Yellow, Denim & Toucans!

-


Well, the good news is, this is a new post!  The bad news is that my previous phone (and of course, camera) is beyond repair with no chance of resuscitation! Noooo! That means I've lost photos, downloads and notes forever!  Also, it means that no longer can my husband take a few quick blog photos in the hallway and then I'm done.  The camera on my new phone only takes reasonably decent photos outdoors, as the flash isn't good at all and really washes out the colours of an outfit, when taken inside.  Not exactly ideal when the whole point of my blog is to show my colourful outfits!  Anyway, now blogging will require a bit more planning and finding a suitable outside backdrop for photos.  Oh, and a willing husband to actually take the photos! 

Today we ventured out into the front yard and took a few photos.  They aren't great and the garage door background is not exactly appealing, but for now it will do!  It felt good to take photos again, even though I miss my old phone and the impromptu photos of the past.  

I built this outfit around my new fabulous Toucan Tote bag!  It only arrived the other day and I was so excited to use it!  Isn't it gorgeous?!  The colours are beautiful and I love the toucans and pom-pom tassel!  It will be the perfect bag for summer, which is just around the corner!

Top: Sussan
Kimono: Woven Heart
Crop Jeans: Avella
Shoes: Rivers
Sunglasses: Jag

    Well your new start is certainly a wow moment! It was well worth the wait as the outfit is great. Yellow isn't very kind to me but on you it is really great. The bag is as wonderful as the shoes, or even more wonderful Flossie xxx

    Your new bag is beautiful and so very fun! I like all the yellow in your outfit too! It's a shame you can't use your regular photo spot but I hope you can find a nice spot - these ones look good in the photos! The spring sun means I can't take photos in my usual spot and I'm scrambling to find a place that's good enough to take photos regularly. I'm kinda bossed about by the sunlight at the moment, haha!

    Hope that you are having a lovely weekend :) We are having another quiet and relaxing one here.

    So sorry you lost your photos! Dying over this kimono. The print is stunning and I adore your bag.

    Sorry to hear your phone is beyond resuscitation ... I actually think the garage door backdrop isn't too bad. But any backdrop would fade into insignificance with that fabulous outfit you're wearing. So much colour and gorgeousness! I love all the yellow, and of course that Toucan tote bag is utterly fabulous! Have a wonderful week, Sasha! 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
