Aussie Curves 3.0 - Handbag



This Filippo Raphael bag is my fave handbag ever! I bought it for $5 from an op shop years ago! 
It was cheap for [what I assume is] leather because the red silky/satin lining was stained with ink in the inside. This did not bother me at all because it cant even be seen with your stuff in it.



Its quite a heavy bag being a bit over a kilo, or around 3 kilos with my bare essentials in it (I carry 3 huge sets of keys for work) but it is all worth it!

The bag strap recently started to unthread where it has sat on my shoulder however that was easy to replace with another black bag strap. The newer strap is slightly shinier but you can hardly tell! 


I love this bag so much because it is cool! Its kinda punk rock chick but not to over the top and still can look quite chic worn the right way.

And it's been my favourite bag for sometime now according to the following photo from Instagram 88weeks ago.

Dress Ups: Gatsby/The Roaring 20's

In all honesty what girl doesn't love playing dress ups?!? Of course once you have the costume bit sorted that is!!


Last night a friend had her 21st birthday party themed 'The Great Gatsby' from the roaring 20's. I organised my outfit and my Mums outfit with limited funds and we had a ball!


The event was held at The Shamrock Hotel in Bendigo which was a perfect location. The decor was very era appropriate; diamonds littered tabletops and feathers shot out of flower displays. It really felt like it could've been the 20's!
The balcony was gorgeous, unfortunately a bit cold for most however my neck fur kept me quite warm so I made the most of the beautiful view when I could.


The outfits I put together were quite easy once I knew what I was looking for and it was definitely the accessories that made the outfit. Most of the stuff I already had! The outfits at the party were quite diverse too! I was very impressed. Penguin suits, flappers, a Dick Van Dyke (from Mary Poppins) look a like, glamorous divas, Madaàms etc


My Outfit details:
 || Dress || no label || Opshopped for $2.50 (half price sale yay!)
 || Red Gloves || borrowed from Mum
 || Vintage Glomesh clutch || Opshopped for $10
 || Fishnet stockings (size 1x-3x) || We Love Colours || $10.50
 || Bandelettes (size E) || http://www.bandelettes.com/ || $15
 || Mary Jane tie up heels || Expression by Kmart || Opshopped for $3
 || Vintage red beads || Opshopped for $4
 || Fake fur neck scarf || Opshopped for $3
 || Headband || Opshopped for $1
 || Feather || Opshopped for $1
 || Lipstick || Face Of Australia || Ruby Delight 


Mums Outfit details
 || Dark blue/purple peplum || no label || Opshopped for $3
 || Black skirt || Sussans || Opshopped for $1.50 (half price sale)
 || Knitted Bolero || Autograph || Opshopped for $6.25
 || Fishnets, shoes & earrings || her own
 || Sequin & feather headpiece || Opshopped (cant remember price sorry)
 || Sequin flower brooch || actually a hairclip || Opshopped (also can't remember sorry)
 || Beads || Opshopped for $2


Unfortunately we didn't stay to paint the town red, instead we did thing in true Gatsby style and made off with jewels and the money!

Aussie Curves 3.0 - Wedding Guest

Just a quickie for the Aussie Curves challenge this week. What would I wear as a wedding guest? Probably something like this outfit.


A simple dress like this is great in all seasons and I love how [with a belt] this dress enhances my body shape! 
If the weather is too cold it can be easily changed into a winter dress by adding leggings or tights. 


I would probably wear black tights and a long sleeve black top underneath, like you can vaguely see in the pic below.


Then to complete my outfit I've adding a matching purple clutch, nail polish and some purple jewellery. And there you have it, a wedding guest outfit!



Outfit details:
Hi-lo Dress || City Chic || $20 off eBay
Belt || City Chic || $15
Clutch || Sandler || Opshopped for $5
Platforms || Miss Shop at Myer || $20 on sale ages ago!
Earrings || most likely Diva or Lovisa ages ago
Nail polish || Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Pronto Purple


Here is another Wedding guest outfit post I've done too.
