Silk and crochet







Balinese silk dressing gown and belt: Op shopped, Crochet dress: Vintage, Bondi markets, Jewellery: Glebe markets,India and Mexico, Boots: India, Leggings: Tibetan market


Such a gloomy gloomy Thursday, the boy was sickety sick, i felt under the weather, the skies matched our mood therefore I decided to wear something that would cheer me up and added turquoise to the mixture to up the happy. I think I am happy with the result, I mean a keen eye can spot residual gloomy-ness creeping into the pictures but atleast I made an effort.

This crochet dress is another yummy vintage find from the Bondi markets and I am happy to say I now cannot imagine my life without it. Seriously I don't know what I'd do without band tees, denim, leather, crochet and block print cotton and silk AND silver jewellery loads and loads of silver jewellery. Okay all this rambling is happening because I have been planning my packing and cannot take all my favourite things. Ten weeks without all my pretty beauties in a country that is filled with chauvinistic men and people who think women who dress in sleeveless tops are asking to be eve-teased or raped is looking pretty daunting.

Thank God I have my lovely family to keep me company. Gaaah where I can fill a petition to get the airlines to increase their luggage allowance?

Blah, my favorite thing in the whole world- being teased because of the way I dress -_- It's great you have your family with you and by the way, totally know how it is with packing :D Try taking only the vital beauties in your wardrobe...(sorry for the dumb advice) :D
