Break

Surf City + Birkin Beach + Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Slurpee + McQueen/Hellraiser Dinner

Last Week I took time off....Shocking I know 

I have this thing where I have to fill up my time with things, generally that's work or seeing friends and the like; I don't like to do nothing... it weirds me out. But like any human I need that random few days off to recharge.

I took a break to the Beach, Torquay to be exact for some much needed Rest and Relaxation and some of the good old Aussie Vitamin D. I even had my Marc Jacobs moment, with my Birkin Tote on the beach...one day it will be an Hermes Birkin! It was really nice just to sit down and read my Australian Vogue in the sun and eat and... well sleep. 

Did I mention eat? The best thing on a break is just to feast on everything anything in sight. (Another FAT Week it was). The local IGA stocked Reeces Pieces and Hershey Cookie & Creme Slabs, again a very indulgent time. 

The Wifey and I went to see the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, starring my Style Crush Rooney Mara. Tres intense movie, I liked the light and shade of the film with the random sarcastic humour.

Taking a Break last week helped to redefine things.

Priorities and the Importance for things and others changed.
All for the best and in the pursuit of that Path and Balance!

Style Diary - Silver Summer

This year's summer has been a box of all sorts. 

Hot. Cold. Hot. Cold. More Cold. Even Rain... 

Though living in Melbourne.. I really should not be surprised...

In summer it's hard to really wear or enjoy a lot of pieces of clothing in a look. It's just too damn hot! 

This is probably why I'm really into accessories and particular statements pieces which help to bring out my style with minimal pieces. 

I still like to have a stylish look even if it's over 30 degrees...

I love love love my Silver Jeans, a statement piece but at the end of the day to me.. they're just jeans. 

For this look I just wanted to work the 'jeans and tee', accessorizing with my Alexander McQueen De-Manta Clutch and Unif Hellraisers. For fun I added my Key Necklace I got from the St Kilda Night Market and a Bolt Ring... which is literally a bolt that I wear as a ring.

Path

It is safe to say that with all of these food shots it was a FAT Week for me.

Not common, but needed every once and a while.

I like to have my FAT and Skinny days depending on my mood/cravings. But for some reason this week was all about the food and conversation. And with long conversations comes a lot of food!!

I managed to get a day off, which was tres relaxing. I've been wanting to sit down and read the stacks of magazines which I've bought over the years, but I haven't had the time recently. So it was really good to just sit down and simply read the articles that go with the editorials and all. Sounds weird doesn't it..?

I love love love reading the stylist and designer profiles. And note my Favourite spread from Vogue Homme International, Male Models in embellished Leggings. LOVE LOVE LOVE! 

Birthdays, Going Aways and the general catch ups were in order for the week. 

Trying to keep a balance somehow, with help from friends like caffeine and my trusty alarms in the early mornings.

By the end of my long week (which is Monday) I'm tres buggered and I'm ready for a break.

Luckily this week I'm off to Torquay for some much needed rest and relaxation!

Don't worry the trusty laptop is coming too! I'll be blogging from the beach. 

Bliss no?

I'm in search for a new path. 

Me being me I'm in need for new experiences and lifestyle.

What last week taught me was to follow my gut, and that sometimes the world helps to reinforce your beliefs and hunches.

When life throws things at you it's important to take it and interpret it for your own path.

I need to carve out my year and my new path. 

It sounds scary, but I'm just as excited.
