to Easter Sunday mass. There is one church that I always go to when I'm in Melbourne - St. Francis, which is on the corner of Lonsdale and Elizabeth street in the heart of the city. Perfect really. After mass the boys whom I've been sharing the apartment with were all awake and having breakfast, so with my lovely coffee in hand

Gigs on a Sunday night never made sense to me. It's a tiring and trialing effort to convince yourself it's worth it and that you won't feel too bad the next day at work. This however doesn't work when you had a pretty full weekend, already lost sleep, and had a long seminar the day of the gig, which by the way started at 8am. All I can say is I was a little apprehensive about going. However

Day two saw our group break into several groups to meet up with different people and do different things. A couple of the girls and I headed to Bridge Road for some shopping. I managed to go to the Country Road Outlet store and bought back a few things for mum and myself. At Gorman outlet I got myself a cute cardigan with bunny buttons, a fox ring and a zipper bracelet. Still a little pricely

We touched good 'ole Melbourne town at an ungodly hour of 4am, waited half an hour at the airport for our bags before catching a maxi-taxi to uptown Collins street to unload our bags then proceed onwards to wander the streets of Melbourne (seeing as we weren't able to check in!). We saw people stumbling home from a wild night while also seeing the early wakers doing their daily exercise. We

My boyfriend and I were too tired after work to really find anything remotely interesting to eat. We just wanted one that provided us with a quick and hearty meal that was close to home. Antico Caffe sits a few blocks down from my place and after flicking through the entertainment book we came across the cafe. I decided to give the place a try after, it was close by, we can walk there and it's

I have been rather bad.. but I have a perfectly resonable explanation for my absence. It was Easter. It was a very long weekend - 5 days to be exact, which is really ONE WEEK of work. ONE WEEK NO WORK HOLIDAY. It was SUBLIME! I WENT TO MELBOURNE. My annual trip. OMG that went quick. BUT.. it explains everything. I will blog about it once I have organised my photos.

An addition to my collection! It's a thousand times pretty in reality and hundred thousand times more delicate and cuter! In fact there was only ONE ring left in the store in a huge size and had to be specially ordered. That's how wanted it is.

We decided to have breakfast on a sunny warm autumn Saturday at Harvest and after spending a good 5 minutes being confused as to which end of Harvest road I should be on I managed to find the little quaint restaurant/cafe. It wasn't that I was confused as to the numbering, it was more I couldn't find Number 1. It turns out that the road is split in two with 1-5 being on the other side of Stirling

Han Palace is not the same as Hans Cafe, in fact it's the opposite of Hans Cafe. It's opposite in the sense that it's not bad asian food with bad service. The restaurant is hidden amongst other houses along Bennett street in East Perth, the only way to distinguish it the chinese style roofing and the chinese style entrance. The restaurant is not your average Chinese restaurant, it is far from

One of the most important things about and engagement party is of course the meeting of two families. Having it at a restaurant that's meaningful for both the parties (groom and bride) and then making sure the seating arrangements allow both sides of the families to socialise and get to know one another. My cousin had her's at Hans Palace, it was one of the first restaurants that she and

The Perth Food Festival has been around for a few years but it hasn't been one whole month, it's been extended from one week to one month and has now included more than just Claisbrooke and hardly anyone knowing about it. This year the Perth mayor has done a great job promoting the food festival and getting people into the city to experience foods from different cultures. Forrest Chase in the

Sunday was the perfect day to host the Northbridge William Street Festival. A street festival heralding the cultures and artistic diversity that resides in Northbridge. There were two stages that showcased an eclectic mix of local and global performance, dance, contemporary music and comedy, as well as roving performers and artisitic displays. Throughout the street there were food stalls, art

We ventured into the Imp cafe in Victoria Park one late afternoon after a long day of playing in the sun. It's a cute little cafe packed with a decent range of salads, small meals, sandwiches, cakes, teas and not-tragic coffee. On this occasion the place was packed, so it was noisy and wasn't exactly the most relaxing of cafes to just sit, chill and talk. It felt like if you sat in the cafe for

A couple of weekends ago I attended a casual afternoon high tea party at one of my work mate's place. They live close to the city, near the Mount Lawley strip, the craziness of Northbridge in an apartment/villa complex. It was absolutely gorgeous place, cosy place. She invited a few of us from work and baked us so much goodies! There were scones, rock cakes, nougat, banoffee pies, filo pastry

I can finally write about the DIY engagement invitation. A lot of thanks must go to ideas founded on artsy website of the google world and my cousin's and I relentless search of unique ideas, however the biggest things must go to AL for designing the template to ensure that the words are written on the right side of the folded up invitations.

A few friends of mine caught up for what was supposed to brunch turned to lunch as a few of us had prior appointments. I was told that seeing as I was a foodie I would enjoy Sayers' famous breakfasts, unfortunately I was unable to try that so instead I tried their other famous meal time - lunch. We decided that we will have tapas style lunch seeing as that would mean we get to taste a bit of

I love High Teas, but the only problem with them is that I don't have such a sweet tooth. I'm not saying I don't like cake, don't get me wrong, I love cake, just as long as it doesn't taste as though it's been covered and dipped in 60% glucose syrup. Anyway, I've been to the Pennisula (or The Tranby House) Tea House in Maylands and love that they keep the traditional side of things with the nice

So I've been asked by my lovely cousin Miss. O to be one of her bridesmaid. It's an honour to be one, and to be asked by her. I have had her permission to re-account my experiences at being one and what it entitles for me, especially seeing as this is my first time being a bridesmaid and I guess, you don't always get a chance to be one.

With each passing year the couples that I've known have cemented their commitment to each other and have profused their love by celebrating the wonderful ceremony that is marriage or are going to anyway (although I realise that having said that there will be a group of people who would strong object to marriage - whatever your views keep it to yourself because that's not the point of this post).

As I get older, as my friends get older, as times change, as priorities shift and games that were played at parties such as the donut string game, the chocolate dice, the apple bopping, the made up games of Captain Planet, the chaseys and hide-and-go-seek disappear and turn into one of sipping coffees in a quaint cafe, of having dinner somewhere local.

To fit in with the Australian Open that's currently occuring in Melbourne, I thought I might write about my first LIVE tennis event that I went to on a balmy Perth night. It was on a Tuesday night in January, a workmate of mine was kind enough and nice enough to give me her ticket because she was unable to go.
