Weekend wanderings












Dress: Gifted by Daddy dearest, Moccasins: Minnetonka, Silver: Gifted+India, Bag: Vintage from Surry Hills.

An infected tooth with jaw breaking pain, massive dose of antibiotics, a cocktail of painkillers mean that the weekend has to be laid back plus relaxing conducive to a speedy recovery and that's just what the boy arranged for us. I was crabby and reluctant to go anywhere but he took me shopping for potted plants and then to Gordons bay, a beautiful cove that is an aquatic reserve and a popular dive spot with a line of boats rafted up along the top of the beach. It has an amazing underwater nature trail established by the local Scuba diving club that I just got glimpses of through the rocks and the water.

The place itself was beyond amazing but the views on the way were stunning and we spent a beautiful afternoon hanging at the rock pool, collecting little plant cuttings for my garden, spotting crabs, playing plus wrestling for the ball with the funnest dog and sun baking.

It was super warm, our first really summery day of the season and I dressed for comfort in a thin cotton dress, my grey Minnetonkas and less than my usual array of silver. On the way back we gave two travelers a ride and that led to us watching the most spectacular sunset at Shark bay. All in all a wonderful weekend afternoon. Hope you had a beautiful day too whatever you did.

White bird








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!
