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!!

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!

Adios Paris

I can't post about Paris anymore. I've been back for too long. I'm over it.
Ha.
This is me at CDG. On the travelator to the gate. BOOOO I pulled a sad face for the photo. Or maybe I had this face for the whole of the morning. Plus it was early in the morning. I cant crack a smile before noon. I miss Paris so much. Can't wait to go back!
Boooo Cryyy Hiiissss.

I'm wearing my Missoni cape/dress thing. It's supposed to be some sort of multi piece. Dress/Strapless dress/ Cape. It came with a belt but the belt was hell uggers and I threw it out.
It's the most comfortable thing ever. I love it.
My trusty MJ mouse flats. They are the most comfortable ballet flats ever!

On the way back we got the A380 again ! Yay. So good. I felt so sick though. It was horrible. I vommied. HAHAHA Did you all enjoy that overshare?
D and I decided to go cameraless in Singapore so I have no photos to share. The hotel room was really nice though. I can't be bothered posting those photos. They are boring anyway.
I really like Singapore. It's so clean and cheap and people are polite. I will go back soon.
On the airplane I did duty free shopping from the booklet.
I randomly bought these two products;

Lancome - Genifique
It is supposed to give me visibly younger skin in 7 days. But to be honest, I haven't used it 7 days in a row yet. I'm lazy. I like it though. I think i can see a difference. But maybe because I'm looking for it. It has a weird texture though.


And
SK-II Facial Treatment Mask.
How fun is this? I love it. Don't do it in winter. Somehow the masks are FREEZING cold when you put them on your face even though they are room temperature. You just wack the mask on for 10 mins and then rip it off and done. So easy. I love it. love love. Added bonus : you look a bit like Jason from Friday the 13th with the mask on.
Apparently the pitera ingredient in SK-II is some miracle ingredient which was discovered from the women working in sake breweries. Their hands were so youthful after years of working with this ingredient. So the story goes.... I dunno if this is true...Oh well.

I'm not into skin care. I never try skin things and just use Clinique DDML and thats it. I don't do facials or toning or eye creams or whatever.
My mum the other day told me to stop wasting money on fashion and start buying anti-aging products because " one day you will look in the mirror and see an old person staring back at you"
and that kind of freaked me out, but then I realised she meant me, not some creepy intruder.
But I figure I'll just get botox or something. I dunno. I'm too lazy to worry about the future now. Anti-aging creams are boring, just like super ann. funds? ZzzzZzzzZzzz

What do you guys do for anti-aging? Anything yet? When should I start?
I went to Mecca Cosmetica to buy anti-aging and the CHARMING sales assistant scoffed at me and said I'm too young for anti-aging and tried to force me to buy an SPF cream. ugh
Now I'm too scared to go back to the shops.

Have a lovely weekend everyoneeeeeeeee!!!
Drink/Eat/Relax/Go Crazy!!

It looks like my weekend is going to consist of atleast 3000 hours of cleaning.
