Spring!

Hey guys,

Hope you all had a good weekend :). Im still trying to get used to this short hair situation and testing out different ways to style it but I'm slowly coming around to the idea- its definitely less maintenance and it feels a lot healthier now which is always a bonus.

Ive already shown you my acid wash mom jeans in an earlier post, but because they were so perfect when I tried them on, of course i had to buy them in grey too!  I could happily ditch low rides for these beauties because they are so damn comfy and I love the retro feel to them (I may have also bought them in one more colour- I have mom jeans problems).

These shoes were another love at first sight situation, you know when you feel like you just cant leave the shop without them because it will be a life long regret?! Maybe slightly dramatic but thats what shoes can do to me.

I'm very very glad that we're coming into Spring in Melbourne at the moment, firstly because everyone loves a sunny day and secondly because the lighter evenings mean I can come home from work and get some blog photos- yaaay. The weather has been a little restricting lately so hopefully this will all change soon :)

Happy Tuesday!

Transitional

Jumper- Zara. Gillet- Topshop. Skort- Zara. Bag- Ebay. Shoes- Zara. Hat- Sportsgirl

 Hey everyone,

Im feeling a little in weather limbo at the moment here in Melbourne, we're in that awkward transition stage where its too warm to dress for winter but too cold to be in spring gear! And its round about this point where im sick to death of my winter wardbrode and want so many new things which is VERY dangerous for my bank balance! Eeeek.

 Im also pleased to announce the arrival of my new Zara boots which I have been trying to track down for a few weeks now. Imagine my delighted little face when I walk into Zara on pay day weekend to see these little beauties sitting on the shelf in my size!

I decided to give my hair a little DIY makeover too! I was getting really fed up with my long hair and the maintenance that comes with it so hacked it off in a moment of spontaneity! Naturally i regretted it two days later ! But is aaall good, its feeling a lot healthier and i've talked myself into liking it by saying i've been kind to my hair in letting it grow in healthily. What do you guys think?! Maybe i'm just not used to the change!

Hope you've all been having a good week!

 Hey Everyone,

Im so glad to be back blogging again after a two week stint offline (AHH) . I decided to take some time off to get settled back into Melbourne life and back onto the job hunt with full force! I've had some exciting meetings with some great companies these past two weeks which is very exciting.

I get a lot of questions from readers about my Uni course/employment aspirations so I want to keep you guys up to date with in the upcoming weeks with my ventures in the fashion/marketing industry in Melbourne and any advice i can give to you all as I seek new opportunities :). 

For those of you that don't know, I studied Fashion Management at Robert Gordon's University in Aberdeen. It was such an amazing course with loads of great modules and projects which I feel have set me up with some great experiences and knowledge for a career in fashion.

If you have any questions or queries about the course or just want a little bit of advice, feel free to send me and email and i'll be happy to give some guidance!

I hope you've all been having an amazing week so far and I cant wait to show you guys some more outfits from over here n Melbourne!

Bye Scotland

Dress- ZARA. Necklace- H&M. Bag- Ebay. Hat- RiverIsland. Shoes- ZARA.

Hey Guys, 

So this is going to be my last post from Scotland for a little while, I cant believe im trading in this beautiful summer weather for a cold winter in Melbourne! I'm swapping the sandals and sunnies for snoods and boots and Im not quite sure how I feel about this at the moment... It requires a complete wardrobe overhaul.

Ive been wearing these sandals just about everyday since I got them. They're not the comfiest of shoes because the sole is pretty heavy so ive been getting a little bruising over the top of my foot but I still cant help but wear them! I also needed to get the wear out of this pretty little mini jumper dress from Zara, its such a cute fit and I love the texture and print so its going to be sad to send it to the back of my wardrobe for a few months. 

I fly tomorrow evening so im going to try and cram in some more summery snaps for you guys before I jet off :) 

Hope you've all been soaking up the sun and making the most of the weather too.

Shirt- ZARA. Jeans- Topshop. Bag- Ebay, Shoes- ZARA.

Hey Guys,

Today I decided to chuck on all things comfy which also happen to be a collection of some of my favourite pieces at the moment too. After a very busy and fun filled weekend in Edinburgh with my sisters I needed some chilled out comfy clothes to start the week. It was really sad to say bye to my oldest sister but we had such a fun weekend shopping, eating, drinking cocktails and harassing a man and his Rickshaw. Poor guy had to cart three tipsy/indecisive/ singing sisters around the hills a dips of Edinburgh for a good 15 minutes until we decided to just get food and go home!

This week Im mostly getting organised for the big move back to Australia in a weeks time! There are so many things to sort out before I leave -my mind is in overdrive. Packing a winter wardrobe is also a little challenging on a one suitcase limit. AAAHH. I have no idea how i'm going to work around this?!

Hope you've all had a good weekend too :)

Hey Guys,

Im wearing an awful lot of Zara today but it just cant be helped because they have so many nice things at the moment! I absolutely love this retro style jumper, its got such a unique print and will be amazing for when I head back to winter in Melbourne in just over a weeks time! 

Im really excited to be heading back at the same time its going to be a shock going back over to dark nights and cold weather! No skirts and sandals for me for a few months :( . Im trying to stock up on some winter wardrobe staples but its proving very difficult while all the shops are in full swing summer mode at the moment! 

Hope you've all been having a good week. Im off to beautiful Edinburgh this weekend to spend some time with my sisters before I head off, I cant wait :)

Floral and Mesh

Jacket- H&M. Dress- Lavish Alice. Bag- Zara. Shoes- Shelikes.

Hey Guysss,

I have another little beauty from Lavish Alice to show you all, I cannot stress how much Im loving their new collection! This dress really caught my eye in particular because of the shape, I love the high neck three quarter length sleeve- it even has a cute little slit at the side and the floral print is perfect for summer :)

Ive worn it with this mesh bomber jacket to add a little edge. I find myself constantly in leather jackets so this one is a nice summer alternative to change it up a little bit!

Happy Monday everyone :)

Bowler Bag

Bag- Zara

Zara has some pretty amazing bags right now but this one has got to be my favourite, why is pay day so far away?!

Shoes....

1. BCBGMAXAZRIA        2. ZARA.

 

 

I would love for both of these pairs of sandals to be in my shoe collection in time for summer. I've been looking for a pair of shoes with a metallic heel for a while now but haven't found any I've liked until I came across these BCBG beauties.

 

These Zara combination print sandals are equally as amazing and as essential for summer. If only my bank balance could facilitate this...

 

 

 

Beach Day

Hey Everyone.

Ive got a bit of a casual beachy look for you guys today ! Ive heard its snowing back in the UK so I feel a little bit bad for continuously posting summery looks but the tables will be turned in a couple of months and I'll be jealous of all you guys ! A lot of people seem to think it doesnt get cold in the winter over in Australia but in Melbourne it really does!

Its my birthday tomorrow and forecast to be 39 degrees, Its going to be so strange because im so used to in snowing every year for it! Time to finally  re-live my childhood dreams and get the bouncy castle out for my Birthday Party.

Im also dying to show you all my new tattoo but its still healing just now and needs a couple of little finishing touches :)

Hope you've all been having a good week.

Hi Everyone.

Just wanted to show you this skirt from Zara, (I KNOW something else from Zara, its not my fault they are so bang on this season, i cant help it!) I love the Hawaiian print and the unique cut of this skirt, I cant wait to wear it more in the Summer :).

I've had a lot of you asking about the bag in my last post from Zara, I got it last season so i'm not sure if you'll still be able to buy it with their speedy stock turn around but if i see it come back into stock or a similar one else where you guys will be the first to know!! Promise.

Anyways, Just a quick post for you guys tonight because I better get back on the books...  :(
