The Looi Look: Another Year Older, But Alas, Another Year Wiser.

As each year goes by lately, I have become less and less excited about my birthday. I guess it’s the reality of becoming “another year older” that kind of puts me off a little. The only thing that I really look forward to on my birthdays is my mom’s cooking of my favourite meals (as per requestJ ) and spending time with all the people with whom I love! As the day approached, I was drenched with an overwhelming emotion of sadness on the realisation that I will be another year older. But alas, another year wiser ;)

The day started off on a good footing, with such a loving birthday message at 00:00 on the dot from my boyfriend! (He waited up patiently just so he could wish me J ) I was beyond spoilt by my love with a wonderful lunch treat and a stunning Michael Kors watch which I’ve had my eyes on for a long time now! Actually spoilt would be an injustice, I had been completely showered by love and gifts from him the entire week!

With many other spoils from family and friends, along with stunning messages received throughout the day, I had a pretty amazing and unforgettable day! J <3

Le Birthday Outfit And The Dusty Pink Coat!

I saw this beautiful dusty pink coat in Woolworths a couple of weeks ago. And it was on SALE with the LAST one and in MY size! There was no question as to whether or not I should buy it! I had planned to wait and wear it on my birthday. So with great will power and self -control I had managed to patiently wait it out until then! (It was one of the longest waits ever! As I normally wear any new items immediately after I purchase them!) But the wait was well worth it because the day of my birthday was overcast and quite windy (I was trying not to blow away with the wind!) with a slight drizzle in the afternoon!

I then completed the look with a loose pink bat-winged top, my favourite pair of leather pants, my new black-heeled ankle boots and Colette Hayman quilted handbag. I also decided to wear my new fedora wide-brimmed felt hat from Cotton On which I had purchased recently as well and was waiting for a perfect time to wear it! I know it was a tad bit cloudy that day but it was my birthday so I had every right to dress up and feel pretty and chic J and I really loved how this look came together with a little bit of a boho-chic feel.

I hope everyone is having an awesome day and keeping warm in this sudden winter again. Until next time xxx
