In The Garden!

-

I'm still kind of getting used to having to take blog photos outdoors to get decent photos!  I feel rather foolish posing for photos in my front yard!  Luckily my elderly neighbours haven't seen me posing yet, because they would think my husband and I are weird wandering around the garden trialling different poses and backdrops!  Although, they probably already think we're weird, so they might not be surprised at all! Ha! 

Although I am still looking for the perfect (and secluded!) backdrop to take blog photos, my garden was the perfect setting for this outfit, which features a bird print skirt and chunky flower ring!  This skirt is one of my all-time favourites.  I bought it several years ago in Japan and I just love the colours and the bird print.  I absolutely adore animal motifs on clothing and this skirt is no exception!

I decided to pair it with a plain navy tee and added tan shoes, a tan bag and my vibrant pink beads and chunky rose ring.  I therefore couldn't resist posing next to the one lone rose in our garden!  


The Outfit:
Top: Sussan
Skirt: bought in Japan
Watch: bought in Japan
Necklace: Millers
Sunglasses: thrifted

Here's how I wore this skirt last time on the blog:

I've had to recycle these Amber photos for now, as I haven't been able to take any new ones inside yet.  Amber is an indoor cat, so unfortunately I can't get any cute shots of her frolicking in the garden with me!  Ha! In my local area there is a lot of native fauna, including koalas and possums, so she has been raised indoors, so that she doesn't harm the wildlife.  Rest assured she gets lots of exercise chasing my son (& the other way around!) and of course when she is modelling for the blog!  Ha!


Thank you for visiting my blog!  XXX

    I think your phone drama has been not all bad, as I like the fact that you are experimenting with your locations. It's nice to showcase your outfits outside. Amber is probably peeking through the windows & wondering what is happening. Flossie xxx

      I'm sure you're right, Flossie! Amber does like to know what's going on at all times! ;) Thanks so much! XXX

    It's great you are having fun trying to find new photo spots and making the most of the less than perfect camera on your phone - it really does take good pics outside!

    That's such a cute skirt too, I like the pink with it! :)

    Hope that you are having a nice week so far :)

      Thanks so much, Mica! It's certainly helping me to be more creative with locations! I do miss the simplicity of the hallway though! ;). XXX

    Lovely to see you out and about in your garden. It's been really cold here, so it's almost unimaginable to be posing in the garden in a short sleeved top! The print of your skirt is just fabulous and I covet your pink rose ring! Have a lovely week, Sasha! xxx

      Thanks so much, Ann! I thought you'd like that ring! ;) It was so hot today that I would've melted if I'd taken photos outside! ;) XXX

    I love your outdoor shots Sasha, it really makes a difference. I can never take photos indoors, they always look naff! Thanks for joining the linkup. Jacqui Mummabstylish

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
