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 =)

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....

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!!

Hiya!

Well I guess this is my first post ! I figure because it is 11:30pm and I cannot be bothered getting out of my pj's the first post, I should tell everyone a bit more about myself, no?  Well I am a 4th year law student who loves all things fashion. To me, fashion doesn't mean wearing the latest trendy runway looks, but more about expressing your own personal style (or in some cases freaking out my parents). I suppose that's why I started this blog, and also because I have been following other bloggers for yonks now and thought it was high time I gave it a shot myself. I'd like to think I'm pretty open minded, maybe a little too much according to my friends. I've also been told I'm pretty weird and dorky but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'll stop my ranting for now, feel free to ask me questions I shall try my best to answer!  

Promise to start posting asap !
