Sasha's Daily Style

Happy Monday to my blog friends!  I know it's only been a week since my last post, but it feels like it's been ages!  In my last post I told you about how my phone just suddenly stopped working and induced a mini-crisis!   Well, I have a new phone now and its camera is supposed to be the same as the other one, but it actually takes really grainy and dark photos.  I took blog photos the other day and none of them were usable!  All of the colours looked faded and dull.   My last phone didn't exactly take high resolution professional pics, but for a hobby blogger it did the trick.  Being unable to take blog pics this week has actually been quite hard!  I really enjoy the creative process and connecting with other bloggers.  So I have put my old phone in to be repaired so that hopefully once again I can blog using that camera and be able to retrieve all of my lost files and downloads.  Fingers crossed! In the meantim...

I had planned to publish this post yesterday, but unfortunately due to a mini-crisis, I was unable to.  The mini-crisis was that when I tried to turn my mobile phone on yesterday, it wouldn't turn on.  I tried everything and it just wouldn't turn on!  I was in such a panic and worried I had lost all of my contacts, photos and downloads.  I ended up having to buy a new phone.  I was lucky enough to be able to restore my contacts and photos, but haven't yet been able to restore my previous texts, downloads and some other things.   It's amazing how these unexpected technology mini-crises can throw you for a loop!  I guess my first concern was not being contactable via phone by my husband and son's school.  Then my second concern was the loss of my photos. Plus, I do all of my blogging on my phone!  I take my blog photos on my phone and write these posts on my phone!  That's why replacing my phone was such a priority, because bl...

In this post I thought I would show you three of the outfits I wore in the past week.  The weather has been quite unpredictable with everything from cool to hot temps and a massive thunderstorm!  In spite of the erratic weather, I do love this time of year.  The flowers are in full bloom and the humidity is bearable, unlike in summer!   Outfit 1: Top: Rockmans Cardi: Millers Skirt: Crossroads Shoes: Instep Necklace: bought at Edinburgh Fringe Festival Markets 2001 I hadn't worn this necklace for ages!  I bought it all the way back in 2001.  It was so fun to wear this necklace again and it brought back a lot of happy memories from my past adventures! Ring: Lovisa Bag: GUESS Outfit 2: Top: Sussan Cardi: Millers Pants: Millers Shoes: Hot Chocolate Design Ring: Diva Bracelet: present from Mum Bag: Lily Bloom Necklace: Katies Outfit 3: Top: Sussan Skirt: Millers Shoes: Hot Ch...

It's amazing how just the addition of a new accessory can inspire new ideas for putting an outfit together, isn't it?  Earlier this week I bought this hot pink beaded necklace.  It's vibrancy and chunky style instantly appealed to me and I noticed it amongst a sea of necklaces, immediately!   My first thought was that it would look great against a sky blue background, so choosing the top was easy.  I then remembered my fun tie dye shoes and new they would complement the colours perfectly.  I was going to pair the top with jeans, but then I remembered these floral print pants.  I've worn them a lot lately, as I love the colours and print and they are so comfortable and durable to wear.  Then the final touches were made: a few more hot pink accessories and my (almost) vintage tie dye bag!   I've already thought of a few more outfits I can put together with this new necklace! Who knew $10 hot pink beads could inspire me to make ...

I seem to be gravitating towards autumnal colours recently, even though it is spring here in Australia!  Red, yellow, purple, orange and now brown!  I haven't worn this skirt in ages, but I do really like its quirky print.  The umber/sienna colour acts as like a cave wall background, with the white drawings and shapes looking like ancient paintings.  I never used to wear orange or brown or any variations of either colour and now I really like both!  I like the brightness of orange and the earthiness of brown.  In fact, these days there really isn't a colour I wouldn't wear! Since I started blogging last year and following other blogs, I have developed an appreciation of wearing different colours, styles and prints.  It really is so inspiring seeing how other non-famous, non-celebrity people dress!  I am much more inspired by women of all different ages, sizes and shapes showing off their personal style, than any celebrity!  Thanks f...
