Here's to a Magical 2018!

A close-up of my new unicorn skirt!

Happy New Year!  I still can't quite believe that 2017 is over and that 2018 has begun! I hope you had an enjoyable NYE, whether you stayed in or ventured out.

This year we decided to stay in.  We had thought about venturing in to the city to see the fireworks, but with the crowds and the heat and humidity, we decided to give it a miss.

We had a lovely night in with a delicious dinner and watched DVDs and played board games in the cool comfort of our air conditioned lounge room! My husband and I played hide and seek in the dark with our seven year old, lighting our way around the house with glow sticks!  There was a lot of giggling and fun to be had, although Amber looked at us like we were crazy running around in the dark!😂

Although we stayed in, I decided to wear my new unicorn skirt. I absolutely love this skirt! The fabric is of a really good quality and I love the pattern!  It's from an Aussie company called Rainbows and Fairies and they have the coolest stuff! (Not sponsored: just love them!😉). I've got my eye on another skirt already with ladybugs all over it!  There's also one with bees circling honey pots! Adorable!

I chose to wear my new unicorn skirt for NYE, because I guess, like unicorns, the start of a new year is magical, in that anything seems possible and the importance of making the most of every moment life brings, seems to be most meaningful.

I don't have any specific new year resolutions for 2018, but I do intend to embrace every day of this year with gratitude and purpose.  

The outfit:
Top: Sussan
Skirt: Rainbows and Fairies
Shoes: Holster






The accessories:
Necklace & bracelets: Diva
Ring: Lovisa



Do you have any plans/goals or resolutions for 2018?  Let me know! I'd love to hear from you!


Thank you for visiting my blog! XXX

    Oh that is such a fun skirt! Perfect outfit for spending NYE at home. We sent ours at home too, it was so humid here in Brisbane and they predicted storms so even if the boys had been old enough to stay up for the fireworks I don't think we would have gone. I ended up spending it in my pyjamas, fast asleep as expected, haha! I did wake up after midnight when everyone was upset by the fireworks though.

    Hope that 2018 is off to an amazing start for you.

    I really love that skirt. I'll have to check out the web site where you purchased it from. I haven't made any New Year Resolutions but like you, plan to try to enjoy every day as it comes. However, I am hoping to do some overseas and local travelling during the year. Best Wishes to you, your family and of course, gorgeous Amber for 2018.

    We often stay in on New Year's Eve, but this year we celebrate with friends at their house. Your New Year's Eve looks just perfect, and now I know that you have a seven year old! unicorn skirt is just fabulous, and I'm very much taken by the brand name, Rainbows and Fairies! Embracing each day with gratitude and purpose is an intention I can only endorse! xxx

    What a lovely skirt, and that sounds like a really fun night (I'm no good at hide & seek in the dark, though - I'm a klutz!). Happy New Year to you, my dear!

      Thanks so much, Sheila! It was lots of fun! I'm surprised I didn't fall over or bump into something actually because I'm a klutz 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!

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
