Stay Colourful

 

Wearing: Vintage lace top, Mink Pink pants, Vintage booties, Gifted cardigan, Gloss Bag 

 A recent wardrobe addition from the Mink Pink sale, I am loving these pants! Always a fan of funky pants, the print is so bright and tropical, there's something to be said about brightening up your day wearing island flora on your legs. So with the slightest bit of sun outside, I headed out, dodging the usual dark winter attires that passed me, chilled back at Marrickville cafe Double Roasters, with the biggest masala chai tea set up (like. ever.) and pranced around the alleyways nearby. 
So if you're bracing the winter months at the moment, splash some colour in that wardrobe! Literally if you must.

Peace out and stay colourful

Reflections








The other day I had to drop my brother off for his soccer game the other day, and with an hour or two to kill I went for a walk. And what a walk!
This is the Cooks River, a river that runs throughout Sydney, notorious throughout my childhood environmental studies as a breeding ground of pollution and dumping. Basically it was disgusting. As much as a love waterways, rivers and beach fronts, I'd learnt to avoid the parks and reserves that fronted the river but for the first time in so long, the river was beautiful.
The water was still, allowing for reflections of all sorts to show upon the river. Massively trippy.

So get out there and discover whats around you! Maybe even rediscover something you once overlooked and try to see the beauty in it all.
Easy as a walk in the park. Literally.

Beach Bum

Before Sydney's weather went cray, the Aussie weather gods gave way to a lil bit of sunshine, with thermometers actually rising above 20 degrees. If only for a day. So a friend and I thought what better way to spend the last moderately temperate day than at the beach. We took a ferry across Sydney's harbour up to the north shore to Manly Beach, cruised the shops, ate a delish brekkie and sat on the beach for hours just enjoying the day.

Patchy

Earlier this month I headed down to Sydney's annual craft and quilt fair, mostly to see my HSC major work on display but also to wander the aisles of stalls selling thousands of fat quarters, foam scrap booking stickers, glass beads and tid-bits of lace. Here's my outfit from the day:
