My fave outfits of 2017 & Happy New Year!

-

Can you believe 2017 is about to come to an end?  I absolutely cannot wrap my head around it!  2017 has had it's ups and downs, but ultimately I am extremely grateful for all that I have and that at this point in time, all of my loved ones are safe and in good health.  

One thing that was completely new for me this year, was the world of blogging!  I only started looking at fashion blogs in around May/June this year and soon started to wonder about whether I could start my own blog!  At first I thought, no! I can't do it!  I don't know much about computers, I'm not thin, I'm not into the latest trends, I don't even own a proper camera!  

Then I thought about the title of one of my fave albums of all time by The Cranberries called, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?

With this sentiment in mind, I decided I would become a blogger!  I realised that setting up a blog account was surprisingly easy and that I can use the camera on my phone to take photos!  

I am still very new at blogging and my blog isn't at all fancy, but my main aim for blogging is as a hobby, to connect with other people and share my love of unique and quirky clothing and accessories!

I find it so exciting to get comments on my blog, because there are so many amazing blogs out there, that I can't believe anyone would take the time to visit my little non-fancy hobby blog!!  So, thank you so much for visiting my blog and for leaving me comments.  It is so nice to feel connected to other like-minded people from all over the world!



Without further ado, here are some of my fave outfits from 2017: 









Here are some more of the fabulous accessories I got for Christmas!


Sparkly pineapple and anchor necklaces, handmade by Dom at Tattooed Zombie
Spark the Owl necklace by Erstwilder
Flower necklace, handmade by Tassie Dazzle

Amber and I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year!  We hope that you have a wonderful 2018, filled with laughter, good health and happiness.  XXX

What are your plans for New Year's Eve?  Are you heading out on the town or having a quiet night?  Let me know!  I'd love to hear from you!

We'll be staying home this year, but I think I'll be dressing up anyway!


Thank you for visiting my blog! XXX

    Happy new year to you! :) I'm glad you took the plunge and started your own blog too! Don't worry about not having a 'fancy' blog, it's overrated! And I think your blog is quite nice anyway. People come back because of you, and the style and personality you add to your blog. Here's to many more months of blogging for you, and a very happy new year! :)

    I've only recently discovered your blog, I am so glad I did and that you decided to start blogging. I had my own doubts when I started out, but once I did I never looked back. I find that the best blogs are those kept as a hobby. I'm always looking forward to seeing your accessories. You've got such lovely necklaces, earrings and brooches. Wishing you a Happy New Year and many more years of blogging. It's so nice to have "met" you! xxx

    Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year. Also to dear Amber. I have enjoyed your blogs and am pleased you are continuing in 2018. I have found every blog interesting but have not always commented. I've looked, smiled and thought I must comment but not being quite able to put into words what I'm thinking I skip over and keep a look out for your next one. I think you certainly have lovely accessories in particular and like the way you combine them into your outfits.
    See you in 2018.

    Happy New Year, Sasha! I'm thrilled to have connected with you through the world of blogging - isn't it awesome? Comments are the best. I love all your outfits - they are all very "you", but of course your best accessory is our girl Amber! Hugs, and all the best for 2018. Sheila

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!

Burgundy & Beads!

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
