westfield insider: do not be afraid of animals

animal print has always been popular with celebrities. i personally love a little animal skin from time to time, but it is a very hard trend to pull off. leopard print can be very loud, so i believe the more-muted zebra print is a great alternative.



Neon Hart animal jacquard knit $40.00AUD from General Pants

this knit jumper from Neon Hart is so versatile because of the length. during the day: wear it with blue skinny jeans. during the night: wear it with over-the-knee black suede boots.

Neon Hart is the result of a collaboration between General Pants and australian model, Jessica Hart. Check out her blog: JESSICA.HART/BLOG

westfield insider: antipodium's cup of ambition

spring is here and there is nothing more classic than a denim dress. jak & jil's tommy ton has snapped many candid photos of the denim look outside fashion week this year.

at westfield shoppingtown, searching for the perfect spring day look, i found the cup of ambition dress by australian designer, ANTIPODIUM reduced to $49.95 at David Jones! i was utterly in shock to see the price.

this is dress is so comfortable and i love the pearl buttons. i can't wait to wear this out!

westfield insider: protect your gold armour

i love wearing dramatic jewellery. unfortunately, they aren't always made out of the best quality metal. after a full day of wearing a ring, i generally get a massive black ring mark on my finger. hence, most of my jewellery (silver and gold) have discoloured into a weird orange colour after a year of wear.

i'm excited to report: this no longer has to be the case! my fashion BFF gave me a great tip on saturday which i have to share with everyone.

to avoid any more discolouring on your favourite jewellery, paint it with invisible nail polish.

i'm using invisible Sally Hansen x-treme wear ($6.95AUD from priceline)

i was hesitant that it would be really gluggy or you could see areas which had the invisible nail polish. however, i was surprised you could not tell there was any difference. on top of this, nail polish drys very fast so it can even be done before you head out. I painted any areas which would be exposed to my skin (pretty much the whole ring inside and out except for the front).

i'm going to be painting all my jewellery from now on.

westfield insider: head over heels

Wittner is one of my favourite shoe stores.

it's on-trend, has great styles and within any girl's budget.
because of this, i love walking into Wittner to check out what stock they have and is my first stop for shoes.

on saturday, i was shopping with my fashion BFF for the westfield insider at doncaster westfield shoppingtown. Wittner was having one of their amazing sales and i came across these heels.


delicate $49.95AUD

if we were having a conversation face to face, i would have made you guess the price of the heels first and then told you i bought them from Wittner and how amazing the shop is. but since this is an online platform, i can only hope that you are as excited as i am right now.

what i love about wittner's delicate heels are:
- the price!!!
- the simplicity and versatility - this is the perfect heel for any occasion, timeless yet it is still a little bit edgy
- it will match any outfit - black matches any colour and never think you can have too much black
- the platform - not only does it make the heels itself more comfortable, it has some sort of resemblance to these lust-worthy nicholas kirkwood heels

now you might be thinking, "oh this is only a once off bargain..."
this is not true. Wittner has been the most consistent fashion store in the past few years. i can think of many examples of the above.

tomorrow i will share about my experience with these shoes and Wittner.

couch potato: heston's feasts

i have a new favourite tv show: heston's feasts

Heston Blumenthal is the chef and owner of The Fat Duck, a three-starred Michelin restaurant in the UK. he is a self-taught chef famous for his innovative-scientific style of cooking and his play with food on our human senses. australians may know him better as a celebrity chef in Masterchef season 2.

i watched my first episode a few weeks ago. After watching him create the entree for his guests, my jaw dropped and remained there for the whole hour as my mind was blown away by his thought process and desire for each dish.

highly recommend any 'foodie' to watch this show.

watch it: series 2 is on thursday nights @ 8.30pm on SBSONE.

my family recently bought a new camera: sony nex 5
in a nut shell - it's has more capabilities than a point-and-shoot, but it is not a dslr.

what is great about the sony nex 5:
- it is compact and yet produces dslr-like shots
- very easy to use eg. can produce shots that defocuses the background and focuses on your object without changing any settings
- hd video recording
- i was particularly impressed with its hand-held low light shots.


what i have realised after using the sony nex 5:
- i am having a little trouble focusing on people, especially when it is in low light. however, i am sure that once i get more time to figure it out, it should be fine.
- i am not particularly happy with the colour of the photos. i find them too sharp. however, like above, i'm sure i can achieve the colour i would like with more play-around time.

this camera is around the same price as an entry-level dslr, so there is a lot to consider. however, if you want a camera which you can use once you take it out of the box, never have to read the manual and yet produces sharp photos, i highly recommend the sony nex 5.

now all i have to do is bring around my camera with me to capture "sony" moments.
