A Penchant for Pink

Say hello to the newest addition to my bag family - a square tote that is in a lovely dusty pink. And of course it's from LaPalette, where else would I find such a treasure? Pink has never been really my colour of choice, but this bag really appealed to the girly side of me. The colour has been very well matched with the black and baby blue detailing. 

It was still winter when I bought this printed bomber jacket. I think it's in the most divine shade of blue with a sort of an Asian/Japanese kimono like print. Spring is already heralding it's entrance with blooming flowers so I thought it was quite appropriate, and am really excited to be able to wear it now! (I do love my loud jackets) It's pretty lightweight, so perfect for keeping the sun off my skin so I don't get too tanned - ya'll know how I feel about tanning.

Looks like a busy couple weeks ahead for me, with mid semester essays/laundry/messy rooms/pre-readings/quizzes/lab reports all screaming my name. Am literally up to my eyeballs with work, finishing all of it will be such a battle. *arms self with giant unicorn plush toy and chocolate*

To war!

Big thankyou to Jen who helped with the photos!

Paisley Thrills

If you haven't noticed already, my latest go to winter staple is this lovely paisley printed bomber jacket/hoodie. I was really drawn to the intricate combinations of red, burgundy, mint, and the occasional splash of yellow. It's got a beautiful satin finish with a black quilted interior that has kept me surprisingly warm for the past few weeks that have been growing colder with each day. 

Now that exams are over and I'm caught up in the whirlwind of packing to head back to Singapore, I find that this jacket is just perfect for spicing up the plain outfits that I've been throwing on in a hurry every day. 

This shoot is as spontaneous as it will get. I met up with my friend Lei, and I had a wonderful time with her catching up over brunch and relieving some exam stress. Turns out she had planned for an outfit shoot later that day and she asked me to join her. Our friend, Jen, helped us take the photos.

Lei also blogs, so check out her awesome fashion blog here to show her some unicorn lovin' !

Unplanned as it was, I'm quite happy with the way it turned out. I'm not a very adventurous person and like to stick with comfort, but I enjoyed the unexpectedness of having another person doing the photo-taking and shooting with a friend.

Oh see that scrape on my knee? Don't mind it. I was just being my clumsy self. In my case, it's an actual talent.

Printed

Besides the free shipping to Australia for ASOS, I honestly have very little to say about shopping in Melbourne. Sometimes I feel it's so backward I want to hide my head in a hole like a depressed ostrich and cry. (by the way, ostriches don't really stick their heads in the ground.)

You can imagine my excitement when I heard topshop was having a sale. No one can blame me for being attracted to sales. Women's brains are just wired to respond to this word. There is evidence showing higher levels of brain activity in women shown the word "sale".

Psychology student talking there. 

I picked up a printed blouse with cream piping round the collar, shoulders and cuffs. It's got a silk finish with just enough weight in the fabric to stay flowy but static free in this dry weather. I wanted the beautiful print to be at the center of attention so I kept everything else to a simple black.

The creeper wedges are also a new addition to my shoe collection; they came in the mail the day before the shoot. I took a look at them and got worried because of how big and high they look, but I was just so in love with them once I put them on. They're extremely comfortable, stable and perfect for just stomping around places. Also, plus points for helping me feel like less of a midget.
