WEAR: Chilling at Botanical Garden

Coping with the heat has never been my forte and this year, Melbourne's weather is exceptionally hot even in March. With 31-35 degrees, we can barely feel the breeze of Autumn. The only good thing is we can do outdoor activities and enjoy the sunshine before the weather gets cold in later months. This time I took a stroll around Botanical Gardens (when the temperature lowered down to around 20 degrees!) and decided to give it a tour without me knowing that the garden has many exit gates. With the car parked at the other end, I had to walk in one round, and since exercising has not been my favourite activities, walking for 3 hours certainly made my leg sore.

WEAR: Brown Riding Hood

This is a photo reel taken when we visited Lake Titisee as a spur on our way to Germany from Switzerland. Lake Titisee is located in the heart of Black Forest (and hence the name, they sell a delicious mouth-watering Black Forest which I forgot to take photo of because I finished right before my eye!) and surrounding the lake are countless restaurants and little shops selling everything from beers, to meat and food specialties, to clocks. Titisee is famous as the maker of cuckoo clock so almost every shop sells cuckoo clock. The small village and the lake itself are amazing and captivating. It is literally a very pleasing place enclosed by wooded hills. When I went there, it was a tad overrun by visitors but still it does not diminish the relaxed and calm ambience.

WEAR: Trench and Winter Colours.

Living in a city like Melbourne where the weather is constantly cold (and with the completely opposite season from those of EU/US), my ideal year-end gateway would perhaps somewhere warm with rays of sunshines, which left me with nothing but Southeast Asia countries. But as we decided to embark our trip to the EU, I believe it's the time to explore further on winter wear. 

This is one of those outfit I put together on when we hit Amsterdam. It was freezing cold but I decided to put in more effort simply because everyone dressed gorgeously out there. So I decided to throw in my trench coat and hat I bought from H&M. The hat really comes in handy when I am having a bad hair day. And as usual, winter spells for dark and warm colours such as maroon, black, and cream.
