Candy Pants

Long shorts? Short longs? The name doesn't make a whole lot of sense but I love them anyway.

Shorts have always been a bit of a dilemma for me. I've never really been a fan of short shorts - showing off my thighs just isn't my thing, and I never really thought I could go for the longer kind given I'm ...vertically challenged.

Despite my height concerns, I couldn't resist these cotton candy coloured knee length shorts! So I took a chance on a little pastel perfection, and it was a sweet success!

I knew if I was going to make the long short look work I was going to need some serious leg lengtheners on my feet. I spied these gorgeous Miista mint sandals on sale on Solestruck and just knew they were the perfect match. Height boosting platform and heel, with with a skinny flash of skin all the way down the front for a slim and long look! They're uber comfy and a lil funky too, which gets me every time.





I teamed my candy coloured newbies with an old favourite - my batman crop, for a little edge, and buckled up with a cute little kitty cat belt. Meow!

Revival

As you may have read in my previous post, I scored this sweet little Romance Was Born embellished vest at The Diva's Wardrobe on Sunday. In the spirit of sustainable fashion, for the afternoon of shopping I'd decided to sport my favourite family hand-me-down, this gorgeous bright red leather skirt which used to belong my Aunt. I'd paired it with my all time favourite Batman crop (an oldie but a goodie), and then when I tried on the denim vest it just looked like I'd been planning the purchase all along! It was the perfect addition to my outfit (and my wardrobe).

MBFF Outfit

Last night I headed in to the city to see the emerging designers group show at Brisbane's 

Mercedes Benz Fashion Festival. 

It was a great night showcasing the talents of up and coming Brisbane designers and the perfect opportunity to debut my new Josh Goot purchase!

OOTD: Inked

I invested in these amazing SOOT. printed neoprene shorts a while ago at Marie Claire's James Street Up Late event, after falling in love with them at first sight. I'm obsessed with the intricate hand drawn 'Ink Print' that also features in several other pieces in SOOT.'s most recent collection 'Paperback', a number of which are currently on my wishlist. I definitely recommend checking out SOOT.'s website for more gorgeous pieces!

I teamed my SOOT. Elroy shorts with my favourite cropped Batman top by Lazy Oaf, my Oliver bag, and chelsea ankle boots from ASOS, and then threw on my thrifted oversize denim jacket to ward off the winter cold.
