Hey hey folks! 

Finally getting into the routine of uni and readings. Oh yes. The wonderful readings. Sigh. 

Scored these amazing Vero Moda pants from ASOS! (still on sale by the way) and omg they fit amazingly and so comfy too.  Granted they're about a foot too long for me, but we're working on that one. I think I'm going to get a similar pair in tan I have my eyes on, and then somehow convince my dear father I've had them for years. Genius. 

I have to say it would definitely be my mother who inspired me to pair it with a black shirt. Our entire house is black and red, from the couch to the carpet to the jars we store tea and sugar in. The woman is obsessed with those two colours. Though I have to admit, they suit quite well. 

You know, for the longest time I was trying to think what my outfit reminded me of but I just couldn't quite put my finger on it. Until now. 

I look like the flag of Germany ladies and gentleman. 

But let's just call it colour blocking from now on yeah? And hey, the colours look good together so pfftt. 

Discovering the art of effects. Yeah. 

Oh my gosh my dog is doing the cutest thing right now. He's so sleepy but he doesn't want to sleep so he's trying to sit up right, but he can't keep his eyes open. Freaking. Adorable. 

This looks a little more awkward then intended. And I need a haircut. 

Ralph Lauren shirt, Vero Moda pants, random sandals and belt, D&G watch, jewellery : diva, markets, online,
Asos bag,  and Louie!
 

Speaking of sleep, I would really love to right now, but alas I have to try and investigate why Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands couldn't see eye to eye on the North Sea Continental Shelf. I can tell you guys all about if you'd like? No really I can. 
No? Suit yourselves. 

Goodnight!

Market Day.

I have been utterly lazy and there is no excuse. But I will say in my defence the lack of posting was mostly due in part to a lost camera chip (possible hiding somewhere in the depths of my room just waiting to be vacuumed). 

And then it was just a train-wreck from there onwards. Let us never speak of this again and move on. 

Sydney bought an amazing day on Sunday, all sunny blue skies and cool breezes. Perfect for an outing! Started the day with an amazing breakfast at the Four Points Sheraton (the hashbrowns were to die for) and then it was off to the Star to try out luck. 

And lucky we were ;) 

Always quit while you're ahead here kids. 

Then I dragged Mr. K all the way to the Rocks for the markets! They happen every weekend from about 10am to 5pm and I always love going. I totally recommend you check it out and even if you come away with nothing, there's just no fun like the fun of walking through a market as charming as this one, I just wish Sydney had more for those of us who will never tire of acquiring little nick nacks we really dont need... 

Granted though you may have to look out for stalls which sell things you can find at any other market but at double or triple the prices, but it's the unique, handmade, quirky and one of a kind things which make this market famous. You'll find a lot of small local labels and designers with some amazing things, not the mention the chocolate covered strawberries. I'll give you a second to drool. 

I literally squealed when I saw these...

Aren't they freaking adorable???? They are hands down the most cutest ugly little monsters I've ever seen. That little one in the left corner kind of reminds me of me during exam time, sleepless nights, dilated pupils, unkempt hair and high on coffee wearing the most ridiculous ensembles you've ever seen. But I am no where near as cute. 

Get a load of the lips! 

Each one is hand stitched and unique, no two monsters will be the same, which makes it even better!

Meet Louie 

I had to take this little guy home, the polka dots ant button eyes were just too much. He's going to hand very nicely on my handbags. 

Definitely a good day, and I'll be back again for sure!! 

In other news, look what finally came for me. 

Behold. 

Although you can't see in this picture because I am simply not capable of that much flexibility, the have little spikes around the back of the cuff and although I have stabbed my finger on them numerous times already, I love that they are there. 

Right???? Aren't they just out of this world. You have no idea the trials and tribulations I went through to try and find the perfect cap-toe shoe. I wanted them to be flat just so I could wear them comfortably with everything but most of all I wanted the toe to be metal and not just gold material. Finally stumbled upon these on a cute little website and after many second thoughts and lengthy consultations with Mr. K, I made them mine. They were definitely way more expensive than I was planning to spend (international shipping you kill my life) but now that they are in my possession, I have no regrets.  

Way past my bed time now! Night!

Laser Frenzy

What an amazing day! 

Had the best time, felt like a kid all over again (but then again I act like a kid anyway...). What better way to spend your Sunday then a road-trip with your best mates and play mini-golf, bumper cars, laser tag and laser frenzy, complete with a Maccas stop! 

I would just like to say that I own at mini-golf. Seriously. So good I had a golf shot named after me the 'Tut Shot'. 

Okay maybe I lie a little. 

Chillin in the back seat, listening to the best old school music.

So because the plan was to run around like maniacs high on Hershey's and chocolate sundaes,  had to keep things comfortable. This was surprisingly a lot more difficult then I imagined as I had to keep steering myself away from my sequinned harem pants and maxi-dresses. Luckily though it was my khaki  jacket to the rescue! I really think everyone should have one in their closet, they go with almost everything and always look good. 

Yes I just could not resist wearing my body chain again. Fashion horror. 

And now I would like to introduce some of my most favourite people in the world, the girls  I just could not live without! 

Minus one =( 

I know right, they're gorgeous. My life is hard.

Supre tights and jacket, Body top, Lovisa body chain, ASOS bag, Acropolis shoes 

I strongly advise you all to try laser frenzy. I felt like I was in Mission Impossible. 

Good times.

Happy Days

Well no not really. Exams are killing my life , slowly and painfully. 
Went into to uni today to get some study done. I went to bed with the full intention of getting there no later than 10am and getting my nerd on. 


I woke up at 10:30. Oops. 


O well, finally got a chance to dress up (by which I mean not wear trackies and a hoodie. Yes shock horror I do wear  them and no I am not ashamed). Decided to keep it fairly simple though because I wanted to be comfy enough to focus on the principles of Equity. And what better way to do this than a fabulous trench? I am so glad I got this because you can totally wear it in any weather, as is in summer and layered in the colder months. Of course I couldn't be totally plane so I accessorised with a bit of bling bling. 

Please excuse the lack of face close ups. It's for your own good. I was going through a bad cold which is just my luck. My usual instinct with neutral colours like these is to accompany them with a lot of colours but I decided to do things a bit different today and play with textures instead (although much to my dismay you can't see the texture of my tights or dress too well in this light, just take me word for it okay?).  My dress was black velvet and my tights were this amazing metallicy-burgundy colour. 

And don't even get me started on these shoes. Never has it been so easy to look bad ass with comfort. As much as I enjoy wearing chunky statement heels, sometimes you just cannot be bothered. 

Can you get enough of those pointy tips? I think not. 

Well now that I've spent all this time taking photos, I should probably get my head back to them books. Ugh even my grammar is deteriorating.  I have two more exams left, on the same day. Both of which are three hours long. The question begs to be asked .... 


Why? 

Supre velvet bodycon, random rights and booties, Pink Stitch trench, jewellery from Diva
and Lovisa, Typo glasses 

Mr K's new ASOS kicks. Yes I got him onto it too =P

I can't wait till its all over! That means more regular outfit posts for all you lucky people =P 

Au Revoir !

Wish List

Hi all ! 

It's exam time for me at the moment, well stuvac. Sob. The weather has been horrendous lately so I haven't been able to go out much or take photos. So instead I thought I'd do a bit of a wish list of things I am lusting after, a much better pass time than studying no? 

1. Jeffrey Campbell 

I've mentioned them before but who wouldn't want a pair of these in their closet? His proportions are just amazingly insane and apparently very comfortable . I would be very happy with any of these...maybe even all of them LOL. I definitely need a pair and as soon as exams are over, my hunt will begin. Unfortunately I think the floral 4 Evs are pretty much sold out which is such a shame because they take my breath away. I believe the others are part of the 

permanent line. 

2. Charlotte Olympia 

These wedges I believe pretty much disappeared like that and I can see why, they are freaking adorable. She really makes some amazing shoes but these are one of my favourites. There is another black version with a much smaller heel but I prefer these. 

3. Alexander McQueen 

Hands down one of my all time favourite designers. Ever. The creations are more like mind blowing art you can wear and I have fallen in love with every single design. I can't quite explain to you the appeal but its everything from the prints, the colours , the cuts. It's like they read my mind. I saw the ocelot print frock on Salma Hayek and was in love, I am a sucker for this kind of cut, throw in an animal print and you've won me. The tiger print dress is so edgy and sexy and it's on sale. Is there anyway I can justify the $600 price tag??? Because I might just talk myself into it. I looked and looked everywhere for this scarf, I even found it on sale at Nordstrom for really cheap but it sold out. It's the same print as one of the Spring/Summer 2008 gowns. I will love you forever if you know where I can get my hands on it. 

4. The multi-colour statement necklace 

I love statement necklaces, as you've probably gathered.  These two are the ones I'd currently love to have and I can see them going with a lot of things, even a few saaris I have. The Assad Monsour has a really vintage-y kitschy feel to it with the mismatched stones and colours. I think the Tom Binns is more techno-tribal but the colours are just as amazing, I love the gradient thing happening with the yellow. 

5. Black Milk 

  

The girls at black milk are amazing, the idea of all those great prints on leggings and dresses is ingenious. Fun printed leggings are a really good way to add some quirk or colour in your outfit and still be really comfortable.  If I had to choose one it would probably be the galaxy ones, the inner geek in me loves anything space related especially on clothes. Unfortunately the photo doesn't do them justice, the colours are really much more vibrant. Don't know why I haven't caved and gotten them yet. Soon, very soon. 

Well I better get back to study. Yay. What's on your wishlist at the moment?

Getting Traditional

I'm sure most of are familiar with the traditional Indian dress, the sari yes? Well it's one of my most favourite things to wear ! There's just something about which always seems so elegant yet alluring at the same time, not to mention that its flattering no matter what shape you are. And there's so much you can do with it creatively and design wise, the combinations, the patterns , the styles are totally endless (and sometimes a bit overwhelming when you shop LOL) but you're guaranteed to find something that works to your tastes. I recently wore this saari to a friend's reception and thought I'd share it with you guys ! This is definitely one of my most favourite ones. The colour is so unique and the detail on the pattern is beautiful. The material is also really smooth so it falls around your body really well.

Apologies for the toilet photos LOL

Usually in India, you tend to go heavy on the accessories as well but I decided to keep them at a minimum this time because the saari was 'heavy' enough on it's own. I love the detail of it, the specks of bright pink and turquoise. And to think another woman rejected this saari at the shop we bought it at LOL Oh well I'm quite happy that she did =)

A close up of the intricate pattern

They can be a wee bit treacherous to walk in and hold in place sometimes but it's not hard to get the hang of it.
Hope you guys liked this post ! I'll definitely be featuring more saaris and some amazing Indian designers.

Freaky Friday

Hey Hey ! 

It wasn't a freaky Friday, I just couldn't think of a better title LOL. I  had this denim vest sitting my closet for a while but I just never knew how to wear it. It seemed like it was so big and bulky (even though it was a small) but I still really liked it. I made up my mind that I was going to wear it today and I thought it turned out well. Thanks to my mum for taking the photos ! And letting me borrow her silk scarf, which I plan on making mine hehehe. 

I love these bracelets !! I was originally looking for metal cuffs to wear on both hands but then Mr. K got me these ones and I love them even more ! Best of all they actually fit my wrists. 

Suite 12 dress, Muska Ink vest, Target tights, Barkins shoes, scarf borrowed
from mum, Sportsgirl bracelets, Tree of Life/Diva rings, Daniel-Ray bag, baroque sunnies

I got another dress from Muska Ink I can't wait to share, it's very unique. And something I am so excited to share as well, I finally got the Coach bag I ordered !! It's adorable, can't wait to use it. Stay tuned ;)

Be still my beating heart ...

I thought I knew what lust was. I thought I knew what a pair of shoes could mean. I thought I knew what it meant to lust after an amazing pair of shoes. I knew nothing. There's no real introduction I can give here, so I present to you....

All images credit to BlackMilk

It's an actual NASA image superimposed onto Jeffrey Campbell Litas. Seriously what more could you ask for in a shoe ? I am completely smitten, and they're pretty wearable. I can see them working with a lot of styles (then again this is me talking). They are available now at BlackMilk or Solestruck (and there's a couple of other amazing styles too)

Excuse me while I now concoct ways I can make these babies mine. Gah.

#1

#1 means many things here, the first proper post on this blog and of course, the no. 1 Mum in the world =)
As you all know today was mother's day, so mummy and I hit up the city (dad was not allowed LOL) for a
mother-daughter bonding date and this is what we wore!

SES shirt, random belt, Honey skirt, Target tights, Payless wedges, Rivers jacket, Daniel-Ray
bag, necklace from India

Mum wore a Smith & Miles dress, necklace from India, Vintage sunnies, Novo (?) boots

 We had a really good day. As you can see , my mum's pretty stylish and she has definitely been a fashion inspiration. We have a lot of the similar tastes but we also can freak each other out with what we wear. At the end of the day though, she isn't afraid to think outside the box and stand out from the crowd, just one of the many reasons I love her!
We had a mini photo session in Hyde Park, luckily the weather was rather nice with plenty of sunshine.

My mum is such a poser, now I know where I get it from! Thank you to all the random people who took our photos today.  We meandered around Pitt St. Mall for a bit, had a poke into Zara and what not. Seriously, it was all out war in there so we didn't stay for long. Went into Myer and mum almost bought a
black lipstick from Illamasqua (I told you she was different). Eventually she picked up a really nice gold one in the shade 'Trash', good for mixing with other colours.
We stumbled across this amazing artist in the middle of the mall. The guy was a genius, his drawings were beyond amazing, especially considering he only used a black biro.

     Freaking amazing.            

So had a really good day today with mum ! Hope you all enjoyed my first post too. I know I know, my photo quality, posing etc. requires improvement =P but practice makes perfect!
Happy Mothers Day to all you awesome mums out there!!
