Top & Bottom Set: Runaway Bandits | Shoes: Overseas (Korea) | Bag: SPIRALGIRL | Sunglasses: Gentle Monster

I have come to realise that I am no good with summer fashion. More than a normal person I have a serious lack of summer clothes with me to cycle through, unfortunately, but come autumn and I’ll be more imaginative with my style choices for sure.

Falling into old habits, I love this two-piece matchy-matchy style outfit from runaway bandits. It reminds me of the Marc Jacobs Daisy Dream perfume bottle which is my all time favourite scent. It’s super breezy as well which is really good in this hot Japan summer heat. No joke, I’m sweating buckets here in just a tee!

On a side note, I’m totally re-loving this Japanese magazine called “&Premium 11.” This one is an old edition but it’s called “Standard” and the theme is around the philosophy of slow-fashion and building a wardrobe that reflects your “standard” ideals of style choices based on quality, not quantity.

Though their displayed price tags are a bit too high for an average person to invest in one piece let alone a combined outfit in one coordination (unless you be ballin’). It’s a philosophical movement of sorts to show how you can develop a personal style. It’s something I’m really interested in for a future wardrobe overhaul but that’s another post for another day.

Until next time!

I love how magical this shoot turned out!  I got this maxi dress from a cute little pop up store in Bondi called The Cherry Shop.  I absolutely love the details on this dress especially the little shell-like buttons that line down the center and diverge into the split.

The shoes perfectly match this dress and I love how much detail has gone into these sandals.  There are so many different textures and materials used, yet the shoes still remain relatively simple looking.  If you’re interested, these little numbers were from Aldo.

See below for detail shots!

Missing you like Candy…

Yes!  That is a lyric from Mandy Moore’s debut song back in the day.

Please be introduced to my favourite playsuit and a look that’s full of colour!  Every time I wear this playsuit I get complimented, which really is a tribute to the clothing item itself.  Not only is the print gorgeous and vibrant, there are so many unique elements to this playsuit from it’s cut out detailing, to the double straps to the cute tie up bow on the back.  Rather than trends I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now that my weakness in clothing choice stems from the uniqueness and detail in an item of clothing, rather than what the latest trend is.

Great for the beach, I paired this outfit with simple black clogs, baby pink nail polish with black speckles and simple white sunnies. Enjoy!

Autumn Sunshine

With Siree in Japan it’s been so hard to do shoots because we’d usually shoot each other’s FMLs.   However I’m proud to say now that I’ve found myself a photographer of sorts to help me out!  This is great news for you guys because now I’m hoping that my fashion posts will be a bit more frequent like they use to be.

Isn’t this white dress just gorgeous?  I’ve been meaning to shoot it for ages and finally I did.  It’s classic and simple and can easily be dressed up or down depending on your shoes and accessories.  To make it even more casual I sometimes pair it with a denim jacket.

I was super lucky to stumble across this gorgeous setting – perfect for my shoot and exactly what I was envisioning during the planning stages.  When I do a shoot, the setting is really important to me. Maybe you guys don’t realise it, but I always like my settings to match or even extend from the outfit I’m shooting.  I want each look to look somewhat magical and tell a story.  I want each look to have its own vibe and create an atmosphere.  I don’t just want to be another blogger that takes a street setting shoot for every outfit (although those are perfectly fine too – I’ve done some myself)!

I’ve also recently discovered Lightroom and I can’t even begin to imagine how I survived without it before. If you enjoy editing your photographs (as I very much do) I recommend you get it.

Ah, spring time how I love ya!

I can’t help but feel completely sakura fan-crazed and constantly oohing and ahhing at all the confetti buds on either the trees or carpet on the ground.

Inspired by all the flowers blooming right now, I love the botanical print on this skirt as it hints to something organic found in a bygone biology book rather than the symmetrical patterns you often see in stores. I also love this whole half bun undo trend ever since my favourite style muse Rita Ora featured it in her music clip “Body on Me.”

The mark of Spring is also a very busy and significant time on the calendar with many graduating or entering college freshman year for the first time, to the many young graduates dressed in business suits in hopes to win a spot at their desired career jobs. The positive new beginning is mixed with the melancholy of looking at the cherry blossoms as you leave the school gates for the last time.

For me, my final university semester brings a bit of sadness for its impending end but with Spring and Summer being an exciting time with festivals and many local attractions opening for the warmer season, I’m gonna make sure every moment counts until the end!

Until Next Time!

Gypsy Magic

I’ve always been a boho fan, but gypsy vibes are a new thing I’m loving.  I can’t help but want to be a magical, luna, gypsy, beach goddess alright!

I don’t know if you have noticed,  but lately we’ve been kinda obsessed with Instagram. And thankfully so, because I happened to stumble across Lady Luna, an online fashion store based in Sydney with some serious boho and gypsy vibes.

One thing that always crosses my mind when I stumble across a store on social media is one question; “if I buy from this store, what kind of quality clothing am I going to receive?”  I’ve bought from a few online stores widely advertised on social media and have been somewhat disappointed with my purchase.  All too often the pieces are made from cheap materials, messy sewing and/or an awkward fit – you know the drill.

You can rest assured with Lady Luna.  The material for this dress in particular is delicate, non-itchy – in fact it feels really luxurious and soft, of a high quality and well sewn.  On top of that, the dress is well lined over the important areas (bust and skirt), which is especially great because there’s nothing worse than buying a see-through dress and having to find the perfect bra and slip to wear underneath it.  Being able to throw this on with no worries is definitely a big bonus!

The only negative with me was with the make of this dress. I found I couldn’t lift my arms up too high past my shoulders without threatening to tear the dress. Not too sure if this was an error on my behalf and reading sizing guides wrong.  Regardless I love this dress to bits, so this small negative really doesn’t stop be from wearing it.

A shout out to Wanderlust  + Co, my new obsession for magical gypsy jewellery.  Can’t wait to add more rings to my collection.  Oh, and if you’re always worried about rings never fitting your finger (like me) , Wanderlust’s rings come in different sizes.  Sizes are super accurate as well, so you’re always  bound to find a ring that fits!
