we won't run, we won't run.

For the past few weeks all I have wanted to do is get all cozy in my winter layers, rug up and drink hot tea, because the weather has been nothing but drab. However, the weather over the long weekend had other plans for how I dressed. It was such amazing weather!! This is one of the things I picked up from the markets yesterday. HOW RAD ARE MY NEW VINTAGE SWIMMERS? At only $10 - I would have been one silly girl not to buy them.

The cut is super cute. A little bit higher than my other swimmers and I think I'll be prone to wedgies when I wear them but all that is forgiven as I love the little fine string detailing on the side and the colourful pattern (which sort of looks like something my five year old niece would paint).

I was worried taking photos in a bikini on a beach would end up looking a little too cliched/ mens magazine-ish. But, thank god I was in good hands and they turned out awesome (thanks to J). It was kind of a last minute decision to hop in the car and shoot these, but I am so glad we did as the sunset was stunning. One of the best I have seen in a long time!

So as my brain has switched into winter mode, hopefully summer had finally done it's dash because I really want to continue to rug up and sip on hot tea. I think I am finally ready to pack my denim cut offs away and shop for some winter goods.

What I am wearing:

Knit- Wrangler

Shorts- I. D. S

Leather- Alice In The Eve

Aviators- Ray-Ban

Shoes- Pulp

Bag- Markets

Rings- Markets

Necklace- Karen Walker

Watch- Nixon

This has to be one of the most comfortable outfits I own. I am loving knits with a bright/ fluorescent bra worn under them at the moment. It adds a little something to the outfit. The photos don't really pick up on the bra sorry. I also love my little rust shorts! For two reasons actually! 1) Loving this dominant autumn colour 2) They give the illusion of being a pleated skirt as the pleats are so close together.

I wore this on our last day in Sydney. We were walking around Paddington when we stumbled across this little alley (so did a homeless man). How cute are the frames hanging on the exposed brick? I couldn't resist whipping out the camera for a quick photo or six. Ha ha. We bought a camera bag just before we left, so now it's easier to take it everywhere. Before we we just wrapping it in a cloth bag and put it in my handbag and it didn't feel all that safe.

I was pretty excited seeing a little print of Max on the wall as well. Where The Wild Things Are was my favourite book as a child and I adore the movie too. Have you listened to the sound track from the movie? It was produced by Karen O, and is seriously amazing. If you haven't already download the soundtrack to WTWTA, your life will be changed.

PS: Seriously digging my YSL lippy. Can not get enough of it.
