Suede shorts and bombshell cuff









Scalloped suede shorts: Kookai, Jewelery: Gifts and from India, Fringe sandals: Sportsgirl


Its finally spring and all I want to do is wear gladiator sandals, shorts, hacked off tees without tights or sweaters, pile on the jewelery and gamble about at the beaches and the rock faces screaming Yaaaaaay sunshine. Now on to something a little less frivolous the first of the brass cuffs is from Ranjana Association retailing at Oxfam, their brass jewelery made from old Cambodian bomb shells left behind by the Khymer rouge. It such a beautifully made, hand crafted message of peace and starting over that I couldn't help but buy it. I hope everyone is having a wonderful start of the week. Happy Wednesday all!

Block print love








Scallop edge suede shorts: Kookai, Indian Block Print top: Glebe markets, Jewellery: India and Markets, Tooled leather bag: Bondi Markets, Boots: Italian pop-up shop

Another beautiful sunny winter Sunday spent stomping around coastal walks in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. A relaxed day spent watching ice skaters and hitting the markets on the Bondi beach, eating, walking, taking pictures, talking and generally having a great time before the rush of another week filled with work.

Wore this beautiful Indian Block print top with scalloped suede shorts, LOOK no leggings (it was that warm and sunny) plus another pair of comfy leather booties and my usual array of neck bling. My shoulder hurt, probably messed it up sleeping up-side down or something therefore I decided to put all that I wanted to carry into the boy's back-pack but then went to the Bondi Markets and found this Vintage tooled leather beauty.

It was down to $5 and two girls had already snatched it up but then put it back because the metal clasp was broken. The girl selling it wondered if I would still want it, AS IF I'd let a trivial thing like a broken clasp stop me from loving a vintage find. And as soon as I paid I plonked all my things inside, hurt shoulder forgotten felt like the richest girl in the world. And then off we went exploring the brilliant views and bush along the coast. Hope everyone had a great Sunday!
