Wearing Florals in Winter

-
I cannot believe it is already halfway through August already!  How is that possible?  Speaking of the impossible, my beautiful son just turned nine years old!  How is that possible?  Life just keeps moving fast.  As the truly wise (haha!) Ferris Bueller said:

 "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it"  

With spring just around the corner, one cannot help but think of florals, despite Miranda Priestly's misgivings! Having said that, I do wear florals all year round and especially enjoy wearing them when it is cold and gloomy.  This past week has really been a four seasons in one day kind of week!  It's been cold, windy, sunny, warm, rainy and foggy!  The outfits in this post were worn before the cold and windy snap the past few days.  It's been way too gusty to wear midi skirts with bare legs the last few days! Haha! 

Outfit 1:
Top: H&M
Skirt: Big W

I do love this top from H&M!  It reminds me of Japan and I feel happy wearing it.  It was fun to accessorise with my floral earrings, red bag and fun black and red shoes.  


Ring: Equip
Bag: Handbag Republic

Earrings: Lovisa

Shoes: Habana Carmine Chocolaticas by HCD

Outfit 2:
Top: Sussan
Cardi: Rockmans
Skirt: Mix Apparel
Shoes: Rivers


Necklace: Tree of Life

Earrings: Lovisa

Ring: present from Mum
Bag: thrifted

This thrifted bag would have to be one of the best finds ever! It was brand new with tags on it and so reasonably priced!  What a bargain!

    Such cute skirts! And yes, what is with the weather? The Ekka winds are definitely here! The boys have the sniffles so we won't be going to the Ekka, the baby got really sick last year and had to go to hospital so I'm being very careful with them this year!

    Happy birthday to your son - amazing that he's 9 already, wow! Time flies!

    Hope that your week is off to a great start!

    Florals are for all seasons, never mind that horrible Miranda Priestly! Your first outfit is my favourite. Love that top and those shoes are divine. And what a fun bag, rings and earrings! That thrifted bag is indeed a fabulous find but of course, Amber is the perfect accessory in your second outfit! Happy birthday to your son, and congratulations to Mum too, Sasha ;-) xxx

    I love your 2 outfits, maybe the 1st one is slightly ahead. I think florals are great at anytime of the year. Your accessories are always perfect. So is Amber I think. 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
