Lubov and Max Azria strike again.. NYFW may have just kicked off but this is the most inspiring collection thus far – a sexed-up, highly sophisticated Helmut Newton-inspired collection with HARNESSES, cape backs, signature geometric graphic details, copious amounts of leather and lace, slits.. even the shoes are just perfect - I want everything!

I haven’t started packing for my trip (which is potentially disastrous as I only really have a couple of hours after work tomorrow OMG) but this shirt is definitely coming with me. I think everyone needs a low maintenance shirt that you can just pull out of the dryer (or stuffed suitcase) and throw on and look like you made a bit of effort. I’m not trying very hard, with current default jeans and my new favourite pair of heels.. but some times the simple things are the best.

It was floaty-maxi-skirt kind of weather on the weekend and too sunny to leave home without some kind of hat. That’s the extent of my thinking process behind this outfit. We went to Ikea again to buy a bunch of things we didn’t really know we needed as well as some new shelves for the laundry (which we actually did need). I fell in love with this limited edition mirror-finish Malm dresser that for some reason costs $499 here, let’s see if I can find a way to justify spending that kind of money on a blinged-up version of a $99 dresser. Hope you had a swell weekend!

Just a bunch of things still sitting in various carts on the interwebs. Kind of loving the simplicity of these designs, particularly the Cheap Monday bracelet (also comes in a pretty rad necklace version). How perfect are the DV boots? Kind of wish they came out a bit sooner, I have been looking for a cheaper alternative to these Acne Pistol boots for ages. I’m very particular about the heel and leather so these are the first ones that ticks all the boxes for me.
And thanks to my cousin Faith I’m now obsessed with the Givenchy Pandora! It’s such a strange shape, the very first one I laid eyes on was fully stuffed with paper so I wasn’t too blown away by its cubic proportions, in fact i didn’t like it at all. I thought it just looked.. odd. but then I saw some action shots on the purse forum when it’s half-filled and I just love the way it hangs. And the more I look at it the more I want one. The pebbled leather versions are stunning, and so are the studded ones. I generally love single top-handle bags with a long strap - it’s good to have options - what do you think?
But yeah, exercising some restraint because I’m going to back to Malaysia next week for mum’s 60th.. also, looking squeezing in some shopping time! Can’t wait to drop in on my favourite shops and I can’t believe I am back here one week before the first ever H&M store in Kuala Lumpur opens..

W and I dropped in on the Biennale at Cockatoo Island and Walsh Bay Pier 2/3 on the weekend to indulge my love of strange spaces. The room with the bamboo windchimes attached to the rainbow of ribbons are part of an installation by artist Tiffany Singh, called Knock On The Sky Listen To The Sound. You can take one of the windchimes home to decorate however you like, and then return it to Cockatoo Island to be reintegrated into the installation. Quite a cool idea, and a number of them are already back on the island. More details here!
I’m glad it’s getting warmer now - wearing one of my favourite dresses, the asymmetrical hem and cutout drape back on this is perfect as is the colour.. all the better to show off the tattoo I got almost 14 years ago on my best friend’s birthday.. how time flies.
