Ahhhh oh my gosh! I almost can’t contain my excitement for Spring!
I absolutely love this look – it’s super girly and colourful and I get to have a sneak peak of florals announcing “spring is here!” Yes!! Spring is finally here!!
Unfortunately though, it’s still a little chilli and the transition seasons are always hard to get the balance between keeping warm and keeping cool just right. Especially since Australian weather at this time varies drastically throughout the day – the mornings are winter freezing and the day heats up to almost summer temperatures.
So what do you do? You layer! Layering is probably my favourite thing to do with my outfits because it always ends up looking stylish. Plus an added bonus – you can always take the layers off as the day heats up!
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.
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!
Though winter fashion is a lot of fun to wear, I’ve been hunting for some inspo for my spring time wears to show and tell.
MURUA is a Japanese MODE brand for those who don’t know and I must say, it is one of my favourite brands – out of the many on my heart list – because of my little obsession with the producer Momoko Ogihara and her style. She even has a make up style called the “Momoko Blush” that many Japanese girls emulate which is to put blush on the higher parts of your cheekbone. How amazing is that! To have such influence in the daily fashion of young girls?
But I digress. The collection concept for Murua’s Spring Summer 2013 is called “Futuristic Mermaid.”
Futuristic Mermaid
In the world of crystal clear sea,
you find a romantic and dreamy mermaid.
Soft and feminine colors meet hard and transparent decoration
~ the combination brings you a new futuristic world
So what does a “futuristic mermaid” look like? The creative minds at Murua came up with this image for their campaign…
Super pretty no?
Browsing through their catwalk photos I can certainly see the images of being a “mermaid” with different sized sequins, fishnet mesh facial wear, plastic outerwear and bauble bubble accessories complimenting the green, blue and aqua hues with watercoloured flower prints.
Super feminine, street classy with a nice edge. So which are my bias picks from the collection?
I want these metallic oxford lace ups!! It appeared in last season’s line but dayum!! Still want!
…I might need to buy this ASAP… only if it came with that outer piece lol
I noticed the use of “plastic” material is very in-trend at the moment but only in shoes. Call me crazy but I wouldn’t mind having these little structures wrapped around me. Maybe Lady Gaga patent the look for herself LOL
If you want to purchase any pieces, unfortunately they are only available through Japanese websites but head over to Runway Webstore if you know your Japanese.
