2WW: White Shirt Day

In honour of White Shirt Day, today's 2 Way Wednesday features, well, white shirts.

I'd love to write a long adjective-ful paragraph about how we look quite fabuloso in these outfits without overtly saying we look fabuloso, but tiredness has zapped all creativity from my brain, so just scroll below & judge for yourself.  We may not even look fabuloso at all.

Please note we got a little carried away in the flowers, hence the crazy flowery portraits.

Attacked by flowers!  Arghhhh!

Freckle & Co.

Happy Monday!  
Think happy thoughts or drink lots of tea & the-day-starting-with-F won't seem so far away :)

Or alternatively, browse Etsy for cute handmade delights to lift your spirits.
Freckle & Co. is a local Etsy store full of the most gorgeous little handmade tassels to treat yourself or a friend (or one for each?)
There's even a selection from which 100% of the profits go to charity... now that's what I call a win-win situation.

I found Freckle & Co through S of The Silver Lining & was waiting for the perfect recipient's birthday to finally come around so I could buy one.  It finally did this weekend - happy birthday Sinéad!


Take a peep at Freckle & Co if you're stuck for a gift.

DIY: Current Elliot Star Jeans

Am I reposting one of our old projects?  Yes.
Is that sad? Are we running out of things to post about?  No and no. (Don't be silly, that'll never happen)

These super cool star-print Current Elliot jeans have been rehashed for a new season in a slouchy boyfriend style, so we just want to remind you how you can save yourself the $283 price tag by putting in a little elbow grease.

Jeans from Zara Bryson (arguably the best fashion store in Perth)

How to?

Use metallic fabric paint & a star stencil to stencil the shape all over the jeans.

Leave to dry.

Violà.

Happy crafting!  Perhaps you could try a polka dot variation.

xx S

PS:  Oh, and don't worry if they get messy and start rubbing off  (mine didn't, because I was being quite slow & meticulous, but it is fiddly)  because the Current/Elliot stars are very patchy-looking.

P.P.S: have you liked our new Facebook page yet?

2WW: A Wow Skirt

So...

Excuse our sorry lack of actual outfits for this 2WW, but we only just returned from the country last week to be chucked straight into emergency medicine!  So hopefully we will be able to find some time next week to continue photographing our outfit interpretations...
But for now, here's what we came up with when we challenged each other to style:

Michael Lo Sordo's mini ink print pencil skirt.

We promise we didn't peek at each other's collages!

But hilariously enough, we both seem to harbour a not-so-secret lust for that blooming Nars Schiap colour.  The truth comes out.

T's outfit

Blogger-outing appropriate, and relishing all that pink!

Witchery leather sleeve tee, Brian Atwood sandals (seriously wanting to add these to my non-existent nude-shoe collection), Molten Store rings (DIY inspiration!), Valentino Rockstud clutch, Nars lip pencil in Biscayne Park, Nars nail colour in Schiap

S' outfit

Winter-weather appropriate, but still mega-luxe at the same time!

Rag & Bone jumper, Saint Lauren scarf, Wang Marion, Burberry trench (my dream coat!), Nars Schiap (have been meaning to buy this for a while, but am waiting for an excuse), Valentino Rockstud flats


Both outfits very representative of each of our styles!  Would you wear either of them?

Les Fiançailles

After a lot of preparation and clever handiwork...

Oh Happy Day

There's a strange exhaustion that comes from finishing a term of uni, or a certain assessment you've got due.  Instead of the wild celebrations some might get up to (rather, that university students are supposed to get up to), T & I usually feel drained and ready to just plonk ourselves down on the couch and eat potatoes/become a potato.  It takes a few little pick-me-ups to return ourselves to our normal spirits & these are some I've tried of late.

Mario Badescu Enzyme Revitalising mask & cleansing gel, Subtitled cable knit, Nike running outfit, Ellie Goulding album.

Not pictured: time with family, sleep, kisses (ooo!), food(even more ooo!!)

What kinds of things do you do to lift your spirits and get yourself out of a "stink"?


Happy Sunday :)

New Facebook page here.
Make following easier here.

Like It or Not.

After a long time of umm-ing and ahh-ing, we finally pulled our socks up and got ourselves a facebook page.  It's missing the "le" bit in the URL, because someone already stole lefanciulle/le.fanciulle, much to our annoyance.  But there it is, in all its fledgeling glory - a reward to ourselves for finishing our GP rotation!

PS: For any Perthies, tomorrow is Northbridge O Day.  Get your butts down there!

Sunday Best

Marni | Charlotte Olympia | Miu Miu | Malene Birger | Tom Ford

Simon & I are celebrating our engagement party on Sunday, and if the interwebz were my wardrobe this is what I'd wear.  

Unfortunately, it is not.  

So I'll have to make do with whatever I can find at home.

  This is also a sneaky hint to the ladies in attendance that this is the expected garb (don't get too fancy - it is a picnic after all).  

And this is the colour scheme if you want to dress to theme.

Incentivising

With seemingly endless case reports to write, it's timers, stop watches & rewards that get us through.  Sometimes it's silly little incentives like finish this stupid case reflection & you can browse Country Road for 10 minutes guilt free, but they're not that silly if you get your assignment in on time! Or pass your exam!  Below are some goodies I have found that wouldn't feel at all out of place in my wardrobe.

Intarsia knit, Metallic knit, grey roll neck knit, white roll neck knit, silk shirt - all Country Road.


After... let me count... nearly 18 years of education & counting (oh my goodness, that's nearly our whole lives), T&I have discovered that timers are the answer to the study dilemma.  Motivation doesn't always come at the right time (ie before a due date!) and there's nothing like a ticking clock to get your stress levels up just enough so you bother to work.  Timers are also the best way to ensure you work healthily & get proper breaks.  Breaks filled with tea, of course.

Speaking of study... back to it!

PS: Recognise any familiar faces on the Betts Blog?  Nope, neither do we ;)

2WW: Fancy Pants Edition

Funnily enough, all of our 2 Way Wednesday posts so far have been about pants & today is no exception.  We clearly live up to our LeFancyPants name!  Channelling a little bit of MBFWA street style, today's outfits are quite monochromatic.  Let's get the party started with some butt shots, hey?

T wears
Cue shirt
General Pants skinny jeans
Witchery ballet flats

S wears
Hobbs pants
Dotti tshirt
Novo wedges
Bag from Salamanca markets

In retrospect, T looks like a chef and therefore would not repeat this outfit again.  Accidental chef chic?  Just one of the consequences of not owning a full-length mirror.

And now to journey the long 7+ hours back to Perth... hopefully this time we'll be staying there for a good while.  (Hear that uni?  No more sending us away!)
