Day Three: Casual Coffee





I'm starting to think it was really bad timing for me to start a blog based on 'fashion,' when lately I've been a little uninspired and lacking opportunities to actually dress up and go out. I've spent about 4 days doing absolutely nothing but uni work and haven't left my house. My bf's family has been in town for his Gran's 90th birthday so he's been really busy attending to their needs (read: chauffeuring, cleaning and entertaining), so I've been pretty lonely. To top it off, my two closest girl friends are overseas right now, taking advantage of this unprecedented long weekend. It seems that turning into a hermit is inevitable in such circumstances. 

Have you ever felt like there was absolutely no one you could call to go catch a movie with? 

Luckily though, my bf and I caught up for a quick coffee last night and so I drudged through my wardrobe to pick out something suitable. 

I came up with this Dotti sweater, navy blue supre skirt and sportsgirl tights. Worn with black flats. Not very exciting. 

I'm hoping that when uni starts again next week I'll have more of a chance to live up to my lofty promises of 'fierce fashion'. Or maybe that's just deluded. 

Until next time x

not really Day Three.



So believe it or not I've had a pretty miserable Easter break - I've barely left the house except to go to the gym. So no outfits to post. I almost went out yesterday but, tragically, it didn't work out. Such is life.

Anyway I went to an engagement party on Saturday night and this is what I wore.

Day Two: In honour of Zara




So I can't attend the grand opening today, having blown a lot of money on shopping in the past few weeks and ALSO having resolved to shop my own wardrobe for a while. It saddens me greatly, but probably shouldn't feel like I'm missing out too much as I did a major Zara haul whilst in Mexico in January. I'm hoping a lot of the stock will be the same, but I know that they're creating a range especially for Australia.

One of the best purchases I've made all year is this Zara blazer; I love it. It's a classic cut and has gorgeous blue and white stripped lining.

Wearing: Zara Blazer, Bonds Singlet, 'Loving Things' pleather shorts from Tattoo in Top Ryde [I've been looking for leather-look shorts which aren't high waisted, and I finally found these in the most random store], Sportsgirl knee high stockings and black wedges.

Accessories: Diva necklace, C&M mens necklace from Mexico, Diva Studs

Day One


Casual day to pick up some presents for a friend's  engagement party on the weekend. Wearing: really old country road singlet, Mink Pink tights and scarf from Mexico. Worn with Cotton On Kids thongs.

Note that I'm committing the age old fashion faux pas of teaming navy blue with black. There are no rules, I say.

I'm finding it difficult to believe that my peers are getting engaged to be married. We're all embarking on the next chapter really soon - I can definitely feel the tide turning.

Hence the nautical theme.
