happy weekend

via style essentials

Yay looks like the Melbourne sunshine has come out to play.

Off to lunch by the river with the girls today.

I'd sport a look like this if I wasn't such a shorty.

Have a good weekend!

Some wardrobe inspiration for Autumn (and much needed inspiration at that). Enjoy the weekend.

scout + catalogue

Ha, I know I wasn't gone for too long. But my posts have always been sporadic. Some days, donuts, zilch, nothing. other days some nice findings.

Like these beautiful accessories by Scout & Catalogue on etsy. I have yet to plunge into the online shopping world of etsy. Certainly browsed but not as yet purchased. I fear it open up a massive gateway, which could get me into all sorts of trouble.

liebemalene vintage

I'm sure you're all familiar with amazing blog and lookbook of Liebemarlene Vintage store. The photos are styled and captured are too beautiful for words.

I wish I was graceful enough to wear heals but most attempts I always resort back to flats. Oh I'm definitely bookmarking some of these looks for the Autumn months.

More loveliness here!

so much to love about made well

playsuits

Not the super short and not the maxi length... This one is just right.

How lovely is this one piece? The back design is devine - looky here!

With summer beckoning, so does my overdue fitness regime. I've struggled to get my lazy self out of bed for a morning swim.. hopeless.

pussy bows

I love pussy bow blouses, but I find they're abit hit or miss on me.

I've got some lovely vintage ones but it really comes down to the perfect fit for me to pull it off. The wrong fabric, shoulder pads, wide billowy fit can make one look a tad frumpy and matronly rather than the desired feminine and dainty look.

I fell in love with the cute details of this one from CR.. Love the loops and the sweet print and fits a treat!

to market

Leather pumps $1.50 : Small leather bag $1- : Scientific German glass beaker $4- : Three potted kitchen herbs $5-

Got up early today and waited 10 minutes in a car park queue to get into the sunday market - that's commitment! The things we do..

I went visited my brothers girlfriend who was having a stall at the Round She Goes Vintage Market, whilst there were some cute things about, nothing really tickled my fancy.

Hope you had a great weekend!

wardrobe wonderland

Whenever there are some new purchases, the crazy virgo in me comes out in full force and I get this urge to 're-merchandise' the wardrobes. Looooser! I know.

• I hang every thing by colour blocking, and then by length.
• I neatly re-fold singlets and knits.
• I relegate boring, now not so exciting t-shirts and singlets to the sleep or dag around the house section.
• I sort out my underwear and sock drawer - throw out broken bras and holey stockings.
• I colour block scarves belts, line up my clutches and hang handbags.
• I line up my shoes, newbies and golden oldies in prime positioning for easier access.

Until the the middle of the week and it all goes out the window. Here's some dreamy images to inspire and keep me 'in line'...

a weekend of excesses

An unexpected big friday night, lead to a very sore head & horrible hang over which lasted all of Saturday. I won't be repeating that again anytime soon. Horrid.

Today, I got up bright and early ran errands and unexpectedly burnt a massive hole in my pocket. 5 pairs of shoes; soft vintage boots (finally!), ballet flats, loafers, and these two...

One pair is going back for a refund. Keeping both is a wee overboard. Which colour, I am yet to decide...

I think they'll look better with opaque tights...

desperately seeking..

new flats! JD will disagree, but I'm seriously in need of some new ones to add to the current rotation. Sadly, not loving any offerings in store at the mo'...

But then there are some cute woven vintage brogues from Sportsgirl - similar to the ones Kate Bosworth is sporting. They come in tan or pink.. Hmmm...

Lovely basics by Rittenhouse.. I'm in love with this girls cute crop.

little buds of spring

The warm sunshine over the weekend has inspired me to get out some of the my frocks out of the wardrobe, sans opaque tights.

Here's one of the dresses I bought in Phillip Island. I think the white flower buds are rather sweet, however, I will need to take the hemline up..
