A little off

Alvina wears:

Scanlan and Theodore dye tank

Stellino blouse

Paper Scissors skirt

Bally rucksack

Ring (The Vera Wang perfume bottle lid)

Pinocchio necklace

Hope everyone has a good week ^^
I was doing some spring cleaning and decided to recycle the lid of the vera wang perfume “princess” and wear it as a ring =) Im surprised the fit was just right haha it was meant to be…

Entree; Spicy calamari with tiger prawns: Calamari rings stir fried in olive oil with ginger, garlic, fresh coriander and Indian spices finishing with a touch of lime. Served with 2 pieces of tandoori prawns on side.

This was one of the most exquisite entrees I have had in a while. I’m not sure if that means I just haven’t been eating out at really good restaurants, or if this was indeed as delicious and superb as I am making it out to be, but I enjoyed every single bite. Not only is it visually appealing, the flavours match up perfectly with that subtle grilled taste.

This entree definitely teased my taste buddies as they instantly fell into attraction with the zesty tingle and plump juicy calamari pieces.

Kashmiri lamb: A mild curry, diced lamb flavoured with staranise and sour cream

I thought this was quite enjoyable also, and accompanied with the rice, made for a flavoursome party in your mouth

It was a little sweet for my lovin, but it did the job in making a nice complimentary tang with the rice!

Chicken butter masala: Tandoori chicken fillets in a tomato - fenugreek curry sauce

Smoooth butter chicken. I have said this before in our previous Indian cuisine encounter, and i’ll say it again… butter chicken can do no wrong :)

As Anna said above, there is no way that butter chicken can EVER go wrong =), loved the creaminess fused with the soft delicate chicken pieces YUM.

Capture the Scene

Anna wears:

T by Alexander Wang sweater

Gorman shirt and shoes

Motel Rocks skirt

Subtitled jacket

Miu Miu bracelet

Marc Jacobs bag

I’d been meaning to wear this skirt again for a while, so decided to do so before it got too cold to be bare legged. Although I originally intended for a colourful top to go with it, I felt sad for this poor little sweater which had not seen the light of day for a couple of months, so decided it should accompany me out. I feel like this outfit is somewhat a mash up of all my neglected items; the bag and shoes had also slowly been collecting dust.

Hope everyone is having a fabulous week so far ^_^

O r i E n x o t i c a l

Alvina wears:

Vintage floral shirt

Thrifted top

Miss Shop skirt

Scarf (made of a random piece of fabric i found)

Fossil bag

Vintage Ferragamo shoes

I found a random piece of fabric and attempted to re create Issey Miyake’s womens’ robe scarf from S/S 11. His beautiful scarf appears to be a soft floaty cloud, so i thought i would recreate it by adding some mystic vibes to this outfit. I’ve always had an obsession with the unknown and exotic, hence the name of this post is orienxotical =) Hope you all have an interesting week ^^ xoxo

@bills

Corn fritters

I would love to say this tastes as good as it looks, but unfortuneately it was rather plain. The only part I enjoyed was the bacon, and the rest was just mediocre. Really not worth the price, and I fail to understand why this place received such praise from people we know.

Chicken sandwich

This was overall quite refreshing and zesty despite it’s simple look. As a lover of anything fused with coconut, it enabled me to accept that the bread was a little too hard to chew. The tender chicken with the refreshing crunch of the cucumber made a light tasty lunch =)

a little bit of coco & audrey

Alvina wears:

Red Berry high waist skirt

Pinz Milano jacket

My mother’s vintage top

Vintage pearl necklace & bangle

Prada sunnies

Vintage Ferragamo heels

Vintage suede Escada bag

Black & white is normally not in my usual dress code, but i was dressing up for a vintage themed party later in the night..(hence almost everything i am wearing is vintage =D) I was fusing my love for the elegance echoed throughout vintage Coco Chanel, topped off with some pearls. As mentioned already in the title, i also stole a little bit of Audrey Hepburn’s playful character ;). Vintage garments are the best as they are awesome quality and reduces us purchasing instant landfill (cheap mass produced *&#@! eww..). I hope we are all more careful the next time we purchase a garment xoxo !

Happy Colours

Anna wears:

Alannah Hill cardigan

Marcs colour block top

Forever New skirt

Princess Polly necklace

Chanel ring

Vintage Oroton bag

Mimco shoes

I have a huge love for all colours similar to pink, which would include peach, orange, nude, etc., so the colour combination in this outfit really appeals to me. I just feel like these colours give off a very happy vibe, so when I wear something like this, I'm immediately in a refreshing, joyful mood! This skirt was a bargain buy at around $17, so this definitely adds to my good mood too! =D

Also, this was when I had recently got a hair cut, and because it was at a weird length, I wore it like this for a while. My fringe is shorter too, and I kind of like it like this. Might have to pay another visit to the hairdresser!

Happy Wednesday

xoxo

Pastel & Space Lights

Alvina wears:

Pinkii mint maxi dress

BWN tee

Bally rucksack

Therapy ankle boots

I felt like a bit of an elf, wandering around in soft pastel tones .. They clashed with the angsty and fluorescent neon lights of the city. The crowds were going off that night as the streets of Sydney prepped itself for a festive street parade for Chinese New Year =). Anyways hope you all have a festive week ahead =) xoxo

a moment to remember

Anna wears Marcs camel silk shirt

Rather than for the purpose of capturing our outfits, we took some photos on this day because 1) It was our first moment with a new camera (the difference in quality is incredible, considering we used an iphone before), and 2) George St (a very very busy street for those who haven’t heard of it) was blocked off and we wanted to capture the moment when we stood smack bang in the middle of it, although you can also do this on NYE! At first we were a little confused when we came out of QVB and saw people sitting and lying down on the street, when there should be a million cars going past… we thought there was an accident of some sort! It was actually for a parade.

Rapid Print

Alvina wears:

Ribbon from a gift

Ted Baker dress/long top

SES black skirt

Therapy ankle boots

Oggi Domani satchel 

Cicada ring from the markets

Doesn’t the print on my dress, echo the fast paced background behind me? Although Ted Baker may have had something completely different in mind, personally, the prints of the blocked lines remind me of our rapid, ever changing and constructed sky scraper filled city. Let’s slow down everyone =) have a chilled week! xoxo
