I am always in a silk blouse paired with an A-line skirt for work. I have tons of them and they are easy to mix and match. I work in a conservative corporate environment so I find that such a look is work appropriate whilst letting me add a touch of fashion.

Fresh off the plane from Paris! Self gifted myself a new Chanel Bag – the Reissue 2.55 Medium in Iridescent Calfskin from the Fall 2011 Collection.
Chanel has recently revamped their box and dust bag for their classic styles. Love the new design, especially the dust bag with Coco Chanel Print on it. According to my Chanel SA in Sydney, the new box and the dust bag will only apply to the classic styles and due to arrive in Australia within a few weeks time.
My new beloved Chanel 2.55 Reissue Medium in iridescent calfskin (seasonal finish). The finish is very fall to me, almost like a metallic suede. The Chanel website currently features this bag in dark purple.
I know many of you are interested to know the price of Chanel in France and how much exactly we can save compared to other countries.
The reissue 2.55 medium size in seasonal finishes such as patent, metallic and iridescent calfskin retails for $ 3110 Euro, that is equivalent to $4291.00 AUD. After VAT return it is Euro 2750, that is equivalent to $3800 AUD. In Australia this bag retails for $5080.
The reissue 2.55 medium size in its classic finish (the vintage lambskin) retails for $2700 Euro. In Australia it retails for appropriately $4800.

My new boots, Loving it!
I did a massive clothing haul during this weekend. I have been reading magazines and checking out all the fabulous bloggers for winter fashion which boosted my mood to go shopping! I am one of those girls who like to update my wardrobe every season – just to add a few key pieces of clothing of the season but still classy enough to be worn in the future. There are still a few key pieces I want to buy such as leather skirt, cashmere sweater, a military jacket..the list goes on and on..
So here is what I bought so far for this winter, these are the Australian high street brands I always go for , they are well made with quality materials.
From their latest arrivals:
Some pictures of OOTD over the weekend. I wore the new boots for the whole day and they were soooo comfortable.

The FOTD and OOTD were from yesterday. I had a wonderful time celebrating a special occasion with my family at an amazing Restaurant – the Quay. I basically wear the same makeup to work everyday, so special occasions like this allow me to have more fun with my makeups. I decided to use my new Nars eyeshadow palette (reviewed here), the rest were chosen to complement the eye look.
Finished Look
I was bored with my fringe, so I pinned my fringe back for the night.
Face Products Used:
Face: Guerlain Radiance concentrate with Pure Gold Makeup Base was applied before the Becca Luminous Skin Colour foundation.
Cheeks: Nars the Multiple Tint in Turks & Caicos layered with Nars Blush in Luster.
Highlight: Shiseido Natural Finish Cream Concealer to highlight my under eye areas, then set it with Benefit powerflage . Shu Uemura Glow as highlighter on my cheekbones and nose bridge.
Note* to my dear reader who has requested for a review of Guerlain Radiance makeup base, I promise it is coming up soon!
Eyes and Lips:
Eyes: Primed my eyes with Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base. Nars Silk Road was applied all over my eyelids, then Nars Brumes was applied along my upper and lower lash lines. Koji Ultrafine was used to do the winged out eyeliner look, then finish it with falsies and Fairy Drop volumising mascara on my lower lashes.
Lips: Nars Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil in Hopi
False Eyelashes Used: my favorite style now!
Closer look at the lashes:
The weather has been so cold lately, I just wanted to cocoon myself inside my soft quilt. I rely on my Jill Stuart coat that has brought warmth to me in the winters.
