Turquoise & Tangerine


(Pants by Finders Keepers, Top by Sheinside, Jacket by Random Asian Store (hehe), Heels & Ring by Dotti, Necklace by Colette by Colette Hayman, Watch by Michael Kors & Clutch by ASOS).

Just a dash of Turquoise & Tangerine, please?

-----------------------------
Finally! a convenient day to take photos. The weather is a cool 20 degrees, the sun is shining and Matt & I are not working opposite shifts. I really have to thank Matt/boyfriend/'artistic director'/amateur photographer/amazing person in general for putting up with this new hobby of mine. 

I planned this outfit around these pants by 'Finders Keepers' from The Iconic. In the week I have owned them, I've worn them 3 times! They are similar to the palazzo pant that I'm seeing a lot this season, but with a bit of cheeky leg giving them that extra edge. Also, I like them because they remind me of a sort-of-reverse "Ao dai" (vietnamese traditional dress), which is basically a floor length dress with two slits up the sides and pants underneath. Just a little nod to my Vietnamese heritage. 

This outfit also incorporates two things that I am completely obsessed with at the moment: anything and everything orange and my new Michael Kors watch! In the past few weeks I have obtained a pretty impressive orange collection consisting of belts, jewellery, shoes, skirts and lipstick.  I just can't get enough! the perfect bright in this season of rainbow colours. Also, I love, love, LOVE my Michael Kors watch! I wear it with absolutely everything and it only leaves my wrist during showers and sleep. The oversized gold watch is essential!!

Floral Fetish


(1 & 20 Blackbirds Top, Ally leather skirt, Marc by Marc Jacobs Bag, Micheal Kors Watch, Tony Bianco heels, Sheike Belt & Bardot Ring)
Exploring the backstreets of Newtown

----------------------------------
I confess... Im falling in love with florals! Maybe its the unseasonably warm weather thats making me feel the need to pay homage to Spring.  I am also loving the colours of this 1 & 20 Blackbirds Top! Prints incorporating a multitude of colours are always great because it means you can wear it in so many different ways, whether it be with a neutral or using one of the colours as a base. Today I decided on this faux-leather skirt to contrast with prettiness of the top. 
Just on a side note I ordered this top along with a few accessories from www.theiconic.com.au on Monday, and for only $5 it arrived from Surry Hills to Menai in less than 3 hours! AH-MAH-ZING! Needless to say I was throughly impressed. No more waiting 7 days, 3 days or even 24 hours for my delivered goodies!

Cool & Collect

(ASOS leotard, Micheal Kors Watch, Forcast Harem Pants & Mimco heels)
Welcome to Sydney winter!
————————————–
A rare beautiful winter’s day today – I couldn’t not take advantage of it!
I am loving these harem pants from forcast! The colours are amazing!
Actually a lot of the clothing at Forcast has gotten more fashion forward over the last 6 months. It’s no longer just the place to get an affordable suit for that job interview you have next week. They’re definately incorportating a lot of bold and vibrant colours and prints these days. Definitely check it out for yourself!
