Damn I have forgotten how to ride a bike!
It feels like all these childhood learnings that I’ve spent many a hard long summer in the local park conquering have disappeared from my adult mind like ice skating and roller blading. It was pretty much the only regular sport I did other than finding a shopping center with a temporary ice rink for the summer to cool down and practice Figure 8s on. Skating backwards was pretty much the coolest average thing you could claim as the skater skill to know back in those times.
About this cute white Dutch style bicycle my dad picked up for me in mind, I couldn’t wait to try and ride again on this vintage cruiser when I saw it – or so I thought. Seriously, are the seats supposed to be this high? I know I’m not very tall but I think these standard frames are a bit cumbersome for the shorties who’s average measurement to standard proportions have missed the mark by a few centimeters. Unfortunately, the amount of scratches and knee scrapes did not fruit into a decent growth spurt in my favour. In any case, this Hollander does look great in photos melting the grunge city streets into an enduring portrayal of urban life. It’s very picturesque!
To be honest, I’m not feeling this dress on me. No, no I’m not looking for sympathy on the matter. I think it was one of those designs that was nice in theory but failed in execution. The plunging V line with lace would be nice if you had a ‘flatter’ and slender frame and the proportion breakout from torso, sleeves to skirt was just unbalanced for my body liking. The lace sleeves was its only saving grace but I’m always game to try on different styles.
Anyway, hope you all had a great Christmas!
Until next time!

FML: Summer Dazed with Quirky Circus

// Apricot Bloom Dress c/o Quirky Circus //

Behold my micro fringe! So, what do you think?

As you might have guessed, I’m unashamedly smug about it because I’ve been getting quite a few praises for its edge. And also, I cut it myself. On a spontaneous whim while alone in my hotel during New York travels. I win. :)

Please don’t hate on my left-for-dead locks these days. It’s a daily struggle to keep it looking at least decent to pass as healthy let alone living. Sob.

Dressed up for town like a sun-deprived sunflower, heat slapped from the weekend heatwave and enjoying a Marilyn Monroe moment in this flirty cute sundress from Quirky Circus, the offbeat sibling to older sister brand Mink Pink, is a perfect example of being Sydney day casual for high summer.

If you enjoy vintage silhouettes and prints for the modern girl with adorable collection stories such as At The Lake, The Antique Shop and a day at the Blue Mountains, definitely check out their range in Myer or online.

Until next time!

Review: Vision Direct – Moschino Eyewear

// Sunglasses: Moschino c/o Vision Direct //

There’s a frame for every face. Well, I guess you can say that is a half-truth.

I would like to argue that not all faces are blessed with the versatile symmetry a perfect carved frame can demand in the growing world of eyewear. Out with the skinny and in with the new thick frame shapes, it’s a challenge that seems to bring out the strongest of emotions when you realize, it was just not meant for you.

But there is always that one pair that will make your heart beat a little faster, to stop and consider that behind its mirrored sheen, will uncover a Bright Young Thing in you just hiding behind some shaded designer bliss, and your half baked hope when you find one juuust right for you revives all over again.

Interestingly, the pointed cat eye can work for this edgier squared jaw of mine but for that speak louder and be bolder statement that has been affectionately synonymous with the Moschino attitude, channeling some hero red will never let an oversized frame hide you.

I am always in search for a frame that will sit comfortably on a wider face shape like mine and the quality of these sunnies sits nicely with no strain to give you that throbbing migraine afterward. Note: Always very much appreciated.

If you are interested in grabbing a pair or a few different incarnations for your styling pleasure, try Vision Direct and their seriously large online selection of branded specs to take advantage of their handy online features such as virtual try on testing, speedy shipping and health rebate claim options. As far as designer goes, you can expect to see a considerable list of named brands to select from and they stock current 2014 ranges too, I was impressed!

So like all the essential reds in your style guide – lipstick, handbag, and nails, never overlook that other best accessory in your arsenal no matter how hard the search.

I am, of course talking to the reflection staring back at you through that mirrored sheen.

 

Until next time!

FML: Wednesday

#selfie.  What post wouldn’t be complete without a selfie?  I called this post Wednesday, since I couldn’t help but notice the Wednesday Adam’s vibe of this look!  Enjoy!

This little house was so beautiful!!
This blouse is so beautiful, I absolutely love the details.  It is definitely one of my most favorite pieces in my wardrobe.

I made a friend :D

 This is definitely one of my favorite looks at the moment, it’s a little bit feminine and school – like, mixed with a gothic creepy doll vibe.  Yup I love it.

I got this blouse from a blog competition I won at Bright Green Laces. Check them out!  This blouse is really beautiful with all its subtle details.  I absolutely love the cut-out features, mesh textures, floral patterns and the sequinned embellishments.  It’s delicate and feminine which adds to this look perfectly.

I have been wanting to find the perfect pleated leather skater skirt for quite a while now…and I still haven’t found it. Although I do like this one, it’s not exactly what I want.  The skirt is still slightly bell-shaped instead falling in that true skater skirt style.  I wonder, will I ever be able to find the leather skater skirt of my dreams?

Until next time,

Falling through the light-manifesting world of Mirazozo, then making our way to the sea…

 

This is the second time we’ve been inside the colour installation by the Architects of Air and it’s a trippy feeling, like being on a hyper-real sci-fi set when your eyes gaze the web of fabric while your brain tries to catch up on how it perceives light and colour. Its mind alteration magic is soothing and surreal… and then you finally realize what’s so fun about it… it’s like being in a giant jumping castle! Seriously when you look on the outside there’s no better way to describe it.

Sometimes I wish fabric could be as iridescent as these spaces, but when in need some metallic can help bring the glow. I wonder if we can revive the space age clothes from the 1960s? Instead of galaxy print, how about some glittery dance pants for next season? Something out of this world would be great for winter now than the usual thick coat and long sleeve knit, but until I see retailers make fashionable tin foil dresses or selling cosmic helmet wear at the forefront, I’ll keep dreaming of my Pierre Cardin space cape.

Until next time,

Recently, Siree and I decided to check out Mirazozo.  If you don’t know what Mirazozo is, it is basically a 3D art installation dome-like structure, featuring different coloured light installations…  Wow was that not the worst description of something you have ever read?

Nevertheless I tried.

Keeping with the theme of colour I knew it was my chance to flaunt all my Tie-dye purchases from Thailand.  I absolutely fell in love with Tie-dye  in Thailand..I don’t know if it was the weather, or the relaxed attitude or my extreme happiness, but an unbreakable bond was formed.  I don’t really care if it’s not “in Vogue” at the moment, it is awesome and that is all that matters.

Austin Powers would be proud.
