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,

Wish – Wait For Sunrise Winter Collection ’14

Winter is coming.

Okay we know this isn’t Game of Thrones, but we couldn’t resist!

But it’s true, autumn is upon us and the signs are already showing – today it was dark by 7PM! Farewell long summer days…

However, as summer slowly dwindles away, it really only means it’s time for one thing! Updating your Autumn/Winter wardrobe! Here’s where WISH’s ‘Wait for Sunrise’ 2014 Winter Collection comes in.

WISH has this winter sorted with the perfect collection of edgy, urban and feminine creations. WISH’s winter collection traditionally plays among the familiar sepia and blue based undertones of winter, but with a twist – capturing an autumn sunrise with shades of vibrant reds, blush pinks and pops of magenta.

We’re loving the clean, modern sophistication of this collection and with its geometric patterns, delicate lace and florals, it’s both feminine and elegant. Experimentation with different textures and materials gives WISH’s collection that extra dimension.

So, where’s the oversized coats and the layers of thick-whatever-keeps-you-warm we hear you say? Pfft this is the Australian Winter fool! We brave the 16-degree chill while getting a tan – cause that’s how we do! Pairing a flowy dress with a fitted jacket? Or a lace long sleeve with leather shorts? Check! This juxtaposed look for the season keeps things fresh and Wish has a range of dresses even for the Winter time. Look at the geometric print dress in the promo! Can’t you see yourself strutting in that enjoying the winter nightlife? We do!

Layering heavy fabrics such as knit over lace and mesh textures, makes for a lighter winter silhouette – say goodbye to that winter bulky feel.  These paired with cut out knit details and embossed fabric embellishments makes your winter wardrobe fun!  After all, mixing and matching different elements together = MAXIMUM STYLE COMBINATIONS!!!!

Worried about transitioning between the seasons this Autumn? We know we always are. It’s difficult to find something to wear that isn’t too hot and isn’t too cool. Wish understands. This collection covers all bases by pairing singlet tops with patterned trousers, long sleeved tops with shorts and stylish jackets over your short-sleeved evening dresses. WISH achieves a perfect balancing act to keep you comfy this Autumn and keep you warmer as winter unfolds.

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.

The Week in Photos – and our first Blogshop!

Siree here!

Wow I’m finally back from travels (but that’s for another post sorray!)

We had our first blog shop exactly a week ago and it was great success with some pleasant surprises.  Here’s what you missed!

Tadah our store set-up. We got a bit high tech with the iPad for the Etude House and Skinfood cosmetics we had on display. It’s all in the details :)

Our variety of “ViVi” inspired vintage items got people curious which was wonderful! Personally, I feel our love for this style is still new and niche for a majority of people but we hope to spread the love around the Sydney scene more! Thanks to Little Treasures Market and Margaret from le petite mademoiselle for having us and to Blackflower Patisserie for all the macarons on the day! Not to mention everyone who came to visit (and to Shu for hanging out with us!) :)

My favourite piece from the stuff I got was this two-piece matchy set. So cute for that summer-by-the-pool kind of vibe. No doubt the person who bought it also thought it was adorbs!

The weather in Sydney has been pretty shiot lately I must say. Cold, rainy than a hint of sun just to tease us blah! But I capped off the busy week with some festive Thanksgiving dinner at Neutral Bay with the home sick office folk!

Couldn’t get past all the pumpkin hype! Got some pumpkin ale from Seattle to wash everything down.

The menu includes honey glazed ham, prime rib and oven-roasted turkey, cornbread, stuffing, *gasps for air* green beans, candied yams, sweet potato pie, succotash and mash potatoes. Absolutely yummo! Dessert was pecan, apple and pumpkin pie! Would’ve liked it more if there was the whole pie and not a tasting plate because family style all the way!

If you came to our blogshop let us know what you thought! We might have another one so stay tuned and make sure you follow us on facebook and instagram!

 Until next time!

Turning 1!

Aloha!

Siree here. Just five days ago this little blog turned 1 and we can certainly say with unabashed pride we are growing up!

From the beginning to now we’ve gone through many stages of writing, diligent diary syncing, eating, more eating (for science!), procrastinating and idea brainstorming to finally being able to share this space with you. Seriously, whenever we look back we wished we started this idea for a blog sooner. Seeing all these young blood blogging during their uni day makes us envious about what we could have fit into our uni day beside our usual dinner/club activities/uni social event gathering/karaoke after school sessions. Though it would be interesting to show what we did get up to after study was over ahaha (we’ll never tell!).

But we’ve achieved a lot since starting and thank you for staying around, reading and commenting it means a lot to us!

And so, remember here where I said that The Hidden Thimble was gonna have something special happening for the month of October? Well here it is:

Yes! We are going to have our first pop up store to celebrate our first birthday full of lovely trinkets as I travel to the trend cities of Tokyo and Seoul!

I’ll be sourcing not only clothes but also cosmetics and there’ll be some yummy macaroons and home made treats for the store as well!

The blog store will be happening sometime in November so keep up to date on our Facebook on location and details!

Thank you for putting up with our narcissistic selfies, Siree’s questionable spelling, random rants

and just lonnnnng procrastinating periods.

It’s something we can’t seem to shake from our self improvement list.

Until next time.

Xx

Siree
