Travel: Sydney in Snapshots

The view of the Haymarket from our hotel. 

As you know by now, I spent this weekend in Sydney with my Boyfriend. We stayed in the Haymarket area, which is essentially Chinatown, and quite seriously my favourite place in Sydney. The following is a collection of snapshots from our weekend away.

Daily Outfit: Kimber Lane, Chinatown

Today the boyfriend and I slept in and then went out exploring Chinatown and the surrounding area. I dragged him down several alleyways over the course of the weekend so that I could photograph various bits of graffitti, and he patiently took these outfit shots for me today too in Kimber Lane. I've been intrigued by the murals and suspended lighting in Kimber Lane for a while now, but I've never gotten the chance to photograph the murals during the day. The laneway made an awesome backdrop for today's outfit shots.

Travel: Weekend in Sydney

I'm really stoked to be off to Sydney for the weekend with the Boyfriend today. We're staying right in the center of my favourite part of Sydney, the Haymarket. I love China Town and I can wander around for hours, so it is a realt treat for this little Gwei Lo. We've got a lot of eating activities planned, and not much else, but I will get to catch up with a few girlfriends, and most importantly spend some quality time with the Boyfriend before he's away for the next two weeks for work.

Shopping: Sydney with the Pragettes

So, this weekend past I spent in Sydney, shopping until my bank account all but bled. I came away with the following loot and a greater sense of how my desired wardrobe aestetic might actually look and feel. I also returned home yesterday and positively GUTTED my wardrobe! I'm throwing out roughly half of what I own, in order to clear a path for the new direction I'm moving in. I probably should have purchased a few 'building block' pieces first, but oh well, what's done is done and all that.
Anyhow, here is what I bought...

Travel: Pragettes do Sydney

I spent this past weekend in Sydney with the Pragettes (Mags and Meags), shopping, eating, and generally making a nuisance of ourselves.

We sampled delights at the Chinatown night markets and at Adriano Zumbo's dessert train, discovered the delight of EasyWay's iced watermelon frappe, and had an exceptional dinner at Din Tai Fung.

We spent almost an entire 24-hour period shopping, resulting in 13 new additions to my wardrobe, which I will shortly be detailing here on the Blog.

After Mags was mauled by an enormous, blue, plush bear, we had hilarious photo booth stickers taken which now reside proudly in my agenda.

And, most importantly, we had the opportunity to just hang out and act like the socially awkward freaks that we are.
