My New Pad!

I recently moved to the outskirts of London (from Zone 3 to Zone 5 shock horror!).  It's to make my commute to work more bearable as I was doing almost 1.5hrs each way and wasting 3hrs of my life everyday.  I wasn't too sure about moving alllllll the way to Zone 5 being so far away from Central and all that but I'm loving it so far :)

Without further ado...here is the pad.

Living room



Living room part deux (lighting = fail)

 
My bathroom...

My bedroom...


I ♥ my new wardrobe...




So that's pretty much it!  Isn't it cute??

Wanderlusting...









































I've decided to add a travel section to my blog!

I want to share my experiences and tips to those who are:
A) thinking of going travelling
B) who are going and planning their travels
C) simply interested and live in wanderlust

Before I left, I was searching high and low through online sites, forums etc to find info and tips. So I thought I'd do my own version on here and hope to share everything from packing, budgeting, to tips on the road - though my experiences at the moment are limited to Australia and the South East Asia!

Viva la Vidal Sassoon...

This post is a little tribute to Vidal Sassoon who died yesterday at the age of 84 after losing his battle with Leukemia :(

Here's a link to the BBC showing 5 ways he changed the world of hair.


Here's 2 things that he's done for sure...

1) He gave me my favourite shampoo like EVER (which I can't get in the UK and only get shipments from my mam from Hong Kong)! It's the thing that keeps my hair in check and all shiny



2) He gave me my bob.

I am definitely forever grateful :)

What is it about fashion that sets our hearts racing?

Fashion is thrilling. Whether window-shopping or drooling over runway stills and lookbooks, fashion is an experience. Certain designs resonate within us - we imagine them as part of our lives.

My own foree into the world of fashion was unexpected. Throughout my teen years, I dressed in enormous band t-shirts and baggy jeans. Fashion was simply something I did not apply to my own existence.

Somewhere along the line, however, everything changed. I don't remember the exact moment, or know why it happened, but it did. My life was suddenly illuminated by fashion.

The changes to my wardrobe were slow at first, and then snowballed. Suddenly I started to feel more comfortable in my own skin – something I had always struggled with. I began to discover myself through fashion.

I fell in love with the confidence that came from clothing; with the ways it could showcase who I truly was. Fashion allowed me to display my personality in a way that my shy demeanour never could. It helped me to find my voice.

Whatever fashion means to you, embrace it. Find your voice, find your style, and never look back.
