Borders

The most comfortable pants in the world

by cecylia on May 11, 2010

One day as I was driving home from work, I heard an interesting debate on the radio. The radio hostess was explaining her refusal to tracksuit pants being chic. She didn’t understand the heels-with-trackies look, obviously not a fashionista, but who am I to judge?

I actually have really come to embrace the trackies with heels look. Of course not all tracksuit pants are all the same. You need to choose a decent cut, preferably one that tapers distally toward the calves.

My husband took some sneak shots of me on the phone the other day. I’m wearing these amazing Country Road pants that I saw on their catalogue. The first time I raced to the store, they didn’t have the pants yet. I went again in a few weeks, and there were only one pair left!

It was the first time I wore these pants, they were the last pair in my size in Melbourne, thank God they fit! I wore them on the plane to Paris. This bag was a recent EBay win. I really liked the colour and the weave pattern. I’m not actually wearing heels, but chic flats will do as well.

Here’s a blurred shot of the bag and my giant watch.

This is off topic, but my all time favourite food is Curry Laksa. I always feel like it and it makes me so happy, and so full. One restauranteer even named his curry laksa after me, calling it ‘Happy laksa’ because he’d never seen anyone so joyous about a bowl of noodles. Now you know why I like wearing comfortable trackies.

Breakfast on Chapel

by cecylia on January 17, 2010

I caught up with a good friend of mine as she is leaving next week to be a vet in the UK. She will be sorely missed. Who am I going to go to Borders and read endless fashion magazines with? Who will have breakfast, lunch or dinner with me upon request? Who will I dress up next? =P

We had breakfast on Chapel. I had  a New York breakfast for the first time. The creamy cheese on bagel with salmon and rocket salad was an absolute joy to my system.


The dogs wanted to come too, but they’re usually not welcome in restaurants. I wore a a Akanuke dress (vintage Japanese), with a gladiator belt, bangles from the Zurich flea market and a blue lizard skin clutch.

After brekkie, we trekked down to Borders and had our usual literary feast.

I have never seen such a well-dressed young lady working at Borders before. I begged her for a picture but silly me, forgot to ask her where her stunning neckpiece came from. I love her olive silk blouse and python shoes also.

I have walked up and down Chapel St thousands of times, but today was the first time I noticed this gorgeous building! Gotta love all the arches, Corinthian columns and eagles.

Plautus once said : “Nothing but heaven itself is better than a friend who is really a friend.” I’d say ‘amen’ to that. Have an awesome trip Jo. See you soon.
