From the previous trip with my mom, I found this accessories shop located along Little Collins St. called Mouche, which sells gorgeous accessories and handbags. The bag they sell are usually designer-inspired, less tacky and made of gorgeous calf leather.

Last week or so I went into the shop and saw a Mulberry Alexa lookalike. I'm personally not that big of a fan of the bag, but the salmon pink</summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.miasuraya.com/feeds/287047087059210537/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.miasuraya.com/2010/08/story-of-salmon-pink-lookalike-bag.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/81372781571366867/posts/default/287047087059210537'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/81372781571366867/posts/default/287047087059210537'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.miasuraya.com/2010/08/story-of-salmon-pink-lookalike-bag.html' title='The story of the salmon pink lookalike bag'/><author><name>Miasuraya</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15589484933190692914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02993147451246567963'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81372781571366867.post-5914227456196368080</id><published>2010-08-23T22:57:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-08-23T22:57:41.010+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fashion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Gorgeous ladies'/><title type='text'>Olivia Palermo in Asos magazine</title><summary type='text'>
I have something to say- I haven't watched a single episode of The City, but I think Olivia Palermo is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. She was recently on the cover of Asos magazine and these are the shots of her in the latest clothes and accessories from Asos.
I like the blue dress and hat combo very much!

She makes me feel like buying a hat!
There's just something about Olivia Palermo that makes her so </summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.miasuraya.com/feeds/5914227456196368080/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.miasuraya.com/2010/08/olivia-palermo-in-asos-magazine.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/81372781571366867/posts/default/5914227456196368080'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/81372781571366867/posts/default/5914227456196368080'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.miasuraya.com/2010/08/olivia-palermo-in-asos-magazine.html' title='Olivia Palermo in Asos magazine'/><author><name>Miasuraya</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15589484933190692914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02993147451246567963'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81372781571366867.post-3996271007455094426</id><published>2010-08-23T19:24:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-08-23T22:04:17.493+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Life in Melbourne'/><title type='text'>Yesterday's bazaar ramadhan</title><summary type='text'>Malaysia Hall hosts a Bazaar Ramadhan every Sunday and today, a few mates and I participated and opened up our own stall!

One of the things I think I have taken for granted, living in Malaysia, was its weather. I didn't have to think about dressing to suit the weather, only how I wanted to look and where I was going.

Well, those who know Melbourne may know that the weather can be a bit   whack. I only acknowledged when once, within an hour, the weather was   pretty sunny, the next,  extremely windy, sunny again </summary><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.miasuraya.com/feeds/2423019712109570277/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.miasuraya.com/2010/08/speaking-of-weather.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/81372781571366867/posts/default/2423019712109570277'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/81372781571366867/posts/default/2423019712109570277'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.miasuraya.com/2010/08/speaking-of-weather.html' title='Speaking of the weather'/><author><name>Miasuraya</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15589484933190692914</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02993147451246567963'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-81372781571366867.post-1169345267945208567</id><published>2010-02-14T12:00:00.013+08:00</published><updated>2010-08-21T19:20:03.324+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fashion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Topshop'/><title type='text'>Sequin blazers</title><summary type='text'>

What's in? SEQUIN BLAZERS!!! A trend for A/W 2009. Don't think it's too late to start wearing them now since people are still all over sequins. I love blazers. Awed by sequin blazers at Topshop a few months ago- thought I just had to have them.

Coincidentally, mine is midnight blue, just like all the pictures above.
