lucky.

If you've been paying attention, you will notice that I have a new blog banner.

This has been in the works for quite some time. 

At one stage or another: I was contemplating whether I should pay a professional, futilely attempt to create one myself or even ask a few talented friends for their assistance!

How sluggish of me to not even consider asking the person right in front of me!

Meet the boy. This is the face behind all my photos (he prefers landscapes and street photography and absolutely hates taking photos for me ha ha ha).

The final product is everything I wanted and more! Every little detail in this creation epitomises who I am and what I hope to achieve with this blog. 

Every component of this picture signifies something vital:
1. Asian girl - I used to have straight bangs, this is was my signature look! 

2. Insatiable appetite

3. Shopping addiction

4. Chanel Classic Jumbo - a 25th birthday gift from the boy himself

5. Lady in red

6. My trusty canon s100

7. Even down to the Tiffany&co bracelet! - Talk about an eye for detail!!!

I cannot express, no matter how many times, how lucky I am! Thank you x

one fine day.

Would you drive over an hour just for lunch? 

I would. I live for that moment. 

I live for the amazing taste of what could possibly be, the greatest banana smoothie ever.

Get yourself to the Boathouse Restaurant in Palm beach this Summer. 

At the Boathouse, you can enjoy a nice lunch overlooking the water.

**Disclaimers**

1. Weather permitting only - I would not drive over an hour in pouring rain

2. Best banana smoothie ever - best I've ever tasted, so that statement is limited to Australia (mainly Sydney) and the cities I've visited around the world

3. Overlooking the water - that is, IF you're able to find a table outside =P

Wearing; Ruby Rose for Milk & Honey denim overalls, vintage thrifted print shirt, Jeffrey Campbell cut-out boots, various silver bangles from HK, cat-eye sunnies from Asos.

schwarzkopf and gastro.

When you combine a leading household name such Schwarzkopf with one of Sydney's current "IT" restaurant, you know you're in for a wonderful ride.

On Thursday, Adeline and I attended the Schwarzkopf launch event of their new product - Shake it up Colour Foam at the amazing Gastro Park. This new permanent hair product is supposed to be easy to use (like shampoo, said the Schwarzkopf speaker) and is available in 12 trendy shades. 

The event was a success with great atmosphere, amazing food by the acclaimed chef - Grant King, and generous choice of cocktails (the cherry sour was divine)! 

Bonus? Jesinta Campbell as the MC and a photobooth :)

So, on Friday, for the first time in my life, I dyed my own hair! I used the "Dark Cherry" shade and it was as easy as 1,2,3! Look out for my next post to see the final result :)
