Making up for Lost Times

Gentle Storm.

It feel's good to get into the swing of things. I'm back at Uni, out of work... Plenty of assignments which means lack of social interaction which means I have some sort of restraining order until my break.

Last weekend we celebrated beautiful, Mel's birthday. We traveled to a Spanish Cabaret restaurant. It was an exhilarating experience. I absolutely love dancing, its in my blood and the food was drool worthy!

We even had the opportunity to have a salsa lesson. Mel and Brother dearest won 1st place.

I wish I could take better pictures to show you the ethereal layers that made up this dress. I cant believe this dress is so old! Perfect Find


Bloom nailpolish, grape vine ring- Sportsgirl, Assorted heirlooms from family, japanese pins- Borders, Military Jacket- SES; Vintage Cue Dress- Salvos; Wittner boots.

I feel like I am experiencing abrupt and constant change in my life and that has definitely molded my views and beliefs. I am comfortable in my own skin and never have I been this comfortable experimenting. We bloggers should know this. It is like an unspoken , mutual connection. We stand out. We do. People either blatantly gawk their eyes out at you or sheepishly comment your interpretation.

Amongst our community we will always have the haters that love their stereotype. And you will see this. They have their posses and they all look alike even if they are fashion forward. Whatever, I absolutely despise arrogance.

I am done with school for this semester! No more exams, no more books... I can't contain myself.
It gives me time to catch up with sleep and I can reply to all your comments. So sorry!

I'll keep it short and I promise I will look after the blog! Thank you so much for sticking around

Sequined Blazer, thrifted; ring, forever new; cotton on tee

I found this beautiful sequined blazer and I am so glad I bought it. Money well spent me thinks.
Sequins is no longer trashy or to be left for that planned trip to Las Vegas. Wear it well. Wear it with confidence.

Here is a lil dose.

What has been keeping me company



Metric- Fantasies

This song has been on repeat for quite some time now. Great album.

Hello fellow bloggers,

I apologise for my tardiness. My inefficiency should be blamed on my ability to leave things to the last minute. I’m still at University and this semester is almost done with the added grace of 2 excruciating exams first week of June. So again bear with me for a little while longer. According to my family school should and always be my first priority haha! Yes Pa’

Well anyways that being said I won't limit you from what I have been up to lately.

Last night we travelled to 'The Rocks" in Sydney and dined at a popular and appropriately named restaurant called, 'Pancakes at the Rocks'. Foolish of us to order meals... the pancakes in itself could feed a family of four.

here's what they call a Devil's Delight

Now for the outfits we donned, sorry for the blurry images still learning how to use the camera in manual focus!

(right to left)

Ashish: Thrifted beanie and leather jacket- GoodWill, AA acid wash hoodie, tshirt?, lee jeans and Ben Sherman shoes.
Mel: Beret and Ruffled Victorian shirt- salvos , Vintage leather motorcycle jacket and pixie tan boots- Ebay , tights-AA.

(below)Thrifted Blazer- salvos, Crushed silk dress- Alice in the eve, sheer stockings, oxfords- paddy's markets.

I also found an amazing and refreshing designer, Bjorg with a unique promotional campaign. At first I thought if it were me in that ad I would run for my life... but for art's sake lets just live life slow mo'. Check out their website!

Turn my swag on!

KA/POW/WOW inspired by Jacobian ruffs & natural structures such as: fruit & coral KA/POW/WOW neck pieces are exquisitely organic in form and spirit. each piece is meticulously hand crafted with love from reclaimed textiles sourced from charity shops & via the vast London on-line network: freecycle. KA/POW/WOW objects are clever and a bit kooky.

I absolutely love their work! They are not afraid to exercise their creativity and exercise the freedom and benefits of recycling. Together they are an ambitious and adventurous team that will truly deliver eclective, one of a kind pieces that will turn heads. For all the right reasons!

Their work breaks away from all the overpriced bibs and statement jewelery you drool over online. I'd like to one day (soon) try making something similar.

Stay safe everyone!
Have a great weekend

Designer in Focus: Ginger & Smart

'Australian luxury label GINGER & SMART is all about creating a distinct and inspiring product to market to a design-literate customer, both locally and internationally. The label was founded in 2002 by Sydney-based sisters, Genevieve and Alexandra Smart out of the desire to combine family talent to build a strong lifestyle brand. With Alexandra’s creative business background as an Editor and Publisher for luxury lifestyle magazines, books and the internet combined with Genevieve’s years spent at the helm of Lisa Ho as Senior Designer, and her grounding with Australian swimwear and fashion luminaries, Zimmermann, their united industry knowledge covered every possibility, probability and all the potential of a successful and exciting family fashion business.
Specifically, the GINGER & SMART product is always sophisticated and sharply modern. ‘Luxury Escape’ is the strict style mantra for each range. Luxe eclectic materials reflect the opposing forces they seek to work with. Leather, cashmere, silk and fine cotton represent the strength and vulnerability; the hard and soft design elements that are the foundations of this individual and intelligent brand. Dynamic prints and bold, creative colourways are also signature GINGER & SMART design' (RAFW)
