Parka Perks

This chilly winter-like weather had me glazing over cool jackets and stylish parkas on the net, with a cup of soul-soothing honey lemon green tea in hands... and that's when I found Canada Goose. As I browse along its entensive range of quality parkas and heaps of other winter accessories, none except one thought came to mind:

Who would've thought that a piece of clothing invented out of necessity by the Caribou Inuit in the Canadian Artic would now be a huge hit among the masses? 

Vantage Point

Our full day spent at Rottnest Island was nothing short of magnificent! My mates and I cycled around to explore and discover the most sublime vantage points, captured shots of pristine bays and beaches (image above was shot at Parker Point), and snorkelled in crystal clear water. It was definitely an escape we undoubtedly needed. If you're planning a trip to the amazing Rotto soon, make sure you bring your bathers, camera, lots of sunscreen lotion, fishing and snorkeling gears, contact lens cases (don't make the same mistake our friend did of losing her second eyes), and most important of all... heaps of laughter!

FROZEN KISS

Nothing like the limited edition KISS ice creams to chill our tongues off on this hot hot summer day in Australia! Can't get enough of these refreshing frozen thunderbolts blocks that consist of juicy lemonade, raspberry and cola combo. We won't be throwing away those wrappers either, just in case... because apparently a wrapper from 1980 was recently sold on ebay for over $250 and a wrapper from the 1960s Beatles ice cream was sold for $750 US! Madness.

LANEWAY

At the Laneway night markets during Fringe World Festival. Strutted around with sis, browsing a plethora of unique vintage and handmade items for sale and decided to make a photo pit stop when we came across this super vibrant graffitified wall -- the perfect backdrop to contrast the darker tones I was exhibiting: a bYSI asymmteric skirt over red leopard leggings by Junk Clothing, studded fringed bag from Dangerfield, and gold triangle earrings from Lovisa!

Feathers and Fish

First colourful week into 2013. 

Beads and feather earrings. Fish and chips and seafood platters. Antique bathroom stalls at the Fremantle railway station. Dreamcatchers. Indian cuisine at Maya Masala restaurant in the heart of Northbridge.

The One

Nothing better to amp up a sexy date night with unforgettable scent and irresistable height. So here I am, with Dolce and Gabbana The One perfume and Steve Madden wedges! See you later darlings... don't wait up ;)

Devilish

Almost fell off the chair when I saw this suede insanity among other gawk-worthy new arrivals at Aldo Shoes! Its uber loud red hue, the handsomely polished buckles, the minute yet compelling metal tip and lower heel. These ankle boots would turn heads for sure! There's absolutely nothing ordinary about it and that's just exactly how I like it.

Newly-deads

Sis and her crazy buds decided to take the term "til death do us part" to a freakier level and deliberately staged a zombie wedding in their backyard. Opting for somber, death-like mood, they dressed as mindless cannibalistic bride, groom and bridesmaid corpses in clothes bought from thrift shops (stained with fake blood) and created hideous wounds on their faces and hands with halloween makeups.

Now... I only wonder if they had eyeball cake pops and mushy brain juice to snack on in between shoots!

Alpha Models End of Year Fashion Party

Mind-blowing creations at the Alpha Models End of Year Fashion Show, featuring several local designers including Jonte, Cebiche, Wandering Girl, and Siss On Bare. Definitely couldn't say no to the hooded swimwear, bold prints, neon flare, leather works and chain accents!

By The Pool

At the Alpha Models End of Year Fashion Show held at uber breath-taking Mindarie Marina Resort. With Qais, Angie and Andre... having a blast!

Southbound Getaway

Road trip down south to Busselton and Mandurah for the day! I had such a brilliant time escaping Perth city to enjoy the countryside, seemingly endless wineries and fruit farms, longest wooden jetty in the southern hemisphere (2km out to sea from Busselton town!), amazing food at Spur restaurant in Mandurah, Sunday markets, and most of all... phenomenal time with loved ones. End of the year is just around the corner and I've got many travel plans up my sleeve. Seriously can't wait for other fabulous getaways just like this one!

Betty Tran Flagship Store Opening

Photo #2 by Fashion Spoon. Other images by Distrikmode.

At the Betty Tran Perth store opening party, where I strutted around with extra height thanks to last minute African style inspired headwrap and Steve Madden platform boots, to match painterly print Zara chiffon dress that was carelessly thrown over basic fitted tee and leggings. Must I say, I was left awestruck with Betty's latest collection that decorously centers around bold colours, asymmetric cuts and exquisite prints...

... and that uber wicked bold blue skirt?? Has my name splattered all over it.

Panther + Pink

Easily transitioning from spring to summer with this simple yet edgy layering ensemble: Ladakh leather pants, Pretty Dress frock as a vest top, Freedom leather vest, bronze accessories from Lovisa, Steve Madden platform ankle boots and vintage silk Chanel scarf. Seriously couldn't be happier with this getup before heading out to meet and greet my new clients today!
