VeeChay Felt Hat - LimeCrime Retrofuturist Lipstick - Shilla Polkadot Dress

Just a heads up and in-advance apology for some potentially sporadic and/or mildly absent blogging this week! Trying to get my head around uni is fairly exhausting and I haven't had a chance to sit down and properly think things through before posting them, let alone pull out the tripod :) But, yes, in answer to your questions, I shall definitely share what I wear to lectures! Like a nerd! I've had my fair share of odd sideways glances, but the girl in front of me in line to buy a caramel chai latte (yumm) was wearing the same amazing Evil Twin skirt as me!

That was the highlight of my day.

Apart from spending the evening at the beautiful Mrs Press store in Paddington. But more on that later (i.e. once I find my camera cord)

I took this photo a couple of weeks ago - the VeeChay hat is probably the prettiest piece of something-to-put-on-my-head I own. The ribbon is teal and the flower is bright pink which I love. I'll have to wear it more often in a happy 1930s way once the cooler weather rolls in and head heat is a bit more precious. Speaking of which, Happy First Day of Autumn, Southern Hemispherers! So excited to bust out the knits and capes :)

P.S. shoutout to the lovely miss who came and said hi at uni today! Sorry I didn't get your name :) but see you round!

Junk Clothing Printed Eyelet Top - Shilla Red Highwaisted Shorts - ModCloth.com Gym Socks - Wanted Shoes Brogues

If you know anyone from Sydney, you'll have heard us all complaining about the horrible start to Summer - so today, I decided to make up for that in bright colours and crazy prints. In doing so, I have (evidently) run across an epic focus fail. See? Overcast skies even mess with focus. Let's hope my jumping makes up for that (woohoo - I'm getting better at it!)

I discovered, splashing through the rain on day one of "Summer", that these wonderful brogues and just as wonderfully waterproof. Wanted Shoes, I love you. It's so good to have a pair of transeasonal flats for once, as well. I'll have to show you the fun wingtip detailing close up some time!

On another note, I look strangely young in these photos. I'll wait 10 years to be grateful for that.




Not much else to say today, except that I'm running around getting things together for my formal tomorrow night :) I think I've mentioned it once or twice, and I'm so very excited to show you all what I'm wearing! Photos to come for sure.

P.S. Don't forget to enter the $100 Westfield Gift Card Giveaway!! A serious kickalong for Christmas!

Zanita Zanita.

At the end of last week I had the absolute pleasure of shooting with the talented and gorgeous Zanita. Just as she is an amazing model, I'm such a fan of Zanita's dreamy photography (which you can admire HERE at her blog) and creativity, so it was an honour for me to run around with her and a pile of clothes for a morning!

These are some of the final shots - you can see more of them over at Zanita's blog HERE.

Stop slouching.

YesStyle.com Pocket Blouse - Shilla Khaki Studded Harem Shorts - Swedish Hasbeens Skyhigh Clogs in Natural Leather from Solestruck.com - FENDI Vintage Sunglasses

No leaping around today :) In the few days I've owned them, I've gotten so precious about the flawless leather on these Swedish Hasbeens clogs (thanks to Solestruck.com) that I'll do nothing but walk in straight lines in them. As most of you know, I never did jump on the clog bandwagon while they stormed the runways last season, but these are so beautiful in their own right (and super comfortable at that). The light leather is such a dream for summer. Check out some other fantastic colours that played a decent part in softening my turned back to clogs HERE.

I was pretty glad that I found this door that was the same colour as these equally wonderful shorts lent to me by the wonderful girls of Shilla. It must be the day for breaking down past barriers, given that I haven't been an advocate of harems until I realised that shorts like these don't make legs look half their length like full length pants do. The combination of my favourite pale pastel-type colours, studded khaki and breezy slouch of top and bottom makes for a decent stroll down shady lanes. Be sure to keep up Shilla's adventures HERE.






How have all your weeks been? I've been on a depressing hunt for a formal dress for my formal coming up in less than a month (eep) - where each dress I fall in love with gets progressively more expensive than the last, the latest being this beauty. Sigh, any suggestions?
