My Fave 5: Brooches! Which is your fave?

-
Earlier this year I discovered brooches! I had never even thought about brooches before I discovered Erstwilder!  Erstwilder is an Aussie company based in Melbourne.  This is not a sponsored post: I just love their designs! 

I have nine Erstwilder brooches in my collection (so far!😉). I love them all so it was hard to choose my fave five! Here they are (in no particular order):

1) Bubblegum Pop Princess by Erstwilder.


I love the colours in this brooch and that it is based on the Harajuku girls in Tokyo. Tokyo is my fave city and I love visiting Harajuku to see the colourful and interesting street fashion styles.  In Harajuku you can see every kind of fashion imaginable! Even if the fashions aren't your own style, it is so inspiring to see such colour and creativity everywhere!

2) Breton Kitty by Erstwilder.


I couldn't resist this brooch when I first saw it! It's quite plain compared to the others, but is definitely one of my favourites. This is my version of a more subtle, classic brooch!!

3) Nishikigoi by Erstwilder.


The colours in this brooch are absolutely beautiful in real life. They shimmer in the sun and each colour is so rich and vibrant.  Brooches like this really are wearable art!

4) Copacabana by Erstwilder.


I love this Carmen Miranda inspired brooch.  The colours are amazing and it adds sparkle and fun to every outfit!

5) Neko the Beckoner by Erstwilder.


I love this brooch because it combines my two great loves: Japan and cats! His left hand up means he's beckoning good luck. If his right hand was up it would mean he was beckoning wealth.

Amber has chosen her fave brooch! I have a feeling Amber would choose wealth over luck, so she should have her right hand up!!


It is so hard to choose a favourite, but I think I'm going to agree with Amber and choose the Neko the Beckoner brooch.  I love that it combines my love of cats and Japan into the one brooch! Unlike Amber though, I would beckon for good luck and good health over wealth!!😉

Which is your fave? Do you wear brooches? Let me know! I'd love to hear from you!

    All of your brooches are really lovely. My favourite?? A bit hard to decide. I guess whatever Amber likes I have to like as well so maybe, Neko the Beckoner. I'm sure she would choose good fortune as she already has wealth living with such a devoted Mummy.

    They're all so pretty but I like the Copacabana brooch the best. So summery and fun!

Up, Up & Away!

Do you consider yourself to be adventurous?  What does it mean to you to be adventurous?  Has the meaning of adventurous changed for you as you've grown older?   The other day I was out shopping with the family and noticed a new play area for kids, with hot air balloons painted on the walls.  After a quick family game of table tennis in which I truly sucked, the images of hot air balloons got me thinking about adventures and what it means to be adventurous.   I've never been adventurous in the extreme activities kind of way, such as partaking in skydiving, bungee jumping or even hot air ballooning!  I've never been interested in the first two activities, but I would like to ride in a hot air balloon and float up, up and away into the sky! In my twenties, I was adventurous in terms of travel and exploring new places.  I moved to Japan for two years when I was twenty one and travelled all around Japan (and other parts of Asia) by myself.  I always tried ne

Colourful Crop Cardis & Midi Skirts

Our internet is in and out at the moment, so while it's in , I'm going to go for it! The outfits I'm sharing with you today are quite different on the surface, as the colour schemes are dramatically different!  The first one has lots of autumnal colours and a bit of a 1970s vibe and the second one features more summery colours with a slight nautical vibe!  When I wore these outfits recently, I never thought they were similar at all, until I was going through my blog photos and realised both outfits were made up of colourful tees, cropped cardis and midi skirts!  So in that realisation, this post was born! My favourite outfit is the first one, because I haven't worn those colours much before and I was happy pairing these items together for the first time!  I like the second outfit as well, but I do wear blue and red together quite often.  Actually, it might be a good outfit for Australia Day, which is coming up soon!

Can you believe it is almost the end of February?  I am still getting used to it being 2019, and the second month is already almost over!  This is my last week to get everything sorted out before my postgraduate studies resume again next week.  I haven't even ordered my textbooks yet!  I really need to get organised!   In the outfit I'm sharing today, I'm wearing one of my fave maxi skirts that I've had for many, many years!  I've worn it with many different coloured tops over the years, but this was the first time wearing my new burgundy coloured top.  I love the burgundy and wine colours that are around at the moment.  They're so pretty! The outfit: Top: H & M Skirt: Tree of Life Sandals: Gino Ventori Necklace: Diva I've had these beads for so many years now, but I never tire of wearing them!  They add a bit of colour and cheer to every outfit.   Bag: Marikai This bag is a new purchase.  I had been on the lo
