Sometimes, it's easy to be too 'busy' on the net, rather than with family and friends.
Travelling to Hong Kong provided some fashion inspiration from the Asian industry; and its contrast with Australian street fashion was quite prominent.
First off, looking glamorous was expected, rather than a surprise. The high influence of celebrities meant that a third of the girls would wear at least mascara and lipstick, freshly cut hair and the latest hair colour trend. In Sydney, a singlet/t-shirt with a skirt and sunglasses was already considered decent, plus mascara here and there. Unlike Hong Kong, Australian fashion is much more relaxed, flowly and floral, reminiscent of our culture and love of the beach.

Being surrounded by the city of Hong Kong, with its high population meant the ability to see more trendy girls. Oh how the inspiration flooded my veins! It would be hard not to have caught off a little of their tastes back home. This outfit reflects their love of patterns and printed shirts, as well as wearing a bold lipstick. With the edition of this extremely fluffy bag!!
My precious......
Also, now that my materialistic pleasures have been fulfilled in Hong Kong (well...almost hehe), travelling has reoriented my life to become more family focused. Travelling and talking to your family on a daily basis, and often, was now normal. This behaviour has now even been brought home, and the change is surprising.
I also no longer stay on the computer as long, realising how being on the net aimlessly is such a stupid way of spending each minute of my shrinking lifespan.
Remembering the last time we literally stopped to just smell the flowers, enjoy the view on our daily commute, or even putting aside some time to getting to know our family/friends is a strain.
Sure, we have commitments, but truly living is a life worth keeping, yes?
