All Things Girly

The weeks are flying past so quickly now that I’ve got so many things on hand. I’ve taken up fashion illustration night classes and I have to say, it’s one of the best decisions made. Apart from that, I’ve also joined my company’s australian touch footy team and our strategy is be the winner among the losers because we’re that bad! :razz: Anyway, I’ve been fiddling with my memory card and I realised that I have not posted these that I’ve taken a few months back! The jelly flats sure did made a few appearances before but it’s just the glossy appearance in these photos that making me wanting to show them in all its glory again. Plus, that’s my first ever piece of pyjama shorts from Peter Alexander and I got it during 50% discount sales which couldn’t make me happier! :mrgreen:

Have a good weekend and Happy Mother’s Day!

I love you mummy! :razz:

A Feminine Take

Having seen so many British inspired styles that boys don on the internet and searching religiously on the it sparked an idea of inspiration to me lately. Or shall I say, the slumbering boy character in me has finally awaken. Did I tell you that I find guys that dresses up in the British high street style are exceptionally visually pleasing? Aaaaanyway, I was looking around for pieces in my wardrobe if I could create a British Boy outfit but with a slight feminine touch just to keep things fresh! It really gives you a sense of satisfaction when you combine the common basics that you often wear on its own and make it into something entirely different and new.

Being one of the shirts that has been worn to death for its light weighted fabric and aesthetic reasons, I’ve chosen this shirt, yet again, to be part of this theme. Throw on my favourite burgundy varsity jacket over and tucked right under the shirt’s collar, BAM instant boyish charm! Don’t you think so? ;-) It probably reminds me of the 70s US diner/Grease era as well though now that I think about it! :roll:

Not wanting to take on the whole boyish charm entirely, I tone it down with a pair of brown shorts matched with a bright teal skinny belt just to brighten the whole outfit and also to add a dash of girlyness into it. :grin: Seeing how the outfit itself is already making a statement of its own, I didn’t want the accessories to steal the limelight so it was just a simple wrist strap and my favourite skull bracelets for that very day!

Here comes the crazy skipping around poles to test how far my shorts would let me stretch. Hahaha kidding! I really like the fact how simple it is to just finish the whole ensemble with a pair of brown shorts for maximum comfort without losing my style objective as well. Plus, it’s more of a substitute of the chinos you’ll commonly see the guys in Topman wearing with a denim shirt so that’s what I probably meant by taking a feminine approach to that particular style.

On a completely unrelated note, having seen this adorable sushi shop tucked in between the concrete jungle but never gotten the chance to try it, I’ve decided to head on there last week with my sister to try their interesting Cheeseburger maki! Who would have thought sushi could be so sinfully unhealthy?! :razz: But it was all balanced up with my seared salmon with sesame and sashimi with a side of edamame! Yummsss.

We even ended up heading to an art fair at Perth Cultural Center as I knew one of Joy’s illustration work is being shown there and I reallllly wanted those jellyfish balloons so badly after seeing so many children skipping around with them in the city! I have always thought there’s a man giving out but little did I know that we have to untie them ourselves! EASY! Little did I know that I was too short for the ones left hanging UGH!!! :evil: But all in all, it was definitely a day of absorbing culture and art.

What do you think of my feminine take on the boy’s style?

Breezy [Semi-outfit]

Picnics are definitely one of my favourite weekend activities to let loose or maybe it’s just the perfect excuse I could come up to binge excessively on sweet treats that you otherwise would be guilty of given on a normal day. :oops: Just on Good Friday a few weeks back, we ended up at King’s Park for yet another round of great company and food around! It was relatively cold that morning as well but as I wanted to dress up for the picnic, it’ll all be worth it to freeze while thinking you’re going to get a frost bite right smack in the city between the cold gushes of wind hahah!

Like any other times, most of us brought our own fail-safe food specialty dish and pretty cupcakes from Joy was such a hit!!! You probably can already tell by the gluttony I’ve made out of myself above. :roll: Bringing out the monopoly play cards that was tucked away for almost a year certainly roll in some fun times because I didn’t realised how fun it was till that day because I’ve never played it before HAHHAHAHAHA!! :oops: Gotta thank Kenny, Paul and Zolphie for teaching us for if it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t be so addicted to it right now everytime my girls and I meet up!

After hours of constant tummy aches from excessive laughter, we walked towards the Glass Bridge which was quite intimidating at first. And for me, with the weight of the food in my tummy from the huge picnic spread earlier certainly wasn’t doing me any good either! But alas, it’s just too pretty to put into words or even pictures to describe the view of Perth from that exact spot. :grin:

It would be such a waste if we just ended our day with just a picnic, so we’ve headed to Wagamama in Subiaco, a Japanese fusion restaurant. We were lucky that they were opened on that day as most of the cafes/restaurants weren’t open elsewhere! I wasn’t even hungry in the first place from the food earlier but I will be punishing myself if I didn’t try their chilli ramen and peking duck dumpling because it was too good to pass on! :mrgreen: So that explains the one size up in my clothes these days geezz. :evil:

Growing up silly.

Helllooooo all! You may have notice or if you hadn’t, WAKE UPPPP! that I’ve did quite a bit of a change to my blog layout because yes, I couldn’t stand seeing my faces plastered all over my header. Hey, call it signs of ageing but I guess I’m probably being vain in a much subtle way compared to when I was a teenager haha! There are still some hiccups going around as well but I guess I’ll just fix that one at a time and if you’ve noticed something that’s terribly wrong or out of place, do tell me about it!

As I’m becoming A BIGGER CHILD an adult, my sister is kicking me out hinting that I should start getting my own blog domain soon and I am really having a hard time coming up with names that will last me through a lifetime. Which means I need something suitable for all age LOL! Mind you, I have a vision that I’m going to be a cool grandmama that still hops around with a walking stick and blog about it. Yesh, I’m going to be The-Girl-Who-Blogs-at-80. Or maybe 90 just because I have a long life.

Anywayy, it’s not that I’m taking a lazy break from blogging lately but after 6 months of getting my macbook(to which I’ve intentionally bought for the iMovie HAHAHA), I’ve only decided to play with the it two days ago and this is what I came up with. It really is a funny and silly video of my family and MOSTLY me of course but I just couldn’t help smiling like a moron every time I watch it over and over again. For the 100th time now. :oops:

Enjoy!!

Nature

Having been in our Wanted-To-Go list for the longest time since last year, we’ve finally decided to head over to Toast over a weekend for the long awaited breakfast surrounded with an amazing view of pretty houses lined around the river. It certainly is a very serene place and oh how I wish i could just stay in one of the houses there!! Then it will be just a lazy walk or maybe a 10 seconds boat ride away from breakfast.

It clearly was just the perfect weather with the stream of warm sunlight piercing through the tree branches! As I was aware of the surrounding when I did my research on this place, I thought why not blend in with the nature and hence the ‘nature’ themed casual outfit! :roll: Also, that would be just the perfect excuse for me to wear this digital printed rose chiffon tee that has been sitting in my wardrobe for two months! :smile:

Enjoying a Game of Life between ourselves was just so exciting because I get to have three baby girls and two of them are twins in the game! #GIRLBABIESFTW Anddd it was my first time trying out the chai latte and it sure tasted better than I expected! Even though their breakfast might have sounded simple on the menu but it surely tasted heavenly and the presentation is just so visually pleasing! You can tell how in love we are with the place because we went back to Toast in two weeks time for another round of breakfast!! :razz:

Seeing how it’s nature theme, it would only be apt if I pair it with a pair of green skinnies to add onto the ‘green’ mood as well as my studded leopard slip ons which I would dedicate a post solely on it some time soon! I swear it’s getting more attention than me every single time I wear them out because everybody(I meant strangers!) would just stop, kneel down and start touching them like as if it’s a fluffy cat!!
-_______________-

On a side note, it was just another plain day out shopping with my girls and walking around the whole of Perth city being all touristy! Sometimes, you can learn more about a place and their culture by being a tourist instead of trying to blend in as a local! To be honest, I enjoy being a tourist in my own home country as well which to me, gives me a much more fun experience! Plus, if you feel shy, just remember that you will not be seeing the people you see on the streets after that so I’d say go have fun!! Okay unless, you see a hot guy and you’re hoping that you would see him again then. :roll: Speaking of fun, this is why you will be able to see that I would always try to put in an element or two of contrasting colours to give my outfit a pop of colour so that it would translate the fun in your outfit onto your mood. It’s a psychology thing, trust me. :roll:
