Some good food of late!

Chef's Gallery - Bathurst Street, Sydney.

Cheap & really affordable Asain cuisine. You can watch the chef's cook through the 'chef's gallery' within the restaurant. I really enjoy the Roti, Shallot noodles and Asian rice with crumbed chicken. These little buns were filled with sesame paste - a sweet dessert.

Cargo Bar, Darling Harbour, on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Affordable food, amazing amazing Antipasto platter for $18.50 and $10 jugs of Pimms!

Something Fishy, Penshurst. Best grilled fish and grilled/marinated baby octopus ever! Greek Salad is good to boot too!

Shorts

My friend Amy was recently talking to me about the daunting task of buying some summer denim shorts. There seems to be a trend of really short shorts this summer - usually distressed beyond belief and some even costing more than a pair of jeans. Amy told me she had searched high and low for some comfortable shorts that still had some edge. The choice is either, go to General Pants and buy some really overpriced shorts that require your butt cheeks to hang out from the edge, or go to somewhere like Sussan's and buy denim shorts that go down to the knee. A prude or a slag? Oh what options! It got to the point where Amy would have to walk into a store and ask the sales assistant, "Do you have any shorts that won't make your ass hang out the bottom?". It's a joke. I was lucky enough to buy a perfect pair of shorts in the winter because I knew I would have some trouble when it came to the crunch time in the summer. I'm glad to say Amy had a happy ending and found a lovely pair of shorts too.

The good:

The Bad:

 These I would actually like if they weren't so short.

Lucite

I know the fad of lucite has been on for a while, but I still really love those Prada chandelier lucite shoes!

Me Likey

  Knots, knots, glorious knots!

 A good blazer, summer dress & boots! A fav ensemble of mine!

 Hong Kong fishy charms on necklaces! My grandmother has a huge collection of them, I'm going to go raid them soon!

 This girl's whole outfit. If I'm not mistaken the blazer is by Dion Lee, love. And the print on that skirt is amazing.

 In complete opposition to the previous photo: subdued colour schemes.

 The slight folding up of pants to reveal a bangin' high heel, only high heels, and only skinny jeans.

Clouds, you know. In general.

Bella Vista

Apparently these will be my roof top views from my apartment block next year in Bologna - amazing!

La vista dal mio appartamento sul tetto a Bologna. Meravigliosa.

I Hate People Who Look Good At the Beach

I think there should be one exception in fashion - where you can just look like crap, it should be at the beach! I look at my absolute worst when I am at the beach. It really bugs me that some people look absolutley radiant! Here is why I don't...


1. I don't wear stuff I value and I don't wear many accessories as I would hate for any of these to be stolen. I'm a paranoid person and after watching too many episodes of Bondi Rescue (guilty pleasure alert) I'm well aware that peoples' things at the beach get stolen. Alot.
2. I have really crap eyesight and I can't wear my glasses to the beach, so that rules out my ability to see - hence I'll be squinty. True, I sometimes wear contacts, but if I go underwater, something about water and contacts don't mix and the contacts get stuck to my eyeballs and I have to scratch them off later. Painful, to say the least. And then I will be stuck with bloodshot eyes. Squinty or Bloodshot - interesting choice.
3.  Suncream. I am quite dark, not heaps dark, but dark enough. Something about suncream makes my skin go a purpleish tinge when I rub it into my skin,  even worse when I get into the water - almost luminously purple. There is some weird purple pigment within sunscreen that rubs into white skin - not so well with my tone. Almost like my skin is the colour of a corpse - very flattering.
4. I have naturally wavy - borderline curly hair. It goes absoloutley foul after being in sea water. I'm talking crazy lady curly, where it looks like I've never learned the art of combing my hair.


So all in all, at the beach I am a hobo clad, squinty crazy lady who turns into a purple monster in the water. So a big 'you suck!' to all the people who look great at the beach, I hate you/want to be you!


PS. I look absoloutley bangin' anywhere else!


Non mi piacciono le persone chi sono belle dopo a visitare la spiaggia. Io sono brutta dopo la spiaggia, soprattutto i miei capelli !
