Selfmade Striped Turband - YesStyle.com.au Double-button Long Blazer - Ezzentric Topz Vintage Polka Dot Blouse - Fashops.com Pocket Shorts - We Love Colours Vertical Striped Thigh Highs in Charcoal - OSBORN Boots from ModCloth.com

Although these shots look somewhat like crap (I will continue to tell myself that the cars and ugly rails are to blame... and I don't like using Photoshop), I think this is probably the happiest I've been with my photographic adventures. I messed around with aperture and shutter speed today to get a natural backlight, and although I clearly have some problems with keeping my head still, I'd say I'm smiling at how they turned out.

I got a bit silly with mixing patterns today - I've been wearing these amazing OSBORN boots non-stop thanks to ModCloth, and I could see no better option than to shake them up with irregular spots, the bizarrely tangled stripes on this turband I made before I went to bed last night, and the less bizarrely tangled stripes on these We Love Colours stripey thigh-highs that are much more suited to warmer weather than my other ones.

I'm trying to get more wear out of this blazer before the mercury skyrockets - though I think the drapey pockets make it look less Wintry. Yes no? And, by the way, YesStyle.com and YesStyle.com.au are both offering free shipping when you order with PayPal until October 3! Which is a pretty big bonus - I always balk at shipping costs. So for Aussies, click HERE and for the rest of the world, click HERE to get shopping.





The more I look at it, the more I think that last shot looks like a film negative. It's messing with my eyes.

And now to announce the winner of the Lucky 13 giveaway! Congratulations to:

Move on over.

AL&ALICIA Meredith Dress - YDELTUYT Sunnies - We Love Colours Sheer Knee Highs in Teal - Rubi Lucy Boot - Lime Crime Lipstick in My Beautiful Rocket

Stealing the show today are these amazing sunnies from YDELTUYT - far far away in the Netherlands (I've always wanted to holiday there, but YDELTUYT makes up for that - clicky!). The gold frame is something I've never tried before, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm just a little in love. With pointed tips that are dipped a slightly different gold, there's nothing not to love here - and 100% UV protection is a plus... take it from an Aussie. I've played with a few different shapes of sunnies in preparation for Summer, and ironically, the weirdest and most wonderful (with a bit of A. Wang in mind) happened to make it to number one.

Next to the new vintage Fendi's of course :D

I can smell Summer. And I am insanely excited. So here's a deceptively simple little white dress by AL&ALICIA to celebrate (the pleats are so gorgeous). These We Love Colours socks are actually a bit more towards the green end of the spectrum than these shots show them to be, but either way, the weather now (starting to feel the heat!) is perfect to wear them - in their sheer glory. Before I left, I decided I felt a bit boring so just enough of My Beautiful Rocket to be the tiniest bit orange was a nice balancing act - tip of the century. When an outfit doesn't click, add something of the complete opposite colour. It always works. I swear.

On a bit of a depressing note though, my beloved bootsies appear to be slowing down to their last legs - despite my vehement denial that this is the case up until today when I discovered the hugest scratch on one of the heels (see below). I can wear platforms and ridiculous heels, wedges, and all other forms of shoe that I declare to be amazing, but I always come back to these favourites, so I'm thinking about how lost I'll be when they give up on me. Call me stupid for wearing them to absolute death, but who wouldn't when they're this amazing and versatile?

I need to find a new hairdresser. The past three have not been the best, and all I really want right now is a trim - not 5 inches hacked off, thank you very much! Any recommendations from Sydney-siders?

A pocket full.

Boutique Quilted Shoulder Coat - ClubCouture Crossback Floral Dress - We Love Colours Sheer Knee Highs in Nude - Zoe Wittner Ursula Wedge - Boutique Braided Leather Belt

This gorgeous dress from ClubCouture is continuing my streak of perfect floral prints and makes me want to find an endless field and a picnic with pink lemonade and Jane Austen type things (but having said that, the cut (crossback!) and perfect length are just as smiley-worthy). I pulled out this coat that I hadn't worn in a while, as well as these awesome We Love Colours knee highs - half the world tells me that hosiery lighter than my skin is a no-go. Wrong.

ClubCouture is a seriously impressive label that has just arrived in Australia and is also available for all you gorgeous international readers! They offer the widest selection of vibes, colours, cuts, textures, you name it, to jigsaw nicely into whatever you have in mind - they did for me anyway, especially with the extreme versatility of their pieces. What's there not to love about something that can be worn, unrecognisably, a million ways?

And just for you, ClubCouture is offering 15% off items storewide - just type in the code CCBLOG15 at checkout!
