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!?

Everyone do the Dinosaur - Gantheaume Point

Gantheaume Point is a nice scenic point in its own right, with a lighthouse, red cliffs and a great view back over Cable Beach. Not to mention its castings of dinosaur footprints.  We also took some shots of my new favourite shirt (it has been described as a 5 year old motorway boys style - but I love it!).  I picked it up from the Broome Salvo's for $7! Bargain

 

OUTFIT: Sportgirl straw hat / Ray Ban mirror sunglasses / Op shop Wolve tee / Princess Polly 'One Love' ripped shorts / Target boots

Broome Dreaming Part 1 (My humps, my humps, my humps, my humps)

My two week holiday has come to an end.. and I finally have some solid Internet back (Dodgy and lack of Internet can be blamed for no posts!).  I have always loved the Kimberley and the Pilbara having lived there when I was in primary school.  I remember frequenting Broome and Coral Bay, and becoming addicted to the sun and the ocean.  Maybe this is where my constant need for travel stemmed from? 

Broome is a bit of everything I love - It's chilled, it's mostly hot and sunny (apparently it has had more rainfall then the wet season as of late!) , it has friendly people and is surrounded by the beach.  Perfecto.  We stayed at the 'Beaches of Broome' a well known backpackers that felt more like a hotel rather then a hostel.  The cleanliness was amazing and the outdoor pool was defiantly a bonus.

Our first activity was the all so touristy camel riding along Cable Beach.  My outfit needed to be comfy, and I kind of felt that I needed to wear something along the lines of 'Arabian nights' since we were riding a camel and all!!

OUTFIT: Dotti 'Social Butterfly' muscle tank / Finders Keepers Harlem Pants / Sportsgirl 'Electra' Sunglasses

 

 

 

 Keep tuned for the rest of the trip!  And get out there and see the world.

It's pretty amazing :)
