Studs & Velvet & Birds! Oh, My!

-

I bought these grey velvet sneakers yesterday and I couldn't wait to wear them today!  They were only $5 from Kmart, so obviously they are not real velvet, but I thought they were cute, so I got them! 

I thought I'd stick with a greyish theme by pairing it with my recently purchased black marle studded top and maxi skirt.  I continued the stud theme by adding my studded ring and bag.

As much as I like the look of my new sneakers, they were not very comfortable to wear.  Although, for $5 I'm not too disappointed!  I can always wear them when I go to the cinema or to meet a friend for coffee:  these shoes are definitely not made for walking, that's for sure!😉

The outfit:
Studded Top: Target
Skirt: Skallyrags
Shoes: Kmart



Earrings & Ring: Lovisa
Bracelet: Mimco
Bag: Banned Apparel


Have you ever bought a pair of shoes that turned out to be uncomfortable but you kept them anyway?!  Let me know!  I'd love to hear from you! 


Thank you for visiting my blog! XXX

    Oh, I hate uncomfortable shoes! What a shame, as they seem like a nice pair. I often buy shoes at a cheap local shop, and they always turn out to be the most comfortable ever. Loving the bag! How cute those birds are! xxx

    You get what you pay for...They are really cute, though. A note about "real velvet": velvet is a weave (like satin or tweed), not a fabric (Iike cotton or silk). If it has the velvet texture, then it's real velvet - but velvets can come in polyester, silk (very soft), cotton (stiff), and other fibres. If it's velvet on a knit, then it's velour. I love learning stuff like that about clothes, don't you?

    I love the rest of your outfit - the pattern mixing is stellar!

    I really like your outfit as the mix of patterns really work. What a shame the shoes are only suitable for short outings. I have a cupboard, & more actually, of shoes which look good but certainly don't feel good. I've even found expensive ones can still fall into this category ie. nice to look at but not that good to walk distances. Grin and wear it I guess is the motto???

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
