Tea Party At Cristina Re!

by | Feb 19, 2010 | Hime Gyaru, Life, Nails

Recently we held a tea party at the new Cristina Re store and it was so beautifully decorated I couldn’t wait to post the photos!

When we decided to take a trip to Melbourne, the one thing I *really* wanted to do was have a big meet up where I could catch up with all of my blogging friends and everyone else we knew in Melbourne ^_^

SuperKawaiiMama was completely awesome about the idea and organised a tea party for us at the new Cristina Re flagship store. I had only heard of Cristina Re in the sense that she makes the beautiful scrap-booking supplies and stationary and I had no idea that there was a beautiful little cafe attached!

The cafe was decorated with beautiful butterflies:

Everywhere you looked there was something else beautifully presented!

It was quite funny, not many of the people who came had actually met in real life before but I don’t think there was an awkward pause the whole time! We bloggers sure can chat!

There were several yummy teas served that day including mint, lemon, chamomile, fruit and others that I’ve forgotten. We had a lot of fun trying to work out which tea was which because they all came in the same tea pots XD Lucky dip tea!

I was totally jealous of Aurora Hime’snails, they had little bunnies on them!

SuperKawaiiMama, Aurora Himeand I all had crazy nail art on so we had to take group photos 😀

More food… because I just can’t get enough of it! The service at the cafe was really great, and they just kept bringing more tea as we drank it all.

I wanted to take this chandelier home with me!

We had such a wonderful time that day, it was a really lovely introduction to Melbourne and it was great to finally meet some of the people I’ve been chatting online to for years! I can’t wait to go back!!

Thanks so much to everyone who came to have tea with us at the Cristina Re store! <3 <3 <3

Antiquing? Antiqing? How the hell do you spell that?

by | Feb 17, 2010 | Hime Gyaru, Life, Outfit Of The Day

I am still spending much too much time having fun here in Melbourne so I’m going to photo spam your a little bit. I promise there are going to be a bunch of tutorials when I get back so you’ll all just have to put up with it 😀 You guys are totally going to love the photos from the tea party too!

A while ago James and I went antiquing at the Woolloongabba Antiques Center which was a heap of fun!

Basically it’s a gigantic warehouse that has a whole bunch of smaller shops inside it selling all manner of antiques and pretty things.

Here are a few photos from the day!

I spent so much time looking around at everything, I swear I could lose days in antiques stores 😀

DSC_0501_100123_6344 copy

We found some awesome old roller skates that I really wanted to buy!

DSC_0498_100123_6347 copy

So many jewelery display cases, so little time >_<

DSC_0492_100123_6353 copy

There were so many beautiful scarves, I wanted to take them all home!

Bonus picture of the day, at the vintage hair setter 😀

DSC_0494_100123_6351 copyBy the time you’re reading this I’ll probably be on a plane on the way home back to my own bed and back into the swing of normal blogging ^_^
Hopefully we can get back to visit the Woolloongabba Antiques Center again!

Why I love Nuffnang…

by | Feb 13, 2010 | Competition, Hime Gyaru, Life

This Valentines day Nuffnang is giving it’s bloggers a chance to win a $250 gift voucher, so we thought what better way to spend Valentines Day but together attempting to win enough chocolate to keep us happily blogging away for a whole year. And so…

Once upon a time there were two lonely bloggers… they both loved pink and they both loved sparkles, they both loved anything fancy but they lived 1000 miles away from each other 🙁

The distance seemed insurmountable. They would never meet on a train, they would never meet at a supermarket… would their sparkly paths ever cross?

And then along came a little blue man… a Nuffnang man! He left them a little trail of digital bread crumbs to lead them to each other…

The bloggers were ecstatic! They finally had someone else to share their pink sparkliness with!

They shared similar academic pursuits…

And a love of exercise…

And it was nice to have kindness and support in such a mediocre gray scale world….

Or not….

They explored the possibilities of alternative nutrition…

DSC_0315 copy

Though each was sweeter than the other… at times.

DSC_0321 copy

They dazzled the locals with style and grace…

DSC04436 copy

And spread love and happiness where ever they went!

But they kept large sticks in their large handbags in case of disaster…

DSC04421 copy

They went to bed early every night and made sure to get their beauty sleep…

DSC04305 copy

But that didn’t always seem to go to plan…

So they practiced their elocution until they fell asleep!

DSC_0077 copy

All of this joy is thanks to one little blue man, thank you Nuffnang we LOVE you!

And while their world is now more beautiful, there is always room for another seat at the tea party!

We have more special Valentine love to spread to the insanely cute Cheesie of www.Cheeserland.com because if we can have this much fun when she’s not even in the room, imagine what we can do when she actually visits!

Next on our lovely list is local Melbourne princess Aurora Hime and her Tumblr that never fails to inspire!

Last but definitely not least is the devilishly dark and deliciously decked Miss Amelia Arsenic of Destroyx for more reasons than we could possibly list.

So if you want to improve your reality, don’t take the red pill, take the little blue man!

We HEART you Nuffnang!
