Time to start up the barbie, have a beer and listen to triple J's hottest 100 while in shorts and thongs (that's 'flip-flops' for you foreigners who think thongs are an undergarment, ha). It's Australia Day tomorrow, a day to celebrate the founding of modern day 'white' Australia. If you live or grew up in Australia, you'd know exactly what I'm talking about. White button-up blouse and denim skirt c/o boohoo.com.au Necklace c/o Emclectic Collection I decided to style up a (super vague, loosely) 'Aussie' themed post with Australian flag colours - red, white and blue. In the spirit of my childhood growing up in Australia, I've gone super casual, and spent the afternoon climbing trees like I did in my primary school days. Although I still climb trees every opportunity I get, even at age 23 :P I'm going to be having quite a chill day myself, no work and no responsibilities, I'll definitely have my radio on and hopefully t...

Chanel scarf, jewellery from Hawkeye Vintage Jacket from Hawkeye Vintage Glassons top Kookai skirt Senso Taffy II heels I have to say, I rarely ever dress too classy. It's usually ripped jeans, or printed pants, or Black Milk bodysuits, etc etc. I guess I have a kinda quirky style, but for this shoot I definitely went outside my comfort zone. My housemate Mel shot these photos, and she is very girly, into her pretty clothes and jewellery. So I let her style me up in these gorgeous Chanel accessories from Hawkeye Vintage!

Aloha! It's been a while since my last post. There is a lot going on in my life right now, and I'm really enjoying every aspect of it. I've been feeling inspired, healthy & happy :) I've started my Masters (The people that I'm studying Music Therapy with are all incredible people - I guess creative types and helpers are drawn to each other), ended a long-term relationship which was unhealthy and (soon) I am moving house - it's like a fresh start. Sometimes you just need that in your life; for me, right now is one of those times. What better way to celebrate a fresh start than with new shoes - I've been sent a gorgeous pair of silver leather sandals from Alohas, and they are shiny/pretty, good quality, unique and practical. Pretty much fulfils my requirements for a good shoe, and they have been running a high rotation lately, even if the weather in Melbourne has been a little weird. The leather is buttery soft, and they are super easy to slip on an...

Witchery V-splice tee | Lorna Jane Manhattan mesh jacket | Staple the Label skirt (similar here ) | Nike sky hi dunks | Supre fedora (similar here ) | Zara clutch (similar here ) So the season we all love - Summer - is over. Although Melbourne is surely bound to have a few more scorchers, beach days are over as everyone goes back to uni/school/work schedules and the leaves start falling off the trees. No more flowy crochet tops and tiny denim shorts, so what do you wear inbetween the heat of Summer and the coat-appropriate Winter days? The answer is - get yourself some layering pieces in Khaki. Yes, khaki. Army green. That icky colour that you get when you mix all your paints together. It's actually quite a versatile colour, it goes well with anything black or white, but also with your favourite denim jeans and with some nautical stripes. It's popping up everywhere as a wearable colour this year. It's official, khaki green is in. While I wouldn't ad...

Glassons top // Thailand markets skirt // The New Punjab bangle // Lovisa ring, necklace & temp. tattoos // Witchery espadrilles When this little gem of a bangle arrived on my doorstep, it brought a little more sparkle into my life. For anyone that knows me, I ADORE anything sparkly, shiny or glittering. Glitter and sparkle represents the stuff that seems to be disappearing from our ever busy lifes - creativity, soul, yearning and simple carelessness. It reminds me glitter paint, and making our own necklaces in primary school; it reminds me of crazy imaginations and fairy costumes. As soon as I put it on, I knew what kind of outfit it needed to go with - something flowy, free and completely comfortable. This white flowy top instantly makes me feel like a bohemian gypsy and I love it!! My maxi skirt, which I bought in the markets at Thailand, is not only one of my most comfortable skirts, but also involves one of my favourite trips where I got lost in the culture a...

Sportsgirl jacket, crop top & sunnies Cotton On skirt Nike dunks I managed to make my first post of 2015 before the end of January. (just!) I spent the first few weeks of this year in Japan, one of the most incredible countries I've seen. It was freezing though, I don't think there was a single dayover 10 degrees! I'm glad to be back to slightly warmer weather where I can bare my legs :) If you haven't seen any photos, check out my Instagram for a few snaps! While it's great to be back, sorting out my whole backlog of work emails, letters, responsibilities etc etc has been a major pain in the butt. Since this is my first post, I thought I'd share my goals for the year. I know whenever a blogger or anyone for that matter talks about "New Year's Resolutions" it's a big fat lump of cheesiness and cliche, but honestly I don't think I could start any year without setting myself a few goals. People tend to make unrealistic reso...

You're probably all sick of the constant Melbournian rant of "ugh, thanks for the four-seasons-in-a-day weather" but here it is again. Just when I think I can put my coats into storage and bring out my 'kinis, we get more stormy/rainy (cue: strange) days where I don't know whether to wear a skirt and brave the morning cold, or wear jeans and scorch in the afternoon sun, and either way I have to make sure I have an umbrella on me or else risk getting drenched. The one positive thing about Spring being a mixture of everything is I get to actually wear all of my wardrobe, both hot & cold appropriate clothing. I honestly didn't think I'd have a chance to wear my new Cameo the Label knit jumper before my Japan trip in January, but turns out woohoo I can :D Cameo the Label The Way knit (purchase here , here and here ) Staple the Label sting-ray shorts (purchase here and here ) Sportsgirl sunglasses (shop the range here ) This knit i...

Stripes. I have an inexplainable attraction to stripes. I seriously have about 5 blue & white striped tops in my wardrobe and everytime I see one in a shop I have to pick it up/try it on! I think it's because I'm slightly obssessed with anything nautical. A sailor dress and anything with anchors is also on my wishlist. Anyway, I've been searching for the perfect striped skirt for a while now, and I finally found one when I was on my way home from work last week. Staple the Label cross-over shirt / Country Road neoprene stripe skirt / Evil Twin bralette / Rayban aviators from Vision Direct My other wish-list item that has finally been fulfilled is a white shirt. Just plain, no embellishments, no cut outs, no weird collars, no see-through bits and definitely not one of those old people shirts - something classic but modern. It's surprising how difficult it was to find one. This Staple the Label baby is a beautiful soft material that drapes over my ...
