Shoestopper

I am currently obsessing with this YouTube vlogger, Jenny Im of Clothes Encounter. Discovered this ultimate Doc Martens copper spectra shoes from her recent video and I couldn’t breathe. Hahaha. I need to have these. Oh my God. This is a definite showstopper. A statement piece in my wardrobe! Haha. 

Quite frankly, I won’t be surprised if I receive a parcel at my doorstep. Lol. 

#InstaUpdate

It’s winter time here down under. And I decided to wear these comfy and warm clothes. Definitely not a matchy matchy ensemble rather clashing? haha. The top is a US Navy sweats and my PJs are with these cutesy baby prints. Posted this on my Instagram. Follow me at @knyfortaleza.

I hope you guys are having a nice Sunday! Happy Father’s Day by the way!

Playlist of the Moment

Iggy Azalea, the Aussie born rapper was an unexpected bet for me to be honest. The first time, I saw her perform was during Beyonce’s Mrs. Carter World Tour here in Melbourne in which she was the opening act. Who is this girl?, I told to myself. And then she rose to the charts and got a record with The Beatles for having consecutive no. 1 and 2 singles in the charts. Quite a feat for a newbie.

Anyhow, her “Fancy" single grew to me finally.

Next is Christina Grimmie’s Hold on We’re Going Home cover from The latest season of The Voice. This was the first time I heard of this song and I want it to stay that way. Lol. Super love this performance. Superb.

John Mayer made this song his. This XO cover was so original to him. And I think Beyonce will agree. Lol

Kenny and the City

So the day started, I went to the Victoria State Library to get some errands done. They have free internet there, an array of desktops for all to use. Thank you to the government. Lol. But I have my machine so I just needed a wifi connection. 

I just happen to snapshot this awesome view as I went inside the library.

After I got bored, my senses told me to do some window shopping at H&M at Melbourne's GPO. I must say the display was classy and cool. I haven’t seen such sophistication with other H&M stores I have been to but it may also be because of the buildings architecture and historical heritage. Buildings here in Melbourne are being restored and preserved to really bring in the ambience of Australia.

This is the top view from the Men’s department at the second floor. Quite a sight to see actually. 

And then there was me. There are real trees inside like leaves falling while you flick through the racks. 

I decided to be casual that day. Got some heaps of things to carry like my laptop and other stuff.

WHAT I wore?

1. Flannel top that I thrifted when I had my vacay in the Philippines. (Wow, VACAY! Yes, I am claiming it!)

2. plain black singlet from Folded and Hung

3. Moss green pants from Uniqlo (the first Uniqlo flagship store has just opened here down under a week after H&M opened their first flagship store as well) Indeed, Melbourne is the shopping capital now.

4. Stray rubber shoes from Roger David.  I got only for 15 bucks at a sale. It resembles those New balance shoes I have been drooling on.

And the mannequins are…….everywhere.

And capped the night with this breathtaking skyline of Melbourne!

See ya all next time!
