"You are the books you read the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in. You are what you take from these. You are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner. You are a collective of every experience you have had in your life. You are every single second of every single day. So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and let the colours fill your mind."

This quote is a favourite of mine. I hope you had a wonderful week and an even blissful weekend. This weekend is pretty busy for me; I have a driving lesson tomorrow, seeing a movie on Sunday, shopping for a costume for my school's annual dress-up day and *attempting* to finish lots of homework. xo

Happy Monday! Hopefully you are having a wonderful start to the week! I used to hate Mondays, but I don't mind them as much any more - the sting of a new week is eased slightly by having such good subjects. My weekend was crazy! On Saturday, my sisters and Mum and I went shopping and I decided to blow half of my work pay on two new dresses, a vintage inspired tea flask from Typo, a new magazine and a cute sweater top. I went into Temt (guys... this store is just... so good) and tried on two dresses that I couldn't decide on, so I decided to buy both. This one I'm wearing here is my 'Twiggy' dress. It's such a pretty little shift and I love the beautiful quality and colour of the fabric.
Saturday night was a blast too; I went out to dinner with some old and new friends to celebrate a sweet 16. We walked along the Esplanade and then had some cake in the hotel room. Yesterday Lily came over and we did multiple (hilarious!) challenges and you can watch my video here and the chubby bunny challenge here. 

Have you bought anything pretty lately? Please tell me! I'd love to know :) Lots of love xo

blue skies // july favourites video!

Skipping the school sporting carnival (doctor's orders... no excessive sunlight whilst on Roaccutane... what a shame) and heading to Mooloolaba beach was the perfect way to finish off this week. I also decided to film a July Favourites video for you all, so enjoy it! I hope you all have a spectacular weekend and I'll see you all soon. Lots o' love! xo

 

winter playlist // 2013

Hello all! How are you? I can't believe we are already in August, that is absolutely crazy! In less than 4 months I will have finished my second last year of high school. Anyway, I wanted to have a little rant about this dress: so, I ordered it from Asos (in the colour nude) and it arrived today and the colour matches my skin perfectly (not a good thing)! I didn't realise until I went back over these pictures how unflattering it was! Can you relate? I've been having #palegirlproblems since day one and am very much looking forward to Summer so I gain at least a little bit of colour. Gosh darn it! So sick of matching my dresses... literally!

I haven't done one of these 'playlist' posts since this one here (over five months ago!), so here we are again. Enjoy... and thank me later ;)

P.S: A few awesome links for you guys to have a look at! This video by Katy was absolutely brilliant, she is such an eloquent speaker and I am so inspired by her. This beautiful cross necklace from myjewelrybox, would look so lovely and simple with a plain tee and printed skirt. These shoes, this article, this makeup palette and this bag. Eep... I should be saving for car...
