A random post!

R a n d o m I n s p i r a t i o n

Hello everyone. Just a little post to show you what the non HSC polluted sector of my brain is being inspired by right now.
I spent the last weekend with the Secret Squirrel gang at Sydney's Finders Keepers markets in Sydney. The markets were so pretty! All the stalls had some association with Frankie magazine, so of course they were lovely in a crafty,quirky,pastel-ey way! Simmilar to what I'm being inspired by now...hmmm... I'm hoping to apply such inspiration to the styling of my new room--hopefully I will have a fully functioning room within the month (fingers crossed!)
Au revoir!

On the weekend, I finally bought what has been haunting my mind ever since the start of summer last year! I don't really know what to call them...wooden sandals? I just love them. They are just perfect! They are from this Swedish homewears/fashion shop called Funkis. Luckily they have a few stockists in Sydney so I was able to get them! When I got home from buying them, I showed my dad to which he said (in his famous Swedish accent) "You know Loran, your grandmother in Sweden has those exact same ones. Are they Funkis? She wears them all the time- they are such old lady shoes"
Then call me an old lady, I say! I look so forward to wearing them with lots of chambray and white and tights and socks!
H0pefully the purchase of my new favourite shoes will subside all the sandal/clog talk on the blog for a while!

In other news::: I have gotten a few lovelies in the past couple of days- an amazing fashion week!! I got my favourite chambray Secret Squirrel dress, and a that leopard print cardigan from Cotton On that one of my readers so nicely suggested to me!
Pictures later!

au revoir ♥

Inspiration!

I wish my Autumn and Winter to look just like this!

Ever since I saw that Alexander Wang collection a while ago I have been obsessed with long side braids! Unfortunately, whenever I try that look the braid falls apart in about 1000 different ways which is rather annoying. I can't help being inspired by pretty pictures like these!

T o d a y !

Today was a nice, chilled day. It was a proper Autumn day, and it was also the first time in a long time that I was able to crack out my old favourite striped top. I got a little inspired by the above images, and the fact that yesterday I tried on a nice little blue striped dress that I think I shall buy at a later date. I was also inspired today by the below hairstyle- I used to wear my hair in a high bun all the time!
I'm sorry for my lack of posting, I hope soon that my house will stop being renovated, and I can have a lovely new room to show you---I've collected all these pictures of amazing rooms, I think I may do a blog on it! I also want to blog about some of the amazing things I have gotten of late. The other day I bought a lovely long sleeved, white polka dot dress, a la, Tennessee Thomas and I got a wonderful Secret Squirrel navy peacoat!

twentysevennames

New Zealand label Twenty Seven Names' new collection "T W E L V E " has left me awestruck.

I love, love, love it! I love the wearability of it all, I know I would wear every single outfit here.
I also love the styling. The makeup is impeccable, and the hair! ah! In the video, check out the girl in the white dress in the front with the extremely long, blonde hair....dream hair right there!
I like the tough creeper-ish shoes with the socks, but is it just me or does it make MODELS look short? I don't think that's a combo I'll be trying anytime soon, but I love the concept of pairing girly, feminine cut clothes with masculine shoes and socks!The film is a short stop-motion film of the collection, I love how Twenty Seven Names has lookbooks with multiple girls, I just think it shows the unity and wearability of the collection more.

au revoir!

Hairspiration no.2

H a i r - s p i r a t i o n !

I am sorry about the lackluster posts recently, year twelve is eating up alllll my time, let alone my ability to be inspired. My only solace is that come November, I will have a few free months to paint my nails; make clothes; dye my hair ( I don't know what colour); wear whatever I want every day; sleep in; make flower crowns; go camping in some beautiful wilderness; take lots and lots of photos; and do proper outfit posts!

But...for today, a little hairspiration! Some pretty hair to aspire having always makes me happy...hope it makes you happy too!
