Florals


I've had this One Teaspoon dress for probably 8-9 years now. It's one of those clothing items that I could never get rid of when I do closet clean outs. There have been some years where I don't remember I have it and don't wear it at all, but when I stumble upon it, I remember why I haven't been able to let it go. 

I've altered the length of the dress by hiking parts of it up in different lengths and sewing large patterned buttons on the part where I want them to sit. It sounds hideous in writing but due to the buttons being patterned, you can hardly tell. I also think floral dresses will never go out of style. They get re-done from season to season and if you have a keeper like this one has turned out be, do not let it go.

I didn't want to look like a walking floral arrangement so I ended up teaming it with a denim jacket and rocker style ankle boots.

Exploring


The one thing The Boy and I love to do is explore, his love for maps fuels these adventures. Don't get me wrong, we're not outdoorsy in a way where we rock climb or scale things, no, not that kind of adventures. First of all I have the upper body strength of a 2 year old and not exactly the fittest person, so "exploring" new areas around the city is what we love to do.

A few weeks ago, we did just that. We'd never been around this area of the city before, but we've always seen it along the way when we're on a Ferry. Ferry rides are one of my favourite things to do. Even though I've been on them a few times, the novelty will never wear away, the views are just amazing!

It's now Spring in Sydney and I think it's going to be a beautiful one! It just goes to show you don't need to get on a plane and go to a different country to discover something new.

Enjoy the weekend and explore a place you've never been to.

Sunsets and Blings


You could say that I develop attachments to materialistic things. My excuse is that I appreciate a lot of things and there are just too many pretty things out there.

One of the things I'm very loyal to is my jewellery. I like them to be simplistic and very wearable/durable with an edge. For example, the Argentium stack rings that I bought from Etsy nearly 2 years ago, I have not left the house without one of them attached to my digits. They were dirt cheap (I'm talking $5 each!), I wash my hands with them and wear them day in day out to work and there is not a scratch or disfigurement in them. But I have been meaning to add to my repertoire of jewels and finally bit the bullet on these Luv Aj items.

I have been wanting a handpiece or slave bracelet for ages but had always been worried about how they would wear or whether they were everyday friendly. Let's just say they haven't left my hand since I got them. I absolutely love them! Don't even get me started on ear cuffs! 

I'm just really crushing on The Luv Aj Shark Tooth Collection at the moment.

Spring Has Sprung!


Just a nod to the first day of Spring and oh boy I think it's going to be an extremely warm Spring and a blistering hot Summer.

I'm already cowering in fear, even though I love the bright sun shiny days, I despise the heat. The heat brings with it uncomfortable sweatiness and frizzy hair and that combo makes a cranky me.

But the trooper that I am, I'm looking on the bright side, literally! I'm imagining all the bright fluoro colours and bold prints for the warmer months to come. Though the cooler months hasn't really stopped me wearing those combos.

Happy first day of Spring and Happy Father's Day to all the dads!
