I wish you'd post like this more often, these shots are gorgeous and really fit together perfectly. Sometimes style is not about a single outfit or a particular magazine shoot but rather what is intrinsically invoked through a collection of images. I think you have done this beautifully. Congratulations again on your wonderful NZ trip.

These are all so beautiful. I really love the knotted earrings in the second picture.

Nadia said...

Rumi! Come to Australia/Sydney! (And have lunch with me - my shout). I think your style is fascinating, in that you're a self-proclaimed nanna when it comes to knits but then you also wear the shortest ANYTHING. It keeps me coming back to fashiontoast regardless of whether I like a particular post's outfit or not.
Hurrah, and NZ looks lovely, even if they do have one of the most ridiculous English-speaking accents of all time.

Anu said...

amazing! want lonely hearts underwear. & everything else too.

Goodle. said...

HEY! Compared to Australian accent,New Zealand one is just fine,MATE! :D

Lovely post from New Zealand :)
