LV Leopard Scarf Gris! Woooo!

Hello!
The weather is so nice in Perth today. I walked around in a cardigan - in WINTER!
Perth has "winter" Melbourne has winter.
Hahahhaa.
It's been really cold all week and now that I go back tomorrow its going to be 23. Clearly, Mother Nature hates me.
I've suspected this for a while now but I think this week confirmed it.
I'm trying to think of the farmers. Farmers need the rain. Yesss.

Anyway, HERE IS MY NEW SCARF. hsdlfkjsldfiosudf. yessssssss.
It was a pain in the ass to get. Got less than average service from some people at LV.
Ughhh. Went on a goose chase around Melbourne.
Only to have it repeated again the next week trying to get D a tie. Not so happy with them lately. Although, I met a lovely LV SA in Perth called Kate though. If Perth people are looking for a nice SA that doesn't act snooty then go see her.
Anyway,
I got this new leopard scarf in black and greeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
JUST IN TIME FOR SUMMER. hahahaha.
It's still cold in Melbourne so I will get wear out of it.



I have to make this quick because a friend is on their way to town to meet for a coffee.
Here is a close up of the scarf print.
There is this awful hot pink graffiti style LOUIS VUITTON in the SS style writing on the bottom. Which I like to tuck on the inside.



LOOK AT THIS PHOTO.
I took this on accident but I'm sure glad I did.
In this angle I look about 10kg skinnier.
I AM KEEPING IT FOREVER. I will show my kids this photo and say " Your mum had some nice pins"
HA. They wont buy it.
However. I am going to try and take all photos on this angle from now on.



On Ds Bday we went to 1907 in Perth.
It was nice. I think the place is called 1907 because the building was built in 1907.

I wore this Elizabeth & James top that I have posted before.
LOOK AT MY EYEBROWS.
I got THREADING. It was pretty terrifying.
I'm still unsure about threading. I feel like she took nearly all my eyebrows off.
I had hardly any to begin with. Now even less!

This dish below was some sort of artichoke risotto with parmesan snap and roasted whole artichoke.
My fav dish was the first one which was a soup. No photo :( booo.



Here is some vegetables arranged all arty.
I like these type of dishes.
Call me boring, but I like plain vegetables. I think they taste nice. No need for over saucing.
It's my British blood taking over my taste buds!



Here was some sort of tortellini. Cant remember the filling. But I remember thinking I'd like another 10 on the plate so it can be a real dinner.
Hahaha. It was nice.



Mushroom gnocchi with truffle.
I have to say, I DONT like truffle.
I think it tastes like dirt.
I don't understand why people go nuts for it.
It's very meh to me.



Here was some dessert.
The fairy floss was nice. I think the ice-cream was maybe mango.
I have no idea why they served baklava. That was my only real dislike of the night.
BAKLAVA? COMON.
I just feel like this isn't something you serve at a restaurant that isn't greek.
It's too easy/cheap of a dessert.
It's something yiayia makes and you eat it to make her happy.
It's not a degustation dessert.



There were other dishes but I didn't take photos of all of them.
I also didn't take a photo of inside the place so here is some photos I got from their website.
I like the horse.



Overall we enjoyed the evening. The degustation is LONG. We were there for 4+ hours. Zzzz
But you can just order entrées mains etc for a quicker dinner.
Here is the website for you Perth peeps.

Here is a photo from the other day down on Hay st.
I love this statue.
It's the best.
I wear this Kookai dress when I feel fat. Which is often.
I wore this cardigan from Topshop again and frumped around Perth feeling fat and sorry for myself.
Yay.



Today D and I had pizzas for lunch. They looked nice so I took some photos.
Yummmmmmmmmmmm





This isn't relevant to this post but I wanted to share.
I bought this Philosophy kit a few weeks back from Mecca.
I really liked it.
It did give me a pimple on my lip but I think that was my fault. I dunno. But my skin looked and felt v nice.



The other week D looked like a zombie. Or someone who hadn't slept in a week ( highly likely).
I forced him to do this. He acted like such a baby but then after his skin looked so much nicer. More fresh looking and less zombie looking.
He claims it has a "BURNY" feeling.
But the beauty therapists call this "warming sensation"
Anyway, I thought I would post about my experience for those girls who like to exfoliate their face.
I think because it has a 2 step process and has the warming feeling, you feel like it does something more. Haha. How silly. I dunno.
But when I had some professional facials it had the same kind of effect and feeling.
So I feel I'm doing a bit of a DIY at home facial for a quarter of the price.

Ok MUST go.
No time for proof read.
I hope this post made sense.
Eeeek!!
Have a lovely weekend guys!!
:)

I never know what to title my posts.

Hello ~!!!!!!!

Happy Mondayyyyyy!! If you were in Melbourne, did you like the weather today? It was almost spring like. The sun came out and I hardly recognised it.

Here is some photos of our dinner to celebrate finishing the detox. HAHAHA.
Does my skin look glowing like they promised?
It's probably just the three layers of concealer + foundation.
I look damn huge in this photo. My head is about double the size of Ds. But who cares because my hair looks big. BIG. I spend a good amount of time trying to get big hair. YAY
Here we are having those amazing Raspberry & Hazelnut Martinis.
Yum. Nothing enhances your post detox glow like vodka.
Hahaha.



Here is one of my fav dishes again. The cold tofu with soy and sesame and chives.
It's so nice.
On the left, friend K is having the Yellowtail Sashimi.



Here is my second favourite Nobu dish. Anti-Cucho tofu skewers.
So nice and spicy!



We asked the waitress to choose four different cocktails for the table and one of them was this chilli thing.
It was SO DAMN HOT. omggeee.
Not normal. I think I can handle chilli pretty well but this was off the chain.
Hotter than nandos extra hot peri peri sauce.
Wahhh!!
I have a feeling my friend A and her chili loving Malaysian background family will love this drink though.
You can see K in the background with her cool skull necklace.



After dinner we went and saw Inception.
HAVE YOU GUYS SEEN IT? I'm thinking YES because it seems the whole world has.
What did you think?
My feelings are capture in this photo below.



SNORE.
I thought it reeked. It was so predictable and bleugh.
When was it supposed to blow my mind?
OOooohhhhh loooookkk the spinny thing kept spinning. ughhh. OK.
Let me just say, Ashton Kutcher's Butterfly Effect had a bigger effect on me.
Actually, THE TRUMAN SHOW WITH JIM CARREY HAD A BIGGER EFFECT.
For a good few months, I was PARANOID that I was on the Truman Show. Then I realised how bored everyone would be watching my life and snapped out of that delusion.
Plus was I supposed to take Juno seriously as a genius student?
It's JUNO!

After the movie, I found this little creature.
I wonder who put him down stairs? HA HA HA HA *looking at someone*
heheheheeeee
How boozey do I look?
Pretty sure I was sober.
But you can kind of see my outfit here!
YAY
Can you see my newish Sass&Bide skirt. Its got some nice detailing down the front.
I pretty much can't breathe in it.



D and I went to Ikea the other day to get a rug and I found D riding this carpet as if he was Aladdin. Thank the lords above I had my camera in bag.
I wonder if he does these things when I'm not with him and he is alone?
I'm thinking YES.



I found this photo of my luggage tags on my SD card.
Isn't it the BEST ?!
NO one will steal my luggage with this on it. Especially a dude.
Once someone took my suitcase of the belt and walked off with it and I chased him and argued it was mine. Eventually he gave it up. But made me paranoid about having plain black suitcases. Anyone can accidently take it !



Because my blog hasn't had any outfit posts lately, I just took this quick pic of what I'm wearing now.
Pretty plain!



Topshop cardigan
S&B tee
Topshop Skirt
LV scarf
I think my ring was from Gen Pants but could of been Sportsgirl? eek!
OPI Lincoln Park After Dark on the nails.

Yiiiieee!!!
I best be go.
I am running late.
This ended up taking ages.
NEW True Blood and Entourage tonight.
YAY!

Urban Remedy Cleanse Results + Sass&Bide tee + jewellery

Woo!
BUSY week.
I have finished the Urban Remedy cleanse!! Let me say. I DID NOT CHEAT ONCE!
WOO!!
I didn't even have the "okay foods" (celery, cucumber, lettuce)
Nudda. I am v proud.
I can honestly say I didn't get hungry ONCE. I just missed the smell/taste/process of eating. I realised how much I thought about food though. I plan a lot of my day around food. Interesting.

I have to say on Day 2 and Day 3, I REALLY struggled with Juice 3. It's really quite horrid. I only had 2/3 of the bottle on Day 2 and D forced me finish it on Day 3. It's just hard to drink.
Juice 6 really tastes like something that should be slapped on my face at a day spa.

I forgot to take photos of the juices. Dang. Every lunch time I'd remember but then get home and forget!
But here is a photo of the little cooler bag they give you to carry your juices around in !



Okay.
SO
I weighed myself on the morning of Day 1 and the morning after Day 3.
I know you all want to know the numbers.
I lost 3.4kg
I don't know if thats a good thing or bad thing.
Did it mean I was carry a lot of fluids in myself that got flushed out with all the drinking?
Cuz it surely isn't any fat loss.
I did work out during the cleanse though. So perhaps I lost 1kg of real fat? Only time will tell.
I wonder if I would of lost the same if I didn't work out? Probs not.
I also did dry brushing and had 1x 1hr body massage and 1 x 1hr reflexology and shoulder massage.
My skin looks brighter according to D but I dunno.
I think my stomach is a bit flatter.
It's odd that I didn't experience any symptoms as well. I dunno whether that meant I was healthy or my body wasn't flushing toxins. I have no idea.
Oh well. I feel proud for finishing it !!

Here is a couple of photos of some recent buys!
Here is the new cut tee from the "Tomorrow the Great" collection from Sass&Bide.
I like this cut. I told myself I wouldn't buy anymore S&B tees but it didn't seem to last long.
I'm not so sure about this colour of tee. I think it looks a bit "I washed my white tee with my black tee" but D liked it, so I thought I'd give colour a chance!
I like the hemming at the bottom.


Lately I've been really liking S&B jewellery collection.
Here is a a necklace I got..



And a close up of them all...
I couldn't get a good shot of the talon ring because it doesn't stand up on it's on.
My camera didn't want to play focus today either.



I thought I'd share my skin care stuff too.
A few months ago I started using Perricone MD Cold Plasma range and I really love it!
To be honest the smell is OFF but I'm hoping no one comes that close to notice.
*mask with perfume* haha.
This is the ONLY product I've ever used that I've noticed results within 3 days.
My skin just feels smoother and the tone of my skin seems more even. I think I looked fresher. Whatever that is. My skin looks less manky and dry.
You use the cold plasma under your normal daily moisturiser. I use Clinique DDML and it works really well together.



Look at these weird roses I got for home.
Weird huh? I wonder if they grew like this or if they put some sort of dye through a white rose? I have no idea about this sort of thing.
Do pink and white roses growing next to each other kind of "breed" ? HAHA
I dunno. Rose Sex. Hahahaaaaaaaaaaaa.



And a last but not least, my IPAD!!!
YAY. I'm pretty sure I forgot to blog about this.
I was in Perth on the day they came out and I wasn't planning on getting one. The lines were CRAY CRAY in Melbs and Sydney.
At about 3.30pm I was on Hay St and thought I'd go take a look in DJs at the display ones.
Well. I am a sucker because 5 mins later I was swiping my CC and saying "gimme gimme"
No Lines...Nothing!! Thank you PERTH!



Anyway, I am obsessed with playing Words With Friends on my iPad.
My user name is Ninibeee.
Add me and we can play faux scrabble!!!
Tell me who you are from here though so I know your not some random dude who sending me weird pervy msgs. *block*

Okay I must be off!
I really CBF proof reading this post so if it is full of bad grammar and spelling mistakes, please forgive me!!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
:)

Urban Remedy Cleanse : Day 1




YAY! I survived day 1.

I was pretty scared on Tuesday night. Thinking "Why the hell am I doing this?"
I wanted to binge so badly but refrained.
It was just instinct to eat 3 days worth of food!!!

OK so

JUICE 1 :
Apple, Lemon, Cos Lettuce, Celery, Silverbeet, Parsley, Cucumber.
This juice tasted very "detoxy" something I wouldn't choose to drink but tasted like some sort of healthy juice. Ha. I can pick up more on the celery and parsley in this juice than the other flavours. I wish they had used continental parsley instead of regular parsley. Then it might taste like some yummy tabouleh juice!! OOOH YEH! Some nice tabouleh juice for breakfast.
The first juice took me about 30mins to drink because I was excited about starting detox.

JUICE 2 :
Pinapple, Apple, Mint. This sounds delicious!! It's pretty much tastes just like straight up pineapple juice though. I can't taste the mint at all ! I wish they went heavy on the mint so then I could pretend it was a mojito and i was back at Cafe Del Mar in Ibiza.
Maybe I can add extra mint? That would be nice!
I might email them and ask them!!
Surely that would be okay to add fresh mint leaves? Because I can drink peppermint tea.
I'm excited by this.

JUICE 3 :
Orange, Acai Berry, Cucumber, Pineapple, Carrot, Broccoli. This was my least fav of the group. It's taste is just like ass and i was in struggle town. I had to just gulp it down without thinking.
After juice 3 I had a nice peppermint tea. It really helped feel warm and content.
I have to remember " NO PAIN NO GAIN" I knew it wouldn't all be easy.

JUICE 4:
I had juice 4 at about 5pm so I considered it my "dinner juice" HAHA. I kinda feels way because it has Beetroot, Carrot, Apple, Lemon, Spirulina and Ginger. But you really only taste the beetroot. I think there should be more ginger.
But WARNING: Use a straw with this juice. I didn't bring a straw out with me and I had to drink it from the bottle. You get beetroot stain all over your mouth and lips and look like you've been sucking someone's blood a la True Bloods fav lesbian vampire Pam.

JUICE 5:
Before I had Juice 5 I went to Starbucks and got a Venti Peppermint Tea. Yay. They assured me it was herbal and no caffiene. I don't trust Starbucks so I have to ask these questions.
By juice 5 it's now 7pm so by this time I should be hungry but I'm not.
Juice 5 was actually my favourite juice of them all. Lemon, Water, Agave Nectar, Cayenne Pepper. I liked this one a lot and I think it's something I would of bought if I saw it in the shops. Its just a nice refreshing lemony type juice.
I think this juice is very similar to the Lemon Detox Diet.
I don't think I could do this "diet". I just love lemon too much and I fear I'd get sick of lemons forever after having only lemon water for days.
By this time I took a one sip of juice 6 to see what it tasted like and to curb any sugar cravings.

JUICE 6:
Coconut Milk, Raw Cashews, Cinnamon, Vanilla Bean, Water, Agave Nectar.
I thought I would like this juice the most because it was like a dessert juice but i thought it was just okay. I only drank half of the bottle.
I was too tired to finish it.
I wish it had more Cinnamon but I am NUTS for cinnamon.



Zzzz
Anyway
I fell asleep at about 10.30pm last night which I haven't done since I was about 12.
I was so tired. Not sure if it was because a very long busy day or because of detox.
I had to carry around all my juices because I was out all day and night. I hated having to answer to everyone about the detox and why I'm "starving myself"
It became tiring after the 3rd person.
My mum thought I was on a doctor ordered detox. HAHAHA Bless.

Let me tell you one thing though that no one from Urban Remedy told me.
YOU PEE LIKE A MAD WOMAN.
I was peeing all day.
It was embarassing.
I had to pee like every half hour.
Pee Pee Pee.
I thought it was just me but I asked my friend K who is doing the detox as well and it's the same with her too.
Prepare for peeing.
If you are in a job where you can't take breaks to pee then rethink this detox during working days.

I weighed myself yesterday morning before Juice 1 and this morning before Juice 1 and I have lost 2.5kg.
Isn't that mental?
Surely that can't be right. I might of been carrying loads of water weight?
I have no idea.
I was really shocked when I weighed myself.
I thought I'd be about half a kilo lighter.
Weird huh?
I'm not quite sure what to make of it.
My stomach does look flatter but I'm still a bit confused.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!
Reading all your comments is making me really motivated!!
I feel like I cannot cheat now.
Not at all !!

I am doing a detox!!



Wahhh.
I am sitting here in bed at 12 terrified of the thought of the next three days.
What have I donnneee???

I read about the Urban Remedy detox on Marlo Perry's blog.
I thought I wanted to try it. I dunno why.
Probably the cutesy packaging.
Lets not lie. I am easily sucked in by things like that.
Hahahhaa.
Ok but more seriously, I think it was because it didn't require pills and powders.
That kind of detox seems weird to me.

For those of you who don't know, I will be drinking 6 juices a day for 3 days and that is it!
You can have water and herbal teas too.

I think I was drawn in by the challenge of not eating for 3 days.
I think there is no way in hell I can pull this off.
I'm trying to remember of the money I'll be flushing down the toilet if I cheat. I will use this as a motivator.
I will try and blog the next three days so I can be honest about my experience.

Zzzzzzzzzzzz.
I think if when it comes to being told I can't eat something, it's going to be all I think about for the next three days.
Today I kept thinking I need to stock up on three days worth of food so I dont get hungry. Hahah. I resisted temptation mainly.
Although, I did have an extra coffee before dinner.
COFFEE I WILL MISS YOU MY FRIEND, BUT I PROMISE I WILL SEE YOU SOON

Ahhhhhh
I just hope the next three days go by quickly.

I will try and take some photos of recent buys too!
I need to get my ass into gear with this whole blogging thing I know.
I just find myself really not into computer things lately.
The work I've been doing is off computers and out of the house so I guess less time at home as well.
I've learnt a lot about toilets and showers. It's been interesting!!

Happy Weeekeeennddd

Hey everyone!!
Thank you all for welcoming me back :)
I thought no one had noticed I stopped.

On Wednesday I took photos for a friends T-shirt label.
It was fun but a lot harder than I expected.
I have zero photography skills. The only photos I take are the ones you see here.
But I think they were happy with the results.



While M was changing into different Ts, D, his brother and I were mucking around.

Here is D pretending he is some sort of break dancer. Which is 1000% not. Hahaha.
This photo is kind of convincing though. Hahahhaa



Here is Ds brother trying to be cool. Which is 1000% not. Hahaha.
I think he had fun. He is on school holidays now so it was great to have his help.
I think it took his mind of VCE for a day so thats good too.



Here is me trying to do a jump shot. Ughh. HAHAHAHA. I think it's pretty obvious I need to exercise more.
Or practice jumping without pulling crazy faces.



Here is a keyring I got in Tokyo. It's cute. I dont know where I will use it.



The night before the photoshoot we went to Nobu for dinner.
We ate/drank a lot. It was glorious.
I heard yesterday that Robert De Niro is in town. I like to think he was dining with me that night and I just didn't notice.
Here is my new S&B top. It's from the new season but looks almost identical to everything from the last season.
I liked that it had a high neck. D thinks I always have my "rack out" so I'm pretty much going to only wear turtle necks from now. HAaaaaaaa.
He is going to not like that I wrote that. Hahahaaaaa too bad he doesn't have the internet right no so he can suck it.
My nail colour is Chanel Lotus Rouge. It matched my drink!



A few weeks ago I went to ACMI to see the Banksy film Exit through the Gift Shop.
It was fun. I felt bad for Mr Brain Wash. They made fun of him a little too much perhaps. I dunno. I felt bad for him.
Anyway, I liked this huge thing outside so I took a photo. Just found it then!



Along with these photos too!
I got a Nespresso machine about a month ago.
I love it.
It's so easy and no cleaning.
I recommend them. Obviously it doesn't compare to "real" coffee but its nice quick and easy to make while I'm getting ready in the morning.



I love the cute little pods that come with it!



I love photographing roses.
They always look so much nicer in close up photos than real life.



I am watching TV and relaxing tonight. I feel so burnt out from the last 2 months.
I think I need to sleep for 3 days to catch up.

I am heading back to Perth tomorrow so I will try and take some more photos this week!
However I might not be able to blog :(
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

Hello !

Hello!~
Long time, No see !

I haven't been taking any photos lately, but i just uploaded some old photos from camera to share.
This is from Perth about a month ago?
Sometimes I cant be effed with clothes and I just wear something of Ds.
Nice and baggy and easy and comfy!


Ds Bape shirt
Sass & Bide shorts
Sass & Bide beanie
Zara boots

I love these boots. Mainly because of the buckles and the comfort factor!
I wear them nearly every day. I should get them topy'ed so they last longer!



Here are some photos of foods I recently ate!
YAY

These are from MAMASITA on Collins st.
Yummy. I could eat guacamole every day!



Here is a cheese and mushroom tortilla and some sort of vegetables cooked in a red pepper.
They were nice.
For drinks I had the mamasita margarita. It's very nice!
D had this red chili beer type cocktail that was also nice. Sounds gross though!



This was supposed to be some sort of mint dessert but really was just some sort of custard shiz. EW. I had two mouth fulls. Yuck.
Ignore my deer in headlights expression.
Hahahha. So stupid.

I wore a S&B tshirt
with a
Kate Moss for Topshop vest



This dessert sounded so exciting.
Jalepeno and chocolate ice cream.
It tasted like chocolate ice cream.
I dunno where the jalepenos were.



Next we have the newish MAZE restaurant at Crown Metropol.
I really loved the food! Will be back for sure!
The staff all seem very young there and it was quite hard to get attention for drinks etc.
Then once you finally do its about a 10 min wait.
So we started ordering heaps at once so we weren't constantly without a drink.

We did the vegetarian degustation. I think it was 8 courses.
My favourite dish of the night was the first dish, the soup. But I took no photo.
D and I both thought it tasted like Aperge in Paris.

I wore this black Country Road knit that has a sparkle through it. But the camera didn't really pick it up.



Here is a course which was basically beetroot with goats cheese.



This was some sort of potato salad with the thinest sliced avocado ever! Very impressive.
Almost looks like cucumber!



Cauliflower dish.



The bread there is so delicious!!! They serve it in this warm steel canister so it stays warm, and serve it with salt and seaweed butter.



Here for dessert we have a lamington thing.
We also had a carrot cake.
I didn't like either of the desserts.
I think I'm not into 95% of deserts. I'd rather eat salty chips anyday!



Then after dessert you get these strawberry ice cream balls covered in white chocolate.
Which we also didn't eat.
Its all too much sweet and sugar.
Three desserts Bleughh.
But I think most people would really enjoy it!



Here is two random shots from NOBU
If you guys go there you must try this cocktail!!
SO GOOD x 10000
Its a raspberry and hazelnut martini.
YUM
Best sweet drink!!
I usually dont like sweet alcohol drinks but this one is v nice!



Cute tasting plate!!
I like small little desserts to try.



I will try and take some more photos of recent purchases etc.
Winter makes me not want to take photos.
Being in Perth so much makes blogging difficult also because I don't have the internet there :(
I am still trying lots of new places in Perth.
Thank you once again to all of you guys that suggested places for me !

Have a lovely day :)
People down south, rug up!
*bbbrrrrrrrrrr*
