D.A.BEAU

Hello once again! I am back with another post in collaboration with DaBeau. If you don't already know,  DaBeau is a leather bag company from China that carries the cutest bags that are such good quality. All the bags featured in this post are from DaBeau. 

Anyway, let's start off with my favourite piece from DaBeau. This little messenger bag has such a beautiful floral print. The print is quite large, but at the same time, it is not really loud or in your face, making it the perfect statement piece. The gold chain also adds an extra touch of elegance to it.

This is the bag you would want to take on lazy days where you just wanna throw on something simple. Even with just a white t-shirt and light-washed jeans, this bag will just amp up your outfit and make you look very put-together.

This next messenger bag is simple, yet so stunning because of the somewhat pastel yellow shade that really catches the eye. It is such a pretty shade of yellow that is not too bright but not too dull either. Again, this piece would make a statement out of a simple get up, but ever so subtly because of it's simple design. It would make such a cute bag to take to a brunch date or even to a wedding.

Next up, is this super adorable baby pink messenger bag. The colour of this piece makes it so versatile to style. It goes so well with both light and dark coloured clothes. This bag will again, compliment light-washed or white denim jeans. It also goes so well with navy coloured clothes. Here,  I paired it with my navy slacks to make the baby pink stand out.

This fourth piece is your classic nude. What can I say? This bag is a closet staple. Every girl needs a nude colour bag. Ahahaha I know I do. Nude has been such a popular colour over the past few years. Nude lips, nails, shoes and of course, bags. It is just so easy to style because it is a very versatile colour. This piece is great for those uni days where you just need a notebook and a couple pens for class. Or even if you're an Ipad kinda girl, you could throw in your tech and your daily essentials and you'll be good to go.  This is the perfect everyday bag that adds a sprinkle of classiness to your outfit.

Sunday Brunch Uniform // OOTD

Hello friends, the most awkward poser is back on style report for Sunday brunch. HAHAH :') 

Please excuse the inconsistent photo quality, I kept switching between my phone and my Samsung camera. Oddly enough, my phone actually takes better pictures.  I went to Freo with a bunch of friends to brunch at Bread in Common, but it was very dark inside where we sat so I couldn't take any decent pictures of our food. I tried the mango, white chocolate and yoghurt mousse with pineapple sorbet. And it was so bomb. I wished the lighting was good enough so that i can show you how pretty it looked because it tastes as good as it looks. 

 Anyway, if you were my friend, you would know that I wasn't a fan of the choker trend when it became popular last year. And yes, your girl has hopped onto the choker bandwagon just last week. Maybe because my boyfriend really likes it, or maybe because it makes an outfit look edgier, or maybe its Maybelline. I don't know but something about it makes me really like it after I tried one on and I have been wearing it quite often the past week. Today, I layered it with my silver cross necklace from Tiffany&Co and paired it with my floral top from Zara. The floral print and bell sleeves give off a very feminine vibe while the choker and my black high waisted jeans inject the edginess.

Post Exam Retail Therapy // OOTD

scarf: Dotti

shoes: Rubi

Just a really simple outfit I put together for a day out with my girl Kim. Exams were finally over and the end of financial year sales were just starting. So we decided to have a girls' day out and went all out on shopping. ( I shall do a separate haul post ). I finally had some alone time with this girl. Our lives had just been so crazy due to school and we never have time to hang out apart from recess and lunch breaks during school. BUT YEY SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO COME OUT WITH ME :D

We went to Zen Saki for lunch because Kim was craving ramen but we couldn't be bothered waiting at Nao. Zen Saki is affordable and delectable but stuff on the sushi train is extremely pricey. well, in my opinion at least. But food from the lunch menu is pretty oishii hahah.  I love love love the terriyaki chicken udon. For only $12.50, the portion is pretty decent. And the udon is cooked consistently to a chewy texture. Never fails me. However, I decided to go with the salmon don because I've had too much noodles the past week.  Again, the portion was decent.  I had 7 slices of raw salmon and alot, alot of rice. 

Ultimate ramen $15

Salmon Sashimi Don $15

Typika Artisan Roasters // Review

Again, another gorgeous weather for brunching today. It's the first time brunching I'm with Johnson as I go to school on weekdays and he works on the weekends. Since we both are on study break, we decided to head down to Claremont to try out the ever so popular brunch spot, Typika Artisan Roasters. 

Spiced Beef Benedict $20

My boyfriend went with the slow cooked spiced beef on toast served with two poached eggs and harissa hollandaise.  I had a bite of it and oh damn it was good. The beef was so soft and I love the combination of hollandaise and spices.

Beef Cheek Croquettes $23.50

I was really hungry and I wanted something that would fill me up. And let me tell you, this dish may look tiny,  but looks can be deceiving. This was so so so filling. I was full after eating half of it. And trust me, I have a very big appetite. This was pressed beef cheeks and shredded potato croquette, served with wilted spinach, a poached egg and herbed mustard hollandaise. I absolutely loved everything about this dish and I devoured all of it even though I was full half way through. The spinach complimented the beef and croquette and has a slight garlic taste to it. Again, the beef was really soft. The croquette was the best part of the dish I must say. Because it is made from shredded potatoes instead of mashed ones, it tasted like hash browns, but better. It is crips on the outside and soft inside. And the poached egg and hollandaise just ties everything together and oh I loved how everything just melts in my mouth. 

I would absolutely recommend you guys to try out Typika Artisan Roasters. The staff are so friendly and it wasn't a very long wait for the food. Though it was pretty crowded when we got there, and we had to wait for about ten minutes for a table. But it was all worth it when the food came.

The Modern Eatery // Review

The weather was so gorgeous on Wednesday. But it was slightly more chilly than I expected. Thank God my boyfriend wore a jumper ahaha. (yes I stole his jumper). 

So, to satisfy my jap cravings, I decided to go try out Modern Eatery with a couple of friends from badminton. 

Modern Eatery, located in Fremantle, is a newly opened Japanese restaurant in March, best known for their Aburi Sushi (a method of light searing with a blow torch). The waiters were extremely friendly and the restaurant offered separate billing, which I thought was extremely convenient when eating with a group of friends. 

124 High St Fremantle, WA 6160

Salmon Oshi Sushi $16 | Signature Combo $23

Oshi Sushi is a traditional style of sushi, where the rice is pressed into box-like pieces. The salmon oshi sushi was served with aburi mayo and a capsicum garnish.

The Signature combo consists of 2 ebi (prawn) oshi sushi and salmon oshi sushi,  a salmon, tuna and hotate (scallop) aburi nigiri.

Fry Me To The Moon. $15

This was one of their most popular dish. Not only it has an interesting name, but a twist to the traditional sushi that we usually eat. Fry Me To The Moon consists of cooked salmon and cream cheese fried with breadcrumbs served with sweet chilli mayo and sweet soy.

Kamikaze Roll. $12

 Slightly similar to the California roll, the Kamikaze roll consists of Prawn tempura, shredded crab meat and avocado served with aburi sauce and masago (roe, fish eggs).

This was my favourite dish but unfortunately, the serving size was too small.  

Overall, the service was good and the interior of the restaurant was nice, but I personally think that the portions at Modern Eatery are too small for the price we are paying. $70 worth of food was not filling enough for my boyfriend and I. My friends were also still hungry after eating, so we walked down to Cicerello's to have fish and chips.

There was a petting farm outside Cicerello's!

And that was the end of our little food adventure in Fremantle :)

Good Bye Summer // OOTD

Here's my really quick outfit that I put together for church today.  Since summer is now gone, I decided to ensemble a summery outfit before it gets too cold to do so. But who am I kidding. It's Perth, never too cold ahahah. 

I paired this chiffon floral top with white denim shorts as I was aiming for a feminine look. This is actually the only blue top I own. No joke hahah. I then matched my outfit with this little orange bag to give it a pop of colour on the bottom half of my body as I was wearing a pair of white shoes. I also think the orange really compliments the blue top that I'm wearing. 

And this is one of my sisters, Ning. She's 13, but her mind's 24 ahaha. She's the sister who is always.. okay, not always... maybe sometimes... giving me advices and telling to do the right things. She can also be a real pain in the buttocks at times but she's a very good listener and I love her <3 

Faith if you are reading this, I love you too <3
