Brisvegas by the camera roll

Hey guys!


So as i have mentioned, i went to see Taylor Swift in Brisbane in decemeber, and my goodness what a talent! She was so awesome! The time spent in brissy was ok, i think we spent too many days in the city. It was my first time to actual brisbane so i thought thursday to monday was a good amount of time, but it was a little too much time. It would have been better if we had of been at a nice resort and had good sun baking weather. The city is not like sydney. There aren't heaps of places to explore there is literally the heart of the city and south bank. We did have a fab time but this is definitely a tip for next time ;)

We stayed at The Punthill Brisbane which was fantastic! The room was beautiful, clean and new. The beds were comfy and there was no noisy neighbours. And the service was fantastic! Although i have to say being a person who sleeps with the window/sliding door open the garbage trucks at 5am were a little too much to take ha ha ha




 There was really pretty architecture around the city! This place was on our walk up the biggest hill to our apartment.

SIL and i are coffee drinkers and we love to people watch. She gets me when i observe something about what someone is wearing/doing, you know how men don't get a lady's fascination with people watching?! Yeah well she is my go to people watching buddy ;D So we found the perfect spot, starbucks (hell yeah!) at the entrance to the shopping centre in the heart of the city. So of course i snapped a few pics of our coffees. And you can tell who is the more serious coffee drinker can't you?! (hint: not me lol).





 We went to one of Jamie Oliver's restaurant for dinner on the friday night (i think it was :D) And it was sumptuous!



 Southbank was very beautiful and such brilliant idea! It had two huge lagoons where there was enough room for heaps of people and for some cooling off. And we later on discovered markets, a street full of restaurants that ran parallel to south bank and many places to sit and relax and do some more people watching. We went on the big "Wheel of Brisbane" which was fantastic! And then walked around south bank and just took in all the sights.







Ice creams to curb the after lunch sweet hit!


And the outfits! This Mister Zimi is perfection, I'm dying to get another! (I'm eyeing off thisthis (hopefully it'll come back into stock) and this one, although out of stock in my size! Damn!!).


This dress is so comfy, thank you Dotti. My Tory Burch thongs are brilliant too!

Seriously Chambray is so easy to wear! I love its ability to be neutral yet put together and a little bit fancy. This dress is from The Iconic.


And lastly what i wore to Taylor. The earrings are from H&M, top is Zara and same with the jeans which you can't see lol


When we arrived at the concert we were given these things that looked like Fitbits but were white. We were told that when Taylor was coming on these would tell us. It was seriously cool seeing the whole place light up when she came on stage. It was like synchronised lighting. They went to the beat of the song and were continuously going many different colours.


 Overall she was totally worth taking a few days off and exploring the city, especially with my SIL. I am looking forward to going back up there to see our friends again! And the shopping was pretty awesome ;) I will show you what i got (cosmetics wise) tomorrow! Enjoy the rest of the arvo, i am off to continue cleaning and then get the little man from the bus stop.
