Short post this time

What I love about H&M is their quirkiness and innovative collections, their latest gem is a candy wrapper clutch. Click here if you're interested in calling it your own.

Bitter's Top 5 Picks

Okay the title may be slightly generic but I'll personalise this (I promise) and I'll try to (can't guarantee though) choose things that can be used irrespective of the season so that my Northern Hemisphere readers are also included.

1. Wrap Up- This thing is amazing! I haven't personally tried it myself but I will (like in 2weeks) and by that I mean to say that I just bought 'it' online (well a cheaper and more accessible version). It's like the donut bun but better because

a) you can use it even if you don't have thick hair 

b) it's easier to use and looks better by far 

c) it's more versatile so you can create different styles

d) it looks less painful, not sure about you but after supporting a donut hair style for a day my scalp starts to feel sore especially around the hair roots 

Don't believe me then watch this or you will regret it. It's a video but unfortunately I can't share it on Blogger nor can I find it on Youtube so sorry!

Also if you're interested in buying one, I bought a pack of 6 so just ask me or you can buy the same alternative on Ebay click here but then again if I had the option I would buy the real thing, unfortunately for me they do not offer international shipping. On int shipping news Sugarpova has added Australia to the list of countries but they'll be at David Jones come January so I guess I can wait before I stock up big time on branded candy by one of my favourite tennis players.

2. Peplum Coat

I have a love-hate relationship with Peplum. When I first saw it, I loved it because it wasn't plastered everywhere on anything but nowadays it's overdone and it a bad way which has brought shame to the design. A peplum coat has been something that I've eyed ever since it started to get chilly (oh and I get cold very easier so think Autumn).

Good Peplum

Stunning Peplum so if anyone can find one for me in a design similar to this then I will reward you.

3. Arm Candy- I have a particular fancy for those that are sported by Chriselle and Aimee (SongofStyle)

Chriselle

Aimee

Now one of the essentials for a good wrist is a good watch- menswear style especially if you pair it with a good blouse, blazer and heels. My pick for good watch goes to Michael Kors- I'm sure Ashley Madekwe would agree with me when I say that they look stunning.

Rose Gold is my personal favourite with minimal bling 

Santa for Xmas I want a new watch

4. Envelope Clutch- like Peplum I think it has been overdone in a bad way but when I first saw it on Revenge, it new original, and very innovative and chic. I'm not being biased here but in this case the branded options are nicer by far

Emily's envelope clutch

I usually don't like animal printed bags but there's always an exception (: Plus it's a neutral which means that you can wear in the day or for a night out and of course for every designer there is a far cheaper alternative/ copy

Alloy's clutch retails for $34.90 much more affordable than the $1280 price tag demanded by Givenchy

This satin clutch is by BCBGMAXAZARIA which is still a fashion house but not so as prestigious as Givenchy but for $78 it is still well worth it and it also comes in multiple colours if you're interested. Click here if you wish to buy it for $71 with free shipping and yes it's real and no it is not a scam as I shop from reputable websites

5. MAC lipstick - it's good enough said.

Formal!

Hey long time no speak/see/hear/whatevs.

Sorry I had to conquer the HSC before I could unequivocally blog again.

Funfact time:

When I was looking at fashion blogs etc I found the longest wedding dress, yeah I'm currently obsessed with haute couture fashion including wedding dresses because they're slightly my ideal for a formal dress as well.

It's a 1.85 mile long train which took 100 days to make by the Romanian design house Andree Salon. I don't think that the model walked with it because it would take a shit-load of people to carry it as the bride walked down the supposed aisle (not that you would make a 2mile+ aisle) seeing as it took 10 seamstresses alone to make it for the Bucharest 2012 biannual Wedding Fair (yes it was sponsored- thank God).

Alright seeing as I did mention my ideal formal dress, I have found it (don't trust me on this because I have a tendency to change my mind quite often but currently I am in love with this dress). It's by Marchesa and it is currently 50% off at BlueFly, the bad news is that it cost 4 figures (still)

Why I love it? The flower gathering at the front, that leg split which is subtle but still noticeable (yeah in case you haven't noticed I'm not a fan of showing off too much skin), the COLOUR (lol colour- hehehe) it's oyster pink and well that sounds amazing! Of course in order to pull this dress off, I kinda have to grow like an extra 10 cm at least T^T

Moving onto my actual dress, it's Chloe silk, halter neck strap that is also asymmetrical (not mullet style) and by that I mean that it is long at the front and back but short at the sides. Shoes were Porter points from ASOS, jewellery was (vintage) pearl themed (all bought online for ridiculously cheap prices) including my hair pins. 

Yeah we were mucking around and don't you love my 14cm heels because I do

It's been a while

^My title sums it all up

First off after graduation, I had dinner with my godparents at a Thai place called Thai Paragon. Initial impression: ohhhh pree--tayy and then we went in and omgosh the prices are ridiculously over-priced. Heads up guys they charge you just to have meat in your dish, it is not included in menu price.

 See what I mean

 Massaman curry- my fav if you haven't tried then do so. You won't be disappointed

 I think this was Pad Thai, from memory either this dish or the one below was surprisingly sweet (in a bad way guys)

Sorry for the horrible photos my camera was playing up on me but never fear Bitter is here with her new DSLR (yay)

MOVING ON
Went to city today to run a few errands. Got my eyebrows done at Benefit Brow and the person who serviced me was from France and had an awesome accent. The down-side I realised how sensitive my skin is ):

 Thought I'd add this randomly in, a study snack of mine

 Giant shoe in Westfield Sydney, no idea why it's promoting Tag Huer

 TOPSHOP although I was saddened by their limited range and by that I mean that the clothes were over-priced and they were the same thing over and over again (i.e. peplum, metallics, you know the rest)

Waffle on a stick

 Macaroons!!! 12 for $10. Wait I'm tasting right now to give you the verdict, they're not bad considering the price but the only macaroon I tried before today were made by Better (first try). Speaking about macaroons, Laduree (French macaron powerhouse) is in Westfield Sydney so if anyone wants to have tea and macrons with me then just tell me but warning they are expensive with a box of 8 being $29 so yeah
