Pink Lady

While pale pink is usually labelled a "girly" colour, these perfect pastel pink pieces definitely had me feeling more woman than girl.

I usually like to go for playful looks, where fun is always number one, but I have to say this figure hugging midi might have set me on a path more babetown than funhouse.

Showing off some bootylicious curves and feeling like a bombshell: A++ feeling, would recommend.

Aside from my obvious obsession with all things pink, this outfit also includes a lovechild of two of my other big obsessions - neoprene and marabou feathers. 

Being an addict for all things a little "out-there", my wardrobe always seems to be lacking basic pieces. I've desperately needed a black bag in my life for a while but had never found one that excited me until now. This fluffy black clutch by Somewhere Nowhere gave me the warm and fuzzies at first sight and it's been love ever since.

Just like I could never settle for a basic black bag, I'm not a boring black heel kind of gal either. My United Nude babies (yes, I refer to my shoes as babies) are the perfect amount of edgy and cray to win my heart, and are about as close as I am willing to get to being a #basicbitch

Seeing Stars

Although I may have taken a short blogging hiatus, my shopping addiction never sleeps. 
Over the past month I've had new purchases arriving at my doorstep almost constantly. There's just so many newbies to love!

If I had to play favourites, the two new purchases in this outfit would be pretty close to the top of my list. A 'basic' top with a little Kenzo inspired edge from Choies, and a pair of seriously bold and equally comfortable shorts by Romance Was Born

I've been a mildly infatuated with these shorts for a while, constantly eyeing them off online, so I went a little loco when I scored them at almost half price at the recent Romance Was Born Brisbane sample sale (along with several other rare goodies)!

I can never go past the signature vibrancy and fun of Romance Was Born prints, and these shorts are twice the fun with their playful culotte-style cut, perfect for spinning!
(obviously an important attribute of all good clothing)
