OK before you think I had that kind of cash to burn. Stop and read:
A few weeks ago I had really a full-on day. I got up early to head to South Melbourne for some personal shopping with clients who had won a major competition. They got $2500 to spend at anywhere they like in South Melbourne and they had a chaperone, a stylist, moi. This couple was lovely, they spent most of their wins on their future wedding! And right before Christmas! I can’t think of a better time to win money! And guess what? They spent it in one hour! What a record!
I love doing personal shopping. I do it a lot for friends when I have free time. In fact since I was young many have told me that I should be a personal shopper, because of my adoration of shopping and my magpie eyes at scouting out lovely things but I didn’t realise back then that it was a real profession…
Anyhoo, this is not a public resume, I actually wanted to share some photos from my cousin’s engagement party, which I attended afterwards. That night I also attended a runway show…you’ll have to wait for the next post to see all the pictures.
This is the most professional gear I could dig out of my wardrobe- vintage tuxedo shirt, tweed jacket and my new Alldlressedup pants which I refuse to take off, and my Miu Miu patent courts. The jewellery should look familiar to you- Mawi Dynamite necklace, Damselfly ring (ok this is a newie) and my big mamma vintage watch. This watch keeps me away from being late.
There was so much food, this is the dessert. The future-groom baked 6 apple pies! Pavlovas and brownies also satiated our sweet teeth. Luckily I wore loose clothing so I could have thirds =P But I still couldn’t help myself when I saw these carved fruit…
It was a big family day out, so kids ran between our legs. As you know, I’m a lover of all things cute and beautiful, that’s why this hand-knitted zebra toy didn’t escape my little eyes…
So in love with these pants, they are the most flattering and comfortable pants I own, even better than these...
You are the apple of my eye.
Happy New Year everyone! Are you pumped about 2011?

I see my blogger friends’ take such amazing photos- they all dress well and they all pose well! When I re-evaluate my blog posts, I realise that my poses are so ordinary. For some reason, I freeze in front of the camera. I tend to only be myself when there’s hip hop music around :)
I’ve been really inspired by my beautiful friend Jess’ blog to try and improve my poses…so here are a few…of course any excuse to show off my blue patent Pauric Sweeney bag…
This is the ‘Shopping-Lady’ look, tote on wrist, hips forward and a nonchalant smile.
This is the ‘Wind-in-my-hair’ look – my fringe is also doubling as an eye patch. AARRGGHH!
This is the ‘I-finally-loosened-up-a-little’ look, or the ‘Shopping-lady’ look crossed with ‘I-just-found-some-serious-loot’ look.
Here’s a close-up of my beloved bag. Yes, you can perve all you like. You can find more Pauric Sweeney bags on sale at The Outnet, Net-a-Porter, Luisaviaroma or at Christine. I love the Irish architect-turned designer’s unique designs. The patent leather on this bag is unbelievably soft.
This is the ‘I’m-a-rebel’ look , standing next to a ‘No Standing’ sign. I’m wearing a vintage nude blouse, vintage gold brass belt, Tibi silk skirt (from The Outnet), Omero tights from Cecylia, Felder Felder cardigan/jacket, Pauric Sweeney bag, vintage patent leather heels and velvet scarf gifted by the lovely Evane.
The Tibi (one of the hottest contemporary US labels founded by Amy Smilovic) skirt deserves special mention. They are actually too big, surprise surprise, it’s from the Outnet, after all. I love it nevertheless as it has shorts underneath so I can run, jump and dance in them without hindrance!
Lights, camera, action!
I will work on my poses and hopefully loosen up more at the next post =) Have you bought anything from Online where the size didn’t fit?
Love

The Sacre Coeur Basilica is the beautiful white Roman Catholic church situated on top of the Montmartre hill, named because many Christians were martyred there. This is the second time I have visited the church made from travertine stones. This stone constantly exudes calcite, which ensures that the basilica remains white even with weathering and pollution. Last time I came, it was summer and I wore a silk dress and carried around my Nici soft toy ‘Wolfgang’ – a wolf dressed in sheep’s clothing.
Standing outside the ornate copper door with the inscription I’m guessing is ‘The most sacred heart of Jesus’? Perhaps the white church reflects the holiness of God.
Last time I came I didn’t go to the very top so here I am! It was so cold, my cheeks are so red.
We walked up 300 steps to reach the top of the church. The view was breath-taking. Paris, even though was freezing, was still the most beautiful and romantic city in the world.
I found some graffiti.
Wearing a vintage cardigan, top and booties, Dr. Denim jeans and Pauric Sweeney bag. I brought these fun jeans along because in Melbourne, I could only wear it with a plain T shirt. I love Paris, you don’t need to think twice about dressing up.
