Okay okay, taking a break from my blog for 6 months isn't the same as Ross cheating on Rachel but I did feel bad I stopped posting. So where have I been? Literally no where. I just stopped posting because I wanted to put my work and study first but also because I began...

Ever since Harajuku Girls by Gwen Stefani hit our radio in 2004 I have lusted over the culture of Japan. Back in April, I embarked on my first trip to the land known for Hello Kitty and Sushi to discover one of the most incredible countries in the world with some of th...

On a night out in Melbourne on the way to the restaurant we had chosen to go to for the night my best friend and I stumbled past the famous and over photographed Hozier Lane. Naturally, I forced an impromptu photo shoot because what's one or three more photos amongst t...

The city of Melbourne is the perfect weekend getaway. Once a year, my best friend and I book the cheapest flights on the dodgiest airlines and jet off down to Victoria to spend our life savings on food and fashion. Here is a little snippet of where we ate and what we d...

A few years ago I would have never picked up this bold set. The older I get, the more comfortable I am in my style choices and the less I care about what people think. 

This beautiful Gorman set was the perfect addition to my wardrobe. Although the colours are bold...

It has been a couple of months since my last post. In between studying a double degree and working two jobs it becomes somewhat difficult to find time for my other passions. In the last few weeks of spring I can finally see the sweet arrival of summer in sight. 

My styl...

Long time, no post. I have been extremely busy recently with University and my new job, that my blog has taken a back seat. I only do this as a hobby and don't want the pressure of having to post once a week, but rather just when I want to. I don't want to deliver rush...

Freezing in the morning and boiling in the day. The transitional weather makes it almost impossible to decide what to wear. When in doubt I always pull out my denim skirts because it is the perfect go to when I don't know what to wear. I recently picked up this dark wa...

Everyone has their own wardrobe and not one of them is the same. That dress you wore on that special date or your favourite shirt you wore on the first day of university. Each piece is special because it carries a memory but also reflects who you were in that stage of...

I was born a little too late fully embrace the era of the Spice Girls, however that doesn't mean I am not a fan of their work. Yes, their songs are absolute 90's anthems but these culottes are the best creation by Posh Spice since that decade. Victoria Beckham is a fas...

I am a self proclaimed online shopping expert. Most people spend their spare time reading a book or watching television, I however am constantly scrolling through online stores aimlessly looking for inspiration to strike. When I say constantly I mean constantly, every...

Last week we had an unusually warm winter day in Brisbane, it was the perfect excuse to pull out some summer pieces for a picnic in the park with my best friend and our dogs, of course. 

This corduroy navy pinafore dress has to be a wardrobe staple for me. I have o...

Handbags are really just used to hold things in, but lets be honest, they are so much more than that. They are the icing on top of an outfit. They are practical and useful, so why not buy way more of them then you will actually ever need in a life time? 

This...

Okay I realise my last post was also me wearing overalls and stripes but I honestly can't get enough. I like to think of my style as dressing like a giant toddler but it's hard not to when overalls are the perfect mix of style and comfort. 

I recently bought these ...

In March this year I set myself a challenge to not spend money on clothes. That goal was destroyed the minute I saw these overalls. These Nude Lucy Overalls have already been worn too many times to count and honestly I tried to buy a second one because I loved them so...
