NEWTOWN

 

Unfortunately we forgot to take a note of the restaurant's name, but it's a small Turkish place really close to the station!

I was excruciatingly hungry at the time of entry to this vibrantly decorated Turkish burger joint. Due to that fact, things were bound to taste more than satisfactory. I chose the chicken burger which was definitely a fail safe option... The soft bun melted into the juicy chicken pieces coated in a healthy amount of sweet chilli. There was a cheeky hint of chilli which accumulated into a kick to my tummy but it was all good nonetheless =D.

I loved this! The bread was very moist and delicious, and the dips were just divine. Hummus is always a winner so that was a given, but the chilli one was amazing. Very chilli indeed, but so worth it for the flavour <3

Yellow Vest

red berry skirt
wittner suede ankle boots

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

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

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

Vintage Classics

anna wears

vintage jacket
marcs blouse
zimmermann skirt
mimco bracelet
chanel ring
charlotte olympia flats

Sometimes all you really need is a preppy blouse, high waist skirt, and a classic boyfriend blazer, to get yourself a fail safe look. This jacket is a little big so it has quite a boxy fit, which makes it so easy to throw on over a rather fitted outfit. I have to say I have a huge love for all things blush, so really adore that the pale pink complements the ivory and gold quite well. Then I just had to add my kitty flats for that extra bit of character =p They really are the statement shoe, and I never fail to get compliments on them whenever I wear them! I still squeal a little when I see new season colours and textures show up, because they just work in so many ways.

This is actually the last set of photos with my old hair do, cause I went and got a huge chop straight after! It was kind of a shock at first, as it was noticeably shorter, but didn't take too long to get used to. I think hairdressers make it worse... they always ask me twice if I really want to cut so much, it's as if they think i'm making a huge mistake and want to indirectly let me know.

Short but Sweet

I love this skirt so much! It's such a sweet little thing, with the flare detail and gorgeous lime colour. Although it's ridiculously short, if I lengthen the straps by adding extra material, or just take them off altogether, i'm sure I will get a lot of use out of it. There's already a bunch of ideas in my mind on how to wear it come Winter, especially as tights/stockings will detract from its shortness. Here I am feeling a little unsure, standing in the middle of a huge football field wearing it, but really when you step out of the house in items such as this, it's best to wear it with confidence!

On another note, I joined the gym today, and found it to be quite fun. Although i'm not usually one for New Year resolutions, I feel it's time to start afresh and live a healthier, happier lifestyle by eating right and exercising. But really, I had decided on the gym in the middle of last year, so the start of 2013 is just an excuse to make it a more meaningful reason to start getting fit. It's all new to me, and I suppose anything that's new is exciting, but hopefully I keep this momentum up and go on a regular basis! Hope all your resolutions are going well if you made any =)

I like a girl with short short skirt & a looooong jacket

something else x ken done kaftan worn as tee
lee denim shorts
staccato calf leather boots

For some reason I feel the most comfortable in the combination mentioned in the title above =D (which is also a very catchy tune). Makes me feel snug, comfy and feminine =D It had been a little chilly here for "Spring", but we did get some sunshine soon! Peace out and have a lovely weekend xoxo

Kitty flats

anna wears

marcs shirt
subtitled jacket
milkandhoney pants
charlotte olympia kitty flats
vintage oroton bag
sportsgirl sunnies

It's been a while since i've welcomed these gorgeous shoes into my wardrobe, but here they are now, making their first appearance on the blog. They're just one of those items that immediately spruce up any outfit, and are so easy to wear. Paired with an otherwise pretty simple look of white shirt and printed pants, and a light jacket over the top as it was a little chilly. Have an amazing week everyone!

Princess Leia

alvina wears

top and skirt made by self
aldo pumps
stellino cuff
mazal ring

Work had a Star Wars theme and since I had no costume, I spun up a princess Leia-esque top and matching bottoms. I actually quite like wearing it a lot lately because being in all white feels strangely like i'm cleansed and pure haha! Anyways, may the force be with you all this week =D xoxo
