Travel {Photos} : NYC - MoMA

MoMa: The Museum of the Modern Art

11 West 53rd Street  New York,

NY 10019, United States

I love visiting museums, especially the ones in the States. Almost every museum they have is huge in size!!

The other museum I visited, when I was there was

The Field Museum

in Chicago. That museum was all about history. 

MoMA, however, is all artsy fartsy. 

Something different from the usual museums that I've visited. 

We had two museums in mind, MoMA and The Metropolitan Museum of Art where the Alexander McQueen exhibition was held. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time for 2 museums. So just MoMA will do.

This museum is so popular, there is a queue to buy tickets and also for the cloaks room. They are very strict with bags, so if you want to save time and not queue up for the cloaks room, bring a smaller bag. Handbags are okay but backpacks are strictly not allowed.

When we were there, it was pretty crowded so we only spent around an hour or two there.

Here are some pictures of MoMA:

My favourite 'Art' is this one right here.

Free flow of candies wrapped in red, blue and silver.

There were some artistic films being shown in a few different rooms but cameras were strictly not allowed.

All in all, it was a great experience.

I didn't get some of the art work there, but I guess that's how art works. Each individual interpret it differently as none of us are exactly the same.

Have you been to an art museum before?

SHE RAW Exhibition & Aurora Fashion


I love attending photography exhibitions. Looking at an artists' work of art is just incredible. It's so inspiring how they can tell a story with one photograph/artwork.

SHE RAW is an exhibition that supports preventing violence against women.
Photography for a cause? I am sold! :)



"SHE RAW is photographic artist, Lilli Waters’ first solo exhibition, SHE RAW – 41 hauntingly beautiful portraits of women from all walks of life.

The two-year project aims to document everyday women within a state of fantasy whilst drawing directly from their real-life experience and context.

The result is a series of captivating photographic portraits that uncovers the many engaging mysteries and hidden truths which lie, often undiscovered, beneath a woman’s skin. (http://www.sheraw.org)

Early prints from this project won the People’s Choice Award for The Focus Project 2011 and we are pleased to invite you to join us on the opening night/ book launch (3rd May 2012) to celebrate Lillie’s debut exhibition."

Ahoy Sailor!

My sister's 21st birthday is coming up (very soon!) and I've decided to plan a birthday party for her.
The theme that she chose was Nautical/Sailor Preppy.

We had a few more ideas before this (one was Purple and White) but we've decided to settle for this since her birthday dress is somewhat nautical-ish.

You will not believe how excited I am about this theme.
I am no Amy Atlas (only my all time favourite party stylists/designer) but I hope I can achieve a quarter of her fabulous stylish designs.

Like the ones below:

I'm always at awe whenever I see her designs. It never fails to put a smile on my face. I love how she plays around with colours and make them work in harmony together.


Here are some of my inspirations for the party:

The e-invitation card I made for the Facebook invite:

Does anyone knows where I can get cheap party supplies in Melbourne? Or any online Australian party suppliers?

I was so excited when I saw these pictures. Karl Lagerfeld + Blake Lively = Perfect please.

Although the actual photos for ad campaign are gorgeous, I kinda like the "behind the scenes" pictures more.
