Back

I'm back...

Though not for long. Unfortunately everything seems to come up at once. I've found a place to live, am in the process of finding a new job, and have received some not-so-good/awful news all in the space of a week.

Typical.

I'm coping as well as I can, but in the meantime, please understand if the blog takes a backseat for a while. I will be updating, it just may not be as regular as I'd like.

I'll leave you with a couple of pictures I've had sitting in my inspiration folder for ages.

Hope you're all well!

The Dellal

Supre tank, secondhand blazer and clutch, DIY skirt, flats from Just Jeans

Back to a limited colour palette. And I'm clearly going through a phase of loving this clutch - it just seems to work with everything. This is also my attempt at Delallesque hair. I should have taken a better photo but it's pretty much a french plait around the side of my head...

As of tomorrow I'll be in Melbourne (Australia) for a week, so won't be posting or answering comments. But, I promise when I get back I'll dedicate a full day purely to responding to comments. I try to reply to every comment, and have at least 50 to go before I'm caught up... I'll get there slowly, just bear with me.

Hope everyone has a good week!

Blue

Secondhand sandals, clutch, belt and blazer, dress is a mens XL singlet from the Warehouse

I noticed a couple of you mentioned that I was wearing colour in my last post - I'm finally branching out! In fact I'm wearing no black at all today (the dress is navy blue), which is pretty impressive for me... Admittedly colour is much easier to wear in summer.

And for those of you who asked how the flat hunting is going, I've finally found a place! I'll keep you updated, but I'm looking to move in in a couple of weeks.

Apologies

So I decided to mix my uniform up a little today by throwing in a shirt. I know, it's not all that exciting, but here it is anyway.

Vintage shirt, bag and belt, Converse sneakers, DIY cutoffs

Also, in case you haven't noticed, I'm running a little behind on responding to comments due to the hectic state of my life at the moment - I promise I'll do it the minute I have the time. I cherish you guys just as much as ever!

Finally!

Sorry about the impromptu, week-long blogging hiatus. I got caught up in holidays and New Years and finding somewhere to live! It's been scorching hot lately, so I seem to be wearing a uniform of cutoffs and a t-shirt as I traipse from potential flat to potential flat. I promise regular programming will resume shortly.

In the meantime, here are some snaps of the inspirational books and magazines I've been pouring over lately. Enjoy!

From MKA's Influence:

From Australian Vogue:

From Karen, a New Zealand magazine:

Finally, thank you all for your beautiful, kind comments! Every one of them makes me smile.

...And I'm flattered to hear you guys like my skin tone as it is, I might hold off getting a tan after all.

Jumping on the Bandwagon

Better late than never. And yes, I'm aware that I'm in desperate need of a tan.

DIY singlet, Jay Jays jeans, secondhand belt, Just Jeans flats and Equip clutch

Working Girl

DIY vest, Supre singlet, Levis jeans, Yessica heels, Secondhand bag and hat

One day 'til Christmas! I hope everyone's having happy holidays. I've been working flat out and to be honest, I'm more excited about a day off tomorrow than I am about Christmas! Particularly because I've yet to completely sort out my presents. It's looking like it'll be a mad rush for me, I hope you guys are more organised.

Oh, and as you can see, my hair is still attached. I had it up in the last post which is why it looked so short! I've been growing out a very short cut for the last two years, so it won't be coming off again any time soon.

On a completely unrelated note, I wish I had a scanner. I've been spending my hard earned money satisfying my magazine habit, and have a hundred editorials I wish I could show you. I might try and take pictures of them... Will let you know how it goes.

Beautiful

Vintage

Vintage jersey, Jay Jays jeans, Supre tank, bag from Equip and flats from Just Jeans

How awesome is this vintage, beaded jersey? I found it the other day and snapped it up for all of $4. It's perfect.

All I Want for Christmas is Long Blonde Hair

Garance Dore, Emma Nygren, Knight Cat

Some of you may have noticed that over the last couple of weeks I've gradually been going blonde. Eventually I want my hair to look as gorgeous as all these girls. Wishful thinking? Probably.
