gee, these pants have been so controversial in my life! ahaha. you either love them or hate them. seems that most people hate them ["morning zebra!" said the random man this afternoon], but i don’t care, they’re awesome! super comfortable zebra pants! i wore this outfit to the hairdresser today, i love getting my hair done!

outfit: cue blazer, acne tshirt, cue necklace, sportsgirl pants, wittner wedges.

ps – how overgrown is my backyard?!

…also known as the reason why i missed my flight home from sydney.

i’ve just returned from sydney, where i was attending ‘a higher learning‘ for a couple of days [it was great and more to come on that later]. knowledge overload, so once it was all over, i caught up with my bestie Sarina and we fit in some lunch and shopping at Bondi. i couldn’t leave sydney without checking out the dion lee pop-up shop which has just opened, and consequently couldn’t leave sydney because i missed my flight home! ahaha. luckily i could be put on the next one, and luckily i did make it to the shop and went away with a couple of purchases. i had no time to try on anything!  sooooo many beautiful clothes. i wanted them all. do go down if you’re in sydney! it’s located on glenmore rd, paddington.

i never thought i’d get a jacket this colour, but i totally love it. the colour is just so different from what i’d normally wear. i require long black leather gloves though. stat.

i also just made a vow to wear more clothes that i’ve made. i don’t know why i don’t. a mad woman i am. anyways, i didn’t make this tshirt [bonds did] but i did embellish it by sewing hand printed on silk pictures of my mum when she was young. i like it. what do you think?

outfit: editor in chic coat from modcloth, sportsgirl cardigan, purple gloves from ebay, dear mary tshirt by me.

newbies from topshop. eep. they’re comfy but SO high. it’s the curved bit under the toes that kills me.

worn with glamourwrap and vintage necklace from the glamourai, sportsgirl cardigan, zara shorts, valley girl tights and scarf.

happy saturday everyone!

look at this amazing new ridiculous jacket i just bought from ebay. it’s one of the new pieces from h&m’s new garden party collection. look at it. it’s ridiculous! huge shoulders, covered in roses, it’s pretty kick-arse. and impressive from h&m too! i have no idea what to wear it with though. it matches nothing and everything.

worn with new witchery lace tshirt [$32.95 bargain thanks very much], singapore necklace and those wang glasses.

if you like the looks of this jacket, i actually have another [ebay stuff up so two are in my possession] which i’d love to sell [because who needs two!]. hit me up if you’re interested.

ps – so the other little project i’ve been spending majority of my spare time on is the Adelaide Fashion Collective. all about igniting fashion in Adelaide. the idea was born in a pub many months ago, where we said “hey there’s some cool shit that happens in Adelaide, cool FASHION shit*. let’s do something about it”. and now we have the Collective, and it’s wicked. check it out.

*see, i wanted to swear on my contributor bio on the site, but i wasn’t allowed to! but the boys can’t stop me off for swearing on my site!

so this is how i use the internet. here is the process.

oh, look at this wonderful blog, love love love. let’s follow it. oh look at their wonderful outfit posts. love love. let’s keep following it. omg. the jewllery! she makes them? all by herself? and it’s using vintage pieces? and now she makes reworked vintage kimonos? for real? amazing.

and this is how i came to buy this pomegranate glamourwrap dress by the glamourai from shrimpton couture. make sure you check out both sites though, they’re so wonderful! even as soon as i received my dress from shrimpton couture, i have bought a gorgeous vintage sequin top. [i'm stocking up on goodies for RAFW!]

gosh it’s beautiful. so so beautiful. and you can wear it multiple ways which i LOVE.

here i’ve worn it with this amazing anne valerie hash black vest underneath [bought this from Marais during LMFF], alexander wang glasses, new tights and jeffery campbell heeled creepers.

oh, and look how short my hair is! so crazy. can’t get over it.

am i that stuck for blog post title ideas that i’m stealing every one from yeah yeah yeahs songs?

yes.

anyhoo, it is kinda relevant. here’s my new ann-sofie back dress from topshop. it’s pretty cool. slashed layers and beading. quite different for me. but i can’t wait to layer it with various cardis and jackets in the cooler months. worn with 120 denier tights from sportsgirl. oh i do love a good opaque tight.
