Winter Wonderland

Today was the first day of Winter for us Australians. It's not quite like the Northern Hemisphere Winter but believe it or not we do actually get snow in some parts of Australia. Unfortunately, we don't in Sydney but they do in the Blue Mountains in the really cool winters, which is only about 2 hours west of Sydney. I personally love Winter - the boots, scarfs, woollen coats, fur, hot chocolate with marshmallows, homemade soup and rugging-up by a heater or fire. I don't think I'll be hitting the slopes this year but I would sure love to. Even though I went snowboarding year after year at Perisher (one of the Australian snowfield),  and have been to Europe, America & Canada in the Winter, I still get extremely excited whenever I see snow! I especially love a white Christmas and the magical atmosphere that comes with it. Everything just looks so beautiful covered in fresh white flakes of snow :) 

 Oh I get so excited about rugging-up in fur whether real or faux!

 Sure the traditional winter fur boots & knit sweater may be a little kitsch but I can't help love them :)

A atriz alemã, que é namorada do ator Joshua Jackson, se mostrou empolgada com a nova fragrância: "É uma uma fragrância com um toque sofisticado. Com muito frescor. A minha pele fica com um aroma de almíscar. O meu namorado aprovou!"

The german actress, who is the girlfriend of the actor Joshua Jackson was very excited about the new fragrance:  "It's a very sophisticated fragrance. A very fresh spicy scent - on my skin it becomes very musky, says Kruger. "It is definitely boyfriend-approved!"

Reopening of Soho Chanel Store

As Mademoiselle Coco once said, "In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different". Well Chanel has done just that with the reopening of its Soho store. The label known for its refined style, tweed coats, two-tone ballet flats and 2.55 quilted bags has gone for the rock chic look - lots of leather, lace and transferable tats. Not to mention an uber cool following of A-Listers including Diane Kruger, Abbey Lee, Natasha Poly, Alexa Chung, Erin Wasson and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld. Mr Lagerfeld has done it again! A creepy, yet incredibly talented man.

The Met Ball is my favourite red carpet event of the year because the outfits are so much more creative and daring than the award ceremonies. The guestlist list also makes it more interesting with a mix of actors, models, designers, magazine editors etc. This year nude, floor-sweeping gowns seem to be the go. I personally love the colour and it has inspired me to wear to the colour more often. My favourite look has to be Anne Hatheway in Valentino. She looks incredibly elegant. The contrast of the glitzy ball gown with the simple hair, make-up and jewellery is just fabulous. The best dressed model has to be Rosie Huntington-Whitely also wearing a nude gown, surprisingly with a leather belt, but it works well. Another one of my favourites is Sienna Miller in the inky blue "mullet dress" by Stella McCartney. Her hair looks fantastic and Jude Law is an excellent accessory too!
