Foxes & Owls!

-

I love animal motifs on clothing and accessories.  I have a few items of clothing with animals on them, but mostly I have animals in the form of fun accessories!  Necklaces, rings, brooches, scarves, bags and shoes!  You name it, I've most likely got an animal on it!😊

Since I started blogging two years ago, I've featured many of my fave animals in accessory form, but today I thought I would feature two of my all-time faves: foxes and owls!  Of course, Amber was not at all impressed that I didn't choose to do another kitty accessory feature!  Doesn't she realise by now that she is the kitty accessory feature??😹


In the first outfit, I have featured my gorgeous fox brooch, Mr Oscar Wildenfox!!  I actually built the entire outfit around him!  I knew I wanted to wear orange, and I love orange and blue together, so I chose the skirt out of my wardrobe and continued to construct this outfit!  I added some rose gold accessories, rose gold shoes and my wonderful thrifted multicoloured bag to complete the look! 


In the second outfit, I used my new owl print scarf as the inspiration!  I love that shade of powder blue, so this was a welcome addition to my wardrobe!  Thanks Mum😉 I went with a various shades of blue and grey theme, added some accessories and my rose gold shoes to complement the gold foil print on the scarf.

Do you wear clothing/accessories with animal motifs?  Do you have a favourite animal or accessory that you like to wear?  Let me know!  I'd love to hear from you! 




I don't talk much about my private life on this blog because it is predominantly about sharing my love of all things fashion.  This time though, I just wanted to share a cause that I am personally and professionally passionate about promoting.  That is: encouraging an open dialogue about mental health issues and suicide prevention.  This week on Tuesday it is World Suicide Prevention Day and on Thursday it is R U OK? Day here in Australia. 

The message is simple: if you see someone struggling, ask them how they are doing.  Ask them if you can help them in any way.  Listen with empathy and compassion and help them to get help, if they want it.  If you are the one that is not OK, please talk to a loved one about how you feel.  There is help available.  You are valuable and the world needs you.


Thank you for visiting my blog! XXX

    I think your idea of using owls & foxes is so cute. I also love your use of accessories. I really admire your decision to make everyone aware to check with your family and friends if they are okay. Well done Sasha. Flossie xxxx

    You always have the cutest accessories and I love the owl scarf, how pretty! :)

    Such a good cause to share, R U OK day! I hope you are okay, I know we haven't chatted for a while as life has been crazy but I'm definitely up for a catchup in the school holidays if you're not too busy with uni and I do truly hope everything is ok for you. You can email me any time if you need to vent / want a friendly ear!

    Hope that you had a great weekend :) Thank you so much for joining the #weekdayWearLinkUp :)

    I love animal motifs too, especially when it comes to accessorizing. My favourite is your first outfit, as the colours speak to me the most. And I have to confess I'm totally in love with Oscar Wildenfox :-) Hope you're having 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!

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
