Hi Everyone,

I’m baaaaaack. Can I just say being an adult plain and simply sucks…working long hours leaves me absolutely no time for myself or blogging – I cry! But my New Year’s resolution is to blog blog blog!!

I’m here with an advertorial for the lovely Quicky Circus! What’s great about Quirky Circus is that it is a brand by Aussie loved Mink Pink. Whilst Mink Pink tends to be a bold, grungy New York style, you can find Quirky Circus‘ collections have an inspired vintage flare.

Necklace: Colette | Top: Bardot | Shorts: Quirky Circus

When Quirky Circus approached us to do an advertorial for them I couldn’t wait. I absolutely love the pieces across all their collections. We were given a choice out of the “At The Lake” Collection, and I chose the Quirky Circus “Blue Bouquet” shorts since summer was on its way. They are the perfect summer shorts – loose, flowy and vibrant – a great piece to add that pop of summer colour to your outfits.

I have and always will be a detail orientated person. The small unique details make me happy and it’s often these details that sway me to choose one clothing item over the other. What I absolutely loved on these shorts was this notice right here on the tag:

Can I just reiterate the following: “Vintage Inspired Designed to Fade – This garment is designed to fade to give a vintage inspired look”

How awesome is that? Your shorts will fade per wear, tear and washing to create a personalised vintage look. Seriously. It’s the little things.

The material and overall quality of the garment is great! Really well made – secure stitching, great pockets and I love the dart detailing on the front of the shorts.

I thought I’d put this shot in, in memory of my ombre.

So where can you get your hands on them? These shorts are called “Blue Bouquet” and you can find Quirky Circus clothing at any Myer store in Australia…or keep your eyes peeled for my upcoming Giveaway!

“MINKPINK. Designed and loved for who we are. Be brave and free.”

We all know there’s a gigantic hole swooping the Australian fashion market for well designed, gorgeous, yet affordable clothing. It’s something that has been close to our hearts here at The Hidden Thimble and it’s the thing we LOVE most about MINKPINK’s philosophy. 8 Years on, the Australian iconic brand have stayed true to themselves designing inspirational, original pieces that girls can afford to buy and LOVE to wear. I for one know I’ve worn the death out my favorite floral MINKPINK skater skirt!

I am forever tired of the dreary colours that seem to come out in winter…I’m so sick of seeing dull grey and black tones being paired together. And when there is color, it’s always the same dark blues or purples. I mean, who said winter had to be boring?

If you’re feeling me right now, do read on. It’s time to get cheeky, sassy and edgy this winter because MINKPINK’s 2014 Wild Child of Rock winter collection is EPIC!

MINKPINK brings a fun, eclectic and old-school vibe to this winter – jam packed with a whole heap of grunge and sass – and we know how much us Aussies love street grunge and how much The Hidden Thimble loves sass! Ladies am I right? Am I riiiigghhtt??

: Speaking of sass lovely ladies (and gents of course) who may be reading this, what better way to authentically carry out this collection than to team up with daughters Chelsea and Alexandra, of rock legends Aerosmith and Rolling Stone’s Keith Richards ohmagawd!

MINKPINK Winter collection 2014 pays homage to the age of rock stars so it’s time to get styled in your shaggy fur coats, bohemian bell sleeves and 70s vintage coats, studs and all else glam and rock!

I’ve only got six words to display my love for the next series of outfits. Fur, leather, metallic, gold, silver and lace. The best combination to glam up this winter!

I am in love with the print and metallic colour of that jumper.

Want some colour thrown in there? Don’t worry MINKPINK are one step ahead!

I’m really loving furry things this winter. The amount of comfort I feel from rugging up in something soft and nubbly in winter just brings a joy that is incomparable. And the colour of that baggy cardigan is just so minty fresh! Love!

Finally, my favorite pieces of the whole collection! Here’s some winter colour that’s not your typical dull and muted hues. I absolutely cant get enough of that matching blazer and shorts combo!

So I know the burning question on your mind right now….
