Ola! It's been a while since I last dropped by the blogosphere so to get the ball rollin' again, I thought it would only be fitting to round up my favourites for the Autumn season dawning upon us (down under!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>1. Cape Dresses and chokers</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Autumn is that awkward in-between season when you can't really guess which way the weather will sway. If you're in need of a little black dress without the need to lug around a jacket or shawl in case the cold front hits - it's cape time! A cape perfectly hugs the shoulders to keep you warm yet fashionably chic. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
To add a bit more warmth and edge to your outfit, try finding a fabric that matches your dress colour to create your own fabric choker. There's no need to spend extra $$ on the current season's choker dress (which I'm sure many of you have seen!), I've simply repurposed an old waist tie to transform my <a href="http://www.tobi.com/product/60462-tobi-in-too-deep-cape-bodycon-dress?color_id=86795">Tobi - In Too Deep dress</a> from classic to now. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tobi.com/product/60462-tobi-in-too-deep-cape-bodycon-dress?color_id=86795"><img alt=" photo IMG_1983a_zpsfqeoomos.jpg" border="0" src="http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad264/annienguyen_/IMG_1983a_zpsfqeoomos.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wearing: <a href="http://www.tobi.com/product/60462-tobi-in-too-deep-cape-bodycon-dress?color_id=86795">Tobi - In Too Deep Dress</a>, TOD's Double T Bag<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>2. Crossbody Bags</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Summer is totes the season for large totes but fall is the perfect time to whip out the crossbody bags. My favourite this season is the <a href="http://www.tods.com/en_ww/">TOD's Double T Bag </a>in suede - a great fabric contrast to the usual poly and cotton that will start to pop up as the seasons change. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.tods.com/en_ww/">TOD's Double T Bag</a> is inspired from the seventies with a removable strap to double as a clutch (a simple trick to take your bag from day to night with your outfit!) </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tods.com/en_ww/">TOD's Double T Bag</a><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>3. Lace Ups and Bell Sleeves </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now, I was going to do separate posts for lace up dresses/tops and bell sleeves until I found the two in one from <a href="http://www.tobi.com/product/60544-tobi-laced-up-high-shift-dress?color_id=86941" style="text-align: center;">Tobi's Lace Up High Shift Dress</a>. Need I say more?</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>4. If you must tote! </b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For the days when you need a bit extra bag room, the<a href="http://www.cosette.com.au/"> Celine Luggage Tote</a> is my baby this season. It's structured and work friendly but dressy enough for date night.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If you would like to see this baby in person before purchasing, I would definitely recommend popping by the <a href="http://www.cosette.com.au/">Cosette </a>store located at the rocks, right near the Museum of Contemporary Arts. They have a beautiful collection of brand new designer bags from past and present seasons and are my new go-to for designer goods. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Alas, my final tech review of 2015: <a href="https://www.asus.com/au/2-in-1-PCs/ASUS_Transformer_Book_Flip_TP200SA/">The ASUS Transformer Book Flip TP200 </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For someone who is constantly in a hurry (....to blog in between Netflix binges and selfies) and who doesn't like to be tied to a desk, I'm always on the lookout for an affordable, every day, 2-in-1 device that easily slips into my bag and seamlessly slips into my schedule. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As of late, the <a href="https://www.asus.com/au/2-in-1-PCs/ASUS_Transformer_Book_Flip_TP200SA/">ASUS Transformer Book Flip TP200 </a>has ticked all the right boxes! So I'm excited to share with you today my pros and cons on this potential candidate for 'last minute gift idea'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For $349, the <a href="https://www.asus.com/au/2-in-1-PCs/ASUS_Transformer_Book_Flip_TP200SA/">ASUS Transformer TP200</a> is definitely on the affordable end of the spectrum. But I guess price doesn't equate to much until you run through the pros and cons, so here they are!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Pros</b></div>
<ul>
<li><b>Lightweight and compact: </b>The <a href="https://www.asus.com/au/2-in-1-PCs/ASUS_Transformer_Book_Flip_TP200SA/">ASUS Transformer </a>is a feather-light 1.2kg and size-wise it's smaller than an A4 paper. I've had no problems with slipping this straight into envelope clutch or propping this on top of my home gym bench to watch workout videos.</li>
<li><b>Attractive Exterior:</b> It comes with a beautiful brushed aluminium and scratch resistant exterior available in a la couture Dark Blue and Crystal Silver.</li>
</ul>
<a href="http://s942.photobucket.com/user/annienguyen_/media/Screen%20Shot%202015-12-21%20at%2010.44.00%20PM_zpsfcbgtlwh.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Screen Shot 2015-12-21 at 10.44.00 PM_zpsfcbgtlwh.png" border="0" src="http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad264/annienguyen_/Screen%20Shot%202015-12-21%20at%2010.44.00%20PM_zpsfcbgtlwh.png" height="296" width="640" /></a>
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li><b>360 degree flexible hinge: </b>This allows you to flip the tablet into tent mode to watch presentations, movies and videos and flip it back to tablet mode for the more heavy handed tasks.</li>
<li><b>Great battery life: </b>Battery life is usually the gripe that I have with most tablet and laptop devices but the <a href="https://www.asus.com/au/2-in-1-PCs/ASUS_Transformer_Book_Flip_TP200SA/">ASUS Transformer </a>can last 8 hours on a 38 watt-hour battery without a charger... pretty impressive!</li>
<li><b>USB Type-C port:</b> Along with the 2 standard USB ports, the ASUS Transformer is equipped with a USB Type-C port, the all-in-one connector everybody needs.</li>
<li><b>Mini-HDMI</b></li>
<li><b>MicroSD Card Reader</b></li>
<li><b>Touchscreen: </b>With 2 x sensitivity, 10 fingers multi-touch and it also recognises the difference between fingers and palms. The size of the touchpad is also noticeably larger than the standard tablet pad for ease of reach.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div>
<b>Cons</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b>No backlight:</b> The keyboard can be a bit hard to navigate if you plan to use this in the dark. However, I'm quite a decent touch typer and I haven't had any issues using this in my room before hitting the hay.</li>
<li><b>Brightness: </b>The maximum brightness of the <a href="https://www.asus.com/au/2-in-1-PCs/ASUS_Transformer_Book_Flip_TP200SA/">ASUS Transformer </a>is 256 lux (the higher-end notebooks are at least 300 lux). Although, for the price of the <a href="https://www.asus.com/au/2-in-1-PCs/ASUS_Transformer_Book_Flip_TP200SA/">ASUS Transformer</a>, this is quite decent!</li>
<li><b>Webcam quality:</b> I haven't had a real need to use the webcam but I guess it's good to note that the quality of the camera is just standard for a tablet. Nothing high def but not bad at all. </li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<b>Conclusion: </b></div>
<div>
Overall, the <a href="https://www.asus.com/au/2-in-1-PCs/ASUS_Transformer_Book_Flip_TP200SA/">ASUS Transformer TP200</a> packs a tonne of value for its size and cost. With it's super extended battery life, ease of portability and the amazing flip screen, it makes for a great travel companion and will last you through that dreaded 8 hour flight you have planned over the holidays. </div>

Active Skin. <a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/"><img alt=" photo anniepopselfie2 copyss_zpsdki4hzrq.jpg" border="0" src="http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad264/annienguyen_/anniepopselfie2%20copyss_zpsdki4hzrq.jpg" height="300" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
<div>
As someone who is constantly on the go, I find it hard to make the time for beauty sleep, let alone, shopping for beauty essentials. I made it my mission to find an online store that would stock all of my most coveted items and deliver them straight to my door at an affordable price... lo and behold, I discovered <a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/">ActiveSkin</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So today I thought I would round up my three must haves from <a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/">ActiveSkin </a>and my experience with each of the products.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/lancome-bi-facil-125ml"><img alt=" photo Lancome Bi Facil_zpsl1ybqrah.png" border="0" src="http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad264/annienguyen_/Lancome%20Bi%20Facil_zpsl1ybqrah.png" height="200" width="98" /></a> </div>
<b>1. <a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/lancome-bi-facil-125ml">Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover </a></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When it comes to your skin, you've got to strip down to the bare layers and start with a clean base which means a thorough makeup remover routine is essential. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've switched between various makeup cleansers, micellar solutions and wipes and I still always come back to my first favourites, the <a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/lancome-bi-facil-125ml">Lancome Bi-Facil eye makeup remover.</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The <a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/lancome-bi-facil-125ml">Bi-Facil makeup remover</a> is Lancome's Award Winning phenomenon. It's made of a bi-phase formula consisting of a lipid phase to lift off all eye makeup and a water phase to wipe the skin without leaving a greasy residue. I've been using this for years now and it works like an absolute breeze on even my most water-resistant makeup without leaving an oily residue or causing irritation. As a regular makeup wearer, I can say one bottle lasts me about 8 months which means a little goes a long way!</div>
<div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/clinique-anti-blemish-solutions-3-step-system"><img alt=" photo Clinique Anti Blemish_zpsbqky0bho.png" border="0" src="http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad264/annienguyen_/Clinique%20Anti%20Blemish_zpsbqky0bho.png" height="152" width="200" /></a> </div>
<b>2. <a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/clinique-anti-blemish-solutions-3-step-system">Clinique's 3 Step Anti-Blemish Solution </a></b></div>
<div>
I first discovered this anti-blemish solution system while visiting Singapore. I had a base case of "travel skin" which meant that my skin was reacting negatively to the climate change. I went to my closest beauty supplier to ask for the fastest and most effective treatment for my red spots and blemishes and was recommended this <a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/clinique-anti-blemish-solutions-3-step-system">3 step system</a>. It was their best seller at the time and after the first few days of using the system I could definitely tell why. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The<a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/clinique-anti-blemish-solutions-3-step-system"> 3 step system </a>consisted of a cleansing foam, clarifying lotion and all-over clearing treatment. I used this on my dry, clean face after removing all my makeup and after my first week I noticed my red spots had visibly reduced and my skin tone was starting to even out on my cheeks. I've been eager to restock on this ever since.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/lancome-advanced-genifique-30ml"><img alt=" photo Lancome Genifique_zps3lthmuao.png" border="0" src="http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad264/annienguyen_/Lancome%20Genifique_zps3lthmuao.png" height="200" width="94" /></a> </div>
<b>3. <a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/lancome-advanced-genifique-30ml">Lancome Advance Genifique</a></b></div>
<div>
After removing my makeup and keeping my skin clarity under control, I help my skin repair itself at night with the <a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/lancome-advanced-genifique-30ml">Advanced Genifique by Lancome</a>. This serum is made to target fine lines and deep wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and tonicity leaving you with firmer, younger looking skin. I also find it perfect to target dry skin in Winter and I have some friends that can vouch for the <a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/lancome-advanced-genifique-30ml">Genifique </a>after seeing improvements in their acne scars.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is an incredibly powerful serum which is applied using a dropper tool. I generally only use one drop to massage over my face and neck before I go to sleep. When using any serum, the key to activating its ingredients is to massage it into your skin so be sure not to miss out on this step! However, I do find that this serum absorbs quite quickly into the skin so it shouldn't take you too long to massage it into your desired areas before bed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you enjoyed my round up of the three must haves from <a href="http://www.activeskin.com.au/">ActiveSkin</a>. These are products I've used for many years and have grown to love so I hope you love them too! If you have any thoughts or comments, I would love to hear from you below. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Have an amazing day! </div>

Edifier Spinnaker Speakers $299AUD</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
My dad is not much of a technology buff but he has recently developed a fondness for the iPad ever since he we introduced him to a video streaming app with all his favourite shows. This year I thought I would give him an early Father's Day Surprise with stylish new speakers and the <a href="http://www.edifier.com/au/en/">Edifier Spinnaker Speakers </a>seemed to do the trick!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s942.photobucket.com/user/annienguyen_/media/Screen%20Shot%202015-07-22%20at%2010.33.38%20PM_zps9gtb5n64.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Screen Shot 2015-07-22 at 10.33.38 PM_zps9gtb5n64.png" border="0" src="http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad264/annienguyen_/Screen%20Shot%202015-07-22%20at%2010.33.38%20PM_zps9gtb5n64.png" height="286" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
These wireless speakers can be linked to your PCs or TVs for amazing amplification and are controlled by a wireless domed remote which can be recharged via USB. They're amazingly easy to use and are a sure conversation starter as home decor. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s942.photobucket.com/user/annienguyen_/media/edifier_spinnaker-11_zps73vyf8n8.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo edifier_spinnaker-11_zps73vyf8n8.jpg" border="0" src="http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad264/annienguyen_/edifier_spinnaker-11_zps73vyf8n8.jpg" height="640" width="640" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When watching movies at home, my dad is all about the "full theatre experience" which means the popcorn gets popped, the lights are turned down and the volume is set for impact. With the <a href="http://www.edifier.com/au/en/">Spinnaker Edifier Speakers</a>, the click of James Bond's gun has never been crisper. Needless to say, dad seemed very impressed with his new digital sound processing technology!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So if you're stuck for gifts this Father's Day and you know dad would appreciate some family movie time around the TV or smooth music for the house when he needs down time, I would definitely recommend the <a href="http://www.edifier.com/au/en/">Spinnaker Edifier speakers.</a><br />

<a href="http://s942.photobucket.com/user/annienguyen_/media/Nude%20by%20Nature%20Boohoo%20_zpsncopog6l.png.html" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Nude by Nature Boohoo _zpsncopog6l.png" border="0" src="http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad264/annienguyen_/Nude%20by%20Nature%20Boohoo%20_zpsncopog6l.png" height="615" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If I could switch wardrobes with anyone in the world, it would definitely be Olivia Palermo. I love her understated style and her taste for timeless, chic and most importantly <i>comfortable </i>pieces. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She constantly redefines the "new basics" and I'm here to share with you today, the top Palermo staples of the season (inspired from the million screenshots I've taken of Olivia throughout my recent Pinterest and Instagram ventures) without the socialite price tag. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s942.photobucket.com/user/annienguyen_/media/Olivia%20Palermo%20Inspiration_zpsg7mbt895.jpg.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;" target="_blank"><img alt=" photo Olivia Palermo Inspiration_zpsg7mbt895.jpg" border="0" src="http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad264/annienguyen_/Olivia%20Palermo%20Inspiration_zpsg7mbt895.jpg" height="640" width="582" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boohoo.com/all-coats/libby-shawl-collar-belted-coat/invt/azz06498">1. Libby Shawl Collar Belted Coat by Boohoo.com $50.00 </a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Every closet needs a neutral shawl collar coat which can be tied and fitted during the colder seasons or draped over the shoulders during the warmer seasons. The minimalistic element of the<a href="http://www.boohoo.com/all-coats/libby-shawl-collar-belted-coat/invt/azz06498"> Libby Shawl Coat</a> by <a href="http://boohoo.com/">Boohoo</a> comes from its non existent buttons which doesn't give the coat an expiry date. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Sometimes small features like the type or placement of buttons on a coat can take it from chic to shabby as the trends change. By stripping back on the details, this ensures that your staple coat will always be the "new basic"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Olivia will tend to choose oversized coats with small or simple details that bring her outfit together without being too over the top. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boohoo.com/new-in/leila-longline-shirt/invt/dzz98163">2. Leila Longline Shirt by Boohoo.com $30</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
No wardrobe would be complete without a white button up shirt. If you're stuck between deciding which shirt you need, my advice would be to opt for the 3/4 sleeve which is great throughout all seasons. Choose a light and breathable fabric which will allow you to add layers underneath or over the top without feeling like the Michelan Man. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
During Winter, Olivia can be sported layering wools and knits over her white tops which is a great way to warm up your Spring/Summer wardrobe and get the most use out of your classic white! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boohoo.com/new-in/lara-high-rise-super-skinny-indigo-tube-jeans/invt/azz10869">3. Lara High Rise Indigo Tube Jeans by Boohoo.com $38</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I used to steer very clear from jeans. I could never find a pair that complemented my body shape and height, until I found the Lara High Rise Indigo Jeans. These jeans feel like a second skin and hugs me in all the right places which makes it perfect for my pear shaped body. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Olivia can often be spotted in a pair of jeans on her on and off duty days. They are a great casual companion and dress it up in heels, a lipstick colour and a clutch and you'll instantly take your outfit from day to night. Hmmm... I now definitely see the appeal in jeans!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boohoo.com/diana-turtle-neck-cable-crop-jumper/invt/azz14039">4. Diana Turtle Neck Cable Crop Jumper by Boohoo.com $30</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Find yourself a good knit and you'll feel like you're wearing a comfy pair of pyjamas in public.. minus the weird stares from onlookers. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although I have picked a turtle neck in this instance (they've been all the rage this season!) I would not look past an oversized cable knit or a poncho which are often sported by Olivia. All of these also go really well over the top of a basic white shirt or if its thick enough, on it's own. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.boohoo.com/new-in-shoes/flora-skinny-strap-mule-sandal/invt/azz06776">5. Flora Skinny Strap Mule by Boohoo.com $40</a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ahhh, yes, the mule!!! FINALLY a pair of heels that don't punish my feet as I walk. I love the ease of slipping on a simple mule and how it ties together an outfit really well. I think every girl has a classic pair of black flats but if you need some extra oomph or just a finishing touch suitable for after work drinks, a black mule is your best bet. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've bought quite a few mules in my time which have ranged from $100 - 250, so I'm super stoked to find a pair of <a href="http://boohoo.com/">Boohoo mules</a> for only $40 *love heart eyes*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So there you go, I hope you've enjoyed this Olivia Palermo post as inspired by <a href="http://boohoo.com/">Boohoo.com</a>. If you haven't yet visited Boohoo and you're in need of a wardrobe haul, I would definitely recommend checking their hundreds of affordable items! There's nothing I love more then finding affordable staples :) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Snow White Statement Necklace but Happiness Boutique, Dress by Bianca Gomez, Candle and Diffuser by Circa Home and Dinner at Est. courtesy of Yumtable</i></div>
<br />
Just before the Antartic Vortex hit Sydney, I was lucky enough to enjoy a beautiful dinner at the revered Est. restaurant by Peter Doyle thanks to Yumtable.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>YumTable</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
YumTable is a great website/app for making restaurant reservations at your favourite dining spots with the convenience of a few clicks on your phone and a discount to your meal! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was my first time (and definitely not last time) using YumTable and it was so incredibly easy to use! I basically searched for restaurants by post code, dining type (breakfast, lunch or dinner) and date and was given a list of recommended restaurants each with a star rating to assist me in narrowing down my options. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After scrolling down my options, I made the decision of dining at Est. and booked a table according to my preferred booking time and party size and it was easy as 1, 2, 3! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Dinner at Est. </b></div>
The Tasting Menu featured a seven course degustation, one of the most well balanced menus I've tasted.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Course 1: Salad of mud crab, piel de sapo melon, creme fraiche, radish, shellfish essence, marigold</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was a light, refreshing, slightly savoury and slightly sweet dish that dances on the palette. A wonderful way to start a degustaton. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Course 2 (option 1): Duck foie gras, almond crumble, grapes, fennel, celery, apple balsamic </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The almond crumble sprinked on the duck foie gras gave this dish an amazing texture! I've always had foie gras with bread but you could very well eat this dish on it's own without overwhelming the taste buds. There was a hint of citrus from the apple balsamic and a hint of sweetness from the grapes, another perfect dish. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Course 2 (option 2): Scampi tartare, oscietra caviar, roast chicken dashi, fried leek, chive oil</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't pick whether the duck foie gras or the scampi tartare was my favourite, both amazing dishes! If you're not one for foie gras, you won't be disappointed with the silky, melt in your mouth tartare. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Course 3: Grilled scallops, bone marrow, pickled onion, potato wafer, parsley, shallot puree</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A well seasoned and enjoyable dish but it was missing a bit of a wow factor. I think Ume definitely beats Est. in the scallops department. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Course 4: Murray cod fillet, shaved abalone, snow peas, black fungi, ginger - green shallott vinaigrette</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is Peter Doyle's signature dish. The cod was cooked to perfection, it was a delicious and delicate dish. This is a very asian inspired dish and kind of reminded me of mum's home cooking (I'm a bit biased when I say this but mum does cook up a mean ginger/lemon grass cod!) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b></b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><b>Course 5: Juniper crusted venison saddle, quince puree, purple carrots, boudin noir</b></b></div>
<b>
</b>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was highly recommended to me by our lovely waitress for the evening. She mentioned it was her favourite dish and I just had to try it. The meat is cooked quite rare (which I love!) but it was a beautiful silky, marble texture and went so well with the quince puree. Again, a perfectly balanced dish with dashes of savoury, sweet and citrus. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b></b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><b>Course 6: Vanilla cream, apple sorbet, shortbread</b></b></div>
<b>
</b>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was an apple pie with a twist! The apple sorbet was tangy but not too sour, it married perfectly with the rich vanilla cream and the crunchy texture of the shortbread crumbs, yum! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Course 7: Coconut sorbet, black sesame, passionfruit curd, pineapple, coconut caramel, tarragon</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This tasted as good as it looked! The coconut piece is made entirely out of coconut sorbet and chocolate so it was all edible and it went so well with the black sesame, pineapple and coconut caramel. Sometimes the passionfruit curd was a bit overwhelming, a little less of that would of made the perfect dish but overall I was very pleased with my dessert (and I'm a huge dessert nazi!!) </div>
<br />
<br />
The night went very smoothly, what a perfect evening! Thank you YumTable and Merivale for a beautiful dinner at Est. A highly recommended degustation for those that are into perfectly balanced meals!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">If you had the chance to design your own piece of jewellery, what would you create? Would it be something that expresses your stand out style or an artful piece to remind you of a special moment in time?</span></div>
<div align="justify" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="justify" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The<a href="http://www.emmaandroe.com.au/s/EmmaRoeAU/"> Emma & Roe</a> Collection by Michael Hill lets you become the designer and create an individually inspired piece to stand out from the rest. Known for their charm bracelets, every girl will be able to find a piece that represents them but with over 680 charms to choose from, building your own charm bracelet for the first time can be a little confusing. </span></div>
<div align="justify" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="justify" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">In case you're not sure where to start, I thought I would share my process with you which hopefully offers a few helpful pointers! </span></div>

In a few hours time I'll be boarding a plane on my way to Shanghai to witness a long and dear friend finally get hitched!!! I can hardly contain my excitement and hopefully I can take a few snaps when I'm overseas and upload my memories along the way.<br />
<br />
Thank you <a href="http://www.shillathelabel.com.au/new-arrivals/shakers-check-oversize-cardi-coat">Shilla the Label </a>for keeping me nice and toasty in this oversized cardi for my trip. It'll be my Shanghai uniform, no doubt!<br />

Keepsake The Label 'Superhuman Top' & 'Just Like Me' Skirt from Sizeable</a></div>
<br />
Have you ever bought something you saw online only to realise that it doesn't look nearly as good on you as it did on the size XXS model wearing it on the website? Well, I'm a self confessed vertically-challenged-and-pear-shaped-shopaholic and I hear ya sista! I love online shopping for its convenience but it's hard to imagine how certain outfits will look on my body shape compared to the tall, leggy blonde who has probably never had to pay for a drink in her life, wearing it in the picture.<br />
<br />
This is why I've come to love <a href="http://www.sizeable.com.au/">Sizeable. Sizeable</a> recognises that all women come in different shapes and sizes, their website features a range of models with different body types wearing clothes available to buy from the <a href="http://www.sizeable.com.au/">Sizeable</a> online store including some of my favourite Australian labels: Ruby Sees All, Keepsake The Label and Black by Geng.<br />
<br />
When shopping on <a href="http://www.sizeable.com.au/">Sizeable</a>, I simply click on <a href="http://www.sizeable.com.au/">"Pick Your Model"</a>, find the model that best fits my body shape (each model even has her own profile and measurements so if you're not sure you can measure yourself and compare it to the model's profile) and for the remainder of my shopping experience, I get to look at realistic representations of how certain outfits would look like on an average gal like me!<br />
<br />
Now THAT is how all online stores should be, don't you think?<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>MeMO Pad 8 by ASUS </b></div>
<br />
So for the past 2 weeks I've been trialling the brand new <a href="http://shop.asus.com/au">MeMO Pad 8 by ASUS. </a>We've had a hell of a ride together and I'm here to tell you all about it!<br />
<br />
<b>I guess I'll start on the positives and give you the pros:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b>Lightweight: </b>I'm always a bit apprehensive to carry tablets in my handbag. I've had my fair share of broken bag handles due to heavy baggage but the <a href="http://shop.asus.com/au">MeMO Pad</a> is extremely lightweight and only 7.45mm thin, I don't feel any added weight in my bag. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders (pun intended).</li>
<li><b>Battery life: </b>After taking the <a href="http://shop.asus.com/au">MeMO Pad </a>with me on a weekend camping trip, I experienced the 9 hour battery life first hand. Needless to say, I'm so excited to take this guy with me on my plan trip to China next month without worrying he will die on me mid flight.</li>
<li><b>Durability: </b>Sooo... when I first brought my cat home, one of our favourite pass times would be playing cat games (yes, there are games you can download for cats) on our tablet. Unfortunately this means I've unintentionally conditioned my furry friend to replace his scratch posts with tablets and yep, you guessed it, I left the <a href="http://shop.asus.com/au">MeMO Pad </a>on the couch and he pounced at the opportunity (literally) and the pad fell to the floor. I haven't had time to grab any protective gear for the pad but was pleasantly surprised to see zero scratches and no screen cracks. <br /><br />ASUS x Corning Gorilla Glass 3 = Winning.</li>
<li><b>Multi-tasking: </b>I'm the type of person that always uses more than 1 device at a time with 10 windows open in each browser and the most irritating thing when multi tasking is lag. The <a href="http://shop.asus.com/au">MeMO Pad </a>has a great dual app function that allows you to use two apps side by side without any lag..perfecto!</li>
<li><b>Camera: </b>The <a href="http://shop.asus.com/au">MeMO Pad </a>features a 5-mega pixel rear facing autofocus camera for digital camera quality images and a 1.2 megapixel front facing camera for clear video chats and selfies -> extremely important of course.</li>
<li><b>Image editing:</b> I'm a self confessed filter fanatic and love editing my photos. Currently my favourite editing apps include: Snapseed, Phonto and Photowonder and the new addition to my list is *drumroll* the ASUS Gallery suite of tools that are standard for every<a href="http://shop.asus.com/au"> MeMO Pad 8, </a>here is just a sample of the built-in features: </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://shop.asus.com/au"><img alt=" photo Screen Shot 2015-03-15 at 8.09.39 PM_zpsiprikla4.png" border="0" src="http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad264/annienguyen_/Screen%20Shot%202015-03-15%20at%208.09.39%20PM_zpsiprikla4.png" height="85" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Amazing right? No need to download any extra editing apps! #ididnotwakeuplikethis </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Music: If you haven't guessed from the my huge headphones, I love listening to music while I work or just frittering away watching music videos. The<a href="http://shop.asus.com/au"> MeMO Pad</a><a href="http://www.asus.com/us/Tablets/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_8_ME181C/"> </a>features dual speakers for the ultimate video music experience, a delight to my eyes and ears! (P.S Have you heard Sam Smith's latest song, Lay Me Down? Just incredible)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Now for the cons: </b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Today was supposed to be an extremely efficient day dedicated to flat lays but as you can probably guess from the mess.. after shooting the <a href="http://shop.asus.com/au">MeMO Pad 8, </a>we kind of became... inseparable. I binged on social media for the rest of the afternoon and as a result = very inefficient flat lay day. I only have the<a href="http://shop.asus.com/au"> MeMO Pad</a><a href="http://www.asus.com/us/Tablets/ASUS_MeMO_Pad_8_ME181C/"> </a>to blame... </li>
</ul>

I didn't think 2015 would be the year of caffeine but with a new product launch, international site launch and company re-branding on my shoulders, it's hard to survive without it.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Unfortunately for me, my new found love has come at the cost of my once pearly whites and I'm now on a mission to get back my great white bite and I thought it would only be fitting to share my journey. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, I started off my quest with a few home remedies for teeth whitening including: using lemon and orange peels, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar and even baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. All of which to no avail. I also felt a slight increase in teeth sensitivity so I figured that some of these methods might not be good for my enamel in the long term. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Which made me realise it was probably best to leave it to the experts! I did a lot of research online and found fantastic reviews and before and afters from successful teeth whitening patients that have been happy with the results from their in-chair treatment at Broadway Dental. Considering I'm turning a year older next week, I felt that clock ticking and decided it was time for a little confidence booster and booked myself in for my own teeth whitening experience. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I was quite surprised at how many questions were asked before I started my treatment (usually its me asking the questions!) Dr Fadi was my dentist and he was genuinely interested to know the exact result I was after and my current knowledge of the teeth whitening treatment and its pros and cons. He talked me through the different options that I had and what results I should expect as well as showed me examples of the brighter shades his previous patients have been able to achieve, if you would like to see them you can view his <a href="http://www.broadwaydental.com.au/gallery/whitening/">smile gallery here</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After checking that I was comfortable with the process, I proceeded to relax in the chair for about 20-30mins as the whitening gel was applied to my teeth. I didn't feel any discomfort or pain during the waiting period, probably because I was feeling cosy in my chair while watching daytime TV as the time flew by. Before I knew it, my session was over and it was time for a rinse! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I couldn't believe how quick the process was and how white my teeth turned out! Dr Fadi and his team definitely underpromised and overdelivered and I couldn't be happier with my no longer coffee-stained white teeth.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall it was a positive, efficient, friendly and affordable experience for fantastic results and I can't wait to visit the team at Broadway Dental again. </div>

Oversized flared sleeves... need I say more.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://stfrock.com.au/shop-by/categories/playsuits/eternal-love-lace-playsuit-in-cream.html">The Eternal Love Lace Playsuit by St Frock </a>has definitely captured my heart. I'm in love with the sweet lacework, the fitted top and flared shorts and sleeves. It's perfectly shaped to give you the illusion of a smaller waist and strong shoulders. I could wear this alllll day ;)<br />

Since love is in the air and date nights are just around the corner, I thought it was only fitting to introduce you to my current lust list which includes delicate and understated jewellery pieces from <a href="http://www.michaelhill.com.au/jewellery/collections/infinitas?fdid=article">Michael Hill's Infinitas collection</a>.<br />
<br />
The word 'infinitas' itself is the Latin word for 'boundlessness', although this can have many interpretations, 'infinitas' and the infinity symbol is conventionally associated with love and devotion and is used to signify eternity, empowerment and everlasting love. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The gorgeous mix of silver and rose gold accents from the Infinitas collection was what first caught my eye, you couldn't go past a store front without having to stop and take a glance. I love the clever placement of the infinity symbols within their understated designs, particularly with the <a href="http://www.michaelhill.com.au/diamond-infinitas-cross-pendant-12635740.html?cgid=jewellery-collections-infinitas">Diamond Infinitas Cross Pendant </a>and inside the intricacies of the cuff weavings.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Personally, I'm happy with any sort of gift, although it may not necessarily need to be jewellery, when it is, I do have a style preference and can be quite picky...so I thought about how difficult it must be for a guy to buy jewellery for his special lady and figured I would dedicate today's post to share some tricks that might give you extra guidance!</div>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<i>Tips for buying jewellery for your lady </i></h4>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For many guys, buying jewellery for a woman can be intimidating. Gifts like jewellery need to speak to a girl's personal tastes and be appropriate for the current stage you are in in your relationship. So if you're stammering down struggle street at the moment and you're thinking of getting her a necklace, ring, cuff or something similar, here are some tips to help you along: </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><b>Do your research and take note:</b> Look through her recent photos either on her Facebook or recent pictures on your phone and get familiar with the accessories she wears. If you do come across some pictures, things to take note of are: Whether or not she likes large statement pieces or subtle delicate pieces, whether she prefers gold, silver, rose gold or pearls, whether she prefers long earrings, short earrings or whether her ears are even pierced etc..</li>
<li><b>Asking for advice: </b>If you have you're not having any luck with point 1 but you do have access to your girlfriend's friend, sister or cousin's contact details handy, ask them for advice. Even if its via Facebook message, if they love her (and they approve of you ;) haha) then they will be more than willing to assist and give you some pointers.</li>
<li><b>Reflect on the occasion and relationship:</b> It's important to know whether or not you're at a point in your relationship where giving jewellery is appropriate. If its still early into the relationship and the occasion is Valentine's Day then its okay to buy jewellery that she could wear during her day-to-day, save that expensive sparkly number for your anniversary. If you've been together for a long time and its her birthday, its probably the right time to spoil her a little and I'm sure she won't mind that promise ring (or any of the items from the Michael Hill Infinitas collection!)</li>
<li><b>Take her for a stroll:</b> And if all else fails, take her for a stroll past a few jewellery stores and see if she stops to comment or look at something, as soon as it catches her eye, that's your excuse to enter the store and take a closer look yourself ;)</li>
</ol>
<div>
So there was my little chit chat for the day, I hope it helps some last minute shoppers and I'll hear from you post Valentine's Day, have a wonderful weekend full of love my loves!!</div>

<br />
The only time I'm okay with orange tones in my hair is when I'm feeling comfortable in a boxy crop top and tall in a pencil front split skirt.<br />
<br />
If you remember the label <a href="http://www.deadivyclothing.com/">Dead Ivy</a> from my previous blog posts, its one of the brands that I've quickly become obsessed with! If you're a close friend or colleague you've probably seen me in in the <a href="http://www.deadivyclothing.com/">Dead Ivy Ever After Frock</a> more times than you can count and that frock is a great example of one of the many reasons why <a href="http://www.deadivyclothing.com/">Dead Ivy </a>has quickly emerged as a favourite - their classic and flattering shapes and easy to wear monochrome.<br />
<br />
I hope you've enjoyed this blog post, stay tuned for tomorrow's Valentine's Day wishlist!!<br />

<br />
I can't believe just how quickly time has gone by. It seemed like yesterday 2015 was knocking on my door and Valentine's Day is now already a few days away. There's been a lot of hustle and bustle at work with a new product launch coming up amidst Valentine's Day preparations and the normal workload and I can't say it doesn't keep the day interesting, but I can say that I cherish my days off just a tad more.<br />
<br />
Today's little throwback twin set is this <a href="http://runaway-the-label.myshopify.com/">Cartel Skirt and Cropped Top by Runaway The Label </a>- great on its own for the days off and drape it with a blazer during your 9 to 5.<br />
<br />
On a separate note, I often find it difficult to walk in midis, well at least gracefully anyway, due to my height (or lack thereof)... so I'm a huge fan of the mesh panelling at the bottom of the midi which gives you a bit of stretch in your stride.<br />

<br />
I remember when I first started blogging about fashion, one of my first posts was about a fringe vest I found in a thrift store that I was in love with. I loved the way it gave your body the illusion of length and the oriental touch it added to kimonos like these.<br />
<br />
Now, if you're vertically challenged like myself and you want to add more 'length' to your body, a simple split maxi skirt will do the trick. Pair these with your fringe kimono and you've got yourself a match made in heaven - no heels needed ;)<br />
