Pink Pom Pom & WIN: Lime Crime Pink Velvet thanks to Makeupnet

 I wore this outfit to VAMFF's Graduate Showcase - photos of which will finally be up on the blog this week. For now I wanted to share with you my super kawaii all pink outfit. So much for being over pink - I don't think that will ever actually happen to be honest, I mean how could it? I bought the Romance Was Born t-shirt earlier this year at the Boxing Day sales at David Jones (FYI it's still on sale). I loved their collaboration with Australian artists Pip & Pop who created the amazing set for their MBFWA runway show last year so owning a piece of that magic collection is a dream come true. The over the top pom pom cardigan was a Tokyo purchase from my last visit back. I got it at 'it' shop Bubbles in Harajuku but sadly the pom poms all started to fall off on my first wear - luckily this happened in very friendly Tokyo where I had people running after me pom pom in hand after seeing it fall off - this happened at the train station, at a cafe and on the street. Anyway Henry offered to sew them on more securely for me and now they should last, just not sure how to wash it?

So many pom poms! Gotta love it.

I bought these Karen Walker Helter Skelter sunglasses on a buy and sell facebook page but am a little unsure if they suit me. It's kinda too late to on sell them though as I already had my prescription put in, although I did keep the original lenses. My favourite Karen Walker Orbit's have proved to be impossible to get my prescription lenses in because of the unusual metal pieces around frame. Not sure what to do, let me know what you think in the comments.

I'm so happy I splurged whilst in Tokyo on this great unicorn necklace by my friend Mademoiselle Yulia's label Giza.

This bag is another Boxing Day sale buy from earlier this year. No idea why it's taken me so long to blog it as I wear it so often.

I've been a bit lost style wise of late. I'm kinda over pink but also still totally in love with the colour which I know makes no sense whatsoever. So I'm just going to roll with it and when I'm in a pink mood go all out. I guess that is what this outfit is, I was in an all out pink mood but perhaps it will be the last of my all pink super kawaii looks? Still deciding on that.

OMG I got a haircut! I've gone back to having a fringe and I LOVE it. It does make taking outfit photos that little bit harder when there is even the smallest gust of wind. I hate having a 'piecey' fringe - bits flying all over the place.

Sunflowers

I've been in love with Gorman this season, I think I've said it before on here and I know I've expressed it on my twitter and instagram accounts numerous times, but seriously, they're doing something right this spring/summer. FYI this is in no way, shape or form a sponsored post - I do just really love the label, and have since their inception. This dress is a recent-ish buy from their Boxing Day sale and it gets me so many complements. The contrasting side panels help to define my waist - it's like a magic trick, honestly! I also am in love with the zig zag patten on the bottom and the sleeves. Essentially I just love this dress!

I wore it to check out artist Ben Morrison's field of Sunflowers in industrial North Melbourne. The artist saw that this industrial block next to the train line wasn't being used and was just accumulating weeds and rubbish so got permission from the owners to beautify it. And it really is beautiful, especially during 'golden hour' (just before sunset) which just so happened to be when we visited. The sunflower field can be accessed from Macaulay Station on the Upfield Line, just walk beside the train tracks under the freeway overpass to the location on this map. The flowers should be in bloom for another two weeks or so. Just watch out for the bees!

My friend Laurie and I look a little stressed out here because there were many many bees, but we had to get the perfect shot y'all!

My bright yellow shellac manicure matched the sunflowers perfectly.

Bangle Tsumori Chisato

Hot tip! Don't wear heels or platform shoes if you go to check it out. The path leading to the field is treacherous and rocky, just like in this photo, and I almost fell on my ass numerous times. But my shoes are so pretty guys!

This necklace was a Christmas present from my sister, I do love me some fruit accessories.

This bag was a gift from Brandon of Lactose Intoler-Art whilst I was over in Tokyo. I love it as it reminds me of him when I wear it, missing you Brandon xoxo

A rare smile from me in front of the camera. I just have 'in front of camera bitch face' no matter what I do.
