Versatility

This is a small post to show you the stuff I've added to my wardrobe recently! Wahoo.

Thanks to Oroton I won this laptop bag at Vogue's Fashion Night Out! I have to admit, when I saw the picture, I was a tad horrified. I've never been the biggest fan of animal prints. However this bag is absolutely stunning. It somehow manages to match with everything and fits my MacBook, wallet, sunglasses and all my other essentials. Perfect for uni! The interior is amazing as well - really soft and excellent quality. 

I ordered these bright blue harem trousers from ASOS last week and they arrived this morning - totally stoked! The colour is fantastic and I love them because they are the only coloured trousers I own. I actually hate wearing jeans so I've had to resort to plain leggings for winter and shorts for summer. I'm super excited to wear these in the next few months - they're all loose and cool and bright and different to anything else I own!

I know what you're thinking. The answer is no, I did not spend a grand on 3 YSL rings. They're fake. I hate to admit it, and as amazing as YSL rings are, I would never, ever spend $300 on a ring. Even if it was gold. However I did snatch up these beauties online - completely fake, but still have the same look! And I got the owl necklace for a bargain at only $5... I couldn't help myself. It seems my gold jewellery collection is growing which I'm excited about as I've always been a silver girl.

I do apologise for the lack of posts. The truth is, I got a bit bored of posting photos of new clothes I bought. Although my wardrobe has been updated quite the plenty over the past couple of weeks (and my bank account severely robbed), I just have not had the motivation to lay them out, take nice photos and show everyone. I don't know why. However. Upon the decision to skip my tutorial in order to work on my many assignments today, I found myself pumping up the music and cleaning what was a room that looked like it had been trashed. Now? It looks awesome. I got rid of old photos in frames of people I didn't even speak to anymore and printed out some fresh ones. I got out the windex and wiped down all the surfaces. And I rearranged all the various bottles of perfume, moisturiser and what not. And I found myself with the following.

Photographs of my precious ones. From left to right: Jazz, Marni, Sam and Sanj.

My growing magazine collection. What is that fat binded book on the end, you ask? Well it's a scrapbook made my my closest friend for my 16th birthday. It really is a masterpiece, featuring many embarrassing photos and wonderful messages. 

My current favourite magazines are Shop and Frankie. Vogue is okay. But if you ask me, flipping through pages filled with clothes that look like they belong in a museum combined with the odd piece you'd actually want to wear that's worth over $3,000, is a little bit confidence-shattering. Frankie is just... inspirational. I feel like it's Tumblr in a magazine. With cool photo effects, weird fonts and matte finish paper. 

Daisy Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs on the left there. Wearing this amazing scent every day. And my new love, Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector. Goodbye bronzer and clogged pores, hello natural glow and hydrated skin!

How I store my jewellery. Bracelets, rings, earrings and necklaces. But you know what, I'm so sick of my  silver jewellery turning brown. It's time to man up, save some money and invest in some sterling silver. In love with the stuff from Magnolia Silver Jewellery and this random one-off shop in St Ives. Love love love.

And, finally my workspace. Awesome stereo system with a massive subwoofer hidden under the bed. So when I play those tunes it really is music to my ears. My MacBook (RIP Steve Jobs). iPhone, and a wonderful view of my huge green backyard, with the occasional sleeping owl in the tree.

I hope I've bored you enough, sorry about that. Until next time... X

Swimwear Runway Show - VFNO

The first stop at Vogue's Fashion Night Out was a runway at David Jones showcasing some new swimwear for the upcoming summer season. I decided to get out my new Canon 550D and get my photographer on so I could show you guys what's in season. And that's bright, bold colours... and lots, lots, lots of colour. The collections on show were from brands including Seafolly, Speedo, Zimmerman, and Tigerlily. That's only mentioning a couple.

Also, I'm really excited because my ASOS order arrived yesterday... yay! I will post photos of that as well as the stuff I got at FNO in a couple of days.

Vogue's Fashion Night Out - September 8

I had an amazing time at Vogue's Fashion Night Out held in the Sydney CBD! I got to meet some lovely people and bought some amazing things. Was probably not the best idea to wear my Jeffrey Campbells... although I am in love with them, I don't think my feet appreciated it too much. The atmosphere in the city was really vibrant - live DJs, real-people-moving-live models in the shop windows, live acoustic entertainment and people absolutely everywhere! Combine this with free champagne, cupcakes, macarons and goodie bags and you have a very happy me.

I wore a Cotton On blazer, Sportsgirl leggings and bag, ASOS singlet, Jeffrey Campbell lita platforms, Forever New bracelets, and Diva/Sportsgirl rings. 

David Jones swimwear runway. There were some lovely pieces! I shall post some more photos in a few days.

LIVE MODELS IN SHOP WINDOW. Yep, they were real people.

This girl sang amazingly! She's really young too. It was awesome to have some live entertainment.

Giving out 15% off vouchers for Forever New. 

Live DJ in shop windows!

The line for free fairy floss at Sportsgirl.

Ruby Rose also made an appearance!

I'll post more photos of the runway and some things I bought in a couple of days.
