sunday shades

The girls at Market HQ have read my mind because these are the shades I've been dreaming of!

I'm a big fan of round sunnies and these babies by Mink Pink are the perfect size for my taste and a lovely pattern.

These photos were taken on a little afternoon blogger meet up (more photos to come) and could not be a greater contrast to those taken by the wicked team at MHQ for their latest lookbook. I can't wait till the heat starts creeping back and the smell of spring is in the air!

In a Dream

wearing: denim jacket - vintage, maxi skirt - Evin Twin via Market HQ, Yellow polish - sportsgirl, Tee - French Connection, Necklace & jewellery - vintage, Boots - Soles via Market HQ and 'We'd Seen Each Other In A Dream' tote by Fieldguided via Molten Store.

I found this statement necklace in an opshop mixed in a bag of tangled beads and chains all for $3. I wore this outfit to Uni and took along this sweet tote by Fieldguided that you can get at Molten Store.

Excellent for carrying huge ass textbooks around all day!

The designer of fieldguided, Anabela, has a blog of her own (here).

I'm having a 'rest' day today. Making some tea and catching up on uni work (code for looking over assignments while watching Seinfeld and Sex and The City).

Crochet Flowers [Plus a Giveaway]

As you can probably tell these photos were also taken when Sydney had the mid winter 'Spring' week. Can you believe it, bare legs in winter?!

I bought this cute little crochet bag on one of my trips to Indonesia. Lovely and cheap as chips too.

To celebrate reaching over 1000 google followers I'd say a giveaway is in order.

One lucky reader will have this classic handbag from the french vintage etsy store 'bOmode' land on their doorstep!

seaside brunch

wearing: jeans - cheap monday, tee - material attention, shoes - rubi and vintage belt, jewellery and bag.

Not long ago, back when sydney had that amazing preview (tease) of spring time weather, I was treated to an amazing meal by the sea.



I haven't always eaten much seafood and I have been wanting to try different seafood dishes so I decided to order the 'pan seared Tasmanian scallops with cauliflower puree, corn & chorizo' (as you can see below). The taste was how I imagined it and everything went so well together that I'd probably order it again! We also had yummy (HOT) bread, some chips and finished it off with some crazy rich desserts. Chai latte and sparkling water is also standard.

I am really looking forward to the warm weather to come, not only because I love the summer and everything that comes with it but also because my 21st is right around the corner (next month!)

MAD LOVE - Behind the scenes. [feat. Anja]

A couple of weeks ago I visited the lovely team at The Wonderland when they shot the new collection 'White Dreams' for label Mad Love designed by Gill Lawrence.

The set was all white and the amazing Anja Konstantinova fit right in with her lovely blonde hair and overall look.

Here are my behind the scenes shots from the shoot and I hope you like them!



After the shoot Jess (tuula), Nicole (confident liar) and myself grabbed a yummy lunch on Crown St. Although I actually had something off the all-day breakfast menu!

snuggle

I am back at uni after a nice holiday break filled with sneaky road trips and of course splendour to top it off. It's still so damn cold here in Sydney that this (above) is what I wear to uni and even though I love my suede booties, I can't resist putting on snuggley boots when I get home. These red wool boots with buttons are my latest loves!



Look how fluffy!

Wearing: boots from Aukoala

Woodfordia - Day 3

Splendour In The Grass - Day 3

wearing: button up dress - vintage Versace



The last day of Splendour was wicked.

The spirit of the festival was peaking and the bands on the Sunday were amazing!

After our standard big breakfast we did a little last day exploring.

I had a crazy time taking photos of crowds as there were balls released, fireworks and even a huge mosh of people stampeding down the amphitheatre hill that even outshone the amazing 'Cloud Control' as they played.

Coldplay was my highlight and I have to admit that there was "almost" tears when they played my favourite song.



I still can't believe that I had this experience and actually got to go with the General Pants team and see everything that happens behind the scenes at the festival. Not only that but the team could not have been any cooler and looking back it was so much fun just hanging around with them even when we were just eating breakfast or having after hours drinks.

So a big thank you to the Team for taking me and Luke along and looking out for us like adopted children of the GP family!
