The Button up

Happy Sundays!

These past few weeks I have been particularly inspired by Seed's pieces in store. For those who aren't familiar with the brand, they are renowned for their simple and sophisticated style. I stumbled across their 'Button through tie' top in the city last week and thought OMG! Way too cute. See below!

The Vest

Hello! 

Another week gone. It is crazy how much time flies whether or not your having fun (lol). Report cards, verifications and non-stop assessment is what's been happening in my life. But, it's time to do something I love, and that's sharing my style with you lovely people. This weekend I am inspired by grey long line vests. This particular one I purchased from Ally Fashion but there are plenty of these swimming online. I will admit I have worn this baby way too many times in the past two weeks! I love it's simplicity, and the edge it brings to any ensemble. Ladies, you cannot go wrong with this one. Here are a few of my looks:

Sunday OOTD

Hello! 

Just a quick post to share with you one of my favourite looks during the transition into Spring. The time when I still get a bit chilly, but it ain't cold enough for thick coats.This was a casual outfit I quickly put together a few weeks ago for a family lunch. I finally found the perfect time to wear a light weight trench coat! During winter this trench was way too thin, but, the ease into spring has been a better match. Of course, what a better way to match up shades of grey with white which I think can never go wrong My grey crop was a cheap find from Valleygirl a while ago, but you can find lots and lots of similar ones on line (shop the look down below).

FOOD: Kinn Thai

SO! It's about time I shared a lifestyle post - one about food, because food is life. There are butt loads of Thai restaurants everywhere and it's quite hard to find the really good ones. Kinn Thai though - ugh, on point. There has not been any point where I have said 'its all right...' or forced myself to finish the food because I hate wasting food. Every dish has been sooooo good. And by good, I mean tasty, refreshing, filling and every other good describing word for food.

Greys and Greens

Dear diary...

This post is a bit of a mixed-in outfit details slash 'deary diary' post. This year has been overly eventful - there has been so much going on, so many new experiences and realisations, and I have learnt a whole lot. I'm an Aries, and like other star signs we have our good and bad traits. I'm not a sole believer in all of that mind blowing stuff, but, sometimes I am amazed on how accurate those predictions/descriptions can be. One trait that they've got on point is how much of a worry wart I can be. I stress about everything because I unfortunately care too much. Doesn't help that I am a perfectionist. Although, this year I have trained myself to calm down a tad bit. Anyway, being the 'stresser' I am, I've gone through a whole lot of ups and downs, and a lot of the downs might have been amplified due to the type of person I am. I don't think I am a drama queen (I hope) - but it's safe to say I have considerably high expectations for myself and I guess some people just cannot deal. But I've gone through enough to know what I should settle for. 

The Bronze Snake Shop

My first trip to Melbourne I must say was full of both, fortunate and unfortunate events. Shopping was quite the same to Brissy, but I was definitely attracted to the boutiques. So many 'Melbournistic' styles. I was pretty bummed on the amount I bought, but considering the time I had, and the gender I was with, made it harder to find something...quick lol. Overall I had a great time! I will share my experiences in a lifestyle post soon :) Keeping this one short and sweet.

Black leather

This was a quick put-together outfit. I have found that when I am in a rush, I tend to go for a casual sport luxe kind of style. Not completely sure why, but I think it's because it's the easiest way to feel 'stylish' enough. It's weird, if I'm not content with my outfit, I tend to be quite moody for the day (which isn't ideal). But anyway, in this outfit I wanted to use my bargain Slip on sneakers from Famous Footwear. I have pretty chicken shaped legs (woo) so I chose to wear my favorite midi skirt from Glassons to disguise my awesome legs *coughs*.

Suddenly 30?

Lately I've had quite a few comments saying that I dress 'mature' for my age. Not sure if I take it as a compliment, but I have had a few light thoughts on it. If I dressed 'my age' I wonder how I would dress? I can't imagine dressing any other way. My partner has said it's probably because I am a teacher, so naturally I dress conservatively. I like to think that my style is somewhat sophisticated, but either way, I feel comfortable in how I dress and I that's important to me!

Winter: Side split knits

Hello helloooo! Yes I have been MIA for a long while again... It is such a struggle finding the time to work on anything else but work, hashtag teacher life. But as they say, good things take time, and time is what I'm working on atm. Anyway! Winter has been official for a while and oh damn am I feeling it! I've been attracted to weirdly cut pieces; and jumpers with side splits have definitely caught my eye.

High Necks

I told you I loved palazzo pants! Here's another Sunday outfit I wore the other week. The focus: high neck tops! Like many others, I am part of, the itty-bitty-titty-committee. Nothing wrong with having small ones don't get me wrong, but, it is sometimes embarrassing and disheartening when I'm not able to wear certain styles that require a little more meat up there (lol). SO! This post I share with you one way I aid this dilemma. 

Palazzo Sundays

Anddd finally! I am back. It has been such a roller coaster these past few weeks with my job as an SEP teacher. It's true, if there is no self discipline, there will be no time for anything else! Which is why I have felt so sad that I have been neglecting my blog (all my time for creativity has been taken up by making resources for my students lol). BUT holidays are coming up and oh boy will I be bombing your IG newsfeeds! Anyhow, hope all of you have been well. This post I share with you my Sunday attires lately, which have been - Palazzo galore! Inloveee with the comfortability of these pants, and the laid back yet sassy style it gives.

Summer Top Picks 2015

So it's time for our Top Picks for our summer 2015! Our top picks are all about easy glam. If your like me and you have busy schedule - no time to touch up, no time to even look at a mirror, well these top picks need to be in your collection.

Love for pattern.

So it's been a while... And I do apologise to the many who have waited! I've just started teaching, whilst working at Nine West (cannot let go of the fun side of retail). My weeks are hella' busy, and I cannot seem to find the time for a lot of things! But, I think down the road I will learn how to find the time, like I have now. Any ways, so the past season I've been attracted to pattern blocking. I find it effective when you balance it with a block colour, like what I've done with navy.
