Forget your troubles and fly a kite in your custom DIY maxi skirt!

DIY maxi skirt worn as a dress
Wittner Sandals (similar here)
Sportsgirl belt (similar here)
Market/Diva Bracelets (similar here)/ Necklace (similar here and here)

Hi all, I hope everyone has been great. I'm going to keep this post short, because I was abit unhappy and heartbroken today. So when I'm unhappy I tend to turn to music, TV, food and reading....

-Music (The Beatles and playing piano)
-TV (Glee and How I met your Mother)
-Food (Ice cream and Pizza)
-Reading ('One Day' book)
....this is what I did today.

Yesterday, I was in a happier mood though because I was at the beach, beautiful famous Bondi Beach until 7PM and I was flying a kite. Love flying a kite, reminds me of a kid :)
This is my outfit from yesterday, I made this skirt myself (worn as a dress though) and it's so cool to the touch and the print is a favourite of mine.
What do you guys do when you're unhappy?

Let me know, enlighten me...!

xx Natalie

  3. i hit the gym or cook. sometimes even cleaning makes my head clear and makes me feel better. but i won't deny, ice cream and pizza does the trick too. love the arm full of bracelets!

  4. Sorry you're blue. I hope the mood passes.

    Music helps me a lot; it pulls me out of my funk and into a better place. All kinds of art can do that for us.

  5. Love this look! Your lipstick just pops and the denim jacket over the maxi is amazing! The accessories really complete it :)

  6. Beautiful photos, loving the last one - there's so much freedom in it.

    And, although it's totatlly ok to be not ok time to time - you better cheer up! :)


    When I'm feeling blue I usually just torture myself listening to sad songs - and it's clearly it's not helping, hah. But I'm just waiting for my mood to change.
    Watching great inspiring movie could be a usefull :)

  31. Well, in my case it depends on the situation. Usually, I find some songs on my iPod I can relate to, I might even cry if it makes me feel better. Or I let the others try to cheer me up :)

    Lovely outfit, my dear! I'm so jealous of the good weather you have over there!

  35. natalie you sew very well. you're so lucky you live by the beach. whenever i go to one i feel such calmness & peace. kite flying is one of life's delights. i too find comfort in the beatles (my fave band). i had no idea you could play the piano. ice cream & pizza are also my faves. i like how you showed us a different look with your belt!

    ReplyDelete
  36. when I'm unhappy I usually buy myself something exclusive or just beautiful. and it helps!
    well, sometimes I have to share the reason of my bad mood with my boyfriend or with my dog Elvis and that also helps :)

    anyway, your photos made me miss hot summer days and beach so badly! :P
