White



This is the first Winter where I've experimented going out with bare legs and I have to say that it's not bad at all. Here in Australia our Winters are quite mild compared to other countries, my part never get snow at all! So when it's bright and sunny outside, it's completely bearable , just as long as you stay in the sun, the shade is another chilly matter.

This day I decided to wear this dress I made a few months back. After making this dress I vowed to start making more clothes and have sadly not had any time, or I probably have had the time and have just been extremely lazy, the latter sounds more like it.

I love the boho feel of the dress and sometimes it's fun to play the part with the accessories that you put together with it.

Have a great rest of the week!

White + Red + Stripes



I've mentioned before that I will essentially be living in white for the warmer months. What better way to repel the deathly stinging rays of the Australian summer than white. The past few months now I have been collecting a lot of white tops, looking back at them I notice a theme, they're all soft and billowy and have some sort of crochet or lace on them. I guess I'm going to look a lot like a hippy pharmacist, I'm down with that!

This dress was born from a culmination of frustration and bad luck. I found a similar dress at Zara, after walking away from it and telling myself I didn't need it, I eventually went back to try and get it.  However the material was so thin that there was a hole or a pull on every single one of them and I ain't parting with my hard earned moulah for that, ok maybe not hard earned, just earned!

I searched the interweb and practically every website known to a crazy online shopper and found nothing that I loved in my price range. So I trekked it to my local Korean fabric shop, bought this white material for $4 per metre and sat down and finally used my brain to create a pattern. There was definitely some trial and error as I went. Luckily, I perceive myself to be wider than I am so there was a lot of room to make mistakes and just take them in towards the end. Pretty chuffed about the end result!

Plus how amazingly cute are these Soludos striped espadrilles, I can't get enough of them! I love the whimsy of being able to tie a bow at the back plus they are super comfy!

Hope you all had a great Sunday! xxx
