OOTD | Black, White and Red All Over

 Crop Top Cue (thrifted) / Overalls Dragonberry / Lips Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in 'Hot Pepper' / Shoes Nike Air Propels

Hi lovelies! So it's another black and white outfit today, this time with a touch of denim thrown in. I love these overalls which I bought from the Dragonberry pop up shop here. They're so comfy to just throw on with a crop top, then all you need is a jacket and you're ready to go. 

I am also loving the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets. I picked mine up on my travels in England, but they've just been released in Australian Pricelines. They're such a comfortable texture to wear and the colour range is nice as well. No "dud" colours to be found. 

I just threw on my Nikes for a casual Sunday spent lunching with Erin. We ended up at Scout Cafe in Red Hill and it was absolutely delicious. I had a huge bagel filled with lots of yummy roasted vegetables, all washed down with plenty of tea. Delish!

What did you get up to this weekend?

OOTD | Blue Gold

Denim Dungarees - thrifted / Sheer Magenta Blouse - thrifted / Argo platform sandals - Jeffery Campbell / Amethyst pendant - Corky Saint Clair

Here I go again with my denim obsession. I'm sorry, I can't be helped but I don't know if there are any more pieces out there to purchase. These are another long lusted over and hunted for item. Long denim dungarees have been in stores and 'in style' the last season or so but I couldn't commit to any I had seen. Believing in fate is a huge part of thrifting so waiting for the item to find you gives me a huge sense of accomplishment. These dungarees were literally just placed on the rack by the shop volunteer when I snatched them up; meant to be.

Hi lovelies! Today's photos were my first experiment with my new camera lens. I finally bit the bullet and bought the Canon 50mm 1.4f USM lens ...and it's beautiful. I have only ever used zoom lenses in the past, so I think it will take a bit of getting used to. I shall refrain from getting into the technicalities, but I can't wait to take some beauty photos with this guy. 

Friendly Fashion Features: Quirky Freedom with Ruby

Pineapple Shorts - Revival / Black Turtleneck Top - Paper Scissors 

Ruby, meet blog readers. Blog readers, meet Ruby. Welcome to the fourth and final (for now) instalment of my Friendly Fashion Features series. From the moment I met this cool cat I knew that I wanted to get to know her and her full-of-life personality. When I initially asked her to participate in this shoot she was quite bashful and exclaimed that her style was 'so mainstream'. To me that seems crazy as I don't believe there to be a mainstream style in existence. We all dress ourselves in a way that expresses our feelings for ourselves and attitude towards the value of visual representation; some of us care more than others and that matters none. 

OOTD | Growing Up

Mesh Jumper NastyGal / Necklace Vintage / Dungarees Vintage via Electric Skinny / Backpack Thrifted / Boots eBay

To celebrate my transition from my second decade into my third decade I wore something that I haven't worn since my first decade. Dungarees! 

As a kid I was rather enamoured with a pair with a butterfly on the front, now I am in love with this navy corduroy pair that I picked up on eBay. The store is called Electric Skinny Vintage and I would highly recommend them. Although they aren't particularly cheap, there are some amazing pieces in that store that are worth the extra cash. I can tell you now that this won't be the last dungarees to enter into my wardrobe. They are super comfy and perfect to layer with. 

Desires: Autumn Winter

Down here in the Southern Hemisphere we're headed into our 'cooler' (inverted commas because it's still fairly tropical) months. It's also been a long while since I've craved many items or been in a position to purchase them. Soon enough I shall be looking for extra items to add to my Autumn/Winter wardrobe and I've laid out a few for you here. Like most winter wardrobes there aren't a whole lot of colours to be seen but my staple clothing is normally fairly colourful and will be mixed in throughout the season.
