Winter Greens

-

I (surprisingly) have quite an extensive collection of scarves.  I say surprisingly because living in a sub-tropical climate means there's not many weeks in a year that warrant wearing them!  As an accessory aficionado (self-proclaimed!) though, I of course love them, even if I don't wear them often living here!

When I lived in Japan, the winters were cold, so wearing a (heavy) scarf was less about style and more a necessity to keep warm!  In Autumn, it was fun to wear lighter scarves for the cooler days, and so my wear scarves for fun rather than warmth collection was born!  

About half of the scarves in my collection were bought overseas by me and the other half were bought overseas by Mum! Thanks Mum! Although I have been to New York, the scarf I am wearing in this photo was bought by Mum when she visited New York not too long ago.   This was my first wear of this scarf and I absolutely loved it! 

The outfit:
Studded Knit Top: Rockmans
Skirt: Skallyrags
Boots: Colorado
Bag: Sportsgirl
Ring: Diva
Earrings: Rockmans
Scarf: present from Mum

    Glad to hear you've got such a collection of scarves to wear for fun! Indeed, they can be an essential addition to one's outfit, whatever the season. Love the fresh greens in your outfit. Your skirt is fabulous and how sweet are your earrings! xxx

    Oh what a fun scarf! That's such a nice gift. I always love getting scarves as a gift, they are such fun additions to an outfit, although you're right we don't need to wear them for warmth very often!

    I do take advantage of scarf weather when I can - and this week is a good one, so cold!

    Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

    This outfit is made even more lovely with adding a scarf. I look forward to seeing more from your scarf collection during the colder months.

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
