The Birds & The Beads!!

-

It has been so hot and humid the last few days with thunder storms every evening.  It's the kind of heat that causes you to sweat every time you move.  Not pleasant!  

It's a good thing I have this blog because it encourages me to be more creative with my outfits and to make the most of my wardrobe.  Otherwise, in this heat, I would be tempted to just wear the same two sleeveless dresses I own every day just to stay cool!  Thankfully, I've been in aircon most of the week!

I bought this skirt a few years ago in Japan.  I love the colours and the bird print.  I decided to stick with the blue and green colour theme for my accessories and chose to use my peacock bag to continue the bird theme!

The outfit:
Top: Sussan
Skirt: Bought in Japan
Shoes: Holster



Ring: Madame Butterfly
Watch: AVON
Cuff: Bought at Op-Shop
Bag: Bought at local markets



Necklace: Bought at local pop-up store

I was coming out of my local supermarket the other day and noticed there was a little pop-up store setting up outside.  I waited to see what they were selling and imagine my delight when I saw that it was beaded necklaces! Woo hoo!  They were only $5 each, so I bought two! Who knew buying groceries could be so much fun?!!😉

    Love the title! Your skirt is utterly fabulous, Sasha, and so is the peacock bag. I love peacocks! Another great necklace too. We had a mild sunny day today, which was a relief. I don't envy you your hot weather, as I'm not very good with heat and humidity. Being a lady of a certain age doesn't really help ;-) Have a great weekend, and keep cool! xxx

    "Never give up on things that make you smile"!! What a great quote. I would think that looking at that gorgeous Amber every day would certainly make me smile!! Oh, also, I do like your outfit, especially your bag and skirt, too, as well.

    What a great necklace - and a bargain price! I love how well your prints all work together in this outfit too.

    I have definitely been feeling the heat from this heatwave! I've defaulted to shorts and tanks as my summer uniform, just switching it up a little with accessories and maybe a kimono. Too hot to think of anything else, haha!

    Hope you had a great weekend. It was another fairly quiet and aircon filled weekend for us!

      Thanks so much, Mica! The necklace sure was a great buy! ;) The heatwave has been exhausting, hasn't it? How have your boys coped with the heat? Luckily my boy doesn't feel the heat as much as I do! :) 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
