coral + country.......

Sooooo......here are the pics from my little excursion with my new coral skinnies!!
 

And we may (when I say may I mean definitely) have jumped a fence to get these pics,
personally I think that makes them better!!
 

 

 

I paired them with my all time favourite black blazer, a black top I picked up
at H&M in LA earlier this year
and a cute little studded bag I scored at Kmart for an
unbelievable price a few weeks ago.

 

The weather was just amazing......how incredible is that blue sky?!?

Those of you with a keen eye will have also spotted my
divine turquoise feather earrings,
I mentioned them in this post,
they were a fabulous score from a trip earlier this year!!

 

 

 I know what you're wondering, did she or didn't she!!!

 Of course I climbed the fence!!!

These coral skinnies have totally sealed the deal on coloured denim for me!!

Hope you're having a wonderful week!!

DIY inspirations - sequined collars.......

I've always been a fan of the sequin, 

and I completely agree with Gaga that the world needs more sequins!!

And in the form of collars no less!!

jersey stripes + denim........

It took me a little while to get on board the maxi dress bandwagon,

but now I'm there, there is a very good chance I may NEVER leave.

Great fabric - check

Great cut - check

Great colours - check

Soooooo easy to wear - check!!

 

 

 

See those shoes in the pic above, probably my favourite pair of shoes to date. 

Black leather flats with star shaped cut outs along the sides and SKULLS!!

Yes, I said SKULLS on the toes!!!!

So very McQueen!!

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again......

I heart you Tony Bianco!!!

The hat was a spur of the moment purchase in Thailand in last year, 

and I think it really kick started my love affair with hats.

Hope you're having a great week!!

colour, colour everywhere..........

I'm very into denim, I have more pairs of jeans than any one person really needs. 

Up until recently that only included blue, black, grey 

and one crazy metallic pair I snapped up while I was in LA earlier this year.

Not any more!!!

I'm officially in the coloured denim club, 

having recently scored myself a pair of coral skinnies.....

and a pair of neon yellow skinnies!!!

Luckily, despite the fact it's taken me so long to get on board 

I have collected a few inspiration images!!

just a little light reading.......

And some yummy chocolate bunnies!! Easter is still going strong at my place!!

Guess that's my weekend sorted. I'm clearly a lover of the fashion magazine, 

so much so that I'm guilty of buying French Vogue,

 despite not being able to read a word of French!!

The weather is supposed to warm up this weekend, 

so I'm planning a little excursion on Sunday, 

I'll be sure to take some pics to share with you!! 

Oh and I finally caved this week, and jumped on the coloured denim bandwagon. 

Two pairs bought, now it's time to experiment, stay tuned!!

feathered friend diy...........

I know, I know.......FINALLY right!!

Well here it is!!


You'll need:

Length of feather fringe
Press Stud
Thread and Needle

Measure and cut the fringe so it fits comfortably around your wrist,
with enough overlapping equal to the width of your press stud.

Sew the the press studs onto the ends of the fringe.

 And.......abracadabra!!

Told you it was easy!!

I got my piece of feathered fringe from ebay,
but you could get something from your local craft or fabric store.

Send me pics of your finished diy's, love to see them!!

shredded and lace......

When I first bought these jeans they were shredded just so and I fell in love. 

They fit wonderfully and looked even better!

Then OMG the shredding starting to become gaping holes and then one fateful festival later (yeah yeah I know they probably aren’t typical festival garb but you know I like to do things differently), my beautiful jeans had just about become more exposed skin then denim. 

Sure I shed a few tears, but then I slapped myself in the forehead and said 

“Hello, DIY those babies”
So I did!

 

 Got myself some black lace and hand stitched it in, 

filling in the gaping holes 

and abracadabra AMAZING new jeans!!

  

So I fell in love all over again, this time with lace!

p.s.  So sorry I've been so slack about posting this past week and a half. 

It's been a really crazy time for me, starting a new (second) job, 

so my time has been pretty much spent either working, sleeping or eating! 

Hopefully things will start to calm down a little, 

or maybe to compensate I'll go a lil crazy! 

Either way, it's sunshine and lollipops ahead!!

p.p.s. I haven't forgot the DIY post, it'll be up this week, I promise!!
