Market

Last saturday I celebrated my 21st by seeing family, having a whole bunch of friendlings over for drinks and then jumping off to another friends 21st!

I don't know how I'll ever top my birthday this year because I couldn't have asked for anything more.

I didn't want a big fuss but I still somehow ended up blowing out some candles at the end of the night. Not only did I get the presents seen below (laptop, 1950s typewriter, mimco wallet, bikini, etc) but I also got some amazing clothes, jewellery, homemade cupcakes and a pair of converse all stars.

Thanks to everyone who wished me a happy birthday in emails and on twitter!

Pony Express - Oracle Fox

wearing: Somedays Lovin + Oracle Fox tee, Topshop cardigan, Soles boots, vintage bag and cotton on skirt.

Ch-Ch-Check out this amazing tee, the result of a collaboration between Somedays Lovin' and the mystical artist and well -loved Australian blogger Mandy Shadforth from Oracle Fox.

For those who don't know Oracle Fox, Mandy is a true 'beach babe' with killer city style.
Mandy says the designs are "inspired by ancient mythology" and are quite similar to some of her fine art pieces, so I feel like I get to own a special little piece of her artwork!

The range of designs are available to purchase online now HERE, so go get some art into "ya"... but really, I can see myself putting this on whenever I go to the beach in summer (I can't wait)!

p.s- Tomorrow is my 21st birthday... I am flipping out! Quite excited.

SEAFOLLY STORE LAUNCH - Miranda

Last week I visited the brand-spanking-new Seafolly store that has just been launched at Miranda Westfields.

If you follow my posts you'll know I've been obsessing over summer lately and seeing all these amazing summer designs and bikinis just brightened the not so distance future!
The store is so bright and I love the wood detail and the hanging chair!
The new store also stocks the limited edition range of Seafolly designs (which you can see in the amazing front display - above).
My favourite picks would be the adorable floral shorts, the bright green bikini designs and the oversized Seafolly totes.

Below I've also made a movie of the store and the lovely staff on the day! Thanks Seafolly for having me!

I wore: Vintage denim jacket, Seafolly maxi dress, Soles boots via MHQ and vintage belt.

wolf pack

It's a bit gloomy in sydney right now but Im hoping it will clear up because I'm going on a little over night road trip down the coast tomorrow. (Wooh!)

I'm hoping it will be one of many for this spring and summer.

In other news, it's my birthday next week! I'm usually not so excited for my birthday but I feel like it will be a good one this year. I don't really want that many gifts for it but the presents I think I'm getting are amazing! (Mac Book Pro, mimco wallet, converse all stars, laptop case...I couldn't ask for anything more! I feel spoilt with that.)

This vintage inspired lace maxi skirt was handmade by 19 yr old designer of Casper & Pearl.

wearing: Wolf tee - Somedays Lovin', Lace skirt - Casper & Pearl, bag - don't ask amanda and DIY friendship bracelets.

Letters and Leather

(wearing: DIY Letterform Jacket, vintage lace singlet, blue short from Material Attention [on sale], vintage boots, vintage bag, DIY friendship bracelets and guess watch)

Check out this wicked jacket that you can personalise yourself with sew on letters! It's from Letterform Jackets and I plan on adding more over time and collecting badges on my travels over the next couple years to cover it with.
The jacket has a secret zip so it's easy to sew on letters. Did you notice mine? SpinDizzyFall :)

Also my collection of DIY friendship bracelets is now 2 (and a half! One more in the making.)
As you can see in photos my puppy was with me so I asked her to jump in on a photo with me!

Hope everyone (in sydney) is enjoying this amazing sunshine!
