Chillaxing. Tonight I will be reading this month's issue of Vogue and popping in "Lincoln" into the DVD player!

The cherry blossoms are in bloom over here and I spent the morning barefoot (a first in a while!) on my deck. Finally it's here!

I've finally finished watching all six seasons of SATC and I know I'm really late on the train for this but I'm officially OBSESSED with the Fendi Baguette bag. This is going to be one seriously expensive obsession. I had no idea that there were so many designs originating from good old 1997. Don't get me started on the mini-baguette versions...

Yay, it's late August already and that means various September issues of Vogue will be popping up on the magazine stands. I desperately need a fresh dose of inspiration! And fashion week is starting soon- getting excited.

This bubblegum lipscrub totally smells like fizzy pink lemonade, it's sooo yummy. I just bought it today and the colour and smell inspired me to put together this mini collage of current must-haves in addition to some others on the wishlist. I also found the perfect nude lipstick at David Jones! Originally I had it in a lip palette and I didn't know it was available in an individual tube as well. I've been using it quite regularly because it looks great on my lips- not too washed out/doesn't make me look sick. It's taken me ages to find the proper nude shade for myself so I'm super happy about that. I nearly gave up my search after a few disastrous attempts at the MAC counter in Seoul.

 Don't they all look fabulous?

currently on my mind

Balmain jumper (love the gold accents!)

Oroton Hobo bag
Choies military cap

Marc Jacobs Beauty Lip Vinyl in Sheer

Dolce & Gabbana skinny leg jeans

Charlotte Olympia black leather ankle boots

This outfit has been circulating in my head for the last two weeks and it's about time that I put it on the computer as a blog posting. I've got hobo bags on my mind plus I'd get the jumper a size up for a baggier look and probably scrunch my day-old hair à la Gisele.

 

monday chills

When I saw these pictures of Kimberley Gordon's home I definitely had one of those I-wish-my-house-was-like-that moments.

Today we're having really crappy weather in Canberra so I will be drinking copious amounts of coffee and watching Sex and the City again. I'm halfway into season 4 at the moment but am starting to lose interest in the plot line...does it perk up soon?

P.S. And the Topshop Sydney store was just FABULOUS.

I didn't look into any of the suburbs while I was in Sydney this time around. There was just a lot of meandering about in the CBD area because I missed being smack bang in the middle of a crowded city. There was definitely some eating, bar hopping, sightseeing (of course) and enjoying the mild weather. And maybe, a teeny weeny amount of shopping.
