05 Sep Renaissance Koh Samui x Hug Thailand Trip

Lifestyle, Travel, Uncategorized . September 5, 2019

The 3rd leg of our stay in Koh Samui with Hug Thailand was at the tranquil getaway of Renaissance Koh Samui Resort. Nestled on the beach of Lamai and a short scooter ride away from Chaweng, the place has a feel of hustle and bustle yet felt quiet and secluded. Like the others, this resort was once again nothing far off impeccable with its warm hospitality and gorgeous architecture - it didn't disappoint! We walked past lush gardens filled with tropical trees and delicate flowers that covered the resort grounds as we were shown to our luxe villa. Who can say no to a private pool that overlooked the stunning communal pool and mesmerising view of the beach! Our rooms were spacious and plush, complete with a His and Her bathroom, perfect for a relaxing night after busy days out in the sun. Another thing we loved, the high speed wifi -...

04 Sep Avani

Fashion, Lifestyle, Travel, Uncategorized . September 4, 2019

After a comfy flight with Malaysia airlines, we were picked up from the Koh Samui airport. On our way down south towards Avani, we were given a first-hand view of the hustling lifestyle of the locals in Koh Samui. Road rules don't really apply here and the traffic is hectic but somehow no one seems to be in a rush. I can't really complain about Melbourne traffic anymore! Through our journey to the south coast, the density of the island slowly began to wound into palm trees and scenic coastlines. Lush greenery, clear blue skies and fresh air followed us on our way. After 45 minutes in the car, we were taken away by the beauty of Avani Samui and I realised we were in for something special. As we we pulled into the driveway of this brand new establishment (opened in 2018), we felt a sense of excitement yet relaxation. We...

I had always heard that Koh Samui's Nora Buri was a beautiful place but it wasn't till I experienced it for myself that I discovered it's charm and this I was not prepared for! From its picturesque hilltop ocean views to its stunning interiors, this resort was beyond inspiring in its attention to detail and care. Whether it be the buildings, the landscape, the restaurants, the poolside, the food - you name it - every element was mastered. For those lovers of the relaxed and laid back lifestyle of Koh Samui, Nora Buri Resort & Spa is the perfect destination for you. Not only is it centrally located from the local shops, restaurants and entertainment of Chaweng it is only minutes away from the airport - a huge bonus! A big thank you to Hug Thailand for helping make this trip one to remember! We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to...

26 May LOOK: Sporty spice in crop and pants

Fashion . May 26, 2019

Today’s look is a combination of two trends that I LOVE – totally cute "90's" bucket hat and sporty vibe all in one. I chose this look to share with you guys as I find this look is a true representation of me. I don't dress one certain style. One day you'll see me in a girly outfit and the next you'll see me in chunky sneakers and a cap. Although I must admit I was my most comfortable and myself in this outfit. I think it has the right amount of everything. Baby pink may be the Pantone Colour of the Year for 2019. Whether worn in the form of boots, dresses, coats or even head-to-toe ensembles, the flattering and feminine colour added a lovely touch to today's looks. Try it for yourself if you’re after something subtle yet exciting. Bucket hats are well and truly back. Yes, the iconic ’90s accessory...

13 May LOOK: Low key utility in crop and army pants

Fashion . May 13, 2019

What's so special about military trend anyway? UM, EVERYTHING! It makes you look sophisticated, sexy and voguish all at the same time. For this military inspired look, I wore a feminine cute long sleeve crop top which allowed the statement key piece of the season, my “military printed” pants stand out. I must add, these combat trousers have pockets so large and deep you can forgo the handbag! These days military trend is having a glamorous, yet polished moment. I mean, women use army attire and accessories to express themselves. I’ve seen interesting fashion ideas appearing everywhere from store windows, international websites and of course, influencers. Ladies love mixing-and-matching various styles together and army looks are strong enough to appear in every new season street styles. Wearing these clothes, you automatically become powerful, rocky, bold and confident. What I personally love is the boyish charm a military look gives. Also, the military shades...
