Summer in Red

Princess Polly Dress, Supre Berret, Famous Footwear Shoes, Sportsgirl Bag

Long time, no post! Today I am wearing this pretty little red dress from Princess Polly and I don't think there's ever been a dress that is more me. I love the frills, the off the shoulder details and the colour - I've always been a sucker for red dresses! I can see myself wearing this dress all summer long.

Besides enjoying my freedom from uni by laying around on the Gold Coast beaches these past two weeks, I have not been up to much at all! I finally feel in holiday mode and I get to graduate this week finally, which is so exciting! I am still in shock that I have made it to this day but can't wait to start work and lead a much more balanced life of only working 40 hour weeks (instead of 60 hour weeks with assignments on top as I have been doing the past year!) Next week I am then heading off to Bali for a much needed holiday and I'm hoping I'll be able to get a post up on this blog to document my time there.

Hopefully, actually having free weekends again next year will mean I have much more time to focus on this blog which I am really looking forward to. Expressing myself creatively has always been important to me and I know my mental and emotional health suffers when I deprive myself of time to be creative. So next year focusing on this blog and developing myself creatively is going to be a big focus of mine. There are quite a few things I've been wanting to try and experiment with on my blog and I have a feeling next year is going to be my most creative and productive year yet. So keep your eye on this space, I'm hoping to make some big changes and a whole lot of progress here in the new year.

Casual Sunday in this Cosy Linen Playsuit

Supre Linen Jumpsuit, Supre Beret, Dissh Boutiques Top, Betts Shoes, Tiffany & Co Necklace

Happy weekend guys! I've had a very busy week this week and the next few weeks for me are not going to be any easier as my final ever exams inch closer every day. I have so much study to do, so my next few posts will be short and sweet! But I can't wait to be done with uni soon and hopefully have the time to put more effort into this blog. 

Anyway, I was sent this cute linen jumpsuit from Supre the other week, and honestly, when I first unwrapped this playsuit from the parcel, I didn't like it. I was actually not planning on turning this outfit into a blog post. But after styling it with these boots and a cute beret, I'm actually really loving this outfit. Plus the relaxed fit is super comfy and perfect when you've just eaten a buffet lunch!

Hope you guys are all well! Speak soon,

What Winter? | Daisy Dresses & Shearling Jackets

Dissh Boutique Dress, Dissh Boutique Jacket, Windsor Smith Boots, Torga Optical Sunglasses

Just a quick little outfit of the day post today to say hi! Firstly can I say where the heck has winter disappeared to? I wore this cute daisy dress from Dissh Boutiques yesterday while exploring New Farm in Brisbane on an unusually warm Winter's day. And here I was all geared up for the so-called coldest winter of the century.

Anyway, I love the pattern and the colour, and feel like it's perfect layered with a shearling coat to give just a little bit of warmth.  It was such a fun day, but now I am back into the uni work. I am currently on my last ever week of 'holidays' before I become a vet! It's so surreal! And while I'm a little scared (or actually a lot), I'm also super excited. But first another 3 assignments, 4 exams and 12 weeks of placement to battle through. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and little life update. I really want to write some more in-depth posts soon. I was thinking about my journey through vet school, or my university experience in general, and how I've been juggling uni with my blog this whole time. I think it would be a great way for me to reflect on these last few years of my life that are quickly coming to an end, and so that you guys can get to know me a little better. Let me know what you think in the comments below!

Twist Detail Summer Maxi

Luck and Trouble Dress, H&M Hat, Famous Footwear Shoes, Pandora Bracelet, Tiffany & Co Necklace

Yay, my first outfit post of the year! And it's in this stunning maxi dress available form Universal store. I love summer and being able to wear maxi dresses. They're so effortless yet so stylish! In particular I love the twist detail of the bodice in this one and with the short sleeves it gives me major vintage vibes like the kind of dress my Mum used to wear to be stylish back in the day and that only makes me more obsessed with this style! 

Anyway, I hope you are all well and I hope to be posting a lot more blog posts soon!

Summer Evenings in my Little Orange Polka Dot Dress

Supre Orange Polka Dot Dress, Assembly Jacket, Converse Sneakers, The Horse Watch, Pandora Bracelet

This time of year is my favourite. Not only for the festivities that take place but also the warm, pleasant evenings and amazing sunsets at the end of the day. It's so nice to go for an evening beach stroll after your dinner, watching the sky turn from blue to orange and orange to purple. I also love the organisation mode I get in; reflecting on my progress over the past year and setting goals and making plans for the next year. Anyway, this will be my last post before Christmas, so I hope you all have a Merry Christmas! I'll be posting again next week, so stay tuned! 

Also, let me know if the comments below, what are your goals for the coming year? They could be career, fitness, health, study or beauty related! Either way, I'd love to hear! Hearing other's goals gives me extra inspiration and motivation for setting and achieving mine!

I'm keeping it short and sweet tonight because I'm so tired and keen to get to sleep! Just thought I should let you guys know how in love I am with these peachy coloured culottes from Glassons at the moment. They can be dressed up or down! I feel like they'd also look really cute with a T-shirt and sneakers. I might have to try this the next time I wear them!

Mum Jeans & Blush Tees

Supre Cropped Blush T-Shirt (Similar Here), Wrangler Jeans, Target Mules (Similar Here)

If you find a rustic pale pink staircase it's practically a crime not to stop and take a few photos right? I love how these photos turned out and most of all I love these jeans! I never thought I would be into mum jeans but these high-waisted ones are perfect. They're just the right level of bagginess to be stylish, but not hobbo. And a hundred times more comfortable than my Levis skinnies. Paired with a tee and some comfy mules and you're set for a day of cosy style. 

The days have definitely been getting warmer recently and I am so ready for spring and all the pretty outfits I have planned, watch this space! Anyway I am off to study for a chicken medicine and radiology exam. Hoping you are all having a great week!

Blush Knits & Floral Dresses

Dissh Floral Button-Up Dress, Dissh Blush Knit, Windsor Smith Boots (Similar Here)

I've been so in love with the trend of wearing jumpers under summer dresses lately! I'm such a summer girl and love buying summer dresses and outfits but can struggle with how to style myself in winter without looking like a cocooned caterpillar that hates the cold. Which is why this trend is probably the best thing to ever happen to me. Now I can use my summer dress buying addiction to my advantage in winter too and look stylish doing it! I have a tonne of uni work to catch up on, so I'm keeping it short and sweet today. Hope you are all going well. Speak again soon,

Gingham Skater Shorts

Glassons Singlet, Luck & Trouble Gingham Skater Shorts (Similar Here), Betts Sandals (Similar Here)

Hands up if you're obsessed with gingham this season! I'm absolutely loving this trend at the moment so thought I should share with you one of the gingham pieces I'm currently obsessed with! These Gingham skater shorts flare out kind of like a skater skirt, giving you feminine and pretty silhouette. And I just loved them paired with these sandals. Spring perfection! (If you're from the northern hemisphere that is). I'm on mid-semester break now so it's time for me to create some more content! Hope everyone has a relaxing and safe Easter long weekend.

How I Styled the Lazy T-Shirt Dress for a Casual Night Out

Factorie T-Shirt Dress,  Assembly Denim Jacket, Lovisa Earrings, The Horse Watch, Sportsgirl Clutch, Windsor Smith 'Grinded' Boots

I styled this outfit for a night out at a Vallis Alps concert in Brisbane the other night. Believe it or not it's actually a men's T-shirt! I just love how comfy and versatile shirt 'dresses' (or men's t-shirts) can be! I wanted a casual but put together street-style look so I started by pairing the dress with a denim jacket and black leather boots. I then added these amazing purple fluffy earrings from Lovisa for a fun pop of colour that transformed the look into a more girly and fun style. And for practicality added this plain black fold-over clutch which I feel matched the look perfectly.

I definitely feel like this look was perfect for a casual night out, especially the comfy T-shirt dress which helped hide the massive dinner I had! Overall I had an amazing night, Vallis Alps were amazing, their music is entrancing and mesmerizing, and they were even better live than I expected. Have you guys heard they're playing at Splendour in the Grass this year?! I'd definitely be keen to go just to see them again! Hope all is well with all of you, speak soon.

Festival Ready in Bell Sleeves & Bucket Bags

Dotti Top, Dissh Shorts, Rubi Shoes, Factorie Hat, Eclat Jaclyn Bucket Bag

Happy New Year everyone! I know, a little late to the party but I truly hope everyone of you reading this have your best year yet. I wore this cute outfit to Tumbulgum for a delightful afternoon tea, and I am absolutely obsessed with this top. The off-the-shoulder look with bell sleeves and the cute floral print make this top perfect for summer occasions, and paired with this pretty pastel blue bucket bag you're festival ready!

Apart from trying to beat this heat by reading books by the beach, I have been planning a trip to Japan which I go on next week. I'm so excited and plan to have some blog posts coming soon on my travels to Japan as I escape this relentless heat.

Talk soon once all my planning for this trip is finished!

Mary, Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow? | OOTD featuringPrincess Polly

Princess Polly Dress, Sportsgirl Bucket Bag, Cotton On Frilly Socks, K-mart Boots, Ofra Long Lasting Liquid Lipstick in Malibu
Evening lovelies,
I’m so excited that exams are over and it is finally summer here in Australia! I have so many new clothes I recently bought as an end of exam treat and I can’t wait to style them and shoot them for you guys.
These photos were taken on my little escape this week to Montville (another post exam treat courtesy of the boyfriend) and I felt this artsy and relaxed fitting dress was perfect to wear while exploring this quaint little town.
I am particularly in love with the purple embroidery of this dress paired with the baby pink fabric. So simple yet pretty! And this ofra lipstick is simply to die for, I am in love with colour! It may have cost me an arm and a leg in shipping from the U.S. but I would definitely have to say 100% worth it. I think I am due for a beauty favourites update soon!
I am so happy to finally be blogging again, chat again soon!
