The Travel Diaries - Koh Samui

Koh Samui translated = safe haven.

It also translates to = little slice of ocean paradise. Eating breakfast with this view is something I could get accustomed too.


Just another day in paradise...


Bartering is fun - kind of got addicted to it - note to self: don't try it in Australia though. 


The streets of the island.


Nomad with wanderlust. 




The beautiful Namuang 1 waterfall
 

While it may still be deemed to touristy by some ... I thought it was the perfect mix. White sand, blue water and mouth-watering food. 


Verdict? Well I'm returning there so it mustn't have been too bad.

The Fashion Diaries - Alexander Wang Fall 2012

Who else is excited about Alexander Wang's Fall 2012 Collection? 




Full of shiny leather and woollen trench coats, this collection has me excited for a drop in temperature so I can snuggle into turtlenecks and throw on a coat reporter/detective style.




Even better, you can buy online at THECORNER.COM - Alexander Wang express post please!

The Travel Diaries - Singapore

Now I officially have the bug; the travel bug. 


Before the end of last year I was one of those rare sorts who had not yet ventured out of the Great Southern Land.

This all changed when South East Asia became an option.

What else could open my eyes to a different culture and way of life than the continent of Asia? 
My first taste was the humidity of Singapore.






The air was thick and damp as soon as I took a step off the plane. 

It felt as if someone had thrown a blanket of sticky warmth over my head. 

The city is filled with beautiful gardens and a welcome cleanliness and decorations for Christmas and the New Year adorned every visible space. 






Yes, the shopping is ridiculously good.

Black, sequin brogues from Zara - on sale. Uh yes please!



Escape to the Botanical gardens - a jungle getaway in the midst of the city.






A place you literally get taken to another world.







See the light shine through.










Conclusion? Singapore = beauty. Definitely need more than one night there.
