Y'all ready for this?

Living Doll Distressed Knit - None The Richer Blaze Necklace from Market HQ - ASOS Boyfriend Belt - Romwe.com Wide Leg Pants - Lorenzi Heels - Covet Vintage Co. Tan Envelope Clutch

I consumed food with my dear brother this afternoon and he hates my new favourite Romwe pants, so I wore them. This wide leg business is the best solution for being warm in winter - you could be wearing polka dot leg warmers underneath and nobody would ever know. And because your bottom half is warm, there's a bit more room to play in the top half - though, to be fair, the distressed shoulders on this sweater are a bit deceiving. It is a lot warmer than it looks.

More importantly: If you've been keeping tabs on Twitter and Facebook, you will have observed that I was not so excited with the result of my long overdue haircut that happened yesterday afternoon.

This is how it went. I'd explained to the hairdresser how much I wanted off (admittedly I hadn't had my hair cut in a good 6 months and it had gotten to a point where there is only so much Moroccan Oil can do). Said hairdresser proceeded to demonstrate the length (which I was happy with) and cut on one side (which I was also happy with). Then we get to the other side.

Snip snip snip.

 "Oh sh*t..."

Wooo gotta love that!

So because one side was messed up, the other half had to come up to make it even.

And that is the story of why the hell Margaret's hair is now oh so short. Looking at it now, it probably isn't so bad - can it be called post-traumatic-chopping-off-half-my-hair disorder? I think so. I think I'll like it in two weeks.

 

Tip for amazingly chunky necklaces such as this one - half in half out.

Yes. It's comforting.

Some refreshingly comfortable details from what I ended up wearing some time last week when Sydney wasn't flailing in rain. I had been wearing typically teen-years-ed combat boots (which I quite liked with the sweet simplicity of this Living Doll shirt dress), but Mother insisted that hot beverages with her friends amounted to a formal occasion - for which these pumps have become my go-to.

I really haven't shown you enough of this fantastic distressed cable knit either - this will be fixed soon. I wear it so much more than you could ever imagine. I swear Sydney Winters get colder every year.

P.S. Just a heads up that my blogging may be slightly on-off over the next week or so because I'm so p-p-paralysed with happiness that it's exam time.

P.P.S. In my procrastination, I discovered these. Maybe it's time to cave to JC Litas?

Fine Beginnings.

The just-out lookbook of Beginning Boutique makes me want to rewind the clock to the beginning of December, and start Summer again with the above activities involved. Particularly ice creams and meaningful maxi-dressed strolls, plus this amazing selection of awesome-approved Aussie labels. Wearing the likes of Bec & Bridge, One Teaspoon, and Living Doll all day would probably contribute to further lipsticked smiles - just as well I'll be hitting the beach for a forecasted 40 Celcius Australia Day!

Check out more of my intense BB wishlist (i.e. entire store) HERE.

Happy Australia Day for today lovers!!! Party it up :)

Fields have eyes and woods have ears.

Headmistress Watson Lake Headdress - Living Doll Beaded Layer Dress - Zoe Wittner Ursula Wedges

As much as I'm not a fan of sitting in fields in what-I-wore-today (because let's face it - you clearly don't wear that to a field), I couldn't resist the amazing sunlight at about 5 in the evening, and the way it makes everything look super-focused, but dreamy at the same time. A lot like this amazingly sweet dress that the lovely Annika of Living Doll kindly lent me to share with you all. Isn't it just stunning? I could spin in it forever - the layering is that fine and perfect. Similar outlook goes for a lot of Living Doll's pieces! Take a look HERE.

The obvious accompanying choice would have been flats boots and a felt hat. So I tried my beloved wedges and my favourite feathered beauty that is getting a lot of wear (much to the entertainment of those who live on my street).





All Aussies and New Zealanders - can we hear a we love Summer!? December is getting so close and I still haven't managed to get my sorry self to Bondi - whoops.

P.S. for those of you lovelies who've been asking about my Lookbook.nu dormancy, I will get my act together and upload 500 million looks soon, I swear!

*love*
