My friend had given me some Euro for Xmas so I could have a cocktail on our trip - I'd decided on the Danieli but alas Four Seasons has taken over and were doing renovations, so our roof top bar at Palazzo Cannova fit the bill. My husband was joining me in a while, so the bird felt no qualms about approaching me.
I don't think too much about fashion - I like what I like and I wear it. I live in Uniqlo Marimekko and occasionally real Marimekko and Kitten D'Amour. On my feet, Birkenstocks and I did have a collection of Kitten D'amour shoes but alas heels are not my friends anymore. Shiny Converse are my new dress shoes.
Who is my style icon?
Yanoi Kusama. I love her art but she also always looks cool! I've written about her work in Canberra, displays in Sydney, her museum in Tokyo, seeking her robot (and failing), and of course the big exhibition in Melbourne. Her art is very much part of her, and her dresses and the hair always look so fabulous.
I too rock the red hair from time to time, in theory all the time but it washes out after a few weeks and sometimes I take a bit of time to do it again....like now. She is not afraid to mix patterns, like me since the Anthony Bloomfield days in the '80's. I've just tried to google him and it seems he's vanished. Which is sad, as he really started the wearing two prints fad.
The bottom line is, style is so much more than clothes. It's in all that you do, it's in how you carry yourself. Confidence and style are often intertwined (though not bullish). If the clothes make you feel good, bring you happiness when wearing them, style is usually on display.

And of course, for those who do nothing to celebrate it, just remember the Lunar New Year festivities start in Sydney on the 14th Feb, so you can welcome the Horse instead! Thai Town also has their Lunar New Year festival that night. Tickets here (free).
Something for everyone!

For years, my rose bush has only bloomed one rose at a time, and I have been most excited by this single flower appearing, feeling like it was a success.
I came home to a mass of flowers in bloom, and I delight each day they are still holding together or more have taken the place of the ones that lost their petals.
What changed? I've no idea.
Sometimes it's not what you do, it's just how it happens.

It is always lovely to flesh out the blogger we know so well through their words with an actual person. Especially as all the bloggers I knew through the blogger brunches or the travel bloggers meet ups have gone. Funnily in recent years I have met more bloggers from Europe than I have from Australia! (Though my readership is more overseas these days so maybe that makes sense?)
There are two rooms that have infinity mirrors, plus the hallway that reflects on either side.
Sort of like us, the sum of every person we were before making up the present individual that we are. What you see is the human that is a reflection of every existence they've been in the past, Stretching all the way back to birth. We can't erase it, it's there if we look, but we can mould ourselves into the best version we can or just shift our focus to the best light and narrow down on the person we are now.
