Collar Cool

Who doesn't like yellow, seriously. It's an instant mood lifter, and it goes with a whole rainbow of colours too. I feel like this sweater didn't get worn as much as it should have this past Winter, but I know i'll never get sick of this gorgeous colour, so expect to see it a lot more once Autumn comes around! The weather was quite lovely this day, albeit a little windy, but the sun was out and the park was so pleasant all round. I'm always a fan of having greenery in the photos, it's like no effort required. Just let your surroundings do the talking.

@hanabi

It feels like we haven't done a food related post in a while! Anyway Hanabi has been featured before, but we frequent it way too much to not have a second mention. The pumpkin/meat dish is like comfort food for us, it's always hearty and never fails to satisfy our hunger. Super delicious and just a great meal in general!

This is my ultimate favourite dish in the Korean restaurants in the whole of Sydney! The soft tender boiled meat softly disassembles in the mouth whilst highly complimented by lavish pumpkin. Mmm my mouth waters once more just thinking about it. Although Anna & I demolished this thing (serving size 3-4 people) and we literally could not walk for the fear of popping stomachs! The great thing about every Korean restaurant is their generous free side dishes =D Although this one compared to others were a little stingy, I guess we couldn't complain because it was still free.

IKEBANA

I was fascinated by the principles of ikebana, one of them especially being that in the form of ikebana (japanese flower arrangement), the arrangement is found rather than planned. Which was exactly like this top, where i started off with two rectangle pieces and improvised to the finish. Chose some shapes to give the top some irregular balance and harmony. Hope you all have a fun filled week =) xoxo

It is absolutely amazing how these jeans feel. They're like velvety smooth, with the perfect amount of stretch, so they definitely tick all the boxes on the comfort list. I loooove the colour as well, so it's quite a task not to rave on about them, as they really are the perfect jean. This pair is actually my introduction to the brand, and so far all the others I have seen have been similar quality, so I am very pleased with AG jeans. I might get myself another pair, perhaps in lemon yellow...but I might have to wait for them to go on sale, as they're a little too pricey for me at the moment.

I don't know, maybe i'm making it really obvious now as to what time we meet, because the sunnies make an appearance once again. And yes, it was about 9 in the morning so I had definitely rushed out of the house, and I wanted no extra hassle!

Pleats please

witchery sunnies

One of my newest editions to the wardrobe and become my favourites to wear is my Issey Miyake skirt! It feels like I'm wearing nothing, and swishes gently. It moulds to every curve which is good until i eat something, where it moulds to my popping tummy a little too much then i prefer.. Anyways have an awesome week =D xoxo

Feeling blue

bardot tee
one teaspoon vest
marcs pants
mimco heels
sportsgirl sunnies

I don’t think I do mornings too well, as these sunnies are a must whenever I meet Alvina anytime before 11am. Not only do they cover a tired face, they also make it so much easier and faster to take photos, as we are satisfied with almost every shot. Anyway Spring is still a little up and down, and this day was just in between, so I could go sleeveless for a while, until of course the wind came and I had to put a cardi on.

Just an easy, no fuss look once again. Cobalt was having a moment for a while, but I got these pants a little after the first wave of electric blue hit us. They’re a great colour to have in a pant, as it’s just perfectly subtle with the right amount of brightness, if that makes any sense at all. Mostly worn toned down with neutrals, as I don’t feel like looking like a crayola box exploded.

Frilled for Friday

Excuse my lame pun, but I was getting ready for a Friday night. Although i had work beforehand so i was a little overdressed for the time of the day. Hope you all have an awesome Friday to look forward to! xoxo

Lazy Afternoon

levi denim jacket
marcs chambray shirt
j.crew shorts
saba bag
gorman shoes
folli follie charm bracelet

I feel like a bit of a boy when I wear this shirt, but then I suppose the scallop detailing on the shorts sort of provides a needed contrast to make the outift a little more girly since I can no longer deny that girliness sums up my style. Although I could think of so many types of shoes that could go with this outfit, these Gorman peeptoes were my final choice, which I have concluded is the result of the glorious Spring weather on this day, hence the need to let my toes get some air!

My fair lady

I always yearned for the past when they wore more “lady like” dresses such as this one, which we kind of lack these days with all our mini skirts, short shorts and hooker party dresses hehe. The one i’m wearing is really comfortable and a little warm, perfect for a chilly spring. Well hope you all don’t forget to be a lady sometimes =p xoxo

Shimmer & Shine

Anna wears:

Marcs green silk shirt, Saveus vest, Gorman grey cardigan, Zimmermann gold skirt, Chanel ring, Miu Miu patent boots

Now that I look back on these photos, I didn't actually realise how festive I looked, with all the green, gold, and hints of red. Haha I hope I don't look too christmas-y! When it's raining and freezing outside, your natural instinct is to cover up, and that's exactly what I did. If I had gloves I would have worn them, and if I had a scarf with me, I would have definitely worn that too. Anyway the cute little envelope necklace is was Alvina's, but she has kindly given it to me saying she wanted it to have a new loving owner, which I took as my cue to provide this loving home. When you open it, it actually has a note saying 'I love you'. How adorable is that! ^_^
