I've been really loving the Aztec designs lately. Even more that I just had to wear something Aztec two weekends in a row haha.

I was very hesitant on wearing the skirt on the night because of the way it was made. I fell in lust as soon as I saw it and immediately took my debit card out. It was not until I got home and tried it on that I realised that you can see through the skirt. The skirt itself is pretty much just a multiple soft thread weaved together with a thick waist band at the top. Even my parents didn't understand the trend, I quote, "it looks like something you could do yourself".. but I thought it worked so well with my white chiffon top and my wine wedges that I decided to go through with it. Laughed it off and left.

What's to tell you is that I received so many compliments (some a little inappropriate) from both genders throughout the night. "Tribal skirt", they call it. So from all that, the $45 was worth it :] But because it's such a statement piece, you won't be seeing me wearing it again in the near future.

FYI okay! We did not go in there looking like that. We fresh! But the damn photographers took their sweet ass time showing up. That's why we look all grotty - we shook our bootayys like there's no tomorrow. The candid looking shots were obviously stolen. We thought he wouldn't put them up on their official facebook page, but guess what the little bugger do? Yes.

Overall it was a good night out, I wasn't too dead the next day. Could it be all the Zumba sessions I've been taking? *fingers crossed.

Seriously, who let this child in?

xx.

Pavilion and Star Bar

My OOTN :]

Self timer at Central Station
Check out my make-shift puffed sleeves :P

Just a chilled night out with two of my girls at the city to celebrate Jess finishing her first year of Uni wooo! And if you're wondering why I'm dressed "mature" (lol) I'm not sure either, I felt like it at the time.   Jess pointed out that she's seen my necklace worn by a model which made my smile from ear to ear :]

Anyone know which one she's referring to? :P

We spent our night in two bars (Pavilion and Star Bar) drinking and talking despise the loud music. We did a little dancing but that wasn't the point of the night lol. I thought Star Bar's interior was ze bomb! You'll feel like you're in space hence the "Star Wars" inspired design. The Pavilion Bar  had cheaper drinks though.

Taken on Regie's iPhone LOL

I found Star Bar's bathroom so trippy :]

Midori & pineapple juice; Vodka & Redbull; Alize & lemonade; $5 cocktail of the night (I didn't catch the name)

These 3 guys (below) approached us at the end of the night. I found them so funny, especially the Japanese guys - they are so animated! :P They said they came in Australia 2 weeks ago and their Chinese mate is showing them around.

I taught them the English alphabet yay ^^ They still need to work on the accent though hehe.

Melbourne Cup Day

Hallo me hearties!

Brace yourselves for a really long post but before I go rambling about my day, let me give a little description about Melbourne Cup Day :)

In Australia, Melbourne Cup Day is an annual horse racing event held on the first Tuesday of November. It's basically an event where people bet on horses (self explanatory). I'm more drawn to what the ladies' wear.

When attending the races, whether it is the esteemed Melbourne Cup or any other of the premier race days held in Australia, the aim is to look glamorous. Along with the gorgeous dresses, you'll find on the tops of all the ladies' heads are Melbourne Cup hats and fascinators adorned with feathers, flowers, beads and lace. These fascinators are to compliment the hairstyle and to make a statement to the fashion critics.

I should've worn a fascinator or any accessory on my head in the spirit of this day but I thought I'd look out of place ><

Anyway, Reghimself invited me out to dinner with his siblings and I thought I'd wear my newly purchased shoes. I am in love with it! The ends of the strap flicks out a little and it reminds me of wings which reminds me of  2NE1 haha! They are super comfortable to walk around in and I got these babies for only $30 (rrp $109.95) at General Pants Co. It has a subtle wedged heel which is always a plus for shawties like me.

I had to force Reghimself to take OOTD pictures of me causing me to look rather awkward. Better than nothing, I say!

We headed to Coogee, playing road trip games like "I spy" and "Alphabetical Countries" - doubt that's what it's called lol. Basically, each person should name a country starting with the letter that was chosen. I suck at these games :(

@ Coogee. Reghimself showing off his nudies (also from General Pants Co.)
This photo doesn't do it justice.

I've never eaten at Churrasco before so I decided to take some pictures.. after two flashes I put my camera away. I felt like a kid and got shy LOL!

Churrasco (Shoo-Has-Ko, according to the website) is a Brazilian-style all-you-can-eat barbecue in which meat is slowly roasted on long skewers over a flaming pit of coals. Each table has a small cardboard paper with one side is coloured red and the other is green. Turn it so the green is uppermost and the meat keeps coming. Turn it to red and they will stop until you decide you can go on. Or explode.

Ateh Olivia ^^
