autumnals

My favourite season has arrived!
Autumn really is the most lovely season. In Sydney, autumn means brown falling leaves, a chill in the air and warm sun to lie in with friends.

back to school

Rookiemag.com
is super famous blogger Tavi Gevinson's new online magazine. I guess I've always been much more of a Lula girl than a style rookie one, but going to this site makes me feel like I've fell into a 90's dream land. Check out this editorial!? So sweet! Makes me miss high school a little bit.

I think it would be safe to say that 60's groupies are probably my biggest style icons.
There is no wonder that these ladies inspired the world of some of the sixties best creatives. Marianne Faithful, Edie Sedgwick, Anna Karina, Jane Asher, Jean Shrimpton, Yoko Ono, Mimi Farina and Patti Boyd are a few of my favourites with a collective style that could be described as romantic, classic and typically sixties.
Today I thought I'd do a little post about probably the most successful (and arguably the most beautiful) 60's groupie, Pattie Boyd who not only dated George Harrison but also Eric Clapton.
Lucky lady!

chambray again

c h a m b r a y!

(Me and my friends last year- i'm the one in the chambray dress!)

During this wierd late winter/ almost spring time, I find myself being far more swayed by spring fashion. Chambray has always been one of my spring favourites, so I've been collecting some images to get me (and everyone else still stuck in winter right now) in the spring mood.
Remember to click on the images if you want to see them larger.

Black and white

Black + White
On these gloomy winter days I wish I could be transported into a beautiful black and white photograph like these ones.
I'm sorry that I've been such a deadbeat blogger lately, I just realized it's been about two weeks since I last posted! There will be an outfit post in the future somewhere too, promise.

au revoir

The middle of winter...

♥

It is the middle of winter here in Australia now, and I find my winter wardrobe piling up with cozy, oversized sweaters and stockings in all different colours (I managed to find a pair of grey ones last week!).
One thing I haven't been able to find yet is the perfect pair of boots. Sweaters and boots are so cute with a polka dot skirt or something...I'm looking for a perfect pair of black ones with a wooden stacked heel. The ones in the picture below are perfect!
Next week I'll be going on a little cabin adventure to the country with some of my uni friends which I'm really excited about. Hopefully I'll be able to take a few photos of the amazing countryside to show you here.

au revoir!

Alison S c a r p u l l a

If you regularly follow any of the blogs that I do you will probably have seen Alison Scarpulla's beautiful photographs circulating around. Pagan rituals, full moons, woods and well-dressed ladies are all a common themes on her Flikr page which, really, is right up my alley.
I love how haunting and mysterious all the photographs are, created by the hazy soft focus and the muted, ambiguous colours in them.
If I were ever to start my own magazine, these are the exact kind of images I would have adorning every page.

winter inspiration

W i n t e r !is officially here now, which means lots of great things including winter break and my nineteenth birthday. It also means stockings, capes, coats, scarves, boots and sweaters. Which is pretty great.
I'm a bit torn though, being in Australia all of my favourite blogs are northern hemisphere based and thus posting beautiful summer pictures running around in flimsy skirts and singlets...which makes me super jealous that I can't do that right now. Anyone else dealing with that?

The weather hasn't been too bad yet, so hopefully we can have a mild winter all rugged up in layers while drinking litres of tea a day. That's pretty much how it's been for the past couple of weeks.
EDIT: The weather has been pure shit. The day after I posted this, Sydney experienced its coldest day in about five years :(
P.S I have exams coming up so sorry in advance if there is less posting than usual, however I will try to sneak an outfit post in sometime soon...au revoir! x

sunshine...

♥

S u n s h i n e...
I am a bit of an outside person myself, I love sitting outside in the sun as opposed to cooped up inside. This seems to be the case in winter, especially - if its a beautiful sunny day, ill be outside. These photos pretty much sum up how I would like to look just chilling outside with my friends, or with some lunch or even with a bit of uni work :(there's always uni work).
I'm loving how these girls are dressed outside, clad in pretty dresses, pastel sweaters, cropped jeans and beautiful skirts.

au revoir!

some winter inspiration...

W i n t e r inspiration : : :
The past week here in Sydney has been unusually cold for autumn and I definitely have gotten a cold wearing weather inappropriate outfits, partly because I haven't really acquired a winter wardrobe yet.
These pictures act as a bit of winter inspiration, I'd love to wear pea coats, chunky knit sweaters and cardigans and white 60's style stockings.
