Im sorry to say that I will no longer be posting on this blog. I don't seem to be able to get around to putting together any posts, and with my full-time job starting next month it will be almost impossible to maintain.

Thankyou all for your kind comments in the short time ive had this blog, I appreciate it more than anything.

My other blog will continue as usual, so feel free to follow me over there if you like.
I will be posting any outfits, finds, purchaces over there from now on :)

Hello hello...

I know I have been neglecting this blog, although my other blog is still going. There just doesn't seem to be enough time to fit everything into the passing days.

But, I'm back for now. Today Mikey and I went to one of our favourite little towns, Hahndorf. We were so upset to see our favourite cafe there has closed down...or is being renovated, were not quite sure. These photos were taken outside an old building on the main street, which acutally has an art gallery inside.

On the weekend I met with my friend Mel for lunch at a local cafe. It has become unbelievably hot very quickly, in the high 30's all week. So I welcome dress season :) I wait to wear my dresses all year because thats what I feel most comfortable in.

This is a new dress I bought last week, Ive been buying a few black skirts and dresses lately, just because you can wear them with pretty much any accessories and shoes.

Yesterday morning my mum and I went to the carboot sale and a local craft market. The weather was perfect and between the two of us, we found lots of nice things which you can read about on my other blog here.

Here's what I wore...

My tights are black, but for some reason in the next picture they look blue! I think it must have been the lighting.

In Pink

2009-10-16T19:42:00.007+10:30

Last night I went out for dinner with Mikey and his family to celebrate his dad's birthday. We went to the Avoca Hotel, it was ok, I wasnt overly impressed, probably because they didn't have too many vegan options (not that many places do).

We went to the shops on the way there and I thought this lovely church across the street was a nice place to take some pictures, much to Mikey's disgust ;)

I bought this pink jacket a couple of years ago and haven't worn it all that much, perhaps because its a little big, I still adore the colour. It really should be to warm to wear a jacket considering it is Spring, the Adelaide weather just doesn't seem to be cooperating!

Anyways, heres what I wore...

Oh...more new shoes which are suprisingly comfortable :)

Brown dress - Target

Scarf - A botique in Hahndorf

Amongst the Wildflowers

2009-10-12T20:41:00.007+10:30

On the weekend Mikey and I went for a picnic, there were so many wildflowers it was beautiful, we just had to take some pictures. Although the photos don't really show how lovely it was....and the outfit is a little boring, but comfortable for a picnic. Oh and my sunnies are new!

Here's what I wore...

I'm not sure if you can see in the next photo, but the top has a faint white and grey flower print.

Last weekend Mikey and I went to his sisters 21st birthday dinner at Regattas Bistro in town. It was a really lovely dinner, and they even were happy to make a seperate non-menu meal for me which contained no animal products. We had lots and lotssss of warm olives, and then I had gnocchi for the main.

The restaurant overlooks the Torrens River and we were plesantly suprised when towards the dinner fireworks started going off over the river - they were part of the Oz Asia Moon Lantern Festival.

After dinner we met with Mikey's cousin and his girlfriend for some drinks at the Belgiam Beer Bar, which has a lovely atmosphere and sells every type of beer you can imagine...raspberry beer...chocolate beer...too bad I was driving :(

Sorry about all the ramblings...heres what I wore...

Black lace tunic dress - Sussan

Belt - Temt

This is what I wore when my bf and I headed up to a wildlife park in the Adelaide Hills. Its always so hard to judge what the difference in weather will be up in the hills because its always a few degrees cooler.

I bought some new shoes and bag last week and thought it was the perfect chance to wear them :)

Vintage Etsy Shopping

2009-09-30T21:37:00.006+09:30

I thought I would share with you one of my favourite Etsy shops to browse.

Solanah sells gorgeous vintage clothes. And she always models the clothes so well too, plus she also has an amazing blog where she shares her latest vintage finds and gorgeous hat collection, check it out here.

Here are my favourites in her Etsy store at the moment.

This last skirt has to be my favourite! Lacey, frilly and feminie, isn't it perfect?

New Tights

2009-09-26T11:48:00.008+09:30

Today has been a dreery day, rain this morning and then in the afternoon out comes the sun! Adelaide weather sure changes quickly, sometimes I wish I lived somewhere more predictable.

Last night I was stuck in the rain and hail at work, I love rain and storms, but not when I have to out somewhere, for one thing im always scared I will be struck by lightening... although I know its highly unlikely. As for today ive been napping and sitting in front of the heater watching Footloose :) im all for relaxing days.

This week I spotted these tights and just had to have them...

Tights - Razza Matazz

Black Bag - Target

Necklace - Antique

New Stuff

2009-09-21T14:22:00.010+09:30

Hair accessories...who doesnt love em! I certainly do, I have estimating over 30 headbands, heaps of ribbons, clips, scarves...the works! But I still have to buy more when I see pretty, sweet things different to what I already have.

Here are some I have purchased over the last month!

Pink sequin flower clip - Lincraft

White flower headband - Diva.

You can just see the flowers have a glitter thread through them.

Ive been loving bows lately! I just had to buy this headband in two different colours, lavender and coral.

And oh yes of course the seasons are changing which means the shops are a dangerous place for me to visit right now! A new season means I need .... or should I say want more shoes.

White crossover flats - Rubi shoes

I thought these will go perfectly with my dresses, and they're very comfortable.

Tan heels - Target

I had tried these shoes on about 3 times in the last month, and seen as they were on special thought I HAD to buy them...right? You can see theyre closed with a ribbon, well when I bought them they had a bit of string ugly tassle kind of thing as the closure. I think the ribbon looks much better, what do you think?

Dress - Kmart

Cardigan - Target

Tan Heels - Target

Pearls - Cheap shop

Only the shoes and pearls are new in this outfit. I had a short string of pearls, but thought I really needed a long string since lately my love of pearls has blossomed unbelievabley.

I wore...

2009-09-19T22:03:00.021+09:30

Yesterday my boyfriend Mikey and I headed down to a beach not too far away for the day. Im completely taking advantage of the lovely weather, so scared that it wont last for long.

And this is what I wore, although i decided to change my shoes at the last minute.

Please excuse my flying crazy hair and squinty look in this next photo, it was mighty windy and glarely along the jetty!

Flower tights

2009-09-16T19:47:00.004+09:30

I bought these flower covered tights recently and they arrived this week! The background is a greenish colour, in the photo they look white, and I actually thought they were when I purchased them.

Im not really sure what to wear them with, I thought maybe with my pink jacket?

Flower tights - Legs 11

Brown boots - Target

Daily dose of Vintage

2009-09-15T12:41:00.018+09:30

With the warm weather just beginning here in South Australia, ive been looking forward to digging my dresses out of my closet.

Here are some lovely vintage clothes I discovered on ebay today.

I would love to make something like this plaid 1950's dress. The fabric is just so bright and cheerful and it has the most adorable yellow flower shaped buttons on the pockets.

Can be found here

This 50's pink dress is so feminine, it would be lovely to wear to a lunch or dinner. I adore dresses with matching belts at the moment like this one and the plaid dress. And the neckline is so sweet too, i can just imagine it with a string of white or pink pearls.

Can be found here

At the moment I love peachy coral colours, when I go into a store I seem to pick out everything in these type of colours! If you have a closer look at the fabric it really is so sweet with a little flower like pattern. You can tell Im loving the 1950's styles right now :)

Can be found here

Although this 70's dress is a bit too short for me personally, i think the wrap around styles are always so flattering. And this dusty pink colour is so lovely.

Can be found here

This 70's dress is my favourite! I meant to bid on it the other day, but was distracted and completely forgot about it :( I love the sleeves (which you cant see too well in this photo) and the tie waist looks so lovely. I must keep my eye out for something similar!

Can be found here

I thought this little jacket was really unique. It would look cute paired with a plain coloured dress and boots.

Can be found here

Thats my daily dose of vintage goodness!

I have been meaning to post these photos for a while, but the delay has

been trying to get this new blog up and running! Sooo these were taken

last month, this outfit I wore out to a night at the

Belgian Beer Cafe with some friends.

I hadn't been the the Belgian Beer Cafe before, it was a really nice place

and had many flavoured beers to try! We tried raspberry and chocolate beers,

I would certainly recommend raspberry...the chocolate was

another story.

Welcome to my new blog Rosie Sue's Closet.

I have started this blog because I love clothes, shoes, accessories, shopping and dressing up and thought this would be the perfect way to

share with you my closet, shopping trips, outfits and looks I heart.

I have been contemplating starting this blog for some time now after looking at and adoring others fashion blogs. I think the main reason I haven't is that it means posting photos of myself lol. Hopefully I will get use to it!

Being a student, I don't usually buy expensive clothes and

am always searching for bargins and sales.

I love pretty, girly clothes and accessories,

and not any one style of fashion in particular.

I would also love love love to make my own clothes

I am working on a skirt at the moment, the first ive made with

a button and zip :)

Lately ive started appreciating and loving vintage style dresses,

im planning on purchasing a pattern after ive completed my skirt

and attempting to make my own.

I hope others enjoy my closet as much as I do :)
