Summer is Here!

Wearing: ASOS dress, vintage hat, sportsgirl wedges

 

The first day of summer has fast approached us after a long dreary winter which I thought would never end. Having to get up at 4.30am for work through the winter almost killed me, but it was all worth it for my ten week trip to Europe which is fast approaching also, in all my hopes I hope it comes a bit faster. I can't wait to document my travels on here. In the meantime I shall fill my blogs pages with banter and clothes.

This dress was so cheap on asos I really did question the quality of it, but to my surprise it was great fabric, and a perfect fit. The dress is so easy to wear in summer especially on those days at the beach with the warm summer breeze gushing past you, it's light and the pattern is so pretty, the long tail is also a winner! These shoes I bought from sportsgirl a few years ago now but they are super comfy and I couldn't tell you enough times how much I love them. This hat was a bit of an opshop find, and I see these things in ops hops all the time so I'm pretty sure you could get one at your local thrift store.

Life has blessed me with a beautiful day today, no work and friends, so I must soak up some of this sunshine! XO

Dress: Op-Shop find, (can't really label it as 'vintage'), Shoes Op-shop (but I see these boots everywhere), socks- stolen from sister (cotton on).

This bad boy was found in the big lady section of the op-shop but works as a dress also! I love the big beautiful gold rose shaped buttons, and the beautiful colour. At only $4 it was a great find, if I don't say so myself. Yes I am aware my smile is super dorky- but the flowy-ness makes me feel happy and silly plus the fact I'm finished with uni, yippee! I'm off to see Deep Sea Arcade hence the blog post title.

Goodbye xo

Wearing: Vintage altered dress, Necklaces from Op-Shop, Bowler Hat from Ebay, Bracelet from Ebay, Shoes from Myer and Socks by Cotton On.

When my sister asked me to do some photos for her, and take a study break I was overjoyed and not just because I was getting away from study. I love taking photos of people where you can never get a bad shot (not that I am experienced in that area), but with my Madeleine it is so easy as it is almost impossible to get a bad photograph of her. At 15 she knows what she likes and these are her first set of heels- gush! She requested I style the shoot and borrow pretty much all my clothes (as usual). But she really wanted to wear these colours with the bright lipstick and add in her frilly socks. I love this simple black dress that I have worn many occasions, originally I found it in the plus size section of the Op-Shop and by sewing up the sides it became the perfect black shift dress. Dressed up or down, worn by itself or under something else, it always does it's job.

All photos/ styling/ make-up by me.
