I think it's the best and worst thing when the print of your skirt can either be cute bow ties or delicious food. It seems coming into the colder months all I've been doing lately is eating my body weight in food, sweets and tea. Even when I'm not eating I'm thinking about eating and what I'm going to eat next, so of course It wasn't until I was sitting in traffic I realized this print resembled tiny little pasta bows. Usually this would have been fine but after a long and frantic day in the city I was completely starving. Is it just me or do the little red flowers and green leaves resemble small meatballs with some sort of Italian herbs? I'm not going to lie, I secretly think the person designing this print was either Italian or just as hungry as me at the time - maybe both? Now there's one useless question to ponder about which I've already spent too long pondering myself... thank god the weekend is here!

So here are a few photos we quickly took outside of my house the other day. Just kidding... I couldn't even imagine if this was my house! After trying to avoid some crazy traffic the other day I took a wrong turn but somehow managed to stumble across this beautiful setting instead. I kind of have an obsession with shooting in light-filled meadows, luscious gardens or out in the woods (when time and weather permits, that is) so It was only natural to stop and take some photos here. I've been waiting for a location to inspire me to wear this floral full circle skirt, which can easily look out of place by the beach side in my local hometown in North Avoca. And yes, I'm weird like that and won't shoot a piece of clothing for months If I haven't seen a location that inspires me to wear it. I've always loved 50's inspired skirts as I feel like they flatter all the right places. A good fitting one makes your waist look small whilst hiding your hips and falling just above the knee at an elegant length. They've always reminded me of an English Tea Party, so much so that I've had to fight the urge to bring along table and chairs to have one out the front of this building. Weirdly enough I'm pretty sure this place was a factory, with countless onlookers wondering why I was twirling and swaying around their front yard. They probably thought I was either drunk or insane, but instead It's just a normal day in the life of a blogger...
