Dossing

Shorts- Free People . Shirt- c/o Missguided. Jacket- Topshop BoutiqueShoes- TopshopRing- Alexander McQueen

Hey Everyone,

I've had a little blogging break while I've been on a serious job hunt here in Melbourne -which has been hard work. The competitiveness over here is mad, I've had a couple of near misses which has left me feeling a little down beat and slightly uninspired but hopefully something will come up soon! 

Anyways, right now I'll concentrate on showing you some new additions to my wardrobe. I have a massive backlog of things to share with you guys including some lovely pieces I've been sent from back in the UK and some bits and bobs that I've picked up here.

This shirt from Missguided has been amazing for just chucking on and wearing with most things, I really enjoy it tucked into these leather shorts or layered under sweaters and buttoned up to the top. They also have the same print on denim shorts here- which are also amazing. I really have the urge to buy them too and wear them together, is double dip dye denim a step too far?!

I also got these white high tops from Topshop on Chapel street the other week and i've barely taken them off since. They're super comfy and great for everyday strolling, I especially love the mesh side panel detail.

Hope you've all had a good couple of weeks :) Sorry again for my hiatus.

Yoke Shoulder Cut OutTop

Top- Lookbookstore. Shorts- Wrangler. Necklace- Topshop. Shoes- River Island. Bag- Zara
Hello!

Im absolutely loving this top I got from Lookbook Store the other day, I really like the sports luxe vibe it has to it. The cut out arm details and the contrast piping just add a little extra to the clean cut silhouette.

I know i've raved about them before but these wrangler cut offs are an essential item for me right now, such a perfect fit! You can't beat a good fitting pair of denim shorts.

These studded brogues are also a staple item for me, Ive had them for a few years now and my mum keeps trying to get me to throw them out because they are so scruffy but I love them like this and really couldn't bare to part with them!

Hope you've all had a good week so far :)

Colorado Avenue Leggings

Leggings- c/o Lovelysally. Jacket-Allsaints. Jumper- Insight . Shoes- Topshop Unique. Hat- Melbourne Market

Words cannot describe how pleased I was when I received these amazing leggings from the kind people at Lovelysally the other day.I had just had an epidemic washing machine malfunction which resulted in a number of my most treasured items of clothing being completely destroyed.

I havent been able to shop much recently either so im getting a little bit sick of my clothes but I did manage to score this amazing blue beanie for two dollars at the market- obviously I had to buy it in camo too! Im planning on doing some thrifting this week as well so hopefully I will have some more amazing finds to show you all!

I skyped my family back in the UK this evening who are all down in Brighton enjoying the sun! Blue skies and BBQ's definitely made me a little home sick . Hope you've all been getting some good weather too, Its been a little rainy over here at the moment but considering its the middle of winter nothing to moan about!

Happy Sunday everyone :)

p.s I died my hair again, I must be the most indecisive person ever! Hopefully I'll last longer than a couple of weeks with this one!

Slouchy Jersey

Top- Topshop. Skirt- RiverIsland. Jumper- AllSaints. Shoes- Zomp . Bag- Zara. 
Hi guys,

I bought this jersey skirt from River Island just before I left for Australia. I love it so much that I bought it in  black too! Its definitely one of my favourite basics right now- I actually cant believe its taken me this long to blog it!

I cant find this skirt in grey on the River Island website but Ive linked you to a dark purple one instead, I'd definitely be buying if I was over in the UK just now! Its such a gorgeous shade, im really embracing plumbs and mustards at the moment.

This cardigan is actually from All Saints Mens but ive stolen it from my boyfriend due to my lack of clothing at the moment. I cannot believe i have lasted it here one month on one suitcase!! Crazy.

More Pictures and news to come this week so keep your eyes peeeeled!

Hi Guys,

Hello from Melbourne! Its a little chillier over here so Im dressing slightly more for winter, nothing like what im used to back home but i've been wearing lots of hats or scarves with my outfits. There is still so much i want to see and do here but i've been instagramming some of the sights so far including some amazing city views and a llama casually strolling the streets of St Kilda.
