Having travelled interstate weekly in my corporate job for months now, I have found that there is just not enough time, energy or material (casual outfits are a rarity, so nothing too exciting to post) to keep up MLO the way I want it. <br />
<br />
Instead of continuing half hearted, I've decided to shut down the blog.<br />
<br />
For now it has served its purpose, for me to explore how social media works, I've learnt a lot along the way and had heaps of fun. More importantly, I've discovered my love for photography and want to spend me free time developing my skills and creativity in this area. Please feel free to come by my<a href="http://www.flickr.com/myphotoevolution"> flickr account</a>, I am aiming to adding something there at least every two weeks.<br />
<br />
Well, thank you to all readers, it's been great to have you! I'll leave you with my favourite MLO pics from the last 8 months... peace.<br />

I've been travelling so much, I've been needing some down time on the weekends. More updates soon.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, you may like to feast your eyes on my new treasure - these red heels. I am so stoked I found them one evening in Sydney walking back from dinner, window shopping. I found the cutest shoe shop <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/alex-alex-shoes/110289086936" target="new">Alex & Alex</a> and had to go back! I've since looked on the net and it seems, there is quite an Alex & Alex trend out there...<br />

I know, many of us will be sick of what sometimes seems like stereotyping our bodies. But then I do have to say that I have a few friends who have a clearly different body shape than mine and thus look better in very different clothing styles.<br />
<br />
Long story short, I decided to explore a little more online, as it would be nice to know what others look good in, not just how to dress myself. So to oust myself (wowee anyone with eyes can see on my outfit photos), that I am somewhere between a pear and hourglass, probably mainly due to my swimmer shoulders... Emphasis on the waist always looks good on me and with clenched teeth I admit it's mostly dresses that are the most flattering (so unpractical...). What about you?<br />

I found three great websites, that take you through working out your body type, but then also give very specific dress styles for it.<br />
<br />
Check it out and then please let me know what body shape you are:<br />

I'd recently read about it in <a href="http://www.taste.com.au/delicious/">delicious </a>magazine and as an apparent SA icon, had to check it out. I love the fresh food available here in South Oz. And we were not disappointed at Willunga Farmer's market. I bought everything I laid an eye on, ah well it was just too exciting!<br />
<br />
What I am wearing is a recent find from my weekend in Sydney, did a bit of opshopping and found this blue jumper dress. <br />

<br />
Using fashion as a creative outlet means to push myself more and more beyond what I would have worn in the past. And it's funnnnnnnnnn.<br />

This time, I went to Mt. Barker. I was only planning to go to opshops (a la second-hand) but to my surprise I found this full on vintage shop! In this little country town.<br />
<br />
It's called Eclectica and run by Alison. A vintage clothing collector herself, she started the shop about two years ago. Clothing ranges from late 1800s to the 1960s. There are plenty of accessories too, including beautiful hats handmade by a local artist. Prizes are property vintage range i.e. over $65 for anything that's not small, but come on people, the hard work has been done for you.<br />
<br />
If you are ever in the area (South Australians?), check it out:<br />

And so I was wondering whether there are any cool music that have vintage clothes in it. I am sure there are many, but the one that I discovered, seemed so obvious and at the same time I'd never heard of it before. <br />
<br />
It's this song by Paul McCartney - Vintage Clothes. I can't seem to find a music video for it, but the <a href="http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Vintage-Clothes-lyrics-Paul-McCartney/0F87CECE7FDDAA5F482572E0000AD9A7">lyrics </a>are very true.<br />

<br />
There is also a short interview with P.M. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOTDr6GdeJo">here </a>on the video. "What was going out is coming back"... Pretty cool, he's got still clothes from the 60s.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I've decided I am going on a mission to find cool music video either with visual inspiration on vintage clothes or lyrics or maybe the atmosphere... Please let me know which ones you have come across.Bechttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17207986421745224978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164244498876943257.post-85847754473135907812010-08-02T14:00:00.001+10:002010-08-02T14:00:04.628+10:00Winter casual layering comfort<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

A Cat of Impossible ColourAlways looking out for fellow opshoppers, I recently discovered the New Zealand blog 'A Cat of Impossible Colour' and am delighted by Andrea's style. It's very vintage, sweet and creative (and usually looks very comfy which is always a bonus in my books). Talking about books, Andrea is a writer originally from Zimbabwe with her next piece of writing being published next March!<br />
<br />
Anyway, back to opshopping: I am dying to go to New Zealand now for some good old treasure hunt through the opshops.Based on Andrea's finds (the majority of her clothes are thrifted). Take it away:<br />

PS. You might have noticed that today's post is titled "Raving about... ". It's just a small title change from what we used to call 'Mitzi Delight'. This is one of the few changes you will see over the next four weeks. Stay tuned.Bechttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17207986421745224978noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164244498876943257.post-53437520564336175742010-07-26T14:00:00.002+10:002010-07-26T14:00:02.953+10:00Starring as: SecretaryAnd off to another work week. I want to find some ways of spicing up my work outfits - maybe with this polka dot scarf as belt? Well the shoes are really a match to make it a little funkier, but unfortunately not something I could really wear at work (toes=taboo).<br />

Leggings worns as pants!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__3H-KWLqPvI/TEGezhScyBI/AAAAAAAABNQ/KO9aQ_04YGM/s1600/lindsleggings.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__3H-KWLqPvI/TEGezhScyBI/AAAAAAAABNQ/KO9aQ_04YGM/s800/lindsleggings.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494847628314986514" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br />Please tell me, since when is gym gear alright to wear in public places like shopping centres, schools, band gigs as a fashion item? Would you wear tights without anything too? Most likely not!<br /><br />Why not? Because it's pretty much like walking around in your underpants. Or would you wear your bikini at the airport?<br /><br />Apart from the pure inappropriateness (is this a word? I sure hope so) - cover your private parts please - wearing leggings by themselves makes an outfit look incomplete.<br /><br />And to point out the obvious, it just isn't flattering for most body shapes.<br /><br />I bet opinions will be split again as I can see on this <a href="http://www.chictopia.com/forums/Ask+a+stylist/topics/Leggings+as+Pants-5318">chictopia discussion</a>, but please let me know via voting button: do you wear leggings as pants yes or no?<br /><br /><h2 class="title">Would you wear leggings as pants?</h2><br /><div class="widget-content" id="widget-content"><br /><iframe allowtransparency="true" name="poll-widget8724386714562678160" src="http://www.google.com/reviews/polls/display/8724386714562678160/blogger_template/run_app?txtclr=%23666666&lnkclr=%235588aa&chrtclr=%235588aa&font=normal+normal+100%25+Verdana%2C+sans-serif&hideq=true&purl=http%3A%2F%2Fmitzilovesopshops.blogspot.com%2F" style="border: medium none; width: 100%;" frameborder="0" height="140"></iframe><br /></div>Bechttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17207986421745224978noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164244498876943257.post-48089755525298363972010-07-20T10:05:00.001+10:002010-07-25T19:28:21.139+10:00A French Connection<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">What is it about the French that I find so fascinating? Is it their impeccable taste, their ability to make everything look like a romantic escape or their sweet and sour demeanour that gets me every time? Well, while I might still be stumped by these lingering questions, what I do know is that this happy threesome has created many more for me. While I don't know their life stories, I can see by simple blog connection that these three are a tight knit bunch. While all of their blogs come from different inspirations, they reveal the same days/outings, but through very different eyes/lenses. This reminds me why I love the blogging world so much, you get to peak into someone's life, wardrobe, thoughts but just how they want you to.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qw2-C5NTOts/TD0HgDi0mNI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/kANgT5fv44E/s1600/triotonyadelineme.jpg"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_qw2-C5NTOts/TD0HgDi0mNI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/kANgT5fv44E/s800/triotonyadelineme.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493555367750441170" style="cursor: pointer;" border="0" /></span></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">From left: </span><a href="http://www.sachadumain.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Sacha Dumain</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">, Tony Stone (</span><a href="http://wolvesandbucks.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Wolves & Bucks</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">),</span><a href="http://adelinerapon.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> Adeline Rapon</span></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="http://adelinerapon.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Adeline Rapon</span></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">This girl has been amazing me ever since I stumbled across her blog a few months ago.

I haven't been taken back by a photo in a while, but once I found this blog, I have been inspired ever since with my own photography. Fashion falls into his blog by default not by force, he makes you want to be there with him looking through that lens to see what it is he sees. A true talent in my amateur eyes. This photo got me, I love his sandals and long hair. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.sachadumain.com/2010/07/mathieu-berthemy/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qw2-C5NTOts/TD0LE60obsI/AAAAAAAAAaM/HA3MEqmuI38/s800/sacha.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493559299599265474" style="cursor: pointer;" border="0" /></span></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><a href="http://wolvesandbucks.blogspot.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Wolves & Bucks</span></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">From what I can fathom, this is Miss Adeline's man. This is the beauty behind the camera for Adeline. Despite Tony's amazing work on her blog though, his own lifestyle shots are a real treat in themselves. I just love how his photos change between her blog and his own. His use of colour is so delicious and homemade. I love this photo, so casual and a moment between friends. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://wolvesandbucks.blogspot.com/2010/06/buckfriends60.html"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qw2-C5NTOts/TD0NEz5Mm-I/AAAAAAAAAaU/yVAXuOX3I8o/s800/wolves.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493561496762620898" style="cursor: pointer;" border="0" /></span></a></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">So now I dream of being holed up in a rundown Parisian apartment with nothing but bed hair, an oversized nightie, cigarette and bare feet to accompany my sublimely French life.
