Remember to breathe

alvina wears

Nuu + Naan hoodie dyed by me
All over me maxi skirt
ICE high neck crop top
Staccato leather platform boots
Oggi Domani leather satchel bag

As you may be aware already, I always put my hand up for clothes that allow you to breathe and feel almost naked in. I wear this combination to work all the time because it enables me to be rapidly mobile, as my job requires constant moving around and climbing up and down ladders =D. I've been too busy just working, studying and squeezing a social life so I was more than happy to relax with Anna on this day! Hope you all have a productive and relaxing week =D xoxo

Golden time

anna wears

sass & bide tee
dotti skirt
miu miu bracelet
sportsgirl sunnies
kenji wedges

This sequinned tee is perfect for adding that daytime glitz to spruce up your outfit! Paired it with simple black accessories for an easy, sparkly look.

There has been a ridiculously long gap since the last post. To the point where it's strange to see me with such short hair. Makes me want to get a hair cut again, but I know I should stick to growing it out. Decisions decisions!

Baggy Boy

alvina wears

old cap with a personally stitched green foam mat
vintage sheer organza shirt
agent 99 white dress
wittner suede ankle boots
vintage bally rucksack

Due to my carefree spirit and fear of anything restricting, I stay away from clothes that are a little too tailored and tight fitting. So I guess recently I have adopted a more baggy and boyish silhouette. The organza shirt was only $3 at good old Salvos!! Hope you all have a comfy week ;p

Hello again

sportsgirl top and necklace
levi jacket
zimmermann skirt
miu miu bag and bracelet
chanel ring
roberto del carlo boots

Hey guys, so sorry for the long absence. It's been almost 3 weeks, although it does feel much longer! So much has been going on in our lives, a lot has been changing, so we got a bit caught up in it all. Hopefully we get a little extra time for blogging, because we really don't like leaving it abandoned for so long!

I bought this top for about $13, which is pretty awesome considering it's perfect for layering, or even as a beach cover-up. I'm also quite stoked that I bought this skirt, because i've worn it countless times, as it's easy and goes with everything. Don't you just love purchases like that? =)

Do It Yourself

alvina wears

nuu + naan hoodie redyed by myself
agent 99 white dress dyed by myself
vintage bally rucksack
wittner ankle boots

I had a hefty amount of dylon dye left over so I decided to practice my prints onto old garments. I have an obsession with metropolises so I had to incorporate it on my print =) If you have any old garments that you feel like you're not wearing lately maybe juice it up with some dye with your own print creations? Have a good week everyone ;p xoxo

The Perfect Gift

alvina wears

bowler hat given by sweet french girl
ted baker printed tee/dress
DIY embellished back pack

I was sick of my back packs getting drenched in the rain and soaking my precious contents!! So I decided to make use of my leftover PVC collection under my bed and turn it into a raincoat for a plain old red back pack. I stitched on bath foam mat pieces for some decoration =). The bowler hat was also given to me on a night out by a French girl I just met and I have adored it ever since <3 Hope you all had an ace week ;p xoxo

Blow me away

anna wears

vintage tee
marcs belt and skirt
chanel ring
house of harlow necklace
wittner wedges

I tend to not wear maxi skirts/dresses a lot, but then what's the point of having one in possession, which is why I decided to wear it out. They are really easy and comfortable to wear, which is always a bonus, but you have to be careful when on escalators, as there is the risk of the skirt getting caught in one of the steps (it happened to me once, although luckily I quickly pulled it out)! Decided to wear it with gold accents, and a hint of purple.

Studded Jewels

anna wears

alice in the eve top

marcs pants

levis jacket

miu miu clutch bag

diva ring

charlotte olympia flats

Yellow Vest

alvina wears

griffin silk vest
temt tank
red berry skirt
wittner suede ankle boots
lovella ring

The vest was actually worth in the $300 for its beautiful silk and embroidery but I bagged it for $25 at my good old local vintage store =) . It was also originally a mens vest but I hand stitched the waist so that it would sit on me yay =D For me, despite the fit of the garment, if i love the fabric i will just purchase it so i can just make alterations. Teehee hope you all had a nice week ! xoxo

Short hair

anna wears

marcs tee

forever new skirt

tony bianco boots

mimco bracelet

dotti hat

sportsgirl brooch

So this is my new haircut! It's pretty much only the length that's changed, but for me that was a big difference! I basically love hair that has soft curls or waves, and with my new short length I decided to add that element to it as well. Keeping it really simple on a hot Summer's day with a tee and skirt, but added the hat to make it more interesting =) Hope everyone's having a great week xoxo

Naked Pastels

alvina wears

two toned sheer silk georgette & jersey top made by self

woollen jersey tank made by self (worn underneath)

reversible skirt with silk georgette detail made by self

staccato calf skin ankle boots

sportsgirl bag

mazal ring

Don't you just love clothes that make you feel naked and free? =D The garments were fun to make but it is going to be hard to maintain because it's all hand wash/dry clean, so I better be careful not to stain them >_<.. Anyways Autumn is approaching in Sydney and I can't wait =) have a lovely weekend everyone xoxo
