Have a lovely Easter everyone! ♥

hello, summer!

Ok, so technically it's not Summer yet, but it sure feels like it! The weather has been simply irresistible lately with perfect blue skies forecasted for the rest of the week -- best way to start off my holidays! Hopefully these holidays I'll be able to do an outfit post with my new S/S wardrobe updates, experiment with some pretty make-up and my blog posts in general will be a bit more interesting! I'm officially able to relax and unwind for two weeks. It's going to be pure bliss as I have so many things I want to do. Like; go to the beach and get some colour and vitamin d into my blindingly white skin; wear my floral swimsuit (I barely got to wear it last Summer!) shown here and drink lots and lots of ice tea (new favourite) whilst reading the October issues of the latest fashion magazines. And, reading about other bloggers and their adventures at NYFW! I've been totally in love with the style showcased this year.

Onto the images featuring English stunner, Lily Donaldson. These Summery pictures were just too lovely to not post. Don't they make you want to jump into a pool, swim on your back in the ocean or just lie around and sunbake? Anyway, before I ramble even further, don't forget to enter my giveaway (I've also pushed the closing date back to the 25th of September, so get in quick!) and happy almost-weekend!

the oh-so lovely selena and spring

Yay! It's finally Spring here in Australia and I can happily say the weather has been just beautiful, improving since my dreary post about rain, rain rain. And also, happy fall for the lovely people in the northern hemisphere! Enjoy the Winter goodness that is coming your way! As for me, I'm planning to take advantage of this fabulous vitamin D to improve my somewhat white complexion. More sun means pretty sundresses, floral collections, beach trips, ice-cream and lazy days reading magazines and sipping ice tea. I'm getting excited just thinking about it!

I'm also finally getting over the dreadful flu and to lift my spirits I did a pre-Spring clean a few days ago -- I can't believe how much junk has harbored in my room the last few months! Oh well, a lot of it is now on its way to the Salvation Army; as they say, another persons' junk is anothers' treasure.

And onto the lovely snapshots of Selena Gomez. I absolutely love this editorial for Elle Mexico. She looks so classy and grow-up, ready to pursue her career in acting and singing. I particularly like the first shot, with those gorgeous flare pink trousers, she makes it look so easy to pull off! I, on the other hand, have attempted flare pants in a chain store before and they aren't the easiest fashion trend to follow. Well, enjoy the weather (wherever you happen to be reading this) as I am off to tackle another assignment along with some fruit salad. Happy Thursday!
