Easy way out.

Vintage Blouse from Thread People - YesStyle.com Ankle Length Straight Fit Pants - Therapy Tower Pumps - MINKPINK Backpack from Market HQ

Posting this now before I get stuck into last minute microeconomics revisions and a lovely lunch with some of my favourite people at one of my favourite eateries. Then exam tonight! It never stops.

Anyway - my dear Jess snapped these of me and my get-up post-amazing-lunch after Alexa Chung's press conference a week or two ago (it's all a blur: for all I know it could have been a month ago!). I'd been wearing these brights so often separately that the only possible next step was to combine the two. I have to say I do appreciate the pink and green together, as much as my preschool teacher said that they didn't go. Who cares if I look like a watermelon. My backpack makes it cool.

Anyone who's seen enough of me in the past three weeks of my owning this backpack will know that I've been wearing it to death. I now no longer have lopsided shoulders from carrying stupidly heavy uni books in a shoulder bag.

P.S. if you happen to be in Sydney CBD over the next couple of days, go check out the store windows at Voi Shop (72 Castlereagh St) - four of us spent a solid couple of hours last night styling up a window each! Voting will go up on their facebook page very soon.

You're alright.

Mister Zimi Leather Jacket - Vintage Chiffon Skirt - Yves Saint Laurent Vibrant Brown Lipstick from YesStyle.com

In my haste to get through my uni week (so the exciting projects starting at the end will get here faster), I completely forgot to share snaps of what I wore to the FOREVER NEW Spring Launch last week. I don't think the leather-chiffon combination will ever fail me - neither will the fantastic colour of this Mister Zimi jacket and the eternal vibrancy of my favourite vintage skirt. I've said it 500 times and I'l make it 1000 - best spent $7 of my life. And thank you dear Jasmin for taking these for me!

How has everyone's week been so far? Not going to lie - I feel like my eyes are about to fall out (classy). Definitely skipping my usual morning run tomorrow!

Having said that, I have a lot of exciting things coming up to share with you all! Stay tuned here, on Facebook and on Twitter.

As promised, here are more photos from my Thursday evening in Melbourne. I cannot even begin to describe the withdrawal symptoms - Melbourne is such a beautiful city (with beautiful people) and I will definitely have to sneakily make my way back down there in the near future - and this time, explore all the back lanes!

What is everybody up to this weekend?

Lipsy London x MYER x Shine By Three.

I'm fairly excited to share the news that Lipsy London is landing in 67 MYER stores and on the MYER Miss Shop site this weekend. In celebration of this (yes, I'm celebrating), I was asked to self-shot three of my favourite Lipsy pieces to share with you all, so here they are.

I absolutely adore the cuts of these three pieces - the lace dress is really quite something (may have to get myself to a MYER on Sunday and bar anyone else from touching it).

Some styling references for you:

1. Lipsy Lace Dress - Yves Saint Laurent Vibrant Brown Lipstick from YesStyle.com
2. Lipsy Trench - Polli Pendant
3. Lipsy Shorts - Vintage Shirt - Vintage Cuff

So hop to a MYER if you happen to be in Australia and let me know what you think of the collection!

P.S. I cannot even begin to express how much I appreciate that it's Friday

P.P.S. Thank you so much for all your love and emails regarding my guest-blogging for The Galeries! Be sure to check out my last post for them right HERE.

Polka Dotti.

ROMWE Polka Dot Pants -  Dotti Sleeveless Shirt - Nu + Nan Boots - ASOS Boyfriend Belt - Vintage Clutch

Since receiving them from my wonderful friends at ROMWE, these pants have not left the end of my bed for the ridiculous frequency of my wearing them. Not only are they doubly flattering in length and high wait, but (as is rare in the case of such outlandish pants) are perfectly comfortable - and breezy enough to carry me all through Summer.

Yes this is the plan.





The black and white polka dots lend themselves pretty well to tan, khaki and leather for starters - I'd imagine colour-blocking would work a dream as well.

Time to experiment this weekend!

I've been holding out for Friday so much it's painful - something exciting to share tomorrow though! Think Lipsy London. And MYER.

Tort-feasor.

Mister Zimi Leather Jacket - Vintage Leather Shorts - Costalots Matte Finish Sunnies - Therapy Shoes Laguna Wedges in Bone

First and foremost, I find it necessary to apologise for my disheveled and exhausted appearance - the semester so far has been every matter of overdrive and brain-functioning to the nth degree. Having said that, I finally got to wear my beloved shorts that I bought (not without drama...) when I was with Jess and Emma at Surry Hills markets. I'm definitely glad I got them though - such a wonderful colour that'll see me all the way through Spring, but keeps me warm for the time being while Sydney makes up its mind on thunderstorms. In the mean time, I'm happy to wear Summery shoes and matte finish sunnies.

On top of that, I couldn't resist doing a double-leather assault to the eyes with this fantastic Mister Zimi jacket. Somehow, the burnt tan colour does the teal leather the highest of justice.





Reading over this post now, I realise that I've been reading way too many torts cases...

Bed time for me!

ModCloth Travel Bug: Shine By Three.

ModCloth Hey, Hot Stuff Sweater, Bunting Season Shorts, Portable Pocket Belt, In the Knit of Time Socks in PM, Three Crowns Heel - Thread People Vintage Blouse - Vintage Jacket

Happy Saturday morn, lovers! I'm so very sorry that on more than one occasion this week, I've gotten home and just fallen into bed. Physical limitations, friends. At this point, I really do wish I were a robot and could power on 24/7.

On a happier note, I'm super excited to be able to share with you my Guest Blog for ModCloth.com, which gave me the best excuse to traipse around Sydney in a fun ModCloth get-up I styled and see my favourite places with my best friend, Katie - who also helped me out with a lot of the photos (because carting a tripod to Rozelle Markets and self-timering myself rifling through the racks would have been outstandingly awkward).





Make sure you check out my favourite places in Sydney right HERE over at the ModCloth Blog!

Have a wonderful weekend,

*love*

The Corner Shop x Claire Inc.

Last Thursday evening was spent swanning (the only appropriate verb) around The Corner Shop's Strand Arcade store, happily stroking the wonderful textiles that made up Claire Inc.'s wonderfully curated collection of vintage pieces from a B for Betsey to a Y for YSL. After some convincing from dear Emily, I did end up trying on the most stunning Karl Lagerfeld coat/jacket/hybrid-or-other and am very much in love. I've given it almost a week. If it's still there when I return, it was definitely meant to be.

Don't you love my rationale?










The textures and colours were such a divine experience (and magical to shoot!) - I'm definitely going to have to recommend that you pop in. Even it is for just a touchy-feel.

*love*
