You know me, I am forever writing wish list that I eventually want to purchase. But by the time I actually come to saving up the money to purchase it they’re a hundred of other things I want to purchase as well. However, here is still my summer essential list that i am determined to purchase to get though this scorching summer.
Shoes: Birkenstock, Lip Scrub: Lush, Shoes: shakuhachi, Wallet: Koncept, Sunglass: Ray Ban, Swimmers: Triangl, Moisturisers: Aesop
After seeing the trend of Birkenstock’s return back into fashion, Miranda Kerr’s photo shot for Vogue definitely made sure they were coming back for good. I want to wear them with everything and nothing, with dresses or with jeans. They are my #1 shoe for this summer.

I love spending my lazy sunday afternoons looking at fashion photographs and online shopping. I just love to catch up with what’s in style as well as some inspiration on how to wear your original pieces already hanging in your wardrobe.
As always, I tend to always go straight for black and white as it’s minimal and easy. Here are my favourite images of the afternoon, as well as a few good online buys I found to mirror these looks.

Hello Spring!
You’ve definitely made sure everyone knows you’re here for good and winter is far gone. With the flowers starting to blossom again, which also makes walking to work a lot more enjoyable it’s time to start adjusting my length of my clothing and time to remove those thick wooly scarfs/jumpers that I love so much. Spring is the perfect time to start introducing colour into the wardrobe as it is so easy just to wear black constantly during winter. This is simply because in spring you can wear one simple piece of clothing, like a dress and then you only need to accessorise with some cute scandals or sneakers and a bag, Simple! Whilst in winter you have to co-ordinate with your pants, shirts, jumpers and scarfs whilst still trying to stay as warm as possible.
As the days get longer and warmer, but our skirt lengths shorter, it’s always nice to keep some vibrant new clothing to keep your wardrobe fresh.

Hello there friends,
I was very excited when Spring came out and a lot of the collections of my favourite stores were featuring black & white. I wear a lot of b&w as it’s probably the easiest colour to wear and it always looks good. A lot of people can think it’s rather depressing to have the majority of your wardrobe black and white, however if you introduce some interesting patterns, opposed to block colours you can still maintain a unique and trendy look and can always accessorise with some colour.
Having a little bit of texture to your outfit can go a long way, redefining your outfit from dull to dynamic.
Here are a few of my favourite things out there at the moment, with a few things to add some spice to your outfit –

I went down to Melbourne for two weeks during my university break. As anyone who has been to Melbourne would known the three best things to do in Melbourne are –
1) Eat and Drink
2) Shop, Shop, Shop and more shopping!
3) Check out any current exhibitions down there (I was incredibly lucky to see the Monet exhibition!!!)
I decided to show you guys a few of my favourite things that I got down there.
1) Witchery Sunglasses – These guys are great! They are black and elegant and remind of Audrey Hepburn’s fantastic glasses (if only I have her facial structure!)
2) Witchery ring – This little number sits comfortably on my finger most days now, as it’s simple yet with the chain detailing it creates a very appealing accessory
3) Witchery purse – This black item fits perfectly into my every day, I put my essentials (neurofen, lipstick, papaw etc) in it and keep it in my bag. It’s fantastic because it keeps all those items separate from everything else (books, iPad, phone…. food)
4) Strawberry and cream tea from the oriental tea house – This tea is very sweet (just the way I like it) but you can also have it hot or cold. I like to prepare it and then let it cool over night then drink it through out the day adding a bit of favour to my water (it’s sugar and fat free too)
5) Black and white sports girl top – Well how can you go wrong with navy and white stripes…
6) Black Winsdor Smith boots – Because in winter everyone needs a good pair of boots and these ones also come with a bit of a heel which means i can dress them up, or just wear them casually
Everyone has a style icon. Mine are Mary-Kate and Ashley. There are constantly glamourous, yet maintain an effortlessly, cool appearance as well.
They usually wear neutral colours, or a just a block colour. They keep there usually over sized clothing simple. They are definitely never lacking accessories, from over sized rings to large bags, they always seem to keep it spot on.

Due to the freezing and rainy weather I have been stuck inside all weekend. I made this time useful by thinking of a ‘wanted winter accessory’ wish list. These items are too dress up any outfit and make it more dynamic. Accessories are always great to add something more to that simple outfit, but as well making that amazing outfit perfect.

The asymmetrical skirt is coming into play this winter. The asymmetrical skirt is a great way to add dimension to a plain outfit and can definitely be dressed up to suit a formal occasional. I fell in love with this particular black, leather witchery skirt.

So, I’m heading off to Melbourne in a week. It’s just a local, quick trip to check out some of their current exhibitions, and of course, do a bit of shopping. The perfect plane outfit is always difficult to conquor as you need to wear something that is comfortable but each item also has to be easily suited for the rest of your lugguage.
I’m only heading down to melbourne for a week, so my luggage is limited. That means everything on the plane I will actually wear a few times over. It’s always good to stick with the basics, as basics will accompany for any outfit.
I have started with a great pair of country road jeans that are really flexible and comfortable, with a black and white stripped top (how could you go wrong.) For when it gets a bit chilly on the plane I have a grey jumper to put on if needed. I have chosen a bright orange bag to bring some colour into the equation with some cute, simple and comfortable ballet flats.
