  1. 0:07Hey guys, welcome back to the vlogs. I'm
  2. 0:09currently in Sydney CBD and today's
  3. 0:12concept is just going to be a solo date
  4. 0:14around the city. I feel like I haven't
  5. 0:17stopped to really appreciate the city
  6. 0:18since I initially moved here back in
  7. 0:202017 cuz I've always seen the city as
  8. 0:22somewhere that's just so chaotic, a
  9. 0:25little bit dirty, and just like
  10. 0:28I don't know, a very
  11. 0:30a little bit overstimulating. Today, I'm
  12. 0:32really excited to kind of really
  13. 0:34appreciate the city. I feel like I've
  14. 0:35just been Oh my god.
  15. 0:39I feel like I've overlooked a lot of the
  16. 0:41really amazing and beautiful details in
  17. 0:44the city. Sydney is actually really
  18. 0:46beautiful and I guess I just want to
  19. 0:48showcase that, shop around, and also
  20. 0:50show you guys where you guys can go if
  21. 0:52you come to Sydney. I'm so used to
  22. 0:53living here, but I remember when I first
  23. 0:55moved here, I was so mesmerized by all
  24. 0:56the buildings. Like, look at these
  25. 0:58buildings behind me. They're so
  26. 1:00beautiful. But, even when I'm in QVB, I
  27. 1:02find myself just like walking really
  28. 1:03quickly through it and I'm walking back
  29. 1:05out. Like, I'm not stopping to see how
  30. 1:07pretty it is and just now I got to do
  31. 1:09that. So, that was really nice. I'm just
  32. 1:11passing through Town Hall because I'm
  33. 1:13heading to a cafe, but it's so pretty.
  34. 1:16Like, I think I forgot that this is a
  35. 1:18historical landmark and there's history
  36. 1:21behind it and it's just beautiful. Let's
  37. 1:23go to the cafe I'm talking about. I wore
  38. 1:26the most basic fit today because I
  39. 1:28figured I'll be doing some shopping and
  40. 1:30I want to be able to get in and out
  41. 1:31easily, but here is a little fit check.
  42. 1:38All right, enough yapping. Let's go
  43. 1:39check out a cafe. Okay, wait, pause. Not
  44. 1:41me just noticing that that is a police
  45. 1:43station. Is that the world's prettiest
  46. 1:46police station?
  47. 2:50>> I have a good time.
  48. 2:52I haven't been here for a week.
  49. 2:54>> So I'm
  50. 2:55>> What are your main recommendations?
  51. 2:57>> I think the signature is a hot blonde
  52. 2:59and a couple of things about it. So
  53. 3:11That is a really good one. That might be
  54. 3:13my top two.
  55. 3:14>> Thank you so much.
  56. 3:16>> The cream and coffee complement each
  57. 3:18other very well. Nothing is too strong
  58. 3:21in the contrast or at a host.
  59. 3:23It tastes really good.
  60. 3:24I love light sweet flavors. The cream is
  61. 3:26not too sweet or too thin.
  62. 3:28It's really consistency.
  63. 3:33It's like refreshing almost.
  64. 3:40I would recommend
  65. 3:41>> one for
  66. 3:42>> Really nice 15 which is a steal in this
  67. 3:44area quantity.
  68. 3:51So I wasn't going to get food but I
  69. 3:53haven't eaten all day.
  70. 4:30Until today, I was like, "It's not fair.
  71. 4:32These New York vloggers, they got the
  72. 4:34most aesthetic streets." But, you know
  73. 4:36what?
  74. 4:37Sydney's not fair. We got this and the
  75. 4:39beach.
  76. 4:43When I say the city's not that nice to
  77. 4:45shop in, it's because it's just like a
  78. 4:47wide road with so many people, and
  79. 4:49everyone is like walking super fast,
  80. 4:51like not that comfortable. Also, it's
  81. 4:53really dark because all the buildings
  82. 4:55are blocking the sun. Everyone's just in
  83. 4:58a rush here. Like, you can see the
  84. 5:00people behind me. Not very relaxing to
  85. 5:02be in. We are walking to Kookai, one of
  86. 5:06my favorite Australian brands.
  87. 5:13I used to shop here all the time after
  88. 5:15work. The people working here, they're
  89. 5:17really hot, so that really helps.
  90. 5:29Okay, interesting.
  91. 5:44Let's try
  92. 5:45it. This is like Aritzia changing room,
  93. 5:48except you actually get mirrors inside,
  94. 5:50not just outside.
  95. 5:53This is what Aritzia needs.
  96. 6:02This top is so good for work.
  97. 6:06A little bit of something something.
  98. 6:10I usually look bad in anything that
  99. 6:12covers my neckline, but this one
  100. 6:15Honestly, not bad.
  101. 6:18I am obsessed with this jacket. Oh my
  102. 6:21god.
  103. 6:22It's so warm. It's so comfy. I don't
  104. 6:25know about this neck thing, though. I
  105. 6:28want it to come down. I actually kind of
  106. 6:31like this.
  107. 6:35No, no, no, no, no.
  108. 6:40>> I got a pair of Uggs recently. They're
  109. 6:42so comfy. So, come check out Uggs with
  110. 6:44me.
  111. 6:58I tried this last time. It was so comfy.
  112. 7:02I have this one. It's so comfy. I just
  113. 7:04wear it out.
  114. 7:22I don't like UGG in a club.
  115. 7:36I don't think I have to wear UGG in a
  116. 7:37club. The only thing I like is this
  117. 7:39pouch.
  118. 7:44Am I a Brandy because what?
  119. 7:49I didn't know they did this.
  120. 7:53I'm so confused right now. Since when do
  121. 7:54they do sunny?
  122. 7:59Is today the day that I buy one?
  123. 8:02It looks cute.
  124. 8:05Fine, I'll admit this is cute, but it's
  125. 8:07also $60.
  126. 8:09Why is it so stimulating? I don't know
  127. 8:11what's going on.
  128. 8:17I think shopping-wise it's better to go
  129. 8:18to Paddington or Bondi, which we will go
  130. 8:21to next time. All right, we are at David
  131. 8:22Jones now. I'm going to go see Gentle
  132. 8:24Monster.
  133. 8:28Okay.
  134. 8:56They fit my face so well.
  135. 8:58Oh, I love.
  136. 9:14I'm severely dehydrated and tired, but
  137. 9:17we made it. Okay, this is cute and very
  138. 9:20breathable. It's not thick. I like this
  139. 9:23bra shape, but there's no padding. This
  140. 9:25skirt is pretty cute. I think this would
  141. 9:26work actually.
  142. 9:28Cute bra.
  143. 9:29Comfy.
  144. 9:31The back is cool. This is more comfy
  145. 9:33than I remember.
  146. 9:46>> So many people.
  147. 9:50So
  148. 9:51So many people.
  149. 9:53>> Please stand clear.
  150. 10:07>> Hey guys. I took the tram earlier. Now
  151. 10:09I'm at Chinatown. I used to come here
  152. 10:11all the time. Like during uni, I would
  153. 10:14come to eat here for dinner every day.
  154. 10:16That's Market City. If I'm being honest,
  155. 10:18I've never properly shopped around
  156. 10:20Market City. I just never thought about
  157. 10:22it. It feels like it's for tourists. But
  158. 10:24I'm here today because there are some
  159. 10:26cute souvenirs that I'm after. I also
  160. 10:28want to go to TK Max, which is in the
  161. 10:29same building as well. So let's go.
  162. 10:34Wow.
  163. 10:36So apparently there's restaurants, too.
  164. 10:38Oh, restaurant and pub.
  165. 10:50I honestly kind of like the Australia
  166. 10:51t-shirts.
  167. 10:58Wait, it's so cheap. It's $10 each,
  168. 11:01three for 28. I found these souvenir
  169. 11:03shops that I'm here for.
  170. 11:06Wow.
  171. 11:21That shop is absolutely pumping. It's
  172. 11:23like so many Koreans and Taiwanese
  173. 11:25tourists.
  174. 11:29Yep. Kangaroo balls.
  175. 11:32Oh my god, this place is huge.
  176. 11:40Low key I thought this place would be a
  177. 11:41tourist trap, but it's actually really
  178. 11:43cheap.
  179. 11:54Oh my god.
  180. 11:59I had no idea any of these restaurants
  181. 12:01existed, so come find out with me.
  182. 12:08Ooh, that's so cute.
  183. 12:13Wow.
  184. 12:22Oh, that's so cute.
  185. 12:26That's cute, a little matcha place.
  186. 12:30Cool.
  187. 12:32A patisserie, oh that's It's giving
  188. 12:35Asia.
  189. 12:39Ooh. Oh.
  190. 12:41These shops are so cute.
  191. 12:43Does anyone come here?
  192. 12:45Does anyone know about this place or is
  193. 12:46it just me?
  194. 12:50Wow.
  195. 12:52Wow.
  196. 12:55Am I the only one who didn't know about
  197. 12:57this place?
  198. 13:06That's Chinatown behind me. We were
  199. 13:08basically at the basement, now we're
  200. 13:10going into the mall.
  201. 13:12So it's the same building technically.
  202. 13:16So
  203. 13:17you can go in and you can't enter from
  204. 13:19there. I entered from somewhere else.
  205. 13:21And yeah, I'm going upstairs because I
  206. 13:24heard that there's Acne Studio at TK
  207. 13:26Maxx.
  208. 13:51Yes, we got to go.
  209. 13:57I was hoping we'd be able to go to
  210. 13:58Circular Quay today as well for the
  211. 13:59Opera House and the Harbor Bridge cuz it
  212. 14:02is spectacular. But, your girl is really
  213. 14:05tired, so I mean I go home. We'll save
  214. 14:08it for the next episode. Thanks for
  215. 14:10watching. Bye, guys.
