Sporty Luxe at the Garage

I was browsing through Witchery's website today crossing fingers and toes that they would have their 'European Luxe' black jeans because everywhere I have been looking either doesn't have my size or has sold out completely.  They are great priced ($99.99) and are higher waisted then usual jeans which makes me feel more comfortable - hiding the lumps and bumps that pop out in the low rise jeans.  Also they make your legs looks Amazonial (yes, I just made that word up!) - long and lean.

So I was unsuccessful in finding the jeans  - Might be a successful search on Ebay.  BUT I was successful for finding inspiration for my outfit for todays events.  I stumbled across Witchery's blog and their post entitled: 'Trend Edit: Sports Luxe'.  I'm always one for trying new trends.  As I said in my 'Everyone do the dinosaur - Ganthuaume Point' Here - I usually dress like a 5 year old motorway tomboy - Printed shirts, ripped denim shorts, mullet hairstyles (not really!), but you get my jist.  Depending on the event I like to dress accordingly and different each day.  AH! I'm getting off topic. 

Anyway, browsing I came across the 'Sports Luxe' post and I figure this style puts together my tomboy/sporty persona with my girly, tailored and structured side and I love it.  This picture in particular caught my attention

So I raided my closet and here's my outfit for the day.  I have to apologise for the location for the shoot.  It's in our garage. HA!  It isn't the most creative... but in my defence it's raining and gross in Perth at the moment and I was worried I was going to get rained out if I ventured out for better locations.  So I decided it's going to be a grungy garage sporty luxe shoot.

Knitwit - Starring Lucy the Toy Poodle

Today marks the day that I became a potential full-time Nanna.  Not only do I now wear and adore nanna knits.  Not only did I stay in last Saturday night with a good book and a cup of tea.  Oh no, now you are looking at a nanna knitter in the making.  Today I had a bit of Nanna and granddaughter day which is what everyone girl needs in their life sometimes, and I have been begging her lately to teach me how to knit.  She makes the most amazing knit wear - My goal for next post is to incorporate a few of her famous knitted pieces she has made me throughout the years (I am actually wearing my most favourite knit jacket she made as I type!).  She explained to me that when she was a girl knitting, sewing, cooking and laundry were core subjects that everyone needed to learned (even the guys!).  Knitting and sewing seems to be such a dying art form, and I would love for the tradition to be passed onto my kids, and their kids.  I mean we'll see how the knitting goes, I'm not expecting miracles but I'm giving it a good go :)
It took me so long to decide what to wear today.  Perth's weather has been pretty all over the joint, so I originally started in denim shorts and a button up shirt and boots.  But I decided I was going to freeze my buttons off so I got into my favourite trusty jeans and was on my way :)

I am wearing: Target heels / Nobody jeans / Kookai singlet / Dotti Fur snood / Sportsgirl hat / Ltd edition Tension Gold watch / OPI nailpolish

Does anyone else knit!?

annnnddd.. I'm back.

I have been M.I.A lately with some recent events, buuutt with Perth Fashion Festival coming up how could I resist a good blog posting.  I have missed the world of Blogger and especially checking up what all you fabulous people have been up to! 

At the moment I am in a bit of a rut.  As a child I thought I had my life sorted - Represent Australia/Olympics/World championships and the lot, work in the sporting industry, find a man, get married, etc, etc.  As it seems that hasn't worked out as originally planned so far and I thought I had come to terms with that and that I would ride the wave as it comes. 

However, lately my brain has taken over and I haven't been feeling like myself.  I am second guessing everything I am doing, I am telling myself that I should have figured it all out by now but then I realised that I am only 23 and maybe I am trying to rush things and rush life and I really shouldn't be.

Well I'm getting back on track now.  I am totally in love with fashion and experimenting with different looks which was never in the plan when I was growing up.  And I am totally in love with photography and travelling which also was never a front runner in my favourite hobbies.  I guess keeping an open mind is the key to living and full filling life to the maximum and that's what life is about right?

Feeling good - Zimmermann Strapless Drape Dress/Peter Morrissey Strap shoes/Willie Creek Pendant necklace

Having a Croc of a time at Matso's Brewery

Asking the locals places to see in Broome, Matso's Brewery was a popular suggestion so we decided to check it out and taste some local beer, ciders and have a bite to eat before braving the Malcolm Douglas Wildlife and Crocodile Park.  We were give a free coupon for testers with our camel ride so we decided to take advantage and find out favour drop to tantalize our taste buds and warm out bellies (and hearts too!).  Within our tasters my favourite by far was the ginger beer, closely followed by the Mango infused beer.  We also had a mango cider, and it was refreshing and tasty.  Kamahli and I shared a mixed plate of Turkish Bread, homemade garlic hummus (which was amazing), smoked kangaroo meat, honey ham and mussels.  The entire place had a friendly vibe, and the staff ensured you were looked after and of course had a full drink at all times! 

OUTFIT: Minkpink 'Hakuna Matata' muscle tank / Sportsgirl straw hat / Tensity limited edition broken heart faced goldern watch / Dotti Sunglasses

Then it was onto the Wildlife and Crocodile Park just outside of the Broome town centre.  It was established by Malcolm Douglas; an iconic croc/animal enthusiast.  As a little girl, I remember travelling up to Broome from Karratha and the crocodile park sticks in my memory as one of my favourite places.  With the passing of Douglas in 2010, the crocodile park I remembered has been moved and the park now has over 5000 crocodiles and alligators, as well as wallabies, Kangaroo's, dingoes and other Australia Wildlife.  It is very informative and a popular tourist destination.  Make sure you get there for the feedings and information sessions!!

OUTFIT: Broome Salvo thrifted 'Wolf' top $7!! / Hurley tattered shorts / Myers Sunglasses / Target Sandals / Sportsgirl Straw hat

Remembering the good times and producing the awesome times to remember. My favourite times :)

Brotime - Last day before my 2 week trip!

/ Dotti Sunglasses / Kookai Singlet / Cotton on Skirt / Novo Sandals /

So I am a little bit behind on the blog, we have just gotten up to Broome for our two week road trip holiday!!!  It's exciting but I'm a little bit out of my comfort zone driving a big van and trying not to hit anything!!!  Lots of photos and blog posts to come!  (we went on Camels today!!!)

So this post is from my last day in Perth with my family.  We went to Hillary's Boat Harbour, a beautiful spot surrounded by calm waters and plenty of activities to do.  For Lunch we went to Little Caesar's, a popular pizza place located in Hillary's and Leederville also.  Always hard to get a table, always so worth it!!!

Ill make this short and sweet, but stay tuned for plenty more posts of our adventure from Broome to Perth in 14 days!!

Dim Sum and Pork Bun

 

Hong Kong Dim Sum Trolley - 123 James Street, Northbridge.

 

Last night I caught up with a friend who is leaving for the Big Apple the same day I fly to Broome, so big travels all around.  I had a hankering for Dim Sum and Pork bun, and I guess it was a little more sentimental for us as friends.  One of my favourite trips in Australia was a trip in 2010 when we went for a girls trip to Melbourne: shopped, got lost, ate copious amounts of Max Brenner, and lived - not even over exaggerating, on Dim Sum and Pork bun.  I originally wanted to go to another place, but they didnt serve pork bun for dinner, and that's exactly what I was craving!!  So we wondered to this crazy open food hall in Northbridge (and clutched our purses tightly :P), and found the 'Hong Kong Dim Sum Trolley' in the 'Old Shanghai Food Court'. PERFECT.  The food was deliscious, and fairly well priced. 

 

I had:

BBQ Pork Bun $5

Prawn and spinach Dumplings $4

Spring rolls $4

 

WHY GO THERE: Even though Northbridge has a stigma for being dodgy, it makes me angry.  It's in a pretty prime position and they have a lot of yummy food.  The food is cheap, quick and tasty. 

WHY NOT TO GO: Parking can be tricky and northbridge can be quite dodgy sometimes.

RATING: for a funky open Food Court, we muchly enjoyed it and it seemed to be quite popular.  Id give it a 7/10.
