That "Ao Dai"











Xin chao toi rat thich! (Hello my loves in English!)

I thought I'd just show you my very own traditional Vietnamese dress, uniquely hand made that is delicately painted on of cherry blossoms that I wore to my brother's wedding a month ago. It's quite interesting to put on actually, as it is sewn with multiple buttons and hooks along the right side of the chiffon dress. So that was difficult to put this on by myself and since I did this photo shoot with two of my close men, well....one of them had to button me up. So thanks to Gian, I appreciate it muchly.

OOTD: Plain Old Crotchet





What I'm wearing:
Jumper: Zara
High waisted skirt: Cotton On
Leather boots: Singaporean Boutique

Hola! A short, quick post on an outfit I chucked together whilst taking my tourist Uncle to the Three Sisters, Blue Mountains. For non Sydney siders, the weather there is fairly cold obviously due to the ridiculous amounts of hills, mountains and trees. I really adore this outfit because it's so simple, using such a solid colour as black with the crotchet roses on the Zara jumper adding simplicity and texture. This therefore turns this black filled outfit from being plain to something that catches the human eye. The crotchet becomes the centre of attention. And I definitely love that fact about what I'm wearing.

Stay posted for more OOTD posts to come!
