So im sitting in bed writing this post now so i can upload it tomorrow (talk about being prepared) it is literally 42 degrees at the moment.. and there is no way im going to be able to sleep in this stifling heat ahhhh!!!! i will be so thankful for just the teeniest bit of breeze....

When i was taking these photos today my roomie burst in on me mid pose, i actually dont mind making an idiot of myself as i dont have a remote i literally just push the button and run and pose... i have only been living with beth and jess for 6ish months(after living with my bestie jazz for 6 years before) and i was weary on letting them see this unusual side of me haha, but im happy to say im guessing they are used to it now...i need to find a buddy to take pics of me so i can get some more outdoorsish shots...

Im definately a girly girl, i love lace, florals & soft neutral tones... and when i saw this Wish shirt in a catalogue i literally scoured the city until i found one, its such a romantic shirt that can be paired to be pretty or grunged up too.. whenever i wear it i feel like ive stepped out of a victorian novel...

Im so excited for Saturday morning my mum is in town she works in the country as a teacher so i dont get to see her much but were going for coffee and cake..will be so good to catch up!!!

I have been looking at all the winter boots coming in..thats one thing i love about winter is the BOOTS!!!!!!!!! already got my eye on a pair of Mollini thigh high black suede boots that are so amazing.......i already have so many pairs but i cant get enough haha

Okay im going to attempt to sleep now, im playing re-runs of the office to pass the time!!!! mayb ill try counting sheep...one...two....three...
nope its still too hot :(

1 x dress three ways...i guess you would call it, this dress is so old i bought it well over three years ago but i still think its the cutest flower print i have worn it these three ways before but i think that the dress on its own option isnt as nice or mayby thats because i love love love to layer!!!! so i know im still dressing like its spring...damn and its till summer here... what can i say i love spring!!!

This week has been a mad rush of work, coffee dates, thrift shopping and gym training sessions (and after looking at my legs in socks...ahhh im going to put more hours in!!! haha) wheww im exhausted already!!!! im so looking forward to a quiet weekend :)

Im so lusting after a peach coloured lisa Ho dress i saw on my way to work i cant get it out of my mind.....i might go try it on...just to see if it fits haha im not taking any credit cards with me or i think i might have a brain relapse and walk out with it!!!!!!!

Well all i can say is that the wedding was amazing, it was like a big school reunion and i drank wine and danced all night :) Here is where the ceremony was it dosent look like it but just behind me was a massive group of people standing :) it almost started to rain a little bit but it held off thank goodness (sigh) arne't weddings so magical!!!!

So this striped shirt is the one i was telling you about not long ago, the sleeves are amazing, it's definately a winter piece but i couldnt resist wearing it... i had imagined wearing it with some lighter almost charcoal coloured jeans and a black blazer... but because its still so hot i went for the checkered vest and black jeans and booties...(i guess its not that much cooler but oh well)

Now im off to get a chai latte and start my day!!!!

I am planning a V day dinner tonight for me and my flatmate we are pretty much the only single girls in our group and instead of feeling sorry for ourselves im (going to attempt) cooking us a feast having wine and celebrating Single Awareness day hahaha lets see if the house survives!!!....what are your plans for V day??? something terribly romantic??

What is with me and my neutral colours lately, i usually have some sort of colour on me..anyway.... the cream puff top i have on is actually a dress :) but its a slinkyish material so i can cram it into jeans and make a pretty top out of it as well!!!!! i love it i feel so ladylike in it....i also handmade the black bow in my hair as well..ive never been so proud i can actually sew can u believe it!!!

Have a fab V day weekend :) i hope you all get spoiled with too much love, hugs and kisses!!!

P.S - please excuse my messy bed....i never make it..what can i say im a grot!!! ;)

A little peek






You dont probably know much about me im sure!!! so i thought i would do a little about me post...(how self indulgent of me) so heres five little fun facts... :)

  1. Im a full time Jewellery Photographer..and i usually have my camera with me on most occasions, i especially love the vintage raw style and macro!!
  2. I have never travelled out of Australia...(i know your all shouting WHAT thats impossible...but yup i havent...but all that will change when i go to Bali in July woohoo!!!)
  3. One of my dreams is to open up a little vintage boutique one day & travel to Alaska to see the northern lights!!!!
  4. I cant cook...although im mostly skilled at cooking a potato in the microwave and boiling a pan of water..pretty sad i know but i swear its the ovens fault most of the time...
  5. I have two tattoo's one on my wrist of the two birds in flight which me and my best friend/sister got together to symbolize us and the journey we have had together and the other one on my ribcage says 'Abbracciare il viaggio' which means 'Embrace the journey' in italian (as im half Italian)
This has been fun...oh and by the way Yes i took the above pictures if your wondering :)..if you have more questions or want to get to know me better flick me an email i love emails :)

Have a good day lovelies

This was my outfit for St Jeromes Laneway festival yesterday it was one of the best festivals weve had this year i think anyway!! I fell completely in love with Whitley and would run away and elope with him and his sexy sexy voice any day, Mumford and Sons were so fun i almost broke my ankle jumping around in the dance pit :) managed to catch a little bit of The XX and then by far the most amazing of the night was Florence and the machine she blew my freaking mind she had a rocking blue one piece on with lace wings/arm thingys and the most killer silver stilettos i have ever seen her voice was even better live, best part was watching her launch herself into the croud after climbing the scaffold man i love her!!!!!

So how cute are my little 3/4 pants i was in a mass panic to find an outfit and pretty much ransacked the op-shop trying to fing a silk long sleeve top and instead found these :) they are super comfortable and i felt all day like i had just stepped out of Grease haha

(worn with vintage belt,kmart sneakers & sportsgirl top)

Hope you all had a fab weekend
