Needing a Little Something…

blah, inspiration, Nautical, shorts

Ive hit a massive lull when it comes to fashion. Normally I would consider myself a stylish person but of late I always feel chunky and weird. I blame winter, mostly. It used to be my favourite season but I think that was because it meant we didn’t have to go outside and play sport at high-school (hello bookworm!). Now I crave the warm sun and nothing but!

The worst part about winter is the fact that EVERY YEAR  I gain about 10kgs – and all the healthy eating in the world cant shift it. I’m normally a runner but in winter I take a break, which is lame, I should still be hitting the footpath whenever an opportunity is awarded to me.

I also have a haircut that looked great the second it was cut but the minute it started to grow it made me look like an extra in Wallace and Gromit – and my hair grows at the speed of light. I’m also a brunette (or a ‘Bloodnut’ – whatever) which I LOATHE but I dont have the mula to get my natural colour back. Short of ALWAYS wearing a ‘messy bun’ on the top of my noggin, I can do nothing right.

My skin seems to have just hit puberty again. I have breakouts that make those proactive ads look weak.

Basically i’m a bit down and need a bit of a vent, but, at ABCs of Style we’re women of action – not ‘lets sit around, drink vodka and feel sorry for ourselves’…. Okay… I lied. We are a little bit of that…. BUT for the most part we are women of action and today I wanted to show you my ‘Inspiration’ outfit. Basically, its an outfit I want to look good enough to get into when summer rolls around!

Inspiration Outfit
 

I love shorts but never wear them because of low confidence with my legs, but this summer is going to change all that! I want to wear shorts and I bloody well will. Ive kept the look relaxed and casual, just how I want summer to be! *dreams*

So girls and guys, what tips do you have for reaching your goals? Do you have an inspiration outfit?

500 Days of Summer, 500 days of summer fashion, Beige pants, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Man Style, Tie Necklace, zooey deschanel

Good afternoon lovely ladies and gents!

I apologise for my tardy updating behaviour today, I was supposed to have a handyman come and repair bits and bobs in my house and the guy never showed and thus I had no access to my work computer. First world problem, am I right? Anyway, it has been so long since I have seen ‘500 Days of Summer’ but I remember it being a spectacular film questioning modern romance. The best part? It stars two of my favourite actors on the planet, Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Goron-Levitt (Can anyone say YUM!?)

Given my love for ‘dressing like a man’ I have decided to translate Toms style into a more feminine likeness. I adore his casual ‘suit’ option. He always looked professional while still exuding a young confidence.

So, what do you fashionistas think? Would you try this cool casual but professional style or will you leave it to Joseph Gordon Levitt?

Laptop Bags

bags, dorky, elegant, halp, laptop bags

Okay, just a quick post today asking *you* more questions than answering them! Im frantically shopping around for all the supplies I need before Uni starts late august (including a new laptop which is expensive and limits my shoe budget, boo hiss) but before I do that I want to make sure that I have a laptop bag that is suitable while still being sleek, elegant and cool. It has to be able to hold laptops and look good with work gear as well as weekend gear. I was thinking a sleek black leather but it turns out that theyare stupidly expensive and as a, now, poor uni student, I cant afford that! Here are few I have found that I dont mind, but if you can suggest some cool bags from some cool places i’d more than love to hear about them!

$67.49 – Strandbags

Bagworld.com.au – $71.40

Bagworld.com.au – $68.00

Lonsdale – $99.95

So – for me – these are all lacking something. I cant tell you what, they just are! What do you think? Where do you think I should be looking? Would love some advice fashionistas!
