Australia Day Dress!

-

Yesterday was Australia Day and I've been enjoying a nice and relaxing weekend.  It was a really hot day yesterday (as is today!😉), so I chose to wear my new dress, that just happens to be in the colours of the Aussie flag!

I never wear sleeveless tops or dresses, because I don't like to show my jiggly bare arms, but it was soooo hot that I figured, who cares?!😉I actually really like this dress and it was so nice and cool and comfy.  

The outfit:
Dress: Autograph
Shoes: Birkenstock




The bag: Banned Apparel

How cool is this bag?!  I love it so much!  I bought it in the Boxing Day sales!


 Necklace: Hot Lips Shoes
Ring: Lovisa



We made Damper in the afternoon and it was delicious!  My seven year old had a great time kneading the dough!

We also ate Lamington Fingers, which were also yummy, but store bought, so not as good as our Damper!😉

    Happy Australia Day! What the heck is Damper? It looks like some sort of pastry. And Lamington Fingers?? Are they a dessert?

    I'm glad you got to the "what the hell" realization and let your jiggly bits roam free (hee hee). I have so many jiggly areas, but I really don't give a flying f**k - I just pretend they aren't there!

    Aw, Amber kitty. Scritch scritch on the head for her!

      Thanks so much, Sheila! I've just added links, so you can check out what Damper and Lamingtons are! I should've put links there to begin with: sorry about that! I love that you don't give a flying f**k about jiggly bits either! ;) It's taken me so long to embrace the "who cares?" philosophy about my appearance and style, but now that I have, it's so liberating! I passed on lots of head scritches to Amber on your behalf! ;) XXX

    I'm pleased you enjoyed Australia Day with food. Any excuse sounds great to me. I'm pleased you aren't worried about jigglt bits as who cares really? Enjoy just being young and not care about other people's insecurities. I like the complete outfit & happy Australia Day to you.

    I've looked up both Damper and Lamington fingers, as I'd never heard of them, and both sound quite delicious. The sleeveless dress looks lovely on you, and perfect for staying cool on a hot day. I love the necklace and ring. Amber is a great model, as always, although she does look a bit bored in that first photo ;-) xxx

      Thanks so much, Ann! Haha, yes, Amber does tend to get bored sometimes during photo shoots! She's such a diva! ;) XXX

    That's a cute dress and I don't see anything wrong with your arms - glad you embraced them, in this heat it's so hard to wear anything more than the bare essentials (We spent yesterday in the pool so bikini for me, it was all I could manage in the humidity anyway!)

    Hope that you are having a great long weekend!

      Aww, thanks so much Mica! I agree that in this heat it is so hard to wear anything more than bare essentials without melting! Hope you enjoyed your long weekend, too! :) XXX

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
