A teenage twist on chic...

I always find that the perfect outfit takes time and planning. I like know exactly what I'm going to wear on any occasion at least the day before, today was no exception. My best friend and I had the most lovely day in Melbourne shopping (as usual) and we went to the museum, which was interesting and a lot of fun.
the outfit that I wore was a mix between air hostess and trashy youth, well the skirt was trashy youth and everything else was simple and clean cut. but I was immensely satisfied with this outfit because the colors all went so well together and with my make up, especially the red lipstick and the red in my scarf. the mix of vintage paired with a plain white T and the ripped up skirt all worked out very nicely indeed.
the perfect outfit for the perfect day!

Birthday cake is the best kind of cake

This Saturday my cousins had a party for their birthdays (which are 2 days apart) and so my best friend and I went to the party together after a day of shopping (I didn't buy anything).
Near the party was a little park complete with playground where we spent a good part of the night taking photos. I wore one of my many floral dresses, which I purchased from my local op shop for $5, and I wore my high heels.

it shouldn't be cold outside!

Last Saturday I went to see one of my favorite bands live with some friends. Oh Mercy were doing a free show in Melbourne and it was amazing! I can't wait for their new album, but aside from the music I also went shopping and I bought this lovely yellow dress from danger field.
this Saturday I wore my new yellow dress even though it was unseasonably cold and raining for spring-time and the dress isn't exactly warm, so I had to layer up with gloves, a jacket, a cardigan and a scarf!
but it was still an enjoyable day going vintage shopping with my sister and her friend. I didn't buy anything (strange but true) but I saw so many beautiful things, still the day was exhausting and by the time we had gone to every shop I was ready for bed.

tick tock

I had a busy day today, in between reading and going out for a nice lunch I also went to the optometrist, the dentist and to work.
It was a good day though because I wore my Doc Martens (which I am sad to admit I have neglected for a while now) and I used a new little tye-dye handbag that my Aunt bought me back for Croatia a couple of weeks ago, I am rapidly falling in love with it!

story time

today I spent literally $100 on books and magazines, I consider it completely worth it though because now I can spend the rest of my holidays reading and relaxing.

Spring Time

today is a lovely spring day, I haven't got much planned except for work and later tonight my sister is going to visit. other than that nothing much, however this is what I will be wearing if I do get up to anything exciting.

holiday

today is the second day of my holidays and so far I have done nothing and it has been wonderful. A couple of days ago however I did go to the op-shop where I bought the amazing cream cardigan that I am wearing in the picture, it is stitched with lots of tiny little pearls and is so soft and warm that I barely take it off.


I also bought a handbag for $2 and a whole stack of old National Geographic magazines dated as far back as the 50s. they are full of pictures and articles which I have been devouring instead of doing anything really productive like homework, but I feel it's worth it.
I'll do something worthwhile tomorrow...maybe.
