Factorie for Australia's Next Top Model Tan Crop Jacket - Penny Anne Lace Slip over BONDS Singlet - ModCloth.com Portable Pocket Belt - Mister Zimi Maxi skirt - Bardot Boots - Just Gorgeous Gifts Melko Rose Leather Cuff


Margaret not in heels? What is this! To be fair I actually wear these Bardot boots so much more than has been evident - they have a wonderful wraparound strap and buttery soft leather that molds itself to your mood. Not lying.

The minute I pulled this Factorie x ANTM blazer out of the box, all I could think of was Woodstock, so hopefully that came through in this little ensemble. I'm very much a fan of the tan-navy colour combination. Almost as much as tan-burgundy, tan-turquoise and tan-red... Needless to say, this blazer is set to be worn to death for its colour as well as its surprising roominess and lightweight softness.







P.S. so glad you all liked my Castañer x The Fable Collective behind the scenes video! Judging by the emails, I'll have to do videos more often?

P.P.S. Another giveaway happening very soon :) bum-ba-dum-bum-dum

P.P.P.S. While we're at the postscripts, how about heading over to the Shine By Three Facebook Page :)

I love LILYA.

LILYA Mohair Poncho in Sand and Black - Penny Anne Lace Camisole - Junk Clothing Cargo Shorts - Just Gorgeous Gifts Melko Rose Leather Cuff in Black

I cannot even begin to express how in love I am with this poncho by LILYA - I'm not even going to try to think of a suitable adjective for it. Lisa, you're a creative genius. It walks the gloriously fine line between insanely soft blanket and not-quite-open knit with the oh so perfect gathers on the front, and just as much warmth on the back. I've never appreciated mohair this much.

This fantastic leather cuff has become attached to my arm over the past week - I've randomly threaded a few skinny black satin ribbons through it to offset the sharpness of the laser-cutting. It accidentally coordinates with my favourite Penny Anne cami, so the two happily cruise through life together, which suits me just fine.






At some point, I'm going to have to find the time (or get up a half hour earlier) to snap photos for you all when it isn't dark - difficult when it gets dark at something stupid o'clock like 5pm. But I shall try :) and hope that the day I decide to get up at 6, it isn't raining.

This time round, though, I was fairly happy with the darkness. Who would have thought tying this tacky-threadbare-sequinned-something over my lens (I use it is an atmospheric lampshade on good days) would make for awesome scattered light? Can't wait to test it out in morning sunlight!

P.S. You have three hours to enter the PRETTY DOG giveaway to win a $169 DLC Brooklyn necklace!! Quick quick: HERE.

MINKPINK Hopeless Romantic Shift Dress from Market HQ - AL&ALICIA Blazer - Rebecca Minkoff MAC Clutch - Pratten Cuff from Just Gorgeous Gifts Lomography Sprocket Rocket Camera

I almost forgot to share what I wore to the fantastic PayPal Cashless Utopia event I ran along to last Thursday night - at this point I'm so glad I don't own an iPhone! The new Paypal app allows you to literally shop from anywhere, split restaurant bills, and all the rest of it (one of those far-too-tempting things :D).

It's interesting that the least form-fitting and most high-necked dress I now own (holler at MINKPINK over at Market HQ) has received the most compliments I've had from a dress in a long time. Aside from my favourite greys, I think green and orange/red/coral is probably the best colour combination of all time - particularly in the case of my favourite Rebecca Minkoff and stunning eel-skin cuff from Just Gorgeous Gifts. Different leather textures are the greatest plus-sign of the century. (Be sure to check out my page of favourites at JGG too - right HERE)





I have so many rolls of panoramic images on film that I need to scan (but my scanner doesn't work on transparencies for some reason or another) - any tips?

P.S. stay happy on Twitter and Bloglovin' :)

P.P.S. Here we goooo, come with meeee, there's a woooorld out there that we should see, tra la laaaa (this had been stuck in my head all day - had to get it out of my system)
