Winter Brights

-
Well, winter has arrived in Brisbane!  This week we had a few cold and windy days, so it was definitely time to get out the jeans and jumpers!  I have lots of cardigans and jackets, but not many jumpers.  On windy days, nothing beats a jumper to keep the cold out.  There are lots of colourful and fun chunky knits around at the moment, so the other day I spied this one and bought it.  It was originally $60 and was reduced to $20, which was a great deal.  I love the colours and the zipper detailing.  I also love that it's bright and fun, which is a nice alternative to all the greys and black around at this time of year! 

Outfit 1:
Jumper: Rockmans
Jeans: Suzanne Grae


Frida Cat Brooch: Blossom and Cat
I thought Frida the Cat would be the purrfect accessory for this jumper.  Isn't she sweet?

Earrings: Lovisa
These earrings are a new purchase.  I love the colours and style and I think they complement this jumper nicely! 

Ring: Chakra 
Bag: Colette Hayman
This was my go-to bag over summer.  Perfect for hot summer days and equally vibrant for cold and windy winter days!

Outfit 2:
Top: Sussan
Jacket: Millers
Pants: Rockmans
After looking at the photos of this outfit, I made the horrifying realisation that it kind of looks like I'm not wearing anything under my jacket!  Eeeeek!  Trust me, I was wearing a pale lilac t-shirt underneath, but due to the lighting you can hardly see it!  I showed my 8 year old this photo to see what he thought, as you know you're always going to get an honest opinion from a kid!  He said that it looked like I wasn't wearing anything under the jacket and that my blog friends might faint when they see it!!  Hahaha! 

We'll, hopefully you're still with me and didn't faint afterall! 


Sammy the Smart Sloth Brooch: Erstwilder
Sammy's back!  It's been a while since I have worn Sammy, but as always, he is such a fun brooch to wear!  Nobody can see Sammy and not smile!  He has a way of brightening up even the gloomiest of days. 

Earrings: Lovisa

Bag: present from Mum (Thailand)

    What a great deal on that fun striped knit - perfect for winter! :)

    I really like that magenta outfit too - even if it did make me do a double take with the pastel top underneath looking a bit like skin tone, haha!

    Hope that you are having a great weekend! We had our son's birthday party today and it was loud but fun :)

    First of all, to put your mind at rest: I did not faint ;-) Had a good chuckle at your 8 year old's comment, though. Cheeky but cute! My favourite is your first outfit, as I totally love that jumper and the way you accessorized it. The Tucan bag, Frida the cat and those divine earrings are all perfect with it. Have a most wonderful weekend, Sasha! xxx

    I'm pleased that you have added colour to your Winter outfits as when the weather is bleak a nice bright outfit lifts the mood. I must admit your son certainly must be a bit of a character as I didn't think you would not wear a tshirt under your jacket in winter, ha.ha. Flossie 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
