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

Winter Holiday

Tim, Oli and Marta

♥

Here are some photos from my winter holiday as promised, and as you can see, the Australian countryside really is beautiful. I had a wonderful time sharing a cabin with nine of my good friends laughing, playing games, eating lots and exploring the countryside...we even visited some Alpacas! You can click on the images if you want to see them larger, all photos by Marta and I.

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!

nineteen!

I'm nineteen today!
This photo is from three years ago, but I think it pretty much sums up how i'm feeling right now.
I've spent the day with family and my best friends and recieved some lovely presents (i'll show you later) and now I'm about to go get ready to hit the town for some celebratory times!
au revoir

sweater clips!

S w e a t e r C L I P S
♥

The other week I bought the most beautiful 60's sweater clips from etsy store VintageEnvy
which has the most wonderful collection of 60's brooches, earrings and of course sweater clips!
I first saw these on the blog Amateur Coture, and knew I had to have them.
They are such a cute addition to an outfit, I loved how they looked in the 60's and I love them how they today with a modern outfit. I think I will buy myself a blue cardigan to wear with these...maybe a vintage cashmere one! Very appropriate.

au revoir!

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.

tote!

I thought I'd do a little mini outfit post today to show off my beautiful new Fieldguided tote bag. I've been a huge Fieldguided fan for a long time, and I have always admired Anabela's simple yet pretty tote bags so when I visited the mail box yesterday to find an amazing dip dyed tote bag I was incredibly excited! It fits all my things perfectly, and its so great to bring to uni.
The blush colour of the bag is perfect for adding a bit of colour to all of the grey, black and white outfits i've been wearing the past couple of weeks in this crazy Sydney cold snap. Too cold! I think the dip dye kinda looks like a sunset, so lovely!

au revoir
