Pink Peony Picking – Outfit Of The Day
So the weird obsession with “pick your own” farms continues but this year we didn’t just want to do the regular berries and things like that so we googled around for some alternatives and found a Peony Farm which was open just one day a year!
Then we debated for like 3 weeks on the correct way to say peony because it just doesn’t sound right.

It was quite the drive out from Melbourne and we managed to pick a day which had pretty average weather. It threatened to rain all day but luckily didn’t start until we left the farm!
The farm really looked like something out of a fairy tale. There was a cute little church, a band playing and all kinds of rustic food stalls. People were having picnics everywhere on the grass.
For once in my life I decided to wear sensible, appropriate shoes so I went and bought some gumboots that week.
I decided they weren’t quite cute enough so I added some decorations to make them Chibi Moon boots from Sailor Moon 😉
Hot pink gumboots – Big W children’s section, customised by me For the first time ever I was in more practical shoes than Celina, I thought it should be noted so here’s a photo of her getting stuck in the mud for prosperity. She is so never going to go to a farm with me ever again after this 😀
My outfit theme was I guess kind of country cute? I want to say that it was really carefully thought out but I honestly just wanted to wear this dress because it was brand new. I had really wanted to finish knitting the pink cardigan I was doing to match the shoes but I didn’t get it done in time >_<
White lace dress – Plastic Island
In this photo we see my lovely friends daring James to touch an electric fence. -_-‘ I’m not going to say the outcome but I think we all know what happened.
I chose soft pink eyeshadow to go with the look. I have been reverting to gold shimmer or pink eyeshadow a lot lately and I think I’m in a bit of a make up rut. After a string of allergies I’ve had to tone back for a few months so I’m thinking of doing a month make up free to try and just get my skin in really good condition again!
Soft pink eye make up with 3/4 lashes and bright pink lipstick. I got to have a little fun with my macro clip again!
My accessories for the day were gold and pretty much all of them came from a $3 sale at Target a few weeks ago. I’m pretty disappointed at the quality of a lot of these pieces because they were around $30 full price and some of them broke the first day I wore them out :/
Love necklace – Target And proof that I actually did pick the flowers myself! We got there early but not early enough because most of the good ones had already been picked.
Each person who picked got to take home 20 flowers. It really is a lot more than you’d think because they are HUGE.
Did I mention that this is a real proper farm and as such, it was full of bugs and so were the flowers *_* In this photo, it looks all artistic carrying the peonies upside down but I was actually trying to shake out all of the bugs. I’m really not a country girl.
After almost a year of wearing the same scarf every day I decided it was probably a good idea to rotate some of the others in my wardrobe in to justify the space they take up hahaha! I never go on these outing without a big scarf even if it’s really hot because I am terrified of sunburn.
Pink floral scarf – Forever New
Pink flower bracelet – Target Our combined basket of peonies and many bugs with pointy stingers. This is why I’m holding it so awkwardly away from myself haha!
Straw boater hat – Big W, flowers added by me
So many cute rustic places for photos!
After we had picked our share of flowers, we headed back to the picnic area to enjoy our yummy food.
This was probably a mistake on our part because it was quite warm by now so all of our peonies started to wilt. Flower picking is hungry work though!
James and I collaborated on these mini cheesecake jars for dessert. Next time we should do baked cheesecake, it’s so much better!
It’s so fun to get back into outfit posts, I am loving this format a lot more than the bulk ones from last year!
Now prepare for part 2 of the Peony-ing and in the next post I’ll show you what I did with them all! |
Shirt: Target
This is a shirt I never thought I would wear again! I bought it when I was a kid working generic retail jobs. I love finding new ways to style old clothes! 
And this outfit was from the Lotus/Lily farm we went to.
Have you guys seen Tiny Hands jewellery? They hand make tiny food themed pieces that smell like what they are! I’ve had one of their donut necklaces for ages but they sent me a strawberry ice-cream one to match and it smells amazing! Also totally cute ^_^ Make sure you check their website here and see the full range: 
Tuesday’s Toes with Pedi-Sox! So after last time, I wanted to do matching toe nail art for all of my Pedi-Sox! So this month I went with the mary-jane style socks and did mini tuxedos to match ^_^ To try it yourself: 1. Paint the nail white. 2. Use black acrylic paint to make a bow out of 2 triangles. 3. Add 2 dot buttons below it and top coat once dry. Done! Love!! To order your own mary jane style Pedi-Sox check out 
Current favourite nail design! I’m really getting back into doing my nails regularly and I’ve been so inspired by the epic glitter toppers from Glitter Lambs. Seriously this is BLING when the light hits it! This is a pearl base with Kawaii Bake Sale glitter topper and then gold studs on top. So pretty! You can check our their store and get your own glitters here: 
Today’s make up was inspired by my idea of a romantic date look. I created the whole look using Younique beauty products including my new favourite mascara: Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes. This isn’t any ordinary mascara, it’s actually has tiny fibers you apply to *create* lashes *_* so effective and I’m obsessed with it! To recreate my look: base/concealer- Mineral Touch Pressed Powder in Scarlet, blush- Stunning, lashes- Moodstruck 3D Fiber, Eyes- Moodstruck Mineral Pigments (Curious as highlighter, Flirty all over the lid, Sassy in the crease, Devious mixed with Refreshed Rosewater as a liner, Confident on the bottom lash line), lips- Lavish. You can get all of the products here: 
So last week I had a sort of Minnie Mouse themed outfit, here’s the nail art that went with it! It’s from Glitter Lambs and it’s SO glittery! The nails are a base of pearl with the Minnie Mouse Princess topper over it and then hand painted black spots and Minnies. This brand is everything I love about glitter, it’s so sparkly in the light! Go get yours here: 
Current obsession now that it’s gotten cold enough? Pedi-Sox! They are cute socks with an opening in the end so you can be warm while painting your toes. I have actually been wearing them all week because I overheat in regular socks so this way I get comfy feet without being too warm! They’re also great for sealing in moisturising treatments like SofSpa which is good for both feet and other areas with dry skin. You can order online in lots of cute designs: 
That’s a lot of outfits!! Clearly I need some more pyjama time 😀
