Youth (Alle Farben Remix) - Daughter #midweektune


It's Wednesday.

My head's feeling a little fuzzy just thinking about home. New places are exciting; but at the same time exhausting. No I'm not sick of this place yet, in fact I love it. A week ago I was out for a run at night and just crossed Flinders Street station and just stopped to have my hand put over the clock on the front of the station from my view. It's so surreal. I'm here.

I'm right here, in front of this beautiful place I've always wanted to see and be in.

But really, there are points in times you just heave a sigh of something... No it isn't relief but I know it's just something else. Still just trying to figure out what that was supposed to be. That's just life isn't it? You think about something, you don't get answers all the time and you try to search for it. If it's within your reach, congratulations then. If it isn't, you might just end up spending an entire lifetime in search of... something.

Confusing idea this is but I guess we all just end up in circles when we can't come to terms with our minds and hearts. Life is cruel in that sense but I guess it gets you going, to constantly challenge yourself and not be held back in time by a moment you can never have, again.

I think this song makes up my swirly Wednesday.

If you like what you heard, check out more from Daughter on their site here. Daughter is an English indie folk band from London that started out in 2010. It was originally the solo work of Elena Tonra (lead singer now) and is now a trio with guitarist Igor Haefeli and drummer, Remi Augilella.

Welcome: Superdry

Featured: Superdry Vintage Entry Tee for Mens'

Hello Superdry! Pocketto now welcomes another brand new affiliate on board!

If you were thinking that Superdry's a Japanese label, it actually isn't. Superdry's origins dated way back in 1985, starting off as 'Cult Clothing' in 1985 by founder, Julian Dunkerton. The business expanded and established a few other stores in UK itself.

Superdry was only born when Julian paid a visit to Tokyo in 2003, heavily inspired by the Japanese culture and make. The brand fuses Japanese graphics, vintage Americana with the values of British tailoring and aims to bring forward unique, urban clothing with eye for the detail.

I've always liked their simple, clean cut designs and I am happy to have roped them in (also very in line with my Japanese obsession). Here are some picks from the list for ladies but I'd like to think of these as unisex picks. So here goes!

From left to right (in clockwise direction): Stadium Wool Navy Jacket, Washbasket Vintage Check Longsleeve Shirt in Barndoor Blue, Seaside Padstow Barrel in Natural and Dark Navy, Standard Blue Super Skinny Jean Rinse available via Superdry

From left: California Small Kit Bag in Multi Colour, Classic Tarpaulin Laptop Bag in Army Cargo available at Superdry

Take your pick at the Superdry Spring release here!

I'm sure you'll find something essential you might love be it for the warm or cold. I'm just freezing and burning from the erratic weather right here in Melbourne.

More to come, definitely. Been to a few wonderful places and finally went surfing (!!!) I know it's not that big a deal but it exists under my bucket list so lucky me it is. Thanks for sticking around if you do and more from Superdry if you love them too (;

Have a good day and stay tuned for more!

(22) Around town









From top down: 1. Lunch/dinner at Central Library, 2. Melbourne bicycle rental, 3. Central Library, 4. Chinatown, 5. Dream My Little Pony bicycle, 6. Wall art in Chinatown, 7. Cello busker along Swanston St., 8. My new ride from Reid cycles

Here's some sights I've had over the past two weeks over here and I thought I would make an effort to document more things and share them.

Melbourne has been keeping me excited, curious and passionate about things I want to do. This may sound a little cheesy but I feel like i'm reconnecting with myself and finally doing things that I've been wanting to be in touch with. Been having some ups and downs through it all but at the end of the day, I feel like it's pretty much worth the time and effort.

Keeping this clean and simple, simply because I am so out of touch with technology and the Internet. I have yet to configure some apps on my new Macbook but I'm pretty sure I'll get it right really soon.

Anyway, I finally have better things on hand to share (in due time), so keep your eyes peeled!
