It's raining, it's pouring, come on Mother Nature, this constant downpour is getting boring!
All musical foolery aside, it's been BUCKETING down here in Sydney lately, and although I wouldn't uuusually bang the ''eek! Winter!'' drum (I'm one of those nutters who actually loves the cold!), look! This climate madness has to be seen to be believed!
As I stepped out of my front door yesterday, everything was grey. The sky! The ocean! The nearby trees reflecting the apocalyptic-like colours from the sky and ocean! It was all incredibly eery, so I quickly snapped a couple of photographs (please note: these are NOT in black and white!) on my way:
Thankfully today's weather has been far less dramatic, but an umbrella is still currently a must-have accessory! (Ridiculous twirling optional.)
What I'm Wearing:
x Target galaxy-style dress and cardigan
x Lovisa skull pin
x Spend-less Shoes ankle boots, a kind gift from Westfield Australia, who have just launched their shiny new online footwear department (if, like me, you've spent the past 10 years of your shopping life DESPISING searching for shoes because you're never sure which store stocks which brands and which sizes to fit your gigantic feet, this is terrific news! No more wondering! No more drifting despondently from store to store! Hooray, hooray, hooray!)
♥
However you're spending your day, I hope it's much warmer where you are!

It is indeed MUCH warmer where I am but with rain added into that, so it's unbelievably moist outside. There were storms and hail everywhere in Germany yesterday but for some reason not around here :(
Those are some amazing photos!
I really love your shoes!

Wow, those black and white (but not black and white) photos are amazing!
I just got home to Perth after a weekend in Melbourne - it was SO cold but luckily there wasn't much rain. At home it's rainy as f*ck but it's a few degrees warmer - can't have it all :)

I know the feeling - it's not exactly the Costa Del Sol in dear old blighty either. Still, I can't complain, as I prefer to dress for winter :)
That dress is splendid. I'm such a fan of print.

Those pictures are pretty whacked out - I can't believe it got that dark!

Did you know that the sun was shining and also raining pretty hard this morning in Hawaii? And all day today, it was gloomy and sunshine every five minutes! Our weather is controlled by a crazy person! Anyway, I love your dress! xoxoxoo
