My first hat

Alvina wears:

Fascinator hat made by me, Valleygirl coat, BWN dress from a random boutique i actually don’t remember, Peter Lang cuff, Alvina necklace gifted by a friend, Wittner platforms

Although the fascinator looks simple it took weeks to block into shape and then hand stitch, but it was still fun making it =) Was going for the feminine yet fun look (Dior-esque?)  The dress i bought years ago (it was at a daggy length but got it shortened so i wear it quite a bit now !). Have a look at your old (now daggy?) purchases and try changing it <3 Hope you had an awesome week people ^^

In the Navy

Anna wears:

Alice in the eve top, Milkandhoney shorts, Marcs cardigan, Gorman shoes, Peeptoe ring

Another basic outfit. Good for Summer. Most of the time I tend to dress in a rather simple way, so it's no surprise there are hardly any crazy looks of mine. Just putting together garments which, in my eyes, mould perfectly with each other - as you do.

Citrus Tones

Alvina wears:

Pinkii mint maxi dress, Griffin silk vest, BIK mustard cardigan, Vintage glomesh clutch, Vintage gold buckled belt, Lamp necklace, Therapy studded strap heels

This outfit reminds me of mint, lime & lemons. This is completely random but a mojito cocktail comes into mind mMmmm… I hand sewed the vest to tailor to my fit because it is originally a mens vest but i love it because its pure silk and worth quite a lot =)

Whenever i see something that i like that doesn’t quite fit me right, i get it anyway because my philosophy is to just make it fit (without transcending the physical boundaries of the human body). Hope everyone had a nice week ^^ xoxo

@home

Dumplings

These were DELICIOUSLY tangy & sweet, encased by its soft,tender yet flavoured wrap. The zesty meat ball pieces definitely rolled with ease in my mouth.

Home is actually my absolute favourite place to dine whenever i'm in the city, which is quite a lot. When I first discovered this place, I went about twice a week, sometimes even twice a day. Haha safe to say I was addicted! Anyway, this entree is just divine. The sauce has quite a sweet flavour and it just works perfectly with the chewiness of the dumplings.

Beef salad

There was only one phrase to describe the exuberant combination of spicy tangy zesty refreshing flavours : A party in the mouth !! =)

Okay, this is my favourite. I have ordered this pretty much every single time i've eaten here. It's THAT good. Love how it's quite chilli, but you don't realise it until you keep eating, and by the time you do it's too late. Haha gets me every time but I will probably never stop, I just keep eating. The great thing about Home is, even though the dishes taste exceptionally good, the prices are very wallet friendly. $25 can get two people a tasty meal which will keep you happy and comfortably full. The only one thing that might let you down is the wait to get in. There's always a lot of people during peak times, but they do also make up for it by delivering the food to your table within a very short timeframe.

Pad thai

I usually find pad thai pretty boring because i get sick of the flavours pretty quickly after halfway but this one was awesome! Due to the fact that the noodles were vermicelli ( which are magical noodles that only make me hungrier !!). Overall I would definitely come back for all these dishes, they were beautiful flavours but also quite cheap too!!

This is another one of my usual orders, although definitely not as much as the beef salad. It is just a classic pad thai, but I just think the vermicelli noodles make all the difference. I used to prefer pad se ew over pad thai, however now i'm always ordering the latter, but with vermicelli of course! This version is definitely highly recommended, as is this restaurant.

Hello yellow

Anna wears:

Gorman jumper

Forever New jacket and skirt

Marc Jacobs bag

Miu Miu shoes

YSL ring

Just an easy, no fuss outfit. Presence of my favourite colour, and an ever-so-slightly fuzzy jumper in a sunshine yellow. And because I love collars, the addition of a white shirt to finish off the look.

Hopefully we can get back to posting regularly this month, as last month was quite a drought!

Grumpy Hippy

Alvina wears:

CKM leather biker jacket

Scanlan and Theodore tye dye tank/dress

Grey tights

Therapy ankle boots

Cotton On sunnies

Fossil leather bag

What do you get when you mix a grungy biker jacket + trippy hippy dye?  The title of the post gives it away.. a grumpy hippy =) Have an awesome week everyone <3 

Greens are good for you

Anna wears:

Princess Highway coat

Marcs dress

French Connection hat

Saba bag

Tony Bianco boots

Who would have thought, a pink lover like me, would be surrounded like this in greens of many different shades. But like they say, greens are good for you, and sure enough i've definitely taken a huge liking to this fun yet calming colour! Oh, and i'm starting to eat more veggies too~ ^_^

@thaifoon

This post is long overdue because we ate these dishes waaay back in early Feb! The photos had been saved with all our other photos but somehow got lost amongst all the folders and content. But then they were discovered so we can share it with you all! :)

We loved the decor, it offered escape from the rush of the rest of the city it was amongst. The crowded yet ambient place was perfect for viewing Sydney city’s beautiful harbour whilst enjoying exotic Thai flavours.. This would definitely be an awesome place to be festive or even just to have a late dinner.

Duck pancakes

From memory we ordered this because of our previous encounter at Monkey Magic, and I have to say this did not match up AT ALL to the one we had before. There was no need for a comparison whatsoever because they were practically two different dishes. A bit of a disappointment.

These were tender with the perfect complimentary crunchy fillings of veggies and juicy duck ..I’ve tasted better but this was sufficient to tease my taste buds =)

Noodle salad

This was quite delicious. And remembering this is quite a feat in itself! The dish was fresh and zesty, just how it should be ^_^

 I quite enjoyed the zesty plush prawns combined with tangy refreshing salad. It was a party in the mouth with numerous flavoursome guests LOL..

Panang curry

Because this is from such a long time ago, my memory of the flavours are a little vague. But it definitely didn’t strike me as unpleasant, so I guess that’s a good thing. It was pretty much very similar to Thai curries that you can try anywhere else, although this one is probably a bit pricier!

The curry was a little sweet but was harmonious as it was smoothly blended with the soft chicken pieces. As I prefer savoury curry i wouldn’t pick it again, but hey i don’t complain either for the taste =)

Also we are thinking of adding scores at the end of every food “review”. What do you guys think about it?

A pop of pink

Anna wears:

Princess Polly necklace

Sportsgirl sunglasses

Miu Miu heels

Marcs skirt

Mimco bag

A simple, almost black & white outfit, with hints of colour from Mickey's shorts and my favourite heels. This tee has served me well. Every time I want to add some character to my outfit, I mix it in, and something that could have been bland and boring, immediately becomes playful and fun!

DIY headband

Alvina wears:

Jolie & Deen long sleeve dress

Ginnette woollen blazer

French boots

Custom made flower headband

Custom made collar made by sis

Lovella ring

My friend had a sewing meet up so i decided to sew up a head band =) made of a stretchy duchess satin.

I can’t wait to make more head pieces because i plan to make some epic ones for my final collection at college <3 Hope you all have a productive week ! xoxo
