This year / 2013

posted on: December 31, 2023

I can’t believe how fast this year has come to pass.. well maybe I can. I think the perception of how long a year is relative to the total amount of time you’ve been alive. A 5 year old waiting for his next birthday, for example, a year must seem like the longest: 20% of his entire lifetime. At 32, a year is approximately 3% - relatively small amount of time in comparison. Does this mean that the years will come to pass even quicker as we age? Maybe just the perception of it, because as we all know time is a constant.. anyway..

2013 has been another amazing year for me, partly due to this blog. It’s nice having a creative outlet to share my outfits and inspirations, and constantly having the opportunity to learn and discover new ideas, trends and brands, and for W and I having reasons to shoot more often and improve our photography despite not being able to travel as much as we’d like this year - and not to mention all the the lovely people I’ve met because of it. So thank YOU for a wonderful year!

Here are some of my favourite outfits from this year. Do you have a particular favourite?

Friday Five: Summer Essentials

Friday Five: Summer Essentials

A few essentials for the Australian Summer..

1. LACK OF COLOR The Mirage fedora / The ultimate classic felt fedora. I’ve been wanting one for ages, and my straw fedora that was a similar colourway has just been crushed beyond recognition. Is that a sign or what?

2. TOM FORD Carrie sunnies at Vision Direct / Oversized sunnies are great for keeping the sun out of your eyes and half your face. Love these oversized round ones by Tom Ford - the gold details strike a perfect balance between classic and modern, with just the right amount of glamour. This + hat + sunscreen = minimal sun damage!

3. SHISEIDO Urban Environment Sunscreen / This really should be my #1 essential. I never ever leave home without sunscreen, if I do I’ve probably run out and am on my way to buy some! Over the years I’ve used a really broad range of brands but I love this broad spectrum one that is not currently yet available in Asia Pacific (it’s available online here). It has a great non-greasy formulation and also doubles as a primer.

4. ZIMMERMANN Instinct dress / I love lazy dressing so I rely a lot on basics with detail. This light jersey dress is perfect for throwing on over your swimmers, but also good enough to wear on it’s own.

5. DION LEE Purity Bikini (also available in black) / Love at first sight! I’m currently trying hard to justify the acquisition of this Summer must-have (I have about 15 pairs of swimwear already!). The architectural structure of this neoprene bikini is such an eye catcher. I bet it looks good thrown over a dress / worn over a shirt too.

True blue

Birkenstock Arizona Black

Happy Christmas! These are probably the most colourful set of photos I’ve ever posted on my blog - I thought it was appropriately festive given the occasion! By the time you read this post I’m probably in a post-dinner daze half-passed out on the sofa somewhere. Hope your Christmas is going great!

It probably wasn’t evident the last time I wore this dress that the armholes run this low - but I really love this simple jersey dress for being so easy to wear in warm weather over a pretty triangle bra and a pair of comfortable sandals. I think I need more t-shirt dresses in my life. Bonus that it goes so well with my fave bag of the moment.. I’m really quite obsessed with this shade of blue.
