Touch of Glamour with Club Couture

March 9, 2012 by Regina Chow No Comments

 
Dress from Club Couture
Necklace from F21
Beaded Hairclip from Alannah Hill
Club Couture never fails to impress with its collection of cocktail/evening dresses. The katy one shoulder dress for instance, comes in a subtle shade of shimmery gold which instantly adds a touch of glamour.
Stylish in every sense of the word, this dress is such a head-turner it’s almost impossible to ignore.
  
You can either keep it simple or glam it up further with accessories. I personally like to use statement jewellery to accentuate a bare neckline. I also had on a beaded hairclip just to complete the look.

Have a good weekend everyone!!

Manly Beach

March 8, 2012 by Regina Chow No Comments

We prayed for good weather the night before we planned our Manly beach outing, and thank goodness lady luck was shining on us! I can’t begin to tell you how much I love the beaches in Australia. The sand is silky soft, the skies are such a gorgeous shade of turquoise blue and the waters here are just so sparkling clear. 
Don’t even get me started on the bikini babes and surfer dudes. With eye candies sprinkled in  every corner of the beach, one really can’t ask for more!

We chilled out at the beach for a while before heading indoors for some light bites. The baked scallops and bruschetta were divine. I mean seriously, I haven’t tasted anything that isn’t divine in Sydney. That only means I’ve been putting on weight, but I’m absolutely loving the whole experience!

Paddington’s Old World Charm

March 7, 2012 by Regina Chow 3 Comments
Paddington Market takes place beside the church every Saturday from 10am onwards. If you’re looking for one of a kind jewellery, knick knacks, art pieces and paintings, you’ll be in for a treat. 😉
We took a stroll around the market before stopping by the church, which is quite an architectural marvel. There’s an old world European charm about the building, which manifests in the brown washed stone walls and Romanesque pillars. Even my outfit that day seemed to fit in perfectly with the background. The brass handrails are probably the only tell-tale signs that we’re in 2012. 

 
Hat and stockings from Forever New
 Lace top from F21
Mustard knit cardigan from City Plaza
Pearl belt stolen from my mum’s wardrobe (haha!)
Swallow skorts from Bangkok
Black pumps from Chanel
My favourite part of this outfit is the black satin ribbon behind this delicate lace top. This, to me, is the epitome of elegance. It also adds an interesting twist to an otherwise boring lace top.

Hello Paddington

March 7, 2012 by Regina Chow No Comments

 
Located in the eastern suburbs of Sydney, Paddington is a quirky fashion enclave where hidden treasures are unraveled. The architecture here is reminiscent of yesteryear and each shophouse is home to eclectic fashion boutiques and quaint cafes.

Every alley reveals a smorgasbord of beautiful trinkets and apparel. Even the decor of the shops took my breath away.

Established and emerging Sydney designers line the streets and every corner spells the discovery of something unique and special.

 Even if shopping isn’t your cup of tea, embarking on a journey to this part of the city will open your eyes to architectural delights of rich heritage. Take a walk down the streets, take in the sights, and when your heart desires, stop by a cafe for a cuppa tea. 
This is probably one of my favourite places in the city. After all, who doesn’t like to bask in the beauty of magnificent designs and creations that set your hearts aflutter?

ClubCouture Ambassador for 2012

March 6, 2012 by Regina Chow No Comments
I’ve been appointed an ambassador for ClubCouture for the second consecutive year, which means you’ll be seeing more of their beautiful apparel and accessories. And, you’ll be the first to hear about any promotions right here!

This dainty petite floral silk blend dress  is one of my favourite pieces from ClubCouture. Not only does it fit well on petite frames, it exudes an air of femininity with its gorgeous flutter sleeves and dreamy floral print. 

The lightweight material makes it perfect for hot summer days. Wear it to a picnic or high tea with the girls! 

Check out more of ClubCouture’s dresses here. I assure you you’ll be spoilt for choice. 😉

Pink Ballerina

March 4, 2012 by Regina Chow No Comments
 
My aunt exclaimed in utmost delight that I looked like a ballerina when she saw me in this outfit, hence the title of this post. It’s a pity that I can’t dance ballet for nuts, for this outfit drew many compliments that very day. Some came up to me to gush about how dolly the entire ensemble was while others were curious about how I did my hair. 
Indeed, this only proves that Australians are some of the nicest people around. I am very grateful that I haven’t witnessed any form of racism to date and most importantly, everyone has been extremely sweet, friendly and helpful. 
My only gripe is that the banks here are much less efficient than what I’m used to back home. Oh well, I guess compromises have to be made. After all, I do appreciate the slower pace of life here. 😉

Summer

March 3, 2012 by Regina Chow No Comments
The end of summer may be near, evidenced by the heavy rainfall over the past 2 days, but cheerful summery colours are here to stay in my wardrobe. Wearing dreary, dull colours in the gloomy days ahead won’t do me any good.

Besides, don’t you agree that bright hues have this innate ability to lift up your spirits?

Hope you like this outfit post. Have a great weekend ahead!!

Darling Harbour, Cockle Bay and Fireworks

March 2, 2012 by Regina Chow No Comments

Darling Harbour is one of the main attractions in Sydney. Not only did it host a series of events in the 2000 Olympics, it is also home to a wide array of eateries to please the most discerning of palates.

We headed to Darling Harbour on a late Saturday evening and it was so crowded that we couldn’t get a place at any of the seafood restaurants. Well, I guess we have an excuse to go back again. 😛


We eventually ended up at one of the food courts which served lovely indian food. The moment we stepped outdoors again, we caught sight of the most spectacular fireworks display. Such perfect timing!

Apparently, this takes place every weekend, so if you’re heading to Sydney, be sure not to miss it!

Back to School

March 1, 2012 by Regina Chow No Comments

I got these garter stockings from Topshop in Singapore some time back, but I never found the opportunity to wear it in the sweltering heat. I finally got down to wearing them in Sydney recently when it was slightly chilly. Don’t you just love the bows at the side? They are so adorable!


Shirt from Dip Drops
Shorts from City Plaza
Bag from Prada
Flats from Chanel
Garter stockings from Topshop


There are so many places that I’ve yet to explore. For now, I’ve only covered the city, Bondi and the Northern suburbs, such as Chatswood and Eastwood. Sometimes, I feel like I’m back in Singapore or Hong Kong, simply because there are so many Asians around!

Navy Blue

February 29, 2012 by Regina Chow 2 Comments
I’ve never really been a fan of blue, but this navy blue jacket changed my mind about the colour. I got this jacket from Cotton On while shopping with my aunt one day and I love how versatile it is. It’s perfect with casual wear but you can easily transform this into corporate wear with a quick change of outfit.

Sequin top from Ms Selfridge
Faux leather shorts from City Plaza
Black flats from Chanel

In other news, we’ve just shifted into our apartment and bought a car (you can catch a glimpse of it in the background) a couple of days ago. It feels wonderful to be independent but at the same time, it feels somewhat odd to be living away from family in a foreign land. The good news is, we still meet up for lunch/dinner every other day and that alone is enough to make me feel warm and fuzzy inside!

I’m counting my blessings everyday. 😉
