Aussie Curves: Orange!

Sunday, sunshine and a birthday breakfast date with the ladies...perfect reason to bust out some orange for Aussie Curves! Introducing our beautiful friends, sisters Anne, Josie & Mauana. Anne and my sister Mele went to College together and now teach at the same school. It was Anne and Josie's birthdays this and last week and mine the week before that so we finally got the chance to get together for a little celebratory feed.
The food was yummy and the conversation was even yummier! Lots of giggles were had! I've said this before I'm sure but there is nothing better than good food teamed with good company...a winning combination.

What I wore:

Purple blazer, $6 Salvos/Orange sheer tunic, Big W $25 last season/ Tube skirt, $5 Kmart/Cuff flats, Big W, $23 three seasons back

                       

Earrings $2, MS Opshop/ Wooden carved ring, $12 Caribbean Markets Melbourne/Shades, gifted from a friend/Handbag, $2 Vinnies :)

L-R: Mauana, Josie, Anne & Mele

Are you an orange fan? I love citrus tones and colours, especially in Spring and Summer! I love this sheer top of mine because of its detailing around the neck line and the length. I loooove long flowy tops as it hides my probplem areas best, haha. My own personal magic trick lol. ;)

I can't wait to check out my fellow Aussie Curves lovelies with their take on "OR-ange" as our fellow Americans would say...haha.

Big Love x

Aussie Curves: SKIRTS!

Hello to all the lovely Aussie Curves ladies and anyone else having a peek at my blog! I hope you have had a weekend that was exactly what you needed whether it be fun, family, friends or just a simple quiet one. My weekend has been busy! We're getting ready to farewell my niece who is heading back to NZ after living with us since July *tear* so the weekend has been jam packed with family, church, cooking (we made a soul food feast of Southern fried chicken, potato salad, slaw, greens and corn bread *droooool* watching The Help the other day brought that on haha), a night out with the girls, everyday errands like grocery shopping and checking out the fresh farmer's markets for vegies and everything else in between.  I'm tired, lol. and all I can say is I'm really glad I had pics ready to roll for this weeks challenge...skirts!!

I looooove skirts! Haven't been much of a pant person for a while but I'm always in skirts or dresses! I got this tube skirt from Kmart at the beginning of the year on sale!! :) I really dig the tribal print and wear this when I'm just running around with stuff to do in town and its a hot day!

I paired my skirt with one of my staple oversized black cotton tops which I also got from Kmart on sale for $5 a while back! I love the tube style skirt as I usually bear my legs because I'm a shorty and wearing 3/4's or maxi's cut my length BUT I still do enjoy a flowing maxi every now and then especially in winter!!





Turban style head wrap/Forever 21 $6, Cotton tee/Kmart $5, Tribal tube skirt/Kmart $5, High-top sneakers- Converse/ Converse outlet store $30, Blue pleather handbag/ Thrifted- RSPCA opshop $3

How do you do skirts?! What's your favourite style and why? If skirts aren't your thing I hope you've at least had a bit of fun strpping outside your comfort zone this week! :)

Stay beautiful ladies and have a smashing week xx



Aussie Curves: Blue Bayou OOTN :)

This is a quick one lovlies due to my ridiculously busy past two weeks aswell as the week I'm in right now!

I wore this "blurple" (blue/purple...yes I may have just made that up haha) blazer type jacket out on our last night in Manhattan! This jacket was actually a long button down dress that just didn't fit so I cropped and hemmed it, turning it into a jacket. I had to do something to it when it wouldn't fit the way it was created because I loved the colour and shoulder detailing on it so MUCH! :)

  paried this with this black, loose-peplum type top from the H&M basics range and a black and white striped tube skirt from K-Mart (last season). For the shoes I wore my SUPER comfy slipper-esqe feeling wedge boots that I found from Rivers on sale for $20 (to all my ladies size 11/12 that find it hard to find comfy shoes, HIT UP RIVERS! Not always my style but every now and then something will pop up that I love!) lol. I wore these because of the comfort factor. I luuuuuuuuuuuuurve to dance when I go out so I must ensure that my feet can handle a long night of stomping! haha :)

Our NYC crew ft. sister, Ruth, Gabby & Candice...Thank you Gabby & Candice for errrrythang! We LOVE you :)

Blue being the topic this week had my music minded brain swirling with all the songs that have blue in it or a blue theme...if you havn't heard this beauuuuutiful song by Aussie Adrian Hood check it out! It's called Brown eyed blues :) It was released as part of the soundtrack to a movie in the US called "Daddy's Little Girls" directed by none other than the uuuh-mazing Tyler Perry.

So ladies, because I love talking music whenever I can...What is YOUR fave blue song?! Please share!!

Love xx
