Milsons Point & Outfit

On Saturday my husband and I went for a walk around Milsons Point which, in my opinion, is right at the top when it comes to the most beautiful suburbs in Sydney. In fact I often go for walks here at lunch time during the working week. It's quite rare for us to go out on Saturdays, especially anywhere this far from where we live, since I am usually too tired from the week at work to do anything but stay at home. The waterside is so pretty. There are some even better locations for photos than this but there was a couple getting married at Luna Park so they occupied all the best locations. I've added a few photos of the area which I've managed to take on other days too.











In terms of my outfit, I am wearing a dress from the Innocence Collection by Kitten D'Amour. It's slightly different to my usual style given that it's much less colourful than my other dresses; prior to this piece I only owned one other piece which was entirely white. But the peter pan collar, the floral detailing, and the fact that the dress was less expensive than most pieces from Kitten D'Amour, was enough to convince me to buy it. I'm now very pleased that I did. It must be a big change because when I wore this to work, I received endless comments wondering where all the colour in my outfit had gone. The red belt, also from Kitten D'Amour, adds a lot to the look. I adore the combination of red and white, and I can never have enough bows. Like I mentioned in one of my recent outfit posts, I wish I had this belt in every colour. These bow belts literally look good with any outfit. I have this bow belt in both red and white, and I'm pretty sure it comes in black and blue also.  My double bow flats from Wittner were an obvious choice to complement the look. I have had these shoes for so many years now and posted them on my blog more times than I can remember. These are without a doubt my most worn shoes out of my entire shoe collection. I often find that with Wittner shoes;  they are extremely reliable, I never lose my love for them and I just wear them for much longer than I do with any of my other shoes.

Rainbow Tag

Hi everyone, it's time for another video! This time I am filming the rainbow tag which has become quite a popular video on youtube over time. In case you don't know, the rainbow tag is where you select a favourite product in each colour of the rainbow and talk about the benefits and generally share the product with everyone out there on the Internet. I've only ever seen this tag done with beauty products but it would be fun to film the rainbow tag with clothes, shoes or accessories. I do love clothes much more than I love beauty products. It's also very fun to choose favourites with a particular criteria. For now I leave you with seven products- in red, yellow, pink, green, purple, orange and blue. 

Here is the video:

Outfit

This is my new dress from the 'Holly Heatwave' Collection at Kitten D'Amour. I was looking forward to the arrival of the collection given that it's so excessively floral, fun and bright; I love the contrasting flower designs. Overall the collection runs large and this was the only dress which fitted me (luckily it was my preferred design anyway). I liked this dress because of the sleeveless design and the cross over straps. I adore dresses with interesting backs and there aren't too many designs like this. I had a dress a few years ago with similar cross over straps and my 'Holly Heatwave' dress reminds me of it. This dress is much longer than all of my others and I would like to take up the hem. I hope I will get around to it; I have been wearing it anyway because I love the dress and don't want to wait. I really like the belt which is also from Kitten D'Amour. It makes me want to buy a couple of other similar belts from the store but in different colours, as they add so much to the look. I am way too obsessed with Kitten D'Amour right now. It's becoming the only store I buy clothes from recently which isn't great given that it is rather expensive. I am constantly checking out the website and awaiting the new stock. Next month I am going to stop spending; I can delay my spending ban which was supposed to start at the beginning of the year, by two months, right? I joined a few facebook groups recently for Kitten D'Amour fans and it's really fun to chat with people and exchange thoughts on collections both past and present. Kitten D'Amour should seriously give me free clothes after all the publicity I provide for them.

OOTD: By the Waterside & Ferry Ride

Hi everyone! Last week I spent some time with my sister by the waterside which was very beautiful and provided amazing photo opportunities. It was such a fun evening and a great way to break up the routine of the average week. I slept over at my sister's place and was able to get the ferry to work the next day which was just so exciting and a lovely way to start a day. I can't believe that many people who live in these locations by the water are lucky enough to use the ferry rather than facing the overcrowded buses and trains during peak hour. It makes me want to move house. I decided that the newest addition to my wardrobe would suit the occasion, which is the Enchanted Forest Day Dress from Kitten D'Amour. As you can see, it is the dress I mentioned in my last wishlist post and so many of you told me I should buy it. Despite being on a spending ban, this was one I definitely couldn't resist. I love everything about it. The silhouette is my favourite and the print is adorable.  I call the print magical trees. I have been wearing this dress non stop at the moment, it truly is the best. My rainbow glitter shoes seemed like the perfect combination to wear with the magical tree dress. The Guess bag is also a recent and sneaky purchase. I have been in love with Guess bags for as long as I can remember. The designs are beautiful and I love the structured look. This one particularly stood out to me as it is a polka dot design and I haven't seen too many bags in that print before. It's very practical and a good size which is always a bonus. 

I also made a video which shows my first ever outfit of the day and also part of the ferry ride. I've had a few requests for OOTD videos so I hope it's ok. It's literally just me walking around in front of a pretty harbour side background.

Current Loves

Just a few pieces I love at the moment:  

Kitten D'Amour Enchanted Forest Day Dress
This dress is part of the new Enchanted Forest Collection at Kitten D'Amour. It is perfect, beautiful and totally my style; it's one of the most gorgeous pieces I have seen in a very long time. There aren't many novelty prints in local stores around here; I usually have to source fun prints online from the other side of the world.  This is extremely unique and I love how it has a soft pink colour scheme. I really need to add this to my collection of dresses. 

Alannah Hill She Plays Up Skirt
I've had my eye on this skirt for awhile now and was so tempted by it that I almost bought it at full price. However, I did the right thing and waited until it came on sale and now it's at 50% off. I'm sure it's obvious that my favourite prints are florals and polka dots but I rarely see them together so this is a lovely unique design. I also love the bright colours. The silhouette is different from other skirts in my wardrobe. It's a pencil skirt at the top which graduates to a fishtail. The material is also unique; it almost feels like a swimsuit. 

ASOS Shoes
I love so many shoes from ASOS at the moment so I made a small collection here of my favourites. ASOS brand have so many amazing and beautiful shoes. The burgundy velvet pair are the best and I wish they hadn't sold out in my size; I will have to keep an eye out in case they are restocked. I also love the brand Faith Shoes which is sold on ASOS. I had never heard of the brand until my sister bought me a pair of rainbow glitter heels for Christmas. Now I am drawn to the many fabulous glitter shoes.

Kitten D'Amour Silk Dress in Lemon
I actually have this dress in pale blue (and it also came in pale pink) which I purchased from Kitten D'Amour a number of months ago. It was very popular as it sold out quickly and I went to quite an effort to track down the last one in my size. I was first drawn to this piece because it reminded me of Princess Elsa from Frozen. I absolutely love her and anything which reminds me of her is the best. It appears as though Kitten D'Amour has re-released the dress in different shades. Since I am super obsessed with yellow in recent times. If it wasn't for the Frozen inspiration, I would probably prefer the lemon version. I can't get it out of my mind! 

Forever New Justine Quilted Tote Bag and Jennifer Quilted Tote Bag
Ever since I borrowed a real Chanel Bag (here) I have been extra obsessed with quilted bags; they are very pretty and classy (even when not genuine Chanel). I was drawn to these bags because of the size. I don't have many practical sized bags and I'm very much in need of them especially for days at work. The pink version is obviously in alignment with my style. I like the contrast with the black and white version, coupled with the bow (makes me want to make some DIY bows for my existing bags). 

Outfit

Today I am wearing the Kitten D'Amour Girl Crazy Lace Jersey Top in Red which is definitely my favourite top at the moment. I say this because I own it in three different colours (it comes in a total of four colours and I am so tempted to add the blue to my collection too). As soon as this piece was released as part of the Girl Crazy collection I wanted to buy it in all four different versions since I couldn't decide which colour I liked the most. Usually I wouldn't consider buying more than one of the same piece so this just shows how much I love it. I initially settled on the green version and the black version; I don't have many black clothes and the deep classy green shade really stood out to me. However, many weeks later I just could not resist the red either. At $60 this is rather affordable compared to most pieces from Kitten D'Amour.  It is also very suitable for everyday wear; in comparison most Kitten D'Amour clothes are more suited to formal/dressy occasions. This top is perfect and I love it so much. The lace and bows are adorable, and it is a flattering shape in a comfortable material. Best marks Kitten D'Amour for this top! I posted an outfit showing the green version of the same top here.
