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!

Ombre Fur

Dress- Topshop. Coat- Dakota501. Shoes- Topshop- Bag- Ebay

 Hey Everyone,

Ive been meaning to show you this ombre fur coat for a little while now, I actually instagramed it a few weeks ago but hadn't gotten round to blogging it properly yet! I fell in love with it as soon as i saw it and knew it needed to be the next addition to my Winter wardrobe before it was too late!

Im also loving this burgundy dip hemmed midi dress from Topshop it's been a favourite of mine recently while i've been in my winter/spring land of limbo!

I hope you've all been having a great couple of last weeks of summer back in the UK and all my Aussie friends I hope you're all gearing up for a great Spring & Summer! The weather in Melbourne on Sunday was the perfect introduction for whats to come :)

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!

Pinafore

Pinafore- Topshop. Crop Top- ASOS. Shoes- Sportgirl. Bag- Zara

Hey Everyone,

Hope you've all had a good weekend! Sorry for my hiatus the last couple of days, I kind of lost all concept of time this weekend with Australia day celebrations which resulted in a collection of unsightly and now faded   patriotic "I  <3 Australia" tattoo transfers on my arms (hence the long sleeved top). Anyone got any tips for getting rid of these?!

Ive been wearing this pinafore from Topshop a lot lately, I decided to customise it a bit by cutting off the bottom hem to give it a little bit more of a rough edge. I shortened it a tiny bit too so it wouldn't make me look so small in flats!

These Sportsgirl black plimsolls were also a surprisingly worthwhile buy. Since misplacing my converse the other day I really needed some trainers to just chuck on for daily errands and these have been perfect.

Hope you all had a good weekend too :)

Athletic Leggings

Jumper- Topshop. Leggings- Nike. Boots- Topshop. Bag- Sportsgirl

Hey Guys,

Hope you've all a nice week! I'm really enjoying these athletic leggings at the moment, theyre so comfy and easy to throw on. They're really good for pretending like you're off to the gym when you're just dossing about too haha.

This bag is one of my favourites just now its simple but effective, I love the spike detailing it adds a little something extra :)

I haven't really taken these boots off my feet since receiving them, love them !

Happy weekend everyone :)

New boots!

Top- Sportsgirl. Dress (Worn underneath)- Miss Selfridge. Bag- Ripcurl. Boots- Topshop

Hi Guys,

Im back after a small Birthday celebratory break! Firstly I need to show you these amazing boots from Topshop that Id been after for aages. Yet again I found myself torn between these and the all black version but decided to step a little out of my black-boot-addiction comfort zone and opted for these! Baby steps...

 I'm really into crochet just now thanks to Free People's latest collection and managed to source this cute little tunic at SportsGirl. Ive grown quite found of the shop since moving to Australia, although initially going by the name I definitely didnt think it would be my thing.  Its kind of like a smaller scale, more expensive Topshop with a bit more of an Aussie centred collection season wise.

I know I keep promising you all some behind the scenes snaps from work but they are definitely coming this week !!

Happy Tuesday :)

Flares!



Trousers- Topshop . top- AllSaints . Bag - Topshop .



Its taken me a good 5 years but i think i can finally say that im getting sick of skinny jeans.... :o

SO i have invested in my first pair of flares of the season. I was kind of apprehensive to start with because they are slightly reminiscent of some of the trousers i used to wear when i was younger back in the Tammy Girl days.... but actually, I'm totally loving them!

They've only had one outing so far for some last minute holiday purchases this morning but they will definitely be making more appearances in the very near future.

Right, Im off to go and exchange some euros for holidays now, so so very exciting! I will get some lovely snaps of Portugal to share with you all don't worry :)
