Soundwave Perth

Hello!

Long time , no see.

I am back in Melbourne now. YAY.

The journey back was mammoth. Plane issues. Switching Planes.

Luggage not coming till the next day. Wahh!

Anyway. It's all over now.

I went to Perth over the weekend for Soundwave. Originally was planning to go to Melbourne but D couldn't get back here because of work so we went to Perth.

It was so much fun.

Glad I went to Perth instead. There were no lines and you could get close to the stages easily.

Apart from Slayer.

That was redic. I think they under estimated how popular Slayer are, or perhaps the band requested not to be on a main stage? I have no idea.

I had no idea what to wear. I hate dressing for hot weather. I prefer winter where I can cover all my skin.

I sent photos to my girl M who said to go with this option:

(Plz excuse the messy hotel room )

S&B top and shorts

Topshop sneakers

Hermes cuff

Raybans

I was in the 1% group that wasn't dressed in all black. Weird for me because I'm usually in all black. But it was so hot.

I didn't want sunstroke.

I even put on SPF!! If you are reading K, I hope you are proud of me.

Got there and sweated like a pig.

NICE!

So hard to handle after Melbourne had a week of 18 degrees weather. aka winter.

ETA- This photo is a bit gross. Look at my armpit vagina. It's like beyonces.

EWW

I got there around 4 and watched Slash, half of Slayer, ate drank and socialised with our awesome Perth friends!!

Then finally the sun went down and Iron Maiden came out!

WOO!

Such an amazing set.

TWO HOURS!!!

I wanted to hear Run to the Hills. It never happened.

Oh well.

It was still awesome!!

Wish I could go again.

I dunno if I will ever have a chance to see them again.

So glad I made the trip to Perth.

Was well worth it!!

YAY WEEKEND!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

This week has been so busy and bleugh.

Family heath issues resulted in me helping to run a lunch shop and it was damn HARD.

Kudos to all you people who work in kitchens and lunch shops.

Dang. It's like 50 degrees in there.

I think I will be back next week too.

I can whip up a ham + salad roll like nobody's business.

Which is weird...because I don't eat ham. Hahah.

I can also deep fry potato cakes well.

Important skills to have in life!

I think my aunty is all in clear now so I am happy.

I haven't taken any photos this week so here are some photos from Perth when I was there 2 weeks ago.

Wah.

I look foul in them.

Hello regrowth.

Thank god I don't have it anymore.

I got my hair done last week.

D and I went to Greenhouse in the Enex Building for lunch.

It was really average.

I think it'd probably be better if you ate meat.

There are no vegetarian options and the pizza oven wasn't working.

Lame

They made this.

I dunno where the taste was.

Bland Town.

Let's all laugh at D in his work attire.

HAHHAHA.

He looks a bit like a banker or something in the white collar.

Is that what its supposed to be?

I dunno. I thought white collar shirts where popular in the finance industry but I have no idea where I got that idea from.

Look at the potaties.

I LOVE POTATOES.

If I had my way I'd eat them every day.

Chips, mash, baked potati, roast potato with garlic and rosemary.

Ughhhh POTATIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

BLARGH!

This was the only photo of what I wore so I will post it and embrace the fuggers.

It looks like I have no eyebrows or something.

I barely do.

I felt so weird in this outfit because I was wearing colours.

Every now and then I try to wear something that isn't black/white/grey but then I always feel weird.

BLEUGH

WHAT A WORM

The pink shirt is Sportsgirl and the t-shirt is Evil Twin.

I sent these baby xmas tree decorations to my cousin last week.

This one says " Baby's First Christmas 2010"

I hope she liked them!

And I bought some cute new ones for my tree.

This deer? It is a deer right?

And this koala!!

How cute!

YAY.

CANNOT WAIT UNTIL I GET MY XMAS TREE!

We went last week but the farm was closed.

LAME.

The farm doesn't open until Dec 1.

I WANT IT THIS WEEKEND!!!

I like decorating it and putting the lights on etc.

Wooo

I hope everyone posts photos of their trees this year!!

Or atleast tweet them to me!

I'd love to see them all !!!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend!

:)

:)

Perth CBD at night.

Perth CBD becomes quite pretty at night because it's basically a ghost town.

It's nice to walk around a bit.

Xmas decorations are now being put up so I took some photos.

I walked in on a dress rehearsal for a choir.

They were doing all the wiring etc so I didn't get to hear the singing.

Some weird $2 fairy lights in the main strip.

I wonder if someone will rip them off before Xmas?

Most likely.

Ghost town....

This was outside of Myer/David jones at 7.30pm.

The always pretty London Court.

I wish there was good shops or cafes down here.

Such a pity that it isn't used to its full potential.

It's so cute.

I look so hagged after walking around Perth all day.

We spent some time in the hospital visiting D's new baby cousin!

She was so cute!

We went from the hospital in Subi to Northbridge for dinner and then walked all the way back to East Perth.

You can imagine how sore my legs were for the next 2 days.

$20 shoes that I got in Haji Lane in Singapore.

Yesssss.

They're so comfy and crap. I love them.

I will wear them a lot this summer. Unless they break in 2 weeks. Which is likely.

More of London Court..

Some weirdo sculpture thing they were putting up on St Georges Tce.

Pretty cool huh?

Reminds me of those things that suck your thoughts out in Harry Potter.

What are they called?

You know the ones that fly around and suck something from you?

It looks like those but in white.

I love this building in Perth!!

Can anyone tell me what it is?

I love that it changes colour.

It flashes all colours of the rainbow and then does a multi-colour thing.

It's like an all year round xmas tree.

Love it.

Here is the lobby of our hotel.

Which always confuses me.

Not sure how Lions and Elephants are relevant to Australia.

Oddest Lobby feature ever.

It's just so out of place.

Especially with all the indigenous art paintings around the hotel.

As we were walking back to the hotel in East Perth,

a tourist asked me where the main bit of the city was so he could go find a restaurant to eat at.

I kinda thought.....there is none.

HAHAHahha.

I never eat dinner in the CBD.

Is there a strip of eateries for dinner in the CBD that I don't know about?

I'm watching Junior Masterchef now and I NEED THAT GREEN DESSERT!

yesss.

Does Zumbo post to Melbourne?

Can I get that dessert sent to me and then the next day the Urban Remedy Juice Cleanse?

Hhahaha

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.

1907

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!!

:)

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*
