Out 'n About in Sydney

Haven't been blogging since 2010! I've been longing to, but it just wasn't possible.

I've been relocating my shop. Then I went up to Sydney and was on the road for a week. Just got back around midnight.

I love to travel, but as much as I love it, it is sooooo darn tiring... It especially makes me uncomfortable that I can only wear what I take... No other choice! LOL

Sydney is beautiful... One of the most beautiful cities... I also love the weather... Unlike Mellbourne!!! However, I seriously would not want to live there. I got home sick in 2 days. :( The traffic is crazy!

We waited an hour to get into Bankstown Centro (shopping centre) car park, and waited another hour to get out. It was only Thursday! I didn't like much of what I saw at the shops... Probably cos I'm so used to Melbourne shops? So day 1, I asked my husband to take me around to the shops. There were some stores I particularly wanted to see, but I couldn't make it to Baraka Women which I really really wanted to visit. There were some online friends whom I also wanted to meet in person, but hubby's plans would not allow. :( I got to meet at least one of those friends, and it was like I've known her forever. :)) A great feeling.

I would love to one day have an 'blog/FB get together'. What do you think? Good idea???

Anywaysss I will be sharing photos of the beautiful places we saw in further posts, but for now, some of what I wore during my trip...

Roaming the city... wanted to look a little sophisticated LOL

This high waisted stripe skirt is currently my fave clothing item. It was the last one left at Forever New and it's not even my size. It's made of lycra (strechy fabric), so I thought if I can't get into it now, I will soon. :P So I bought it, and very very happy with my purchase. :))))

This amazing place is Bald Hill, Wollongong. Wollong is beautiful... will be sharing more photos later. My outfit is very basic. It was intended to be very comfortable for a very long road trip. :) I wore a cotton hijab which Turks usually wear at home. It's soft, thin, and light-weight, making it great for hot weather and long trips like this.

We drove from Sydney to Wollongong to Goulburn... a country town big on farming and sheep herding (I think that's what it's called?). So I had to have a photo taken in front of the huge Merino just before heading out to Melbourne. :) As for my outfit, you have seen me wear this Sussan tunic before. This time I wore it with jeans and popped on a cropped cardi as it was a little cool at night. Normally I'd wear a longer cardi, but had none with me! :)

Anyone else been travelling lately? Tis the holiday season, so Melbourne is empty!

Oh, and one of my readers from Sydney has emailed me photos of her version of my cake. I will be posting that too soon. :)

Mwahhhh
