Mint and red is one of my all time favourite colour combinations.

Today was a work day, so I opted for a classic sort of look. I’m very lucky to work in an environment where I can pretty much wear whatever I want. Even so, I tend to tone things down a bit for work (Somehow I don’t think my boss would appreciate me coming in with cat ears on my head)

These are my dogs.

This tiny creature is noodle.

And this one is bubbles.

Both of my dogs are rescue dogs which we have had for ages. They are legit the cutest little fluffballs I’ve ever seen. I just wish they would enjoy getting their photo’s taken a bit more 😛

Autumn, Beret, Purple, Shorts, Suspenders

Image

Purple is such a fabulous colour, which is precisely why I choose to wear it yesterday.

Beret: Ebay Jacket: Don’t remember D: Shirt: Alley Shorts: Thrifted Tights: Ebay Socks: Ebay

These shorts are legitimately my favourite pair. I bought them about 2 year ago on a trip to Melbourne in a second hand shop somewhere. When I picked them up off the rack, I thought they weren’t going to fit, but they did, and now they live in my wardrobe :3

Image

Again, the temperature ways being a bit weird, so I had my gloves on and off all day, which is sad because they’re super cute.

In Australia, we’re having a bit of a confusing Autumn. Usually by this time it’s getting pretty cold, but it hasn’t been cold in at least a month. This means that my coats aren’t receiving any love yet.

image

One good thing about the strange weather is that I can wear capes. In my opinion they’re the perfect garmet for in between weather. The Cape I have on today is one I made over summer. It’s velvet with a pretty lace trimming around the edge.

I made the skirt quite recently after I impulse bought some music fabric. Like most music fabric, you can’t actually play what’s written as it was not designed by a musician (there are no time signatures, the key signatures are wrong, there are symbols placed over things they’re not ment to be placed over etc) but it’s still fun.

I also wore a new necklace today, which I finished painting last night.

My lovely friend Joseph took these photos of me today, right before we went on a coffee date. Here’s a lovely shot of him attempting to climb a tree.

We had coffee in a cute cafe close to uni called ‘the press’. It doubles as a second hand book shop as well. They always have early jazz playing, which really helps to set the mood.

Autumn, Fashion, Red, Sailor, Shorts

Ah, the first post. What a bitter sweet moment. Sweet because “woo, a place that I can put my fashion adventures” but bitter because “Oh no, it’s awkward first post time.” And what better way to celebrate the awkward first post than with an awkward first post pose.

Image

Cardigan: Hell bunny, Shirt: Home made, Shorts: Home made, Tights: Ebay, Socks: Topshop, Shoes: I ❤ Billy

This is what I wore today. When getting dressed in the morning I tend to choose a colour scheme. As you can see, the colour I choose today was red. I have sort of a love hate relationship with red, as red is to my wardrobe as black is to most people’s wardrobe. This means I tend to get bored of red quite easily, which is never fun. At the moment, I am quite enjoying red, so expect to see it quite often!

Image

The shorts I am wearing are my “strawberry and cream shorts”, named because I’ve used strawberry patterned fabric, and the trim around the legs is a creamy beige colour.  I made these shorts about 4 months ago when I still had free time.

The shirt is just a plain white singlet with lace sewn around the edges. The bow on the shirt is a detachable broach which I attached this morning.  The belt I wore is definitely my favourite belt. I bought it about 6 year ago on a trip to Adelaide, and I wear it pretty much whenever my pants have belt loops.
