December 17, 2012...

What a day. The day close family & friends watched  two halves become whole in one of the most beauuuuutiful wedding ceremonies I have had the honor to attend. Rhianon is one of my dearest friends I went to College/Uni with and also holidayed in the States with (Chicago and New York 2011). She's a stunning South African beauty and it shows in the few measly pics I managed to snap on my little point & shoot camera throughout the  ceremony and reception. I apologise for the picture quality but hey sometimes the memories are all you need right? lol. hmmm, yeah I'll keep trying to convince myself of that!

Anywho, sister & I along with my main Jenny met up with Miss Magenta for wedding times in a small Central Coast town called Cessnok. It was a mini reunion for us buzzed by wedding excitement! So many things to catch up on in just a few short hours so we were "blah, blah, blahing" non-stop! The wedding was held at a beautiful winery overlooking vineyards and a sea of lush green property and was small and incredibly intimate. Looking around at the few selected guests there, I felt super special to be included in such a magical afternoon/night.



Beautiful flower girls dressed in crochet tops and bursting tutus :) The crochet headband in her hair was also wrapped around the invitations but in a different colour.  







A special mention to my Miss Magenta up the back there & in her DIY flower headband. Its so frikkin cool!

The first dance to an acoustic version of At Last made famous by none other than the one Etta James. A perfect choice if you ask me!







Lashes- BYS $10, Gloss
Lips- BYS (Risky Business) $3, Gloss

I only managed to get a decent outfit shot on the sister's iphone so when I get my hands on that I'll be sharing that too. I based my look on this boldness of this uhh-mazing dress I found in a Salvo's in Auburn, Syd. I've had it for over a year and had planned to wear it to the Celine Dion concert in Vegas but yeah...WAY to hot for that. Finally I was able to show it off to the world! But yeah more on that later. I just kept my face quite clean and light with just some lashes, a light dusting of bronzer, blush and finishing off the look with a lick of my new lipstick! The new nude range by BYS is lovely! If you've come across it, please tell me what you think ;)

I hope wherever you are your start to 2013 has been super fab so far!

Big love x

Aussie Curves: Mixing Patterns!

Yay! What a fun week! I love mixing patterns...sometimes extremely with one big bold pattern against another which has those who don't understand saying "are you really going to wear that?" to me LOL.  and other times where the patterns are quite low key and blend quietly together!

This week I teamed this fabulous patterned crop jacket I found in a Brooklyn thrift store (that was the MUMMA of all thrift stores, THREE levels of goodness!) with a striped circle skirt. I added the yellow inside shirt for a bit of pop! The outfit has a bit of a 50's look to so up went my hair in a high pony tail!

S/O to our Gabby from NY who was (and yes, I'm sure I've mentioned this before...) THE BEST tour guide for our second round in New York and for taking us to our thrift store Promised Land!! :D



Cropped jacket, thrifted $6/ Yellow cropped collared shirt, thrifted $2/ Striped circle skirt, thrifted $3 MS Opshop/Suede brouges, Rivers $20 

 



 How do you like to mix patterns? What is you logic behind the fun? Please share...
