FML: Woodland Picnic

Escape to the Woods

Take the path untaken, travel an unexpected journey. Feel the wind in your hair, the sun on your face…and have a picnic!

OK. I realise that may have been a somewhat abrupt anticlimax. But I’m running on lack of sleep.  While I am aware the weather is getting colder, an autumn picnic is the perfect date idea. Why? Well it’s still warm enough that you can dress cute, but it’s also just that right amount of chilly that warrants a cosy snuggle under a blanket without it being too cold.

For this look, I matched my gorgeous Railway Girl Top from Miss Patina, with my denim shorts to add an essence of femininity to my casual denim shorts. I paired this with my favourite sandals (don’t you just love the stitching on these shoes!?) and completed the look with an off-white cardigan with elbow patch details.

Anyway, enough about fashion, there’s food to be had! Mmmmmm

Retro Vibes

If there’s one fashion item I always, always get compliments on it’s this one.  No matter if it’s from people at work or randoms at a cafe.  I actually purchased this top quite a while ago, but I still love wearing it – and I still get the compliments.  Why you ask?

I think it has a lot to do with rockin’ your own personal style.  I guess Siree and I have always branded ourselves as “fashion” bloggers, but I believe the correct term is that we’re style bloggers.  We love to share our personal style with you guys, regardless of whether it’s the latest thing in fashion and we hope you guys enjoy it too.

The great thing about having your own style is that it never goes out of fashion. And at the same time we never have to be on top of the latest “fashion” or adopt trends we don’t like just for the sake of staying relevant and timely on our blog.

So yeah, I like the style thang.

Winter Things: Accessories Look Book

1 Comment

Here, I’m focusing on some jewelry pieces I picked up recently and pieces I forgot at home in Sydney that I haven’t worn out and creating some go-to coordinate outfits for each.

Rosy Gold

I’m really enjoying rose gold tones and thought it would be nice to pair it with something casual to make it look sports lux with these cute overalls and fitted cropped top… and this oversized nude toned coat because it is cold AF here.

Boundless

From the mastermind of Vanessa Hong’s blog, The Haute Pursuit, these cuff from THPSHOP are chunky but will never weigh you down. This is my first purchase from a fashion blogger turned fashion entrepreneur venture and I really like the sleek and unique design of their jewelry range.  Though I don’t really have many sharp chic clothes, this all black pairing works well I feel.

Harness Play

Remember how body harnesses were like “a thing” back circa 2013? They made a few cameos last year during the Louis Vuitton Fall runway and have taunted my need to find one which was a fine play of trying to look daringly fashionably interesting and tasteful.

Though I’ve seen some pieces while online hunting, quality, and good design were always key and I found that the ones from designer Elif Domanic were great because they were designed within mind to be wearable for daily situations as well.

Until Next Time!

Top: WEGO | Jacket: Vintage (Korea) | Skirt: Forever21 | Clutch: Korea

Besides my current folk style obsession, I am also enjoying the casual varsity look that seems to be coming back into style again. It’s such a winter friendly style since you can layer different textures and patterns together to pull off something preppy.

I am also loving the whole collar necklace trend and then I saw this shirt while shopping at WEGO with an attached collar faux necklace AND it was on sale for $8! The best of both worlds and such a steal!

On another note, I’m heading back to Sydney next week after my one-year absence for a short visit! So excited to be reunited with my other half Talyssa and everyone, as well as going from cold to hot as I plan to visit the beach as much as possible.

Until next time!

Shorts: ASOS | Belt: DHOLIC | Top: Lily Brown

When Macklemore helped us understand the joys of thrifting from once trash to “another man’s come up,” the dig for second-hand threads on the interweb exploded with possibilities for those many poor youtube/tumblr savvy college life pockets to keep being stylish – even if it may have come from your grandpa or ma’s closet.

Folkstyle may be the best at representing every Millennial’s affectionate overuse of the hashtags #OOTD #Wanderlust since it combines both the free-to-be-me gypsy boho trend mixed with the thirst-for-travel ethnic inspired details.

It reminds me of my Japanese culture teacher while I was still at university who wore a new outfit from the many countries she visited. She’s been to over 48 countries and counting! She is definitely someone who truly breathes and lives to learn and teach other cultures while being a well-traveled lady herself! Imagining all the passport stamps and leftover currency she must have collected over the years…

Side note, I am also completely taken by the brand Lily Brown and this cute-to-handle top from their first Autumn Collection lineup. I love the cute embroidery but I must say, the mesh material itches like hell! Alas, beggars can’t be choosers… even with that price tag hmm ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now to find some big ass coat…that I might need to get from my grandmother…

Until Next Time!

FML: Polkadot Chic

Unlike Siree, I have a serious lack of winter clothes!  I find winter too cold that I often opt for comfort rather than style (I know, the blasphemy!).

It’s still pretty cold in Sydney and during one of my winter hauls, I found these cute polkadot pants from Zara.  Loving the vintage vibes, I bought them! Also on sale (and also from Zara) I found my new favourite blouse.  The photos don’t show it that well, but it’s a really nice, casual-chic looking blouse and I absolutely love the tiny button detailing.

On a side note, this was the last shoot I did in my apartment!  Two weekends ago I moved back home with the ‘rents for a myriad of different reasons – my apartment block was going to be knocked down at some point in the near future, my house mate was moving out and finding a new one is a tedious and terrible process and also, I’m going to France in a month and the prospect of paying rent while being on holiday with the possibility of not having a house mate – or a new one that I would know nothing about – wasn’t a pleasant one.

So here I am, feeling like I’ve taken a step back in life, but marching on full forward regardless.
