Venturing out with Frida Kahlo!

Frida Kahlo Tote Bag by Studio Strand


I ventured out for the first time post-surgery today for a short time.  I am still quite sore and can't drive yet, so my first trip out was to the local library with my family.  Not a particularly exciting destination but I was happy to be out of the house! 

I decided that my Frida Kahlo tote bag was perfect as a library bag.  Frida Kahlo is one of my favourite artists of all time.  Her art and personal style is still relevant and inspiring. Mum bought me this tote bag when she was in New York City last year.  I love it so much! 

My outfit:
Dress: Crossroads
Crochet cardi: Crossroads
Shoes: Chocolaticas



My accessories:
Necklace: Eden Grace
Bangle: Sportsgirl
Ring: Goldmark


Speaking of Frida Kahlo, mum found these awesome cosmetics when she was in Hawaii! They all have Frida's artwork on them and the colours are beautiful.  Thanks mum!😉

    I, too, love Frida Kahlo as I think she was way ahead of her time in the fashion stakes. She was certainly a fascinating woman. That bag is gorgeous and I think matches with your outfit to be a full "Frida" expression. I must tell my Mum to buy these things for me when she visits these places!!!

    I love the bag, and the nailpolishes, what great gifts! :)

    I'm glad you're feeling better and up to getting out even if it is just a walk to the library - it's nice to get out the house for a change! :)

    Hope you are having a great start to the week and all your Christmas preparation is going well! I'm hoping to wrap some more presents today!

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
