Scarily enough, during this short photo session, a fire had been set off at a nearby carpark which engulfed about 40 cars in the parking lot and cut our day short. We were lucky to not be within the vicinity of the accident but its definitely scary to know what the sweltering heat can do!

Although I didn't end up with many photos with this incredible dress by Shilla, I am definitely grateful we were safe and out of harm's way.

And seeing as the heat has been creeping its way into our daylight savings, I thought it was only fitting to start sharing posts featuring dresses for the Summer. With all the celebratory occasions ahead I'll be making sure I keep an eye out for "the dress" and the "the back-up". This one is definitely going in "the dress" pile ;)

And just in case you were wondering if it came in other colours, it is also available in Cream/Lavendar and Cream Black at Shilla.

Thank you daylight savings for generously donating your sunlight on this late afternoon after my accidental sleep in! Without further ado, lets see what Her Fashion Box had installed for us for September.

Her Fashion Box Neon Clutch, Puretan Pure Moisturiser, Lonvitalite Facemask, Maybelline New York Color Show Nailpolish, Designer Brands Chubby Lip Crayon, Designer Brands Kohl Pencil

The below images are raw photos without colour adjustment to show you the true colour of the products:

The Maybelline Color Show Nailpolishes are medium-dry polishes but they're very pigmented and quite chip resistant. You'll only need 2 coats at most to get the same colour as the bottles with these bad boys!

As for the Chubby Lipstick crayon, this was so smooth and velvety and definitely pigmented. Because the crayon is quite smooth, its hard to get a harsher line to line the edges of your lips (as you can see above) so you'll still need a lip liner to define your lip shape but I'm overall pleased with the colour and how it moisturises my lips.

It was so hard to flick the tail of this dress and look elegant so I guess we'll have to make-do with:
  1. A picture of me awkwardly holding up the tail of my dress without dropping it for the photo and 
  2. A picture of me finally dropping the the tail of the dress...with my eyes closed... and a man in the backdrop LOL
Needless to say, I still managed to squeeze in a fun afternoon before the hayfever kicked in and I had a wonderful weekend with cheese platters and wine tasting in Hunter Valley.

Vintage Barrels and Jumpsuits

If you know me well then you'd know that to see me in pants is a VERY rare sighting. I'm almost always in a dress or skirt because, like every girl, I'm quite body conscious and I don't feel that pants suit my body shape. However, as the weather got warmer and as I started hovering over the playsuit section, I started picking up some jumpsuits along the way and they really grew on me. I was also pleasantly surprised to find a jumpsuit that was just right for my height!

Unfortunately we didn't have a lot of sunlight left for the day during this photo set but hopefully this will suffice for now. Have a great weekend everybody :)

Morange and Sunny Days

Spring is here and I'm on the hunt for more colours, prints, stripes and short suit sets! I haven't exactly found my short suit set yet but I couldn't pass the retro printed skorts and took them out for a whirl today with some orange stripes and a new camera lens.

I'm still adjusting to taking photos outside. Bloggers don't usually talk about it but yes it does get awkward when strangers pass by and wonder why you're taking photos by yourself..... but it felt so good to get some Vitamin D and I can't wait to see the flowers in full bloom soon!


My Choies choice & Fiji!

Skirt by Choies, Top is actually a dress by Bianca Gomez

Thank you to Choies for this amazing Dion Lee inspired asymmetrical layered skirt. If you are intending on purchasing this skirt, it is perfectly structured and requires no ironing at all but it does fit a bit snug due to the thickness of the layers. I'm usually a size 8 and for this skirt I'm a size M and I'm in love with it. To purchase your own click here.

My apologies for the recent absence! I've been soaking up some sun in Fiji and slowly getting back into the swing of things now (although my mind is kind of still operating on Fiji-time). It was my second time to Fiji but my first time with a large group and I had an amazing experience! On this trip I:

  • Tried Fiji's National Drink called kava and felt my tongue become numb
  • Watched a polynesian dance show and fire show 
  • Ate too much every morning at the breakfast buffet
  • Spent quality time just having laying by the pool or beach, sipping on cocktails, drinking from coconuts and making most of each night with a great bunch of friends
  • Witnessed two beautiful friends get married on a beach in Fiji. It was so romantic and I cried like an absolute baby! Congratulations and much love to Josh and Irene, the officially wedded couple!
  • Sunbake on the roof of a boat with friends and unlimited champagne
  • Lie in a hammock without a worry in the world
  • Went snorkelling and met a random Fijian man that took me to a spot in the water where I could feed some fish, who knew they liked bread!
  • Get over my fear of starfish by holding a blue starfish in my hands. Although this was involuntary, I don't regret it at all!
  • Got really weird looking tan lines which you can see on my back in these photos

And without further ado, here are some snaps from Fiji
