Dear Mixie Meets Polyvore!

A note from Lexie-Lou..



There has been many a time where I have been feeling a bit mopey or miserable, and I've desperately needed a colourful cheer up. Especially at this time of year when everything starts getting super hectic and I need a quiet and cost-effective escape. 

This is where Polyvore comes in handy :) 

Putting together an outfit is a great distraction and is definitely safer than impulse shopping online (which is one of my more expensive habits).

Here is a pastel summer ensemble I day dreamed up on a mopey Monday afternoon!

Little Witches

Well it's finally here! Our Halloween inspired shoot - 'Little Witches' :)

These photos were taken in South East Brisbane in the quiet bushland near my home. 




 We spent the morning poring over our favourite location blogs to get a lil inspiration for our first official shoot - and we're quite pleased with how it went!

Neither Missy or myself are overly dark in our fashion taste, so this was quite a light-hearted take on Halloween style. We're loving loose and draped fabrics at the moment coming into Spring (and we made some Spring time friends along the way!)





Hope you enjoy our creepy cute pics!

Nothing Like A Good Lay

Evening all!

My favourite time of the year is usually Spring, 90% of the reason is because it's my birthday.

I mean, you get free cake. Free Cake guys. Cake.

Anyway!

The other part is the fashion, it's starting to warm up and I can finally wear the millions of new Spring clothes I've no doubt purchased. Also means I need to shave my legs but it's a price I'm willing to pay.

But oh dear Spring, you brings to mind all kinds of delightful things! The warm afternoons, cute sandals, floral prints and cute straw hats. It's not cold, it's not hot - it's just right.

Unfortunately, Lexie and I live in Queensland where Spring doesn't exist. Well at least for no longer than about a week - if that.

It'll be a million degrees (seriously), humid and then it'll just rain randomly. Even if it's sunny. 
Not kidding, happened to me today. There was blue sky above my head but there was rain falling on me. I told my mother that this was highly unacceptable.

So you can imagine it's hard to structure an adorable outfit when you live in a state that has more mood swings than twenty tweens combined.

I have created two little flat lays from some of my favourite clothing pieces that I do like to wear during this crazy season.

I love tartan and usually it's more of a pattern for the cooler months but that is not going to stop me! I've paired this lovely tartan shirt with a quirky kitty hat and some stacked sandals. This shirt is over-sized so I can wear it as a dress because I ain't got time for pants!
But just because I'm a scaredy pants doesn't mean you can't wear it tucked into some a pair of shorts or a skirt!

Shoes Windsor Smith

This next look is kinda saying "It's Spring so I'm going to dress it and weather - you better not ruin my good vibes!"

It's my take on what my dear little unicorn Lexie would wear, a bit different to the tartan but still both cool enough for hot days!

Good Vibes Lay:

Shorts Topshop

Here are two little shoe combinations that are something to add to a simple outfit for Spring. Jelly shoes are great as, if it's rains - your shoes are made of plastic! You can go stomping in puddles all you want and just rinse them, huzzah! Plus these shoes are clear so it's a great excuse to break out some fun socks!

I hope you all enjoyed this little post! Okay well, not so little.
I'm nearly done with editing our Halloween inspired shoot and they should be up by the end of the week!
