FML: Moonlight Stories

Tell me A story


“Tell me the story
about how the moon loved the sun so much…

…that she died every night, just to let him breathe”

A twist on Hanako Ishii’s quote

She was the type to fall in love with the sun and everything that was beautifully unreachable.  She’s not bubbly like the sun, for life has brought too much sorrow.  A sensitive soul that experienced too much before it was ready,  her smile no longer reaches her eyes.

“Can you truly smile again after such sadness?” she asks, “can you light up the day like the sun?”

I’m not a bubbly person.  I am complex, deep and sometimes withdrawn and because of this, I wouldn’t say I could be described as bubbly all the time.  Yes, I feel happiness, excitement and all those feelings, but overall I am more melancholic.

I think everyone feels these kind of insecurities every so often and as corny as it sounds, you just have to accept being you and focus on the positive things you can bring to someone’s life.  So instead of shining like the sun for everyone, I muster up whatever light I have and shine like the moon for the special people in my life, quietly in the background to light up their darkest hours.

And hopefully that is enough.

How do you confront your insecurities?

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

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!

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!

Class Starts Now

… and you’re running around wondering what you are going to wear!

Attending the school of style and judging between rocking up in pajama party gear or better-look-like-I-ironed-this-shirt OOTD, the campus is a great place to play dress up or dress down (or forever in whatever works mode. I tend to get sloppier as the years went on).

Seeing this combo on a Zara mannequin, I knew I had to get ALL of it. But something was missing.

Although I wanted to add a proper bow-tie, I think this little bowsie brooch I whipped up gave it a whimsical touch playing the part of a good studious student, though I would never get to the lecture room on time to save my life.

Time to end this with a fashionably late pun!

Until Next Time!

Debuting my short bob, finally! I can’t explain the reverse Alfalfa my fringe is doing but it’s crazy, as is the faint left overs of a tan from a summer of fun-day rays, living daily in short shorts and much needed exercise.

Following from Sora’s great write up on Alice McCall’s Cruise 14 S/S collection, I couldn’t stop dreaming of owning a piece from this oh-so-fine range and settled on the super pwerdy “Over the Rainbow” playsuit. The details really speak for itself – quirky, flirty with a bold graphic liner that feathers into the cut out detailing mixed with pastel shades. Wear alone or stack some accessories, it really is a simple outfit to pull off since Pastels + Playsuit = New BFFs – the combination is just too cute!

Currently Alice McCall is having a sale so be quick if you found anything that catches your eye!

 

Until Next Time!
