Much Love Monday: July 18, 2011

Happy Monday my friends! :) Thanks for writing to me, and liking my page on Facebook! I even got a nice email. Shucks!

Here's what I love this week:

1. "Secret" menu-
Okay, I'm really looking forward to going back home to good old West Coast, USA! Las Vegas.
If you've ever had the pleasure of eating at In N' Out Burger, they serve the most amazing grilled cheese sandwiches. And if you're
"in-the-know," you can get it "animal style" which is basically grilled onions with a special thousand-island like sauce! You can even get animal style fries w/ cheese! It's not on the menu board, but trust me, they will know what you are asking for.


Photos from Here! & Here!
Yum. Yum. Yum. I will probably ask my brothers to take me straight there after they pick me up from the airport.

2. This dress:

I have major dress envy! From here


Also,
Vern posted the rest of her Gossip Girl styled photoshoot.

I'm also visiting Portland, OR for the first time ever! Do you have any suggestions of things to see, places to eat, shop etc?

WIWT: Wellington Part Five...Cable Cars, City Views, Walks & Beehive

On our last day in Wellington, we soaked up as much of the city as we could.
This was my second time there, and we were fortunate to finally ride the Cable Car which overlooks the city with stunning views!
Remember: Wellington, New Zealand! You must visit this place if you're ever down here.














We took a stroll along the botanical garden and cemetery.

This look was inspired by an old Vogue 2006 photoshoot with Nicole Kidman. I've always remembered (& loving) her styling, and these boots/sweater have always reminded me of her!

Wellington Part Four: Dancing & Cityscapes

Thanks for looking at all my Wellington blog entries. I know it's photo overload, but there's so much to see in Welly! I have one more post after this, and it'll document what I wore.

Continuing on...after the party in Newtown, Chris' friends Jared & Luella picked us up much later, and we went dancing for a couple hours at Mighty Mighty. If you love dancing and indie/new wave music, this is the place! I had so much fun. I haven't danced like that in ages.





I don't even know who this guy is or how this got started, but he posed for me! HAHAHA! He was really nice, and then he grabbed his friends to also join him :)




After dancing, we had a late night kebab stop (vege for us!). Chris' old flatmate Hans was insanely hilarious. He pulled breath mints out of the inside of his coat, like it was a magic trick!




The next day we walked around the city for a bit and had tea/coffee with Andrew & Fiona.

Much Love (belated) Monday: July 11,2011

A bit late but better late than never :)

1. I love this look from Drowning Equilibrium's Aisa Paxie



2. Good girl friends! Next month, I'm finally going to catch up with my crazy crassy good old girl friends from back home. I get the luxury of seeing them once a year. *Sob*




3. The mix my friend LSL made for me!
I'm loving Chikita Violenta & Best Coast
