Natural History Museum

I decided to do a bit of solo exploring today and took a trip to South Kensington to visit the Natural History Museum. I got there at around 10.30am (the museum opened at 10am) and there was already a queue to get in! Quick tip; the Exhibition Road entrance tends to be less busy than the main Cromwell Road entrance. I think the latter is more convenient to get to the popular Dinosaur zone, but the alternative entrance is worth it to avoid waiting in line for too long. Everything I saw was intriguing in some way, but honestly I was more in awe of the details in the building; a spacious grand central hall, majestic stairs, intricate details on the columns and pillars and beautiful hallways. I felt like a Hogwarts student :)

Post Script

P.S. I have changed my blog name to Mrs T's corner. It makes me think of a cosy corner, with a comfortable armchair where you can sit to look out a big white window and watch the world go by. Complete with a snuggly warm blanket and a hot cup of tea... or chocolate if you prefer. This is the place where I picture blogging all my life adventures from, hopefully I can have this corner once we have found an apartment to live in.

Turns out there is also a blog called Mr T's corner... haha

A new beginning

It has been 9 days since Mr T and I set foot in London. It took us 7 bags, a 14 hour plane ride, a 4 hour transit and another 7 hour plane ride to finally get us here. We've had really nice weather (except for the odd showers that pop out of nowhere) and London really is beautiful. With so many things to see, to do, to eat, to smell, I'm almost scared to blink in fear that I might miss something!

We haven't had much chance to explore London, been busy with apartment hunting and sorting out basic admin things. Hopefully once we have settled in we can venture out more. Can't wait!

Weekend Wear

This is an outfit I would wear on a weekend, perfect for this miserable Sydney weather.

Polyvore is fun, but it ain't healthy for my shopping addiction

Retail Therapy

I'm really loving the animal print trend at the moment, so much so that I bought 3 pairs of animal print flats from Love Couture. To be fair they were having a $10 off all flats deal, so each pair cost me $9.95! Bargain! I've only worn the leopard print pair once and honestly they are not the most comfortable shoes but for the price I guess I can't complain. I'm curious to see whether they hold up and whether I can break them in. If you are interested in getting them the one thing that I would strongly advise is to try them on. The sizing is a bit strange, I had to get one pair in size 8 (which is my usual size), one pair in size 9 and one in size 10.

I also picked up this cute long sleeve romper from TEMT

Also some knitwear from ChicABooti (the mint green one - I'm obsessed with this colour!) and Target (the brown one)

This necklace I got from Pigeonhole. I love how dainty and delicate it is and that you can wear the two separately or together.

I've been on the hunt for a pair of flat riding boots. I wanted it to be plain with a simple buckle detail. I saw this pair at Betts on sale from $199.99 down to $49.99! I couldn't pass it up even if they were a half size too big. I think a pair of thick socks should solve the problem.

Lastly I've been in love with these Revlon colorburst lip butters, a friend of my sister got them for me from the US. In Australia I've only seen them in a chemist at Carousel Shopping Centre in Cannington retailing at $22.95! I think in the US they range from $8-$12 USD. The price difference is ridiculous :(
