The Joy of Beads

-

My last accessory purchase was last week at the end of June.  Nothing fancy or expensive, just some coloured chunky beads.  I do have a thing for beads though and I think you can never have too many!  I would much prefer loads of bright and colourful chunky necklaces to one expensive dainty one!  

As you know, I'm going to give this 'No buy July' thing a go.  I think where I'll struggle most is with accessories, like this beaded necklace.  The necklace was only about $5, so I usually don't think twice about making such a small purchase!  Over time though, it adds up, so I will do my best for this month and hope it carries through into the following months.  No promises though!

I wore my new beads twice this week.  Here are the outfits!

    Your beaded necklace is beautiful! I love it in both outfits, the colours pair with so much!


    Good luck with no buy July too! I'm trying to avoid the Shopbop sale, that's always the hardest part about no buy July. It's true too, you realise little purchases add up over time, it's nice to have the month to stop buying and just reflect!

    Hope that you're having a great week so far! :)

    Your new beads go nicely with both outfits. I'm a bit of a bead lover also so I understand your loving them. Bright ones can make a real difference to an outfit. Flossie

    Love the beaded necklace, and you're so right: you can't have enough of them. Accessories can really make a world of difference to any outfit. I love the skirt you're wearing in your first outfit and that kimono in your second outfit is just fabulous. You really suit these more colourful outfits, Sasha! Have a great weekend 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 Asi...

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! Outfit 1: Top: H&M Crochet ca...

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 ...
