key lime











Staying true to my vow to take a more colourful approach to winter wardrobe, here's some pics of my latest Asos purchase. I had been deliberating over this one for so long, leaving in my saved items for what felt like a century, that when it miraculously went on sale I almost cried. Not that it was expensive to start with, but that was just the thing to push me into it. This shirt is definitely not the same colour in the pics on the website.. a lot more blue-green than citrusy, but I am definitely not regretful. It is the loveliest silk, just the right weight, softness and transparency you need in a silk shirt. The watercolour effect is kind of strange, but gives this shirt character that means it will lift any outfit out of banality.
The shoes are another newbie from Siren. They were heavily discounted (still on sale at the moment) and I was seriously in need of a proper 'grown up' heel so these seemed like just the ticket; super simple with the sweetest little ankle strap. As you can see it was seriously windy today so taking photos was a big struggle. I didn't have a lot to choose from as most of the pics were affected by a little blurring and a lot of hair-in-faceing! I ended up doing a couple of indoor close ups which turned out a lot clearer (not to mention warmer). I think I'll have to do a whole lot more indoor posts if this chilly wind keeps up.

the metallic shoe








I can't get enough of metallics at the moment, especially in shoe form. I think the hardest thing is making a shiny shoe not look tacky, there are so many seriously offensive ones out there that I've gone and hunted down some of my favourite examples of designs that just work! Paired with simple black or minimalist white and a touch of colour, they are the perfect tool to spruce up a boring outfit.

sketches





Here's a few sketches I've been working on in my 'spare time', i.e when I can't bring myself to look at a damned computer screen anymore. I very rarely sketch any of my designs before I sew anymore, in this case I've reversed the process and drawn my taffeta blazer after I finished it (albeit much more precise than it is in real life!). I used to love drawing, but it seems the digital age has stifled my freehand. Sad really, I must make an effort to dedicate some time to drawing in the future, for it's therapeutic benefits if nothing else.

new shoooz




 My Asos shoezies arrived this morning!! Love waking up to a package on the doorstep!
They are delightfully sweet shoes, a little on the big side (I'm an Aust size 7 and got a UK 6, which has never failed me before), but they kind of gape around the ankles and will definitely need some serious wearing in so they don't rip me to shreds. Still, on the whole I'm very pleased with this purchase!
