So, these socks are another pair from We Love Colors. Gosh - this is my first time wearing "Thigh Highs" Ive seen them in so many magazines, but I just didnt know if I could ever do it. I actually really love them! But I get a lot of funny looks. Does this happen for any of you?
As for ship life this week - we are in a new city and the sail from Brisbane to here was a bit of a rocky one. I say that because I have the weakest stomach on board probably, and it was 36 hours long! I stayed in bed the entire time. I seriously felt like the most useless person ever. But - I do want to share with you one thing! I read this book called "Heres The Story" and it is by the woman who played Marcia Brady on the Brady Bunch. Alright, so I dont usually fall so in love with books that I cant put them down - but I seriously could not put this book down. It might of been for the fact that I was sold on never getting out of my bed, but this book is seriously amazing! She just shares about her life before the Brady Bunch, her life during the Brady bunch and then after - so incredible! She is such a woman of strength. At the end it brought me to tears, so I highly suggest you check it out! So good!
We are in this city of Gladstone for a few more weeks, then off to the next port. So excited to see Nathan really soon though - oh, Nathan, I miss you! What are all of you up to, though? Tell me something exciting! Till next time...x

I adore this look! Those socks are amazing and awesome for cruising on a ship regardless of what lame-o's say.
ReplyDeleteHehehe :) I totally understand where you are coming from. What us fashion bloggers do for our blogs! You're right though- it IS an amazing community!! Do your friends/family know about your blog? I have told two people. My boyfriend, who loves it and supports me, and my best friend....who hates it and doesnt understand. I'm buying an SLR camera too (not primarily for my blog) and she said, "what's the point? it's not like you're going to be a photographer" all snootylike. So yeah.
ReplyDeleteI love your socks and the detail on your dress is adorable!
Thanks so much Rosie! you're a peach.
ReplyDeleteAnd Mag, all of my freinds actually know about my blog, I am not very secretive about it. I like that they read it. The only thing that I dont like, is that sometimes I feel like I cant be as free as I would like to be sometimes with my feelings and such, because I dont know who is my reading my blog. My boyfriend is so supportive though..and my parents digg it, Its funny - I guess some people dont understand...but its just like other hobbies that people have - like music, art, cooking - except we like fashion blogging! I find it so incredibly inspiring. I hope your best freind will come around..and see how amazing your blog is! :) Have a great rest of your week sweet-pea. x
haha, i had wondered what the other people on the ship thought about you taking photos! it is worth it though!
ReplyDeletethat dress is wonderful. i have over the knee socks pretty similar to that from american apparel but they are ribbed, i love them but i am ashamed to say i havn't worn them yet! at the moment i can't find anything that i think looks 'right' with them, and they make my thighs look weird, but this post has inspired me :)
i'm still in awe of how stylish you are, ON A BOAT.

That dress is gorgeous. I love Ally. Some people judge because it's so cheap but I think its a great shop to find hidden treasures. Plus price shouldn't matter right? It's all about how you style and work it.
ReplyDeleteI also totally look up to you and your blog. I could never just take photos of myself like that. For many reasons. I wish I was more confident in that respect. That's why I feel silly sometimes even running a blog, like there is no point to it? But I'm hoping that the more I stick to it maybe my confidence will grow eventually and I can show outfit shots aswell as just my life. We'll see how it goes.
Wow now I'm just rambling. But anyway, great blog and great style I really admire your work!
xx
this is so cute, I love the colors of the dress with the bolder color of those socks!
ReplyDeleteit's always embarrassing getting "caught" doing self-portraits ;] I feel almost like I'm doing something wrong, but I just know most people in your daily life do not understand our blogging passions.
I hope you feel better after your long crossing! Take care :]
thank you for your sweet comment.
ReplyDeletesydney is one of my favourite places on earth too! the architecture, the shopping, the markets, the food, bondi, glebe, the university.... its all beautiful :)
I love this post, you are so witty, love all the pictures, you look fabulous, xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh you are so adorable! I love those socks with that dress. That's such an awkward situation I assume with all them on that ship! My mom doesn't even really understand the idea behind it so I can imagine what they say!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, too! I am so glad I found it. Case and point that the blog world really is an amazing community..You are adorable!
ReplyDeleteLook at you, not even feeling well, and yet looking super stylish...those socks are wonderful. I am sad to say I do not own any, but especially after this post, I might have to get my hands on some asap...
I adore this look! And your kind comments lately on my blog -- you really are just the sweetest person ever! They always make me smile and sometimes I read them to my husband. I know you'll be soooo happy to see your dreamboat, and this ship tour sounds like the trip of a lifetime. I'm so happy you're out doing something great, even if you get a little seasick from time to time. You'll always be able to laugh about it later, right? And you'll have amazing stories.
ReplyDeleteThe thigh highs can be tricky but you look right at home in them. I actually think I'm going to wear some tomorrow!
xx Julia
you look SO adorable! and as someone who watched brady bunch reruns as a kid, i'm definitely checking out that book. ;)
ReplyDeleteA floral Dress on a ship is just a recipe for cuteness. Love the photos, love your blog!
ReplyDeleteSome Love to you xoxoxo
Love the outfit :-)
ReplyDeleteI always have to fight the urge to mumble aplogetic explanations about my outfit posts when someone asks. I feel like I've been outed as a narcissistic nut job everytime. LOL
i'm definitely reading... and i dig it too. xx
ReplyDeleteyou look great with thigh high socks, i love how you wore them! and you've got such a cute blog! its nice to discover a fellow aussie blogger :)

Love the dress, and you totally rock the thigh-highs! It's a look I've never tried but often admired, and it looks great with your style.
ReplyDeletethat is a funny story ~.^ you look so cute, as always!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean!
ReplyDeleteMy hair is red, and yesterday I was wearing striped thigh highs. So obviously I was Pippi Longstocking walking around town.. But it's ok.. I'm quite used to being "noticed".. xP
You're so cute, Kate <3
The high socks really suits you!

ReplyDeleteI can't believe I never commented this post. You look amazing, this floral dress is so dainty and romantic. Love the thigh high socks! I really want to sport some!

Hope you're having the time of your life! Speak soon xoxo
ReplyDeletehahaha, that's why i am bound to the confines of my apartment when it's just me taking photos and harry's not with me because people won't understand why i take too many photos of myself..they don't know that it's of my outfit..hehehe. love your courage kate!
ReplyDeletethe dress is absolutely adorable on you..so are the thigh-high tights!

I feel you... There are times when I encounter people who are not aware of what a blog is. Sometimes I just tell them that it's like a website... a page they can visit in the internet. ;)
ReplyDeleteKate!
ReplyDeleteI just found you're blog and I absolutely love it, you're adorable as always and I continue to admire you're approach to life itself.
Rock on Sailor!
Love, Matilda
Hee hee hee, I'm always afraid someone will catch me setting up my tripod and ask me what in heaven's name I'm doing!! You must have braved it like a champ. and you LOOK like a champ!
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid of wearing thigh-highs, they're so chic and cute. I haven't bought a pair, and I might not until later in the summer, but I love the look, especially on you!
God bless you!

Trop chouette ces chaussettes! ;)
ReplyDeletebisous
That is such a funny story! I would've been so embarrassed..hehe...that's why I am never brave enough to take photos of myself outside. You look so darling, I love the dress, and the socks! I love thigh highs, and I have a few pairs, but I never have the courage to wear them outside!
ReplyDeletethis is a beautiful outfit! i've never worn long socks either but i'll be giving them a try once it turns chilly again! i'm impressed you're keeping up with the outfit posts on board the ship despite your fellow crew's misunderstanding of blogging! :)
ReplyDeletei've given you a little award on my blog dearie :)
