Brilliant Brooches!

-
I have quite an extensive collection of Erstwilder brooches!  (This is not a sponsored post.  I just love them and want to share them with you!)  I only started collecting them in 2017 and my collection has expanded rapidly!  I had never really thought of brooches as an accessory that would appeal to me, but when I first discovered Erstwilder, I soon became hooked!  I just love their fun and quirky designs and how they can take any outfit from drab to fab!  

I have my brooches set up on a special display stand, so that I can admire them at all times!  The only problem with that is that I often forget to actually wear them!  I recently wore a brooch (see below in outfit 2) for Mother's Day and this has now prompted me to get back into wearing brooches!  I also enjoy seeing the brooches Ann wears on her blog Polyester Princess.  Thanks for the brooch inspiration, Ann!😉

Outfit 1:
Top: Sussan
Cardi: thrifted

Although my brooches are fabulous, Amber is always the best accessory!😉

Here are some of the (many) brooches I own!  Aren't they cool?  I'm going to make sure I wear them more often!



Do you own any Erstwilder brooches?  Do you wear any other brooches?  How extensive is your collection?  Let me know!  I'd love to hear from you!

    Wow, what a lovely collection of brooches. I received a lovely Erstwilder seahorse for Mother's Day to add to my collection. I do agree Amber is the best accessory. I like both outfits but no.1 wins just because of that gorgeous owl brooch. Flossie xxx

    You have such a great collection! I really love the lion cub one, with a little one who is obsessed with the Lion King it sticks out to me, haha! :)

    I don't have any brooches which is a shame as they really add something special to an outfit I think! Accessories always do - even if Amber is the cutest accessory!

    Hope that you have been having a nice weekend :)

    I'm swooning over your collection of Erstwilder brooches, Sasha! I don't own any, but then again I own over 400 other brooches ;-) So pleased to have inspired you! I'd love to see how you have them displayed. I don't think I've seen those two before but love them both. How groovy is the owl, and how sweet are the lioness and cub! I'm wearing at least one brooch every day. If for some reason I forget, I feel out of sorts all day. Have a great 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
