Vintage Versace goodness

Vintage Versace shorts: DIY-ed gifted jeans, Boots: Gifted, Hat: Myers, Jewellery: All over, Everything else: Thrifted

I have been on the look out for the perfect pair of Mom jeans to hack into a pair of boy-friend shorts that are back-packing across India-suitable and a friend just gave me her old vintage Versace, made in Italy jeans that were then DIY-ed into this man-repeller goodness. They hang off me in a shape that apparently is pleasant only to my eyes and I am in LOVE with them. I love items that travel all over the world like these boots, they were ordered online by the boy, delivered to his address in Europe and flew to Sydney with his friend and are my new footwear obsession.

I don't think I need to elaborate on my love for crochet, tie-dye, silver jewellery or carpet bags because looking at my pictures one can definitely tell I hoard all items of the above mentioned description. I put these things together haphazardly just because it was warmish, I wanted to wear my shorts, twirl my crochet shawl around, pretend to be a witch and obviously take photos. I think I succeeded and am going to bed a happy little girl. Have a great weekend all!

Crochet dress: Op-shopped, Belt: India, Bag: African markets, Moccasins: Minnetonka, Kimono: Random shop in Paddington, Jewellery: All over

I've been crazy busy working non-stop; saving money for my trip eeeeeeeeeee two weeks before my back-packing sojourn in the Himalayas and the Thar desert with one of my best friends, CANNOT WAIT. With weather here playing spoilt sport and the crazy schedule I haven't really had much time this week for fun outing or outfit posts but this morning we had a little burst of sunshine therefore I couldn't help but wear my favourite combination of crochet with Kimono/Cape. And paired it with my beloved rings, leather bracelets and belt, tooled African leather cross-body bag and my moccasins basically all my favourite things. The belt I mentioned in one of my previous posts can be seen more clearly in this one, isn't she the prettiest? I wish it was summer and we had all the music festivals to go to, ah well come November when the northern hemisphere prepares for winter we'll be looking forward to the beautiful almost tropical Sydney summer.

On another note, I have just discovered a great great blog Madame de Rosa, most of it is in Spanish but the pictures are lovely and she wears the most original outfits. She's extremely popular and maybe you have heard of her already but I cannot stop myself from sharing inspirational finds. I have just gone through almost all of her blog and am left wanting more. Here are a few of her pictures; SHEER BRILLIANCE. Have a lovely week everyone!

The last four pictures are from Madame de Rosa's blog.
