XXL

The cotton T-shirt dress is undoubtedly this year's dress for me. I accumulated about 7 (and counting) pieces in various shades ranging from green to grey to stripes, and in straight and asymmetrical cuts in identical colours. They suit the scorching Summer heat and can easily be a transitional season piece with the addition of tights or over the knee boots or oxfords and/or an oversized cardi (another love of mine). Not to mention a pair of heels to take you into the evening.. can you see now why I made such a big move to the trusty style?

The Turban

What are your thoughts on this particular piece of headwear?

Ever since I saw Prada's version a couple of years ago on the Olsen twins, I'd been on the look out for one. I've seen it worn a couple of times, but they've all been either on the catwalk or in the evening. Wondering if it could be executed unembarrassingly on a day-to-day basis... Well, I know I'm not the Olsen twins, so that's a deterring factor, but maybe as the weather goes cooler, people can overlook the fact that it's a headpiece from the1920s era and see it for its utility? Ok, now I'm just thinking about it too much, I'll report on how this goes when I muster up the courage to actually wear it.

Favourite Frock

Random Dress, F21 Beanie

Just giving a sneak peek of one of my favourite floral frocks of the moment. I purchased it from a little beachside boutique for a bargain and have been wearing it any moment I can - particularly since Winter's close at hand.

It's interesting how many compliments and comments you get on a piece of clothing which you paid hardly anything for, and yet items you actually splurge on go unnoticed...

LMFF Fashion Workshop

Michael and I (with family) at Jonah's, Palm Beach (one of Sydney's most amazing culinary treasures).

I am absolutely dying to go. I was thinking a weekend away to recoup just in time before the uni workload becomes to intense is ideal. It'll also give me a bit of insight into the fashion world. I know it's only Melbourne, but the city feels like a world away from Sydney.

Fashion's always been my 'what if'. I studied design very briefly after I finished high school, and often feel that I threw away a part of me when I left it. to take on business (sounds depressing now that I think of it).. I tend to always give up or rest on my laurels when I get comfortable with something. I really need to change this, and this stigma against change. I don't think I'm going to succeed or accomplish anything being afraid of it, so here's to one of my lifelong resolutions.

There is a light and it never goes out

"Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
And they're young and alive
Driving in your car
I never never want to go home.."

Back to School.

Sorry for the absence of recent posts. Back to uni today, which meant that I was trying to squeeze the last days of life from my Summer holidays. I'm not too upset about going back to school; after all, it's bringing me closer to finishing my degree, which is a mammoth objective I can't wait to cross off my list, so as I can get on to doing things I really want to do, but can't due to the fact that I don't have I don't have the silly piece of paper.

I've had a blast of a break - minus the working 4 days a week part - more so, spending time with my favourite people and appreciating the feeling of boredom in the evenings and the opportunity to plan out your weekend activities and/or do nothing without the haunting feeling of upcoming uni deadlines. I'm going to miss that the most.

By the way, I've been trying to test out my camera. I have so much to learn about it though - but there's never enough time. Hopefully I can pick it up with a bit more confidence before the uni overload begins; then I can finally post up some decent pictorials. In the meantime, I present to you, my amazing best friend and my view from work :)


Hope you've successfully survived this sauna of a Monday (applicable only to anyone in the country at this moment, of course).
