A Snippet of Life

Hopefully the last 2 posts caused a few chuckles!!

Here is a little collection of photos that represent the life of S.  Not shown are textbooks, laptop, pens, exercise books, notes... but let's pretend they don't exist.

But don't worry, he's usually not that bad at dressing himself:

Win-spiration.

There are some things you just cannot wear in Summer & these are the sort of things we have to wear all the time in Winter. Especially in Perth, where the Summers are long and the Winters barely cold!

Country Road has some really good basic winter-y items in shop right now...if I were only so lucky :(

Plaid

Cosy Grey

Furry highlights

(faux, bien sur)

(on a random note, how seedy is that guy above left?)

Light layering

Girls' Brunch

We spent the wonderfully sunny ANZAC day/Easter Tuesday holiday with our girly friends for brunch (which turned into afternoon-tea...  therefore becoming br-afternoon tea?).

The essential ingredients for a fun morning/midday/afternoon:

1. Some girlies of the gorgeous & fun variety:

Our lovely hostess, LG

Isn't A's sun-dress super cute?

2. An abundance of food - both healthy & chocolatey. We clearly didn't eat enough at Easter!

We recommend the orange & poppy-seed muffins from Brighton Bakery!

Miss S's scrumptious high-fat chocolate treats!  

3. Some summery necessities: sunnies & comfy clothes!

4. A spa - this one is fondly named Spaticus (har har har).

Spa-legs!

5. Tea!  Although it is important to note that tea bags won't suffice.  If you want a real fun afternoon, you need a teapot and milk-jug just like the olden days ;)

Et voila! A guaranteed beautiful Autumn br-afternoon-tea.

How to be a Trendy Surgeon:

PS: I must say I concur with all your lovely comments- T did look mighty elegant in her post yesterday! (and nope, she did not pay me to say that! hehe)

Rachel Roy - thanks to The OutNet!

A couple of weeks ago, I snagged a ticket to the £2 OutNet Sale and after 20 minutes of excited yelling and frantic clicking, landed myself a Rachel Roy dress.  It arrived sometime early last week, but thanks to the extra-long weekend I got some time to take some shots and show it to you :)

Here you can see the origami-pleats...

And the self-tie sash...

Hope you all had a lovely Easter!

Bright Sunny Day

Happy Easter Monday!! The weather has been so perfect this Easter- mid 20s with a light breeze. All you non-Perthites should be jealous!!

But onto more import matters, T challenged me in this post to replicate the below outfit. According to her it was an easy challenge, but due to having barely any yellow items & minimal blues, I had to run with the silhouette & brightly coloured-ness (ahem, grammar police?) of it instead.

Be kind, I'm camera shy!

The Challenge

The Attempt

Steve Madden shoes, thrifted green blazer & top

Can you see a very messy room in the background? I should have put in a picture of my mother's disapproving face to complete the scene :P

Busting at the Seams

Do you ever find you have HEAPS of clothes (i.e. wardrobe bursting at the seams), but still manage to lack a few key items?  It is the bane of my existence.  I suppose life's good when that's your biggest current problem...

Along the lines of my latest idea called 'targeted shopping' - only buying what you set out to buy - I have decided to make a list of what I am allowed to buy this winter.

S' List

1. Chunky heeled black ankle boots like these (pic from thischicksgotstyle)

2. A dark coloured cape/swing coat that actually holds up against the weather
3. Chunky, baggy & comfortable knit - I have too many fine v necks!

Either of these Zara ones would do me just fiiiine...
4. Some socks to peep out of my burgeoning boot collection
5. Something velvet, like this skirt below - such a cute wintery addition!

6. Some black tights that are BLACK and not NAVY masquerading as black
Grr this is a pet hate of mine. Does anyone know of a reliable tights brand?
If not, I'm going to Asos (solver of all fashion dilemmas)


T's winter wish list is coming very shortly to a laptop near you...
