As summer is approaching, I bought my first pair of sandals for this year – the timeless YSL Tribute Patent Sandal (bought here!). Love the tannish nude color as it looks very versatile all year round. Although the heels are pretty high, the comfort has surpassed my expectations. I can walk in them for hours without grimacing. Despite the gorgeous look of them and the “Made-in Italy” stamp – which is rare as there are more prestige fashion houses moving their manufacturing to China lately (*cough* Burberry..Prada..), the practicality of these shoes are definitely worth the high price tag! And now I totally understand why people collect them in multiple colors – it’s an addiction with YSL Tribute!

It is my weekly haul time again! Along with the JZ mini cross necklace, I also ordered the Jennifer Zeuner Medium Swirly Initial Necklace (link here) in 14k gold plated before I went on holiday. It is a hand-made personalized necklace which requires a custom order and takes about 4-6 weeks. And it finally safely arrived at my door. Long wait but totally worth it as I’m already loving it to bits! I always wanted a necklace with my initials on, and after checking out several brands which does this I decided to go with the Jennifer Zeuner. I like the style and the size of the pendant, and find that JZ jewellery generally lasts a long time without tarnishing/fading. Not to mention that I spotted one of my celebrities Giuliana Rancic who has been wearing this necklace consistently. Have I ever mentioned that I saw her when I was in LA? Her friendly and down-to-earth charisma completely swept me off my feet after speaking to her briefly 🙂

Before I left Australia for a summer holiday in Europe, I wanted to get myself a dainty and delicate necklace that I can wear everyday with any outfit. And the first one that popped in my head was the Jennifer Zeuner Mini Horizontal Cross necklace in 14 karat gold (link here). I know many of you have seen this one as it’s been very popular with many celebs and bloggers. But it’s such a classic and cult design by JZ, and it’s affordable and practical, so I have finally jumped on the bandwagon 🙂 Been wearing it everyday since.

Never imagined myself to be in sneakers other than being in the gym. The ASH Cool Wedge Sneakers (bought here) has completely changed my view of sneakers – they are uber chic, and add a casual and edgy vibe to my normal everyday outfit. I am completely in love with them and now I want them in black and suede as well! The high street shoes shops are flooded with wedge sneakers lately, and upon “inspection” I am very grateful with this purchase as the Ash are much better made and look more expensive than the others I have seen. Love love!!

It’s the beginning of a new financial year! which means it is the time that I allow myself to shop without thinking about my yearly budget, until I get a heart attack half way through the year then start to count every cent 😛 Anyhow I have been eyeing these sunnies for so long. The Prada Baroque (bought here) is a must-have – it’s the perfect accessory to instantly make you look glam and chic . Also loving the super over-sized cat frame of the Gucci Retro Cat Eye Sunglasses – they fit perfectly on my meaty face. I had tried them on at David Jones which retails for AUD$460, and they just listed on shopbop (also available here) a lot cheaper so I took the deal.

I am a blazer junkie, I have them in every color of the rainbow. The Rag & Bone Sliver Blazer (bought here) is the latest addition to my family. This is also my first Rag and Bone piece – this brand has been on my radar for a long time as I love anything that is classic, effortless with a modern and sporty spin. The tailor of this blazer is perfection, it fits me so well and it looks timeless with an edge. LOVE IT!

I’ve been searching for a set of perfect bangles for the longest time – it may sound quite a simple task as they are sold almost everywhere, but I am picky. I don’t want anything that looks too cheap, while on the other hand I am a little reluctant to fork out on some bangles that would cost me an arm and a leg (of course if I had the endless cash to spare, I wouldn’t mind having an armful of Cartier love bangles). Right now the CC Skye Lyrics Bangles (bought here) are just perfect for me, you know you picked something uber cool when you receive tons of compliments on it 🙂
Hope you all have a good weekend!

My new Alexander Wang Booties have my pulse racing!
As vain as it may sound, my everyday routine involves checking out the new arrivals on Shopbop and Net-A-Porter and lusting over those amazing pieces. These Alexander Wang Andi Woven Platform Booties was on my wishlist ever since they were released, and I finally took the plunge and ordered the pair on Shopbop (I am picky with shoes so I have never bought shoes online.) They turned out to be exactly what I expected – classic with an edge, chic and goes with everything, and most importantly they are comfortable! The heel size is 10cm which is the highest I can go without falling over.
I bought these at full price, and damn you Shopbop! They are on sale now! For your reference I am an Australian shoe size 36.5, and I bought the pair in US 36.5 but they run a little large for me. So for the Aussie ladies I suggest you to go half a size down for Alexander Wang Shoes.
