Today was a SCORCHER in Sydney, it was definitely too hot for pants and tight clothes so thank goodness for my SS14 love for culottes and oversized tops. As culottes become more of a hot commodity this season, I've been finding it hard to find an affordable new line (and even vintage) pair. If you're someone that's after affordable fashion like me, I think you'd be pleased to know that these Isabel Monochroms Grid Check Tailored Culottes are only $20.00 from Boohoo Official. They've got an amazing range of super affordable tops, bottoms and dresses which I would definitely recommend to the frugal fashionista!

I'd also like to give a big thanks to the awesome Tito-licious for buying copious amounts of coconut water and iced tea to help us power through about 5 outfit shoots this weekend. You are my blog motovator!

Ruby Sees All and Mules

Outfit by Ruby Sees All, Shoes by Therapy from The Iconic // Photos by Tito Burrito

Y'all know how I'm like when I see a matching set - it's an instant MUST HAVE IT moment, especially when it comes to Ruby Sees All. It's slowly emerging as one of my favourite Auslabels and I can't wait to see more of whats to come for SS14. The weather is warming up over here and I'm excited for skirts, crops and summer capes.

On another note, I also finally found my mules! I fell in love with ZARA's mules earlier this year but was a few days too late and the shoe was nowhere to be found. Then one day as I was scrolling through The Iconic I noticed a similar pair by Therapy Shoes for a fraction of the price, gosh I love a good bargain! The Iconic stock brands such as Therapy and Spurr that have shoes starting from $20 which is utterly amazing, if you haven't had a browse yet I would highly recommend it if you're always after a bargain like me :)

Embracing The Lace with Missguided

Becki Cropped Premium Scalloped Lace Blouse by Missguided.co.uk, Hat by Lack of Colour, Culottes by Boohoo, Shoes by Forever 21 // Photos by Tito Burrito

Lace is known for being feminine, romantic and dainty so this month for Missguided's Embrace The Lace, I decided to take up the challenge of giving lace a lil' edge.... how did I go? Yes? No? Would love to hear your feedback!

I've been dying to take out the culottes which I chose for this ensemble. Once the weather picks up for Spring I'll be living in culottes and midi skirts. They're incredibly comfortable, easy to slip on, appropriate for the workplace and perfect if you haven't had time for leg maintenance yet (or if you're clumsy like me and tend to get bruises all over your legs - see previous outfit post for proof).

Missguided has an amazing range of super affordable clothes, I'll definitely be raiding the site when it gets to festival time and I'd recommend it to all of my lovely readers too :)

Probably not the most flattering angle of my feet but on a hot day like this, that's as far as I'm willing to go outside. In preparation for Chinese New Year it's been all hustle and bustle this week at the Nguyen residence. The house has been cleaned, the flower plants are decorated with red envelopes and downstairs smells like a weirdly pleasant mix of incense and Chinese food.

I wish you all health, prosperity and a Happy Chinese New Year!
