Skirts? Shorts? SKORTS!

Dear Lovelies,

I'd seen this beautiful thing on so many German blogs a few months ago when spring hit the European fashion scene. Being on the other side of the planet however, meant that Zara obviously focused on stocking warm and wooly things.
When the spring collection finally hit Australia, I was the first through the door. I went into the changing room with every single colour of these "things" available and when the shop assistant asked me "How did you go with the skorts?" I didnt even realise she meant me... What did she just say? Skorts? What the hell is that? My beautiful thing all the sudden had a name. It's not a skirt and not shorts, it's something in between. SKORTS!
Unfortunately I've been busy working and catching up with Game of Thrones, which meant my skorts had to live in the drawer a bit before I had the chance to take these photos.
I love them, there's endless possibilities to combine them! Here's one suggestion. Enjoy!

With Love,

Stripey Pants and Mint

Dear Lovelies,

You can clearly see I can't get enough of black and white clothes. I love my stripey skirt *here just as much as I love my stripey pants.

I'm sorry if the photos appear to be a little blurry - this is the beautiful Australian winter sun shining brightly onto me :-)

With Love,

Pastels

Dear Lovelies,

We're still in the middle of winter but this winter I wanted to escape the common winter blues and match my clothes according to my new lifestyle feeling. The super-mild Australian winter (23 degrees today and sunny!) made me leave my greys and blacks in the closet and dress in pastel colours.

Once you figured out what your skin tone is you can easily pick the right pieces/colours which will make you look vibrant. In my case my skin tone requests cooler colours, colours that have a tinge of blue in them, so I chose a mixture of light blue (that's the most obvious cold colour containing blue, haha), mint, pastel pink and a lippy in cherry red.

Now that I look at my photos I would say it's also a pretty good outfit for wearing in the office on Casual Friday, don't you think??

Handmade Jewellery by Butter & Scotch

Dear Lovelies,

l've been following Christy from Butter & Scotch for a while now on lnstagram and always liked her sense for quality and clean designs. She makes beautiful classy necklaces and bracelets in silver and gold, using fine details and often Swarovski elements which add beautifully to your Arm Candy collection.

But she also has a more playful side, so when I saw this little fire stone elephant bracelet in her second shop on Etsy -PetitBijouxBoutique- I immediately fell in love.
So please have a look at her etsy site: http://www.etsy.com/shop/PetitBijouxBoutique
