Pink Lady

While pale pink is usually labelled a "girly" colour, these perfect pastel pink pieces definitely had me feeling more woman than girl.

I usually like to go for playful looks, where fun is always number one, but I have to say this figure hugging midi might have set me on a path more babetown than funhouse.

Showing off some bootylicious curves and feeling like a bombshell: A++ feeling, would recommend.

Aside from my obvious obsession with all things pink, this outfit also includes a lovechild of two of my other big obsessions - neoprene and marabou feathers. 

Being an addict for all things a little "out-there", my wardrobe always seems to be lacking basic pieces. I've desperately needed a black bag in my life for a while but had never found one that excited me until now. This fluffy black clutch by Somewhere Nowhere gave me the warm and fuzzies at first sight and it's been love ever since. 

Just like I could never settle for a basic black bag, I'm not a boring black heel kind of gal either. My United Nude babies (yes, I refer to my shoes as babies) are the perfect amount of edgy and cray to win my heart, and are about as close as I am willing to get to being a #basicbitch

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!

Meow!

Mesh: check

New shoes: check

Sequins: check

Crazy cat lady pride: check!

What more could a fashion and feline loving gal want?

It was love at first sight when I came across this mesh and sequin meow crop. It's everything I love rolled into one! Although I purchased it almost immediately, sadly it's been living on a hanger for months. Too sheer on its own. Too cute to cover up. Dilemma!

I didn't think another layer of mesh would really help the situation, but I'm glad I I tried it out and proved myself wrong. Now that I've worn these two together I think they're paired for life!

Despite the fact that my top is CAT THEMED (did I mention I love cats?), I think I'm somehow just as excited about my new shoes. They are SUPER comfy and definitely a new go to shoe for uni. Just wearing them makes me want to run around and be active!

Magic Mushrooms

With Brisbane's first TOPSHOP opening today, I spent this past weekend being a total fangirl. 

Twenty double passes for the launch party were up for grabs for Topshop lovers prepared to chase the promotional Topshop / Topman bus around Brisbane.

The first dedicated few to find the bus and say the codeword "P is for party" at each location scored an invite, and at the very last stop, The Brisbane Powerhouse, I was one of them!

I dressed in my best and brightest for maximum visibility to those with the power to hand out invites, which meant sporting my new Romance Was Born tee from the "Mushroom Magic" collection and these adorable new mushroom earrings!

The Magical Details:

OOTD: Picnic in Pink

With exams finished and uni finally over for the semester (YAY!), what better activity to start the holidays with than an afternoon of smiles and snacks with all my friends I had been missing during the semester. 

We got together for a cute little Sunday afternoon picnic in Southbank, but sadly the purpose of the event was to say farewell to a friend who will be heading off to Mexico until early next year - adiós Clare! 

To counter my sadness over Clare's impending departure, I picked out the brightest piece of clothing I could find in my wardrobe - these HOT PINK vintage silk pants. 

I came across these little treasures a few years ago in an antique shop in Paddington and couldn't believe my luck. They're super comfy, in perfect condition, and all the little details (especially the gemstone buttons!) are divine. They've been hiding away in the sea of clothes that is my wardrobe for far too long and I'm so glad I decided to take them out for a spin; it was near impossible not to feel happy while wearing them.

I paired them with my striped mesh crop by Glamorous from ASOS, my brand new chelsea ankle boots from ASOS, and my Graz x Ellery Quixote catseye sunglasses from Optiko.
