Food adventure #4

Good afternoon everyone!

As most of you know, the Asian invasion was just a few weeks ago! Yes, I am talking about Moon Festival!! As I waited weeks and weeks for the festival to come, I was already craving for their seafood balls, chips on sticks, strawberry covered chocolate and their beef jerkyyyyy! Unfortunately, the strawberry stand wasn't being held this year, instead there was a stand with insect!! Yes, insects... And no, I did not try it.. 

What I did had though was:

Honey beef jerky 

Octopus balls

Prawn balls

Satay skewers + bubble tea (forgot to take a photo of it)

And as for dinner, nothing beats:

A bowl of Pho Tai Bo Vien

And frozen yoghurt for dessert!!

Although I wasn't able to eat everything I was hoping for, I am pretty satisfied with a day well spent with my hubby!

What are your favourite food/things to do at Moon Festival? :)

Food adventure #3

Hello everyone! 

Two weeks ago, Sydney had experienced a hot and very dry Saturday! My boyfriend and I spent our 28 months mainly running a few errands; buying pet food and paying the bills. Since we were in the area, we decided to go get some desserts at Little Star, Canley Vale. Usually when we decide to visit this store, it is always closed so we never had a real opportunity to go there and eat. But that day was our lucky day! 

Here was what we ordered:

Pineapple Delight with Rainbow Bubblegum and Sticky Fig & Honeycomb ice cream 

Waffle basket with Macadamia and Pistachio ice cream! 

And again.. I think I found my new favourite ice cream flavour!! Yes yes, I know I said that when I first tried pistachio ice cream.. but the Sticky Fig & Honeycomb was.. just.. soooo... arghhh!!! It was heaven!!!  It tasted a lot better than my nutty flavoured ice cream that I had always tried! 

Spring tutorial!

Good morning everyone!!

Had you check out my Spring tutorial look yet? It was inspired by my summer blanket that my Dad had gotten me a few years back! And yes, I know the camera angle is not the best, I am working on getting a mini tripod over the weekends! Woooot! How exciting, I can't wait until I be able to show you guys a better view when doing my tutorials! 

Michael Kors Hamilton Satchel DUPE

Good afternoon everyone,

I had delayed this post for soo long now and I have no idea why! About a two to three months ago, my friend and I decided to head into the city and look for a handbag since I had been on a hunt for one for quite some time now. As we entered David Jones, the first thing that caught my eyes were the French Connection handbag that was displayed high on the shelves. And what do you know? It looks almost identical to the Michael Kors Hamilton Satchel bag! (I do not own the MK bag to compare it to so please refer the images on the link provided)

The comparison
French Connection: Mini Hayden pleather handbag - $99.95
Michael Kors Hamilton Satchel - $298.00

• The design of the padlock and the strap that it sits on are different
• FC handbag is bigger in size
• The straps on FC is longer
• The material: pleather vs leather
• Interior design: Black/tan vs cream/beige
• FC has an extra two open pockets 

I am soooooo glad my friend convinced me to go ahead with this purchase. The only thing I would wish is it to be a little bit bigger so I can fit my 13" Macbook Pro inside it, instead of carrying it around separately. But the fact that I got complemented on it while shopping just makes it that much worth it!

What are your thoughts on designer dupes?

Sydney International Spa & Beauty Expo

Good evening guys,

On Monday, I had an exciting opportunity to attend the Sydney International

Spa & Beauty Expo. As it was my first time at this kind of event, I was a little confused on what to expect, especially with the prices! I went in and told myself that I had a $100 budget but at the end of the day, I went over by $0.85 (plus $1 that they accidentally charged me) which was not that bad!

Here is my haul video!
