Melbourne photo diary.

1. Dinner at Gingerboy; Food and ambience of the restaurant was great! A must try is the son in law eggs, they're so very yummy and uniquely made for people that love eggs. It started pouring as we left the restaurant so had to cab it to Crown casino. Nothing special at Crown, but it's definitely more grand than The Star. 
2. Hosier Lane aka graffiti lane; this is a pretty bad photo considering my eyes are closed and all, but the composition of it looks pretty nice with the zig zag stairs in the background.
3. Flinders Street Station; Public transport in Melbourne was surprisingly easy use. Trains in particular was pretty straightforward and arrived more frequently than ones in Sydney. Trams however did get a bit confusing for me but then I figured out that they only operate in a straight line. 
4. Federation Square; those grass cubes are so cute! Visited the ACMI to check out a few exhibitions. 
5. Melbourne Central; I think everyone that visits Melbourne will take a photo similar to this. It is pretty cool but didn't linger around Melbourne Central for too long as most of the shops there weren't that great. I did however try Lord of the Fries there and it was pretty decent. 
6. Dinner at Cutler & Co; The food was pretty spectacular but too bad I was bloated from drinking too much cider! I loved the chocolate and salted caramel icecream sandwich though, all my favourite things in one dish. Photo also features my $6 Hello Kitty wannabe iPhone case from eBay that ripped :( so sad, now I have to find a replacement. 
7. Brunch at Hardware Societe; The tiny pan in which my scrabbled eggs was in is just too cute!
8. I actually forgot where this is but it's the park near Melbourne Museum. The exhibitions at Melbourne Museum were interesting but I was so horrified at the bugs and insects section where they had a cabinet full of cockroaches and spiders and all the crawly things I hate. 
9. Dinner at Movida Aqui; Food was mediocre, nothing to rave about. I did enjoy the potato balls featured in the picture, but then again I like all things made out of potato.
10. Royal Arcade; Being touristy and taking photos around Bourke St and GPO.
11. Eureka Skydeck; The views at night of Melbourne is breathtaking! I'm a bit too happy looking posing with my Ben & Jerry icecream featuring night view of Melbourne in the background.
12. Topshop; I was so excited going into Topshop, I swear I spent half my Melbourne trip inside Topshop browsing and trying on items. I found prices overall to be pretty decent but it's definitely a bit more pricier than the website but they do offer 10% off for students. The sales staff informed me that the Sydney Topshop is due to open in August 2012 and it'll be 3 levels, so much bigger than the Melbourne store which is only 1 level. 

Lastly for those of you that are looking for the Alexander Wang Rocco with rosegold hardware, it is now back in stock on Shopbop and they also have the Diego in rosegold too!

Karen Walker Tee and Pants, Urban Outfitters Blazer, Zara Heels, A Wang Rocco, YSL Ring

What I wore yesterday to dinner with A. I've been so caught up with work these days that I haven't had time to blog or take outfit photos. So excited to be going on roadtrip with the girls and a shopping trip to Melbourne soon in a few weeks. 

Anyways I'm clearing out my wardrobe to make room for new things and so I've listed quite a few items on eBay. Feel free to check it out here.

YSL Essaouira Clogs

Went to the Luisa sale at Hilton with C yesterday and it was a little better than expected. C managed to resist the temptation of purchasing a very affordable pair of MiuMiu pumps while I gave in and purchased these YSL clogs... Now it's time to dig out things to wear with them!

Jeffrey Campbell Resort 2012

My love affair with JC shoes first started when I came across the Pixie wedges during my Hong Kong trip. Here's a look at the new JC resort collection titled A Love Affair with Los Angeles. Everything is signature JC featuring sky high heels and platforms, bright colours and funky designs. Jeffrey Campbell recently collaborated with New Zealand designer Stolen Girlfriends Club to create the Emma Ankle Boot which is featured in Stolen Girlfriends Club's lookbook for their SS11/12 collection. Here's a picture of below from SGC's lookbook, it's styled with the cutest floral tee and high waisted demin shorts.

My all time favourite JC design is Skate. I'm really regretting not ordering it when they had my size in stock in the nude, now it's sold out everywhere. Even though I can't ice skate, but with these JC Skate's I'll be able to skate whilst walking! Why can't you be mine?

YSL arty dots ring with black, gold and ivory beads

Seeing as I have an exam tomorrow and definitely should be studying... I couldn't help but want to post about a new addition to my ring collection! I caved into using my 50 pound NAP voucher to purchase the YSL arty dots ring only to find that it didn't work... Luckily NAP's exceptional customer service team helped me put through my order and despite the line cutting off several times, they rang me immediately again! Now that it was I call customer service :)

Minty Meets Munt shirt, Lover shorts, Unknown cardigan, Ferragamo shoes, YSL clutch 

Today consisted of a fail study session at my local library and a nice long dinner and dessert with J, where we talked about people we would or would not date. I find that whenever I go to restaurants I always order the same dishes. Say for tonight, we had Thai and as usual we ordered our default chicken pad see yew and massaman beef curry. I'm not sure why we never order anything different, maybe it's because we don't like to deviate from the norm. The waffles with strawberry and white chocolate was delish but I think the ones we make at M's house comes pretty damn close - ice magic does the trick. 

Anyways, I've been on a hunt for nice comfortable flats for everyday and was advised by a customer yesterday to try Bloch ballet flats. I've read lots of positive reviews on Bloch from Vogue but never had the time to physically go to a Bloch store to try it. Hopefully they will have the right shade of nude when I eventually decide to pay it a visit...

Unif top, Karen Walker pants, Ellery x Graz sunglasses, Melissa shoes, Marc by Marc Jacobs tote, YSL ring

This week has been way too overwhelming with presentations and exams none stop. I'm glad that it's over but unfortunately for me, it will be like this again in a few weeks time. 

Last week was Vogue Fashion Night Out and I participated by watching customers drink complimentary champagne and munch on canapes by Aria. I was quite disappointed because I couldn't shop around and had work instead. However, the highlight of my night was meeting Margaret from Shine by Three, it was lovely having chat with her. 

On a side note, the much anticipated ASOS Australia has landed! It's essentially the same site but prices are in AUD and there are free returns for Aussie customers!
