Drive-in Dreams

As promised, here's todays outfit post. I wore this to the ballet exhibition in the city on Tuesday that I spoke about in my last two posts and hey look! I finally took some photos that weren't in/around my house!!  This has to be one of my favourite casual dresses in my wardrobe. It's so floaty and feminine and fits like a glove. Every time I wear it, I feel like I should be working at a drive in cinema in the 50's or 60's, rollerskating around, handing popcorn to people. Sadly though my dreams are dashed when I remember my roller skating skill level safely rests at the zero notch and hasn't budged since I was 12 and crashed into my dads car on my last attempt. And if you think that's bad, don't even get me started on the way I ice-skate. Still, a girl can dream, no? As for the shoes, I am a sucker for brogues and it is my biggest sartorial goal to have the wickedest collection of these bad boys in every possible colour by the time I die. Ooohh, maybe I'll make a Sartorial Bucket List! 

Have a wonderful weekend my lovelies, I have to work :(

A cheesy grin from Patrick who was wonderful enough to take my photos for me. Thank you, kind boy!

Hello, 2013!

So let's not mention how I haven't posted in a month. No, let's not speak of that at all ;)

A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everybody or anybody who reads this. This little blog is nearly 1 year old! As is tradition around this time of year, I've compiled a short list of resolutions which I can hopefully stick by (but don't take my word for it, baby I'm not ready for that kind of commitment). For the blog, the biggest is just to post more frequently and to make it a bigger reflection of my personal style so it can become a visual diary of sorts. And what better way to start than with a style post? 

This little number is super casual and laid back - something I'm not too whiz at as I love getting fancy a bit too often. So I'm challenging myself this year to be more basic and dressed down; 'urban', if you will. The red skirt is lightweight and fabulous for the extreme hot weather we've been experiencing in Sydney or just loafing about town on a regular day :) I'm experimenting with the knotted tee that's been trending at the moment and I quite like it. I apologise for the barren looking garden, my parents are in the middle of re-doing it. And you'll have to excuse the pictures being a little cheesy, I'm not at all accustomed to flouncing about in front of a camera. All in good time, my friend! 

More soon, 

A. 

(extra cheesy for your viewing pleasure, I know how you like that ;)
