gifts from halfway around the world .

i'm back from Malaysia! i know, what ever happened to blogging FROM Malaysia?! (this is the part where i start with excuses.) 1. the internet at my cousin's place was shit. 2. i was too caught up with eating that i didn't even bother taking photos. 3. i got lazy.

bad/good excuses? you decide. personally, i think excuses are bad to begin with but that's just gonna work against me now aye?

anyhoos, it's been a while since i got something in the mail so twas really nice to find the postman outside my house today with a package marked for me! i knew right away that it was from the boy in Manchester. even though it didn't reach me on Valentine's Day, the wait was definitely worthwhile.

Topshop Premium Stripe Shorts


Compiled pictures of various dogs with stuff on them

hope y'all had a good week!

my pretty laced-up but blister-filled feet.

it was Chaddy's VIP shopping night yesterday and it was really nice to be able to shop late into the night. but it sure as hell wasn't nice to have gone shopping in my Aldo Maune wedges.

wearing: Lover leather skirt, random Korean shirt dress, Diva accessories, Aldo wedges.

i wanted to wear my Lover skirt and when i put it on, i decided why not go all earthy? so i did and the Aldo wedges went really well with the whole look. it was kinda comfy at first but once i left the apartment and started to walk continuously in them, they started to literally bite into my feet. by the time i got to Chaddy, both feet had at least six blisters and a couple of cuts.

thank god for Target and by a stroke of luck, i managed to find a pair of nice sandals that still matched my outfit. they were real comfy and well-priced. i immediately purchased them and jumped right out of my wedges. my feet had merely been saved!

i couldn't resist these pair of heels from Sportsgirl. with the additional 20% discount on sale items, i paid only $56 for this. whee! i finally have a pair of plain black heels.

i also finally got my Salvatore Ferragamo headband in the mail. very happy with it!

covered up.

it's been three days since coming back to Melbourne and i'm missing Sydney already! good thing (and funny thing too) is i'll be going back to Sydney with my family next month to visit my aunt and her family. from never having been to Sydney in my entire life to visiting the city three times in a year... it's almost an overkill but hey i'm not complaining.

i had to cover myself up yesterday when i went out because i didn't wanna invite any stares to my red patches on my body. i had to search high and low in my wardrobe for something suitable for the terribly dry and hot weather too. so even though there has been a large divide on harem pants being yay or nay, i still like them and decided to go with it.

wearing: Bardot frill shoulders blouse, Supre harem pants, Forever New Chanel-esque necklace, JKC "Ripped off by Chanel" bracelet, Casio data bank watch, Wittner black pumps.

also got my bargain Wittner heels ($30) from ebay in the mail. it's gorgeous and i feel like Dorothy from Wizard of the Oz in this pair:

peep toes and bare foot.

i got back from school today and was pleasantly surprised to see a huge box sitting at the corner of my room. i couldn't believe how fast the shoes that i had bought from shopbop.com had arrived!

opening parcels in the mail is always like opening presents during birthdays and Christmas. it's always exciting to me, and of course disappointing at times. today, it was of much excitement. i did a trigger happy dance in front of the mirror when the shoes fitted perfectly. now, i just can't wait for Melbourne's weather to 'cheer' up so that i can bring these babies out for a walk.

i saw this at Myer and fell in love with it immediately so when i saw this on sale at shopbop, i jumped right at it.

i love it that there's a crane imprinted on the shoe and the leather strap is pseudo snake skin.
