 Nothing is more perfect for the summer heat than silk barely-there clothing.
I've had this Shakuhachi tank hanging in my wardrobe for a while, 
waiting for the perfect summery day to debut it. 
I love the way it flows so seamlessly with these amazing Lover
lace-trimmed cami shorts. I can see myself wearing variations of this
and silk dresses all summer long.

Baby, if I could use photoshop the way I could use MS Word- I would cut and delete you all over. Sorry, you're interrupting my conversation with Mr Teelafone Polle over here. You see, he insists on photobombing in the background- says that he can't help it and that he doesn't understand woman yada ya. He needs to know that there's an incoming storm and he's ruining the view of Mr Storme Claud. It's all that excitement and frisson, you know? 

God I hope you're not rotting your brain from reading the above. I 'stole' this leather jacket from my mum's closet, but considering the times she takes my military jackets- I think we're pretty much on even. Except for the giving birth to me and everything, that's a whole other birkin to worry about. Do you see those shoes? AH-mazing. It's as if the Acne Pistol (which has subsequently been moved down the wish list) went to a bachelor party, got drunk and went to Kings Cross for some ill-fated piercings...and a few tassels. Except that it turned out looking pretty funky and a lot cheaper. 

And if that shoe really went on an adventure, then it had a better weekend than me. And now, isn't that insolvency law case note sad?

i love my ivy walls, evidently.

I'm not quite sure how most bloggers do it, but they always seem to have photos with such nice backgrounds. Granted, blurred out backgrounds but still lovely backgrounds. I have a tendency to lean towards walls or shrubbery but my favourite seems to be ivy covered walls. They have such an old world feel, that transcends the girl posing in front of it. Not that I mind sharing the limelight. Ivy covered walls always remind me of my favourite show as a little girl, Madeline. They provide the perfect backdrop to anything that I'm wearing, giving it that extra touch of class. 

It was a very seasonally cloudy day so obviously it was time to bring out the neon. 

But it's time for me to branch out, no pun intended. Watch this space, you won't see ivy vines in awhile.
