Another year older but none the wiser.

Welcome to my Birthday party! It was a crappy weekend weather-wise (as it always is on my Birthday) but no winds or rain or hail (or drunk footy-fans after the Grand Final) could stop me from painting the town red! My house was the staging area, where everyone met to share some Champagne, nibbles and cake.

My Birthday Cake: Chocolate Mousse Cake from The Cheesecake Shop.
If the candles say ^that's my age - then that's my age! And no, it's not mispelt,
that's how Mr. Pre spells "Sweetie" :). (The dips were for the chips not the cake, don't worry.)
Nibbles: Chips, crackers, dip and the pink, yellow and peach stuff is Sushi!
Don't those colours look great! 
I found a Groupon Voucher for limo hire (you know it, I can sniff a bargain from a mile away) and I couldn't resist ! So we drove to the city in a 10-seater Porsche Cayenne!
More Champers!
My Neon Pink Heels glowing in the LED lights on the limo-floor
It was G-L-A-M all the way! My friend HB got us into the VIP section at Fusion in Crown. Thanks for that, HB. You are the man!
This was our view from our very own private balcony!

* = sale prices

The other fluoro bracelet on my left hand is the one we got at the club as the VIP access pass - trendy huh!

On Sunday, it was still cold but sunny, perfect day for a drive to the Dandenong Ranges. We had lunch in Olinda and Hot Chocolate at Skyhigh, Mt. Dandenong.

See Melbourne CBD in the distance?
All in all, a great Birthday Weekend! A BIG THANK YOU to all those who made it so special!

Latest Obsessions

I've recently come across photos of the Elie Saab Fall 2012 Couture Collection and I am IN LOVE! Its ALL I can think about, so I just had to share it.... 

  









"Dreamy", "Ethereal", "Elegant" were just some of the words used to describe this Collection inspired by the Byzantine Empire. I'll definitely keep these red-carpet-ready dresses in mind the next time I'm going to the Oscars ;).

In the meantime, the things I'm taking away from this collection for my day-job are the soft fabrics, the colours and the detailing alongwith the hair and makeup-styles.

Speaking of obsessions, another one of my latest has been a fluoro necklace I bought from Forever New but when I got home found it was broken, when I went to exchange it it was sold out. On my hunt for a fluoro necklace, that lasted for weeks, I came across this Zara necklace on eBay (which was almost exactly what I was looking for). After 3 weeks of waiting, it finally arrived on Friday so I'm a happy-little-vegemite :D.
Not the best price I've paid for a necklace, but for something I've wanted so much and have had such trouble finding, I was happy to spend around $38 all up since its such a versatile, on-trend piece.

I wore it today to work with this Zara Printed Crossover Dress...

Accessorising, accessorising we must do our accessorising...

...well! Accessories make or break an outfit - everyone knows that! Some of my accessorising inspirations from here-there-and-everwhere:

Love chunky necklaces!
Never thought I'd be into Neon/Fluoro - but I SO AM!
Colour-blocking isn't just a summer trend!!
Brooches and waist-belts for added glam on work outfits
Bright bag+neutral outfit=GENIUS!
Walk-all-over boots!
Statement bag, shoes, scarf and oooh hair!
With accessories like these all you need is a white tee and blue jeans!
Classic, timeless pieces.


Keep your hands warm...
Digging all her accessories!
Another statement necklace.
Simple and chic.
Some more timeless pieces.

Love the clutch and shoes (but is it wrong, I WANT those pants, too?!!)
What are some of your favourite/staple accessories??....
