i love all the interesting walls in my neighbourhood.
yesterday while driving around i spotted this wall, and i loved it.
it's just so fun and fabulous!
it's sort of pattern clashing with the fashion.

the vintage suitcase handbag was the first suitcase i ever bought.
i'm a bit of a suitcase-aholic.

i love all the signage at our local shops.
it's always beautiful, vibrant and ever changing!

black is something every girl needs in her wardrobe and if it's polka dots it's even better!
i love the kitty bow detail on the dress, it's not too short and oh so comfortable.

i always enjoy the mixing of styles and being a bit of a contradiction.

that is why i chose the camo vs the bougainvillea look today.
i love the florals with the strong presence of the camo.

as you can tell by my clothing and shoe choices i am a super bargain hunter!

day two - today i'm wearing

http://www.marieclairvoyant.com/category/fashion/today-im-wearing

the local kaffee is a spot most of the teenagers hang out, i only end up there if i'm craving something!

nothing says summer like a cold coke.

today i was just craving it, and the scenery worked perfect for my outfit.

i'm a big fan of black and white.

and being an addict of lookbook, i have been drooling over the german girls and their awesome style.

they seemed to have influenced my look for the day.

comfort is key for me, and working in an office behind a computer every day means i can dress however i want, as i rarely get to see clients.

i am an absolute sucker for dresses and if it's patterned i'm head over heals!
these 'new' vintage beauties will be hitting the vintage lover store very soon, just in time for the birthday!

i struggle to find vintage shoes that fit me, as i am a size 8.
but i found these beauties and they fit like they were made for me.
i just couldn't wait till autumn to wear them, my office is cold enough for them!

my handbag was a gift from my boyfriend on our trip to Italy last year.
he bought it for me right outside the leaning tower of Pisa.
it will always remind me how much i love him and how sweet he is.

i always have tons of sunglasses as i break mine constantly, so i bought a lot when i was overseas.

i love jewelry and if it's vintage even better!
the watch has been in my family for some time and i was lucky enough to be next in line for ownership.
the stackable rings i bought from muchigaloosh who trades alongside me at markets, find her on facebook.
i love them!
i can't wait to get a few more.

thank you to my boyfriend, Julien Scott, for taking my style photos.
he was just amazing. ♥

lucky me, i got to have another dress featured in this amazing magazine.
