Where my love affair with Sydney begins...

I am back from Sydney! Just a quick outfit post on what I wore on the first day in Sydney. I was under the impression that it would be quite warm in Sdyney (partially biased 'cause everytime I go to Sydney it happens to be summer time), so I packed really slutty breezy outfits, and threw in a jacket as an 11th hour thought.

Alas, it was really chilly and rainy in Sydney! FML.

Thank god I brought this white blazer which went with every outfit in my luggage!

Even Jing had to borrow it on some days 'cause she didn't bring any outerwear AT ALL from Brisbane (she is working there now!). -_-

Super gorgeous necklace of Teeny's.

Wore an AZORIAS cut-out dress inside (already sold out). Thank god for the blazer, if not I would have freeze to death! -_-

Yup, it is kind of backless too. -_-

Daisy print cutout exposed zipper backless dress: AZORIAS
White blazer: AZORIAS

It was a great trip, though in the beginning NOTHING went according to plan and for a moment we thought we were jinxed (more about that in another blog post). -__- But at the end of it all, I had great food, great weather, great scenery, and great company...I would say that it's a pretty ACE trip!

In fact, this trip made me fall in love with Sydney for the first time. :)

Bird's eye view.

One of the most common photos in my iPhone are what I call bird's eye view photos-- i.e. photos taken by me top-down. This is usually because there was no one around to take outfit shots of me, so I had to take matters into my own hands... T__T

Thought it would be interesting to post some of them up! Since most likely you will never ever see the original outfits anymore as I don't really repeat outfits -_- (as in I always try to style my items differently when I re-wear them!).

Channeling Jenna Lyons (Creative Director of J.Crew, and one of my personal style icons) with printed pants and geeky classes. Jenna Lyons is my inspiration not only in style, but in how she revolutionize the J.Crew brand. Click here for her Forbes profile.

Bird print pants from AZORIAS (sold out) and Zara frayed bow denim pumps.

Wore this to have vegetarian dinner with the boyfriend and his mom. Is it weird that I remember occasions and events by what I wear? Haha.

H&M printed pants from Hong Kong (bought quite a few pairs of printed pants there!) and Zara studded clutch from Teeny.

Chose this outfit 'cause 1) I had quite a few errands to run in the day, 2) I needed to go to the tax department-- and I have heard that government offices have dress codes?? Apparently one of my friends were stopped from entering the building as her skirt was "too short". Can anyone confirm this? In any case, I didn't want to take the risk, so leggings it was.

Bias hem tee (sold out) and my new favorite houndstooth leggings from AZORIAS.

If you guys remember, I wore this to my day trip to Nilai University (*click*).

Cargo skinnys from ZARA (in Hong Kong, because ZARA stuff is much cheaper there!) matched with AZORIAS lace peplum top. Cutout pumps are also from ZARA, and bracelets are all from Korea.

What I wore for a wedding dinner. Which reminds me, I have been/ will be going to so many!! O_O Oh well, more excuses to dress up. :P

Silver tweed print dress coming soon on AZORIAS and cap-toe pumps that I really should wear more often 'cause they are so cute.

Dressed-down day (usually it means I am wearing flats haha).

Denim cutout dress and red ballet flats (with a slight heel 'cause god knows I need all the help in the height department) from Korea, Balenciaga wrap bracelet (Teeny's), Alexander Wang ponyhair bag.
