These pics were taken in Hiroshima, Japan such a beautiful and peaceful place!  The cherry blossoms were in full bloom and just so gorgeous. 

I bought this mint knit in Japan, seriously needed some extra warm clothes.  Doesn't hurt that is is pastel perfection with those pink cherry blossoms : )

     

Japan- Anyone for oysters & sake?

 

Jeans- Saba
Tee- Marcs

Something I didn't know was that Hiroshima, Japan is famous for its oysters, so what does that mean? It means oysters for lunch : ) And they were amaze- BBQ'd, big, meaty and delicious.  Of course with rather a big glass of sake to wash them down- perfect!

These pics were taken on a little island off Hiroshima called Miyajima, here we found the Itsukushima Shrine.  At high tide the shrine appears to float on the water, it's pretty cool.  We spent the whole day at the island, so by the time we left it was low tide and we could actually walk out to it!

This place was the mildest of our trip, I was SO excited to get down to a t-shirt for a little while, and to CARRY my jacket- Woohoo!! I should also take this opportunity to point out the cute little shoes from Steve Madden that I'm wearing- they are as comfy as slippers and were my staple shoe for my holiday!

Can you see the bee?  He's right there, hovering in front of my skirt in the first pic- I think I may have actually made eye contact with in that very moment the photo was captured.  Despite all manner of begging and pleading he continued to toy with me, causing me to pull ridiculous expressions and leap around like a woman possessed just as my photograph was being taken- cheeky fellow! THEN it started raining.  So thanks to Mr Bee, strange expressions and all, these are my pics for today : )

On another note I'm in love with these boots, no doubt they will be my Autumn/Winter staple.


ANNNNND will you be at Nuffnang Fashionopolis? 
It's Australia's first ever industry day for fashion bloggers and it is going to be held right here in Melbourne.  It looks to be an amazing day of networking and learning about the business of blogging.
Be sure to book now, time is running out!!  I look forward to seeing you there : )

I love a bit of diagonal photography, but gee whizz, it seems I went a little nuts in Japan and have managed to take a fair whack of crooked pics... apparently on purpose!  I do wonder what on earth I was thinking, and I do hope I'm not driving you nuts with my arty-farty photos : )

The garden pics were taken at the Imperial Palace in Kyoto, only open for 4 days a year, and timed perfectly with our visit!  The deer is a friendly deer who lives in Nara where we visited the largest wooden structure in the world- the Great Buddha Hall.  Rather spectacular indeed.

Back in my beloved Melbourne, there really is no place like home.  It's the middle of Autumn but the weather on the weekend was like Summer, even more so than our actual Summer- glorious!!  The perfect opportunity to break in my new boots from Runway Boutique and warm enough for me to wear this sheer shirt with the cutest collar from Junk Clothing's Autumn/Winter collection.
