Aussie Curves: Headwear

Dress: Vintage Thrifted $2 / Hat $3 Cabramatta / Boots Target 

I'm not sure when it happened, but I think it may have started after my first summer trip to New York 3 years ago. I found a cute little white hat in Harlem for like $6....I never realised it at the time but hats seem to be another little outfit saver for me. I'm always short on time and the trusty hat always seems to liven up my dull outfits. These pics were taken in the afternoon. We'd had lunch, watched some movies, rolled around on the carpet.....we may have even had a nana nap....but I got up and put this lavender beauty on. I picked it up at Cabramatta for $3 from one of those awesome dollar shops. YAYURR! 

Big Love,

Wedding attire in the Philippines

So here is the only proper outfit shot that I got the entire time I was away. The humidity was too much for me to try and compose myself for a shot. I rarely brushed my hair or wore any makeup but here I am in my wedding attire. I picked this dress up in New York on my first visit to Forever 21. This pretty dress was only $22. I've kept it, waiting for the right time to wear it. So Joan & Karl's Wedding  on the beach was the perfect occasion. 

I planned to let my hair hang naturally but it got so hot that I eventually chucked it all up. Dark eyes and nude lips for a dramatic fresh look and I wore my fave purchase from Manila....my green and yellow geometric earrings. No shoes cause I left them on the beach. The hat was a necessity because of the heat and sun. We were lucky enough to capture the last few moments of the sunset. 

What's your ideal beach wedding look?

 Hello Wonderful Ones,
I was so delighted to have one of my most dearest friends come and visit my sister and I. We don't get to spend enough time together and it feels like a real drought considering we spent most of our days eating, sleeping, talking, laughing and shopping together for four years during college.

Anyways we spent those days exploring our local opshops and I found this top while with her. It's actually a long blouse and she suggested cropping it, tying it up or tucking it in. I think she was spot on.

I really like this shirt and I even pulled out my 'Teacher Hat' (yes we have to wear hats when on playground duty) only this time I wanted to wear it and it made me feel like a lady *note to self, must wear hats more*.

Despite catching colds we managed to shop, eat soups, play board games, laugh at regretsy and kinda feel like we were back in our college dorm rooms. Priceless.

My niece was climbing trees whilst we were taking photos so we decided to join her.

Don't forget to make time for your friends. They are all the therapy one needs.


Big Love,
