LBT x 2

I've been seriously bored lately so decided to do something productive yesterday and make these two little black tops. I've had the georgette lying around for centuries now and finally found a use for it!

First I made the plain singlet in a trapeze style and then wanted to do something a little more interesting so I made an exact replica again, spliced it in half and sewed a sheer chiffon panel down the front and back. Voila! I was about to cut off the excess fabric on the panel when I realised it was slightly Dion Lee Line II-esque so I left the dangly, loin-cloth bits alone. I'm really happy with the results and can't wait to give these a workout this summer!

how charming

So many good pieces in Friend of Mine's The Charmers collection. Pretty much want everything.

Massively crushing on Rachel Rutt as well!

HCMC treasures

Thought I would photograph some of the jewellery I brought back from Vietnam recently. Got a little carried away with the mirroring effect as you can see. My favourite piece would have to be the breast plate in the first picture, it's so simple yet can pull an outfit from drab.. to FAB instantly (sorry so cheesy!!). I've never been a big fan of statement jewellery, but Vietnam converted me.

All of the jewellery was from Ho Chi Minh City, some of it came from this cute little store in Vincom shopping centre called Miss Ni (not sure if that's the correct spelling) and some of it from the Ben Thanh markets where there was one tiny stall each for the gold and silver. Desperately wanting to go back to find some more treasure!

Oaks

Went to Oaks Day at Flemington as part of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival last Thursday.

Started with a champagne breakfast, more champagne for lunch and ended with a shoe swap with my best friend (we both wore the same shoe, mine are the blue and hers are the red).

Absolutely exhausting day, but so much fun. Also won a bit of money while I was at it!
