Sea shells and Block print

Tunic: Jaipur, India, Jewellery: Sydney markets and India

A cluster of shell necklaces, tiny block-print tunic, a vintage leather tooled beauty, little flower crown, ethnic cuffs, little things that cheer me up at the end of a dreary break...The last day of the Easter holidays saw me sleeping really late and then I decided to walk around the neighbourhood in search of something yummy to eat/ just walk the little laneways and look greedily at pretty houses with pretty plants. Not a great outfit post but this is what I normally wear; prints I like, loads of jewellery especially the kind I am obsessed with at a particular time, which right now happens to be cowrie shells for some reason, as many flowers as I can stick around me and comfy boots. Basically not something that is well thought out but just things that make me happy whether they are on or off me.

What are your go to pieces? Things that you are obsessed with at the moment?

Blogger buddies RULE!

Dress: Anokhi, Bag and Beanie: Sportsgirl, Boots: India

I have had a rough couple of days and have been dealing with some yucky personal stuff lately and that had made me crawl into a hole and avoid doing much here but then one of my blogger buddies (Hey Debi!)spoke to me all night and that helped me gain a little perspective and I decided I miss my little band of fabulous feminist ladies too much to mope around for long. Therefore here I am...

My love for ethnic blockprint fabric is well documented here as is my unwavering devotion to this brand called Anokhi which supports local crafts people in Jaipur, India therefore I shall not bore you with more odes to this fabric. Instead let me tell you the story of this particular Anokhi dress; made out of thick linen fabric it used to be a maxi which looked completely ridiculous on me, so I hacked it and let the ends fray. I intend on patchworking one of my army bags with the leftover fabric and I love the shapeless-ness plus floaty sleeves of this dress which make me feel like I have wings. All in all a win-win situation, where I have a dress I love which is perfect for fall weather, I can wear a tonne of layers under the dress and it is something that no one else has and fabric from it will help me personalize my army bag. So much happiness from one little dress!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter holiday and feasting on goodies, I am off to do some work and then take it easy. Happy Sunday world!

Tropical swamps and ducks ponds

Shorts: Vintage Levi's 501s, Back-pack: Vintage, Jewellery: India and Sydney markets

A beautiful sunny day plus loads of early morning chores ensured that we wanted to do something that involved some effort, therefore off we went on bikes riding along swamps and duck ponds, spotting birds and bats, eating hot dogs and generally having a ball.

I wore a tee-shirt with a crochet cardigan over a pair of ancient Levi's 501s and then kept taking layers off all afternoon to stay cool, can you tell I am in love with this woven bikini? We met heaps of pretty pups, climbed trees, chilled by a lake, planned renovations in a house we don't have yet, came home and cooked Indian dinner, all in all a beautiful day. Hope you had fun whatever you did. Happy start of the week, can't wait till the Easter break!
