Winter Pastels

It's autumn here in Sydney  but that didn't stop me from wearing pretty pastels. I know pastels are normally associated with  spring season, however they are equally wearable during autumn and winter. I found this really pretty pastel pink & grey coat at Topshop  recently which inspired me to put this outfit together.  Also, I took inspiration from Sonam Kapoor's look below (which is very Tiffanyandco inspired) for mixing pearls and mint green color. Btw, if you don't know, she is a Bollywood actress; extremely pretty and very stylish.

Dress for Success Haul

Today, I'm doing a haul of items I grabbed at the dress for success charity event (please read my post regarding the event here) I am just posting pictures of some of my favorite picks. Talking about favorite picks, the most favorite was a Christian Louboutin kitten heels in green. Seriously, it was the best buy ever. Anyways enjoy the pictures!

This is my favorite,  tigerprint  heels by spanish designer Marian Spain

Charity Shopping Event - Bubbles and Bargain

Last year, I got introduced to a charity based in Sydney called Dress for Success which outfits disadvantaged women in high quality professional attire and provides practical advice in preparation for job interviews, for free. They organize various events through out the year for fund raising, one of which is a sale event called Bubbles and Bargain. I got the opportunity to volunteer for the event last year in October and this year in mid April which not only allowed me to work with some very generous people but also witness a fantastic sale event with unbelievable bargains!

Railway Crossing

Finally I managed to edit some photos from my current Prabal Gurung printed cardigan styling obsession. I went to Hunter Valley during my birthday weekend about 2 weeks ago and these pictures were taken on the way. We stopped for a coffee break at this very interesting cafe called the Railway Crossing, it was right at the corner of an actual railway crossing hence the name. I was so fascinated by the rugged and antique interior of the cafe, it was so different and interesting. The owner had turned the trash into treasure and used unwanted and worn out pieces beautifully to give his cafe a unique look. I was especially drawn into this particular piece, it was an old kerosene stove which reminded me of my time back in the days when I used to live in Nepal. We used to use those stoves for cooking and I believe they are still used in Nepal by many families but here, it was an antique decorative piece in a coffee shop.
