The Picnic

There is nothing better on a beautiful summer's day than having a fantastic picnic. So that's exactly what we did! I went to the Botanic Gardens in Manurewa with my picnic and my picnic attire and it was so much fun! This turquoise blue is such a beautiful colour and one of my favourites for my skin tone. Being a 'winter' the jewel colours suit me so well, and this blue is right on point. I had been saving this jewellery for the right outfit, and since this set reminds me so much of Swarvoski's pieces, it's one of my favourites. I like to keep my colour palettes really tight, focusing on only one colour with a highlight of either white or black - but never both! A girl's outfit can never be complete without one piece of super feminine accessory, and my vast collection of bows always has be sorted! Catching the last of the sun's light in the golden hour, I loved everything about this shoot right down to the last cupcake. ♥

Cinderella

Like most other girls who grew up in the 90s, I am a big fan of Disney. Of course, I think there is an elegance that the original design of Cinderella's dress is difficult to copy, so I went with my own version. It was either white gloves or a shawl with this dress, and gloves are always so classy. You can find cheap ones from $2 stores, or better ones from Smith & Caughey's. This outfit is a little cute but still elegant, and was put together with a mixture of store and found items. The dress was originally faulty, so I fixed it up for the outfit with a brooch. The shoes are old school Hannah's shoes, I wore them to my high-school ball. (Still going strong) This outfit is definitely great inspiration for a Cinderella inspired costume, I just need the perfect excuse to wear it. ♥

The Secret Garden

Keeping too many clothes in your closet is a serious struggle. On one hand, you want the options but on the other, you just can't fit everything! I am so glad my mum kept her dress she had custom made for her, because it makes the perfect outfit for a walk in the garden. The cotton of this dress is super comfy for summer too. I had the perfect jewels to match and accessorised it with a big floppy white hat that I bought from a $2 store, with ribbons I attached. Gotta slip, slop, slap! My shoes are probably the most exciting part of this outfit. I have an obsession for rainbow coloured objects. Plus they are super comfy! I made a cute little mood board to finish, complete with stationary and accessories ♥

The Blue Overalls

This was the last shoot for summer, and although I am sad that we are going into the dark cold days of winter, there will also be some beautiful light to work with as the days get cooler. I had to take advantage of the amazing long grass on this random patch of farmland near my house, at sunset the light it just amazing! These overalls are from Volcom, one of my favourite surf brands. I love this outfit for a party or an afternoon at the beach. This time I decided to keep it casual and just wear my chucks. Who can deny that chucks are pretty much timeless?

Opshop Shopping

So I went opshop shopping actually not intentionally, it was for a fancy dress party. I found this cute little cardigan for $10 at Savemart in New Lynn!

 I thought the pearls around the edge were really sweet, they have just been sewn in individually along the neckline, and the rest is pretty standard. Plus it's super warm and fluffy. Here's a sketch for how I envisioned it to be worn.

I love feminine pieces ♥
