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.

Style Diary - Para. Para. Paradise


Remember my post about my Versace for H&M Shirt?
Well Wal Lah, here is my Style Diary post

The shirt is your contemporary Hawaiian/Tiki Shirt, something overly graphic but fun.
Love love loving the Blue Palm Tree front and the Black Alligator back, the combination is out there but it works in a 90's trend look.

This is my take on a Versace for H&M look, simple. Bit of Gold, Black (of course) and some studs from my Unif Hellraisers.

Patience

Pineapple Bun + Silver Jeans + Satsuki + CBD @ Night

My first week of 2012...

I have a funny belief that the first week of a year can map out how the year will be. 
Odd I know. And if so, my year will be Busy Busy Busy.

Still practicing the art of working and saving, I'm proud to say I officially have savings. 
Whether I still have any when I return from travels is another question I'm yet to ponder, but I have savings so I'm happy! 
I did shop... ONCE I swear... actually twice. I'm in the mood for shoes at the moment.
I'm continuing my wardrobe cull and a lot of my shoes got the boot, and for some reason I keep on finding GREAT shoe bargains which I cannot pass up. 
So when one shoe leaves the building another one turns up!


Being the New Year, new weekly arrangements were made. This led to a lot of going out with lovelies for Dinner, Shopping (strictly through windows) and some late night Karaoke showing off my finely tuned musical stylings. Though is it just me or do you cringe when you hear your voice being played back?
Because I do...

I still haven't really thought of any concrete plans for the year. I'm still waiting to be inspired.
I'm hoping that my trip to Hong Kong will inject some much needed motivation into my future path.


Time effects everyone differently. 
Sometimes it takes longer for others to do things, for things to happen, to reach the point of realization.
In general, time works in such weird and at times wonderful ways that sometimes practicing the art of Patience is needed. 
I learnt last week that Patience is key. 
That as much as I want to control, get or know things, sometimes the timing isn't right and sometimes it just takes a bit of patience to get there.
