Aussie Curves: Feminine...

Hello beautiful AC readers! Hope you're all having a splendid week! This week has been so BUSY in my household packing and organising for New York AND prepping for my nieces Year 12 Formal which she is hopefully having a ball at right now! Somehow I managed to snap these shots on the weekend and I'm finally getting 3 minutes to quickly post this up! PHEW!

What I'm wearing:

• Blue blazer- thrifted, $3.
• Pattern skirt- made by sister Falala Mele
• Wedges- Target, $15

This honestly isn't my most fem moment but this is what I felt like wearing this week. To keep it short and sweet click here for one of my most fave & feminine looks ever! 

Well wishes from Mildura,

Big Love xx

4th of July, 2012!

There are just 10 teeeeeeeny sleeps until we leave the cold of Australia and return to the amazingness that is New York City for the THIRD time! I seriously can't believe I have been twice already let alone preparing for the third trip. I feel quite snooty actually when I tell people that I have been twice before but trust me when I say that E.V.E.R.Y spare penny goes in to the savings account to get me there, lol. This year we are super excited to be attending some Full Figured Fashion events as well as seeing our beautiful New Yorker friends!

This has me remincing about last year's trip and about how much I haven't blogged about it! Sooooooo say hello to my 4th of July afternoon at the African Arts Festival in Brooklyn!

It was soooooo hot in the afternoon as we made our way to Brooklyn on the subway. We were greeted by our fab Trinni sissy Candice who had a cab waiting and then headed to the festival. Cue a sea of vibrant colours, fly, organic style, delicious food, live music, giant lemonades and intense heat! It was the most amazing sight! The eyeballs went gaga. We were invited by our newly found sisters Gabby and Candice to go watch Gabby dance at the festival and so glad we were...it was a complete visual treat and we loved every minute. Here, have a look...

What I wore:

• Floral blazer did NOT last long in the heat)- thrifted, $3
• Oversized black cotton top- Kmart $5
• Blue tube skirt- Kmart $10
• Beach comber canvas shoes- thrifted, $5
• Clip on earrings- thrifted $3

10 sleeps, 10 sleeps, 10 sleeps...

I can't wait!

Big love xx

I love this green blazer...it seriously makes my LIFE and fits like a dream! This was the first time out for a spin for these heels. I usually only ever wear wedges because for me comfort trumps just about everything but today I though a little extra green couldn't hurt!

I can't wait to see how you ladies rocked one of my fave colours! I'm off to do the rounds...

Big Love xx

Almost made it...

Woo hoo! I'm back in the game...JUST! Phew, I seriously suck at this "be prepared and organised" thing. Any who, this look was thrown together in literally 10 minutes! Like my sister Falala Mele mentioned, we were running super late for church after hitting the gym for a morning boxing session and so I was running around like a mad woman grabbing this and that. My go to when I need to be out of the house in 10 or 15 minutes is a pair of tights and an oversized blouse and a jacket of some sort if its a bit fresh! Even my hairdo is a time saver style I use all the time lol. Slick one side with a bit of hairspray and let the other non-brushed or styled part hang loose and have a party. Sunglasses are always on hand, especially when there is little or no time for makeup. Here is what I wore:

Necklace: Sportsgirl $4/ Pearl ring: Purchased in Broom, WA borrowed from sister's closet/ BYS Matte Lipstick in Brown Sugar: $5

 

Sheer blouse: Supre $15 last season/ Blazer: Second hand from my uncle's wrdrobe/ Leggings: Kmart $7.50/ Nude Brouge Shoes: $40 Rivers, this season/ Sunglasses: $5 from a New York souveniere store, borrowed from sister's closet.

 

 

Yep, I almost...kinda ALMOST made the Aussie Curves cut off time for the Time Saver challenge but you know what they say..."close but no cigar!" I laugh at myself when I think I'm totally prepared or when I tell myself "this week you're gonna do it on time woman" and then I totally don't. This is a prime example of what my poor blogger life is like constantly. Luckily my organisational & time management skills are fantastic professionally or I would have HEAPS of free time to blog about everything I have no time to blog about because work sucks the time out of my life! LOL.

 

The End.

What I've been wearing...IG style.

I  signed up to IG and so began the spiral of me not posting here on my blog and not feeling so bad about it because I was still getting OOTD posts up right? Yeah, that's what I told myself but who was I kidding...I do love Instagram though and well here's simply a post of what I've been wearing IG style. Follow me @sikilou :) Please excuse the photo quality and get your scrolling finger ready...
