Stella- Festive Season

This festive season has been so joyful for me. I absolutely love this time of year. I have spent so much time relaxing with friends and family, eating enough food for the rest of the year, and turning into a complete water baby, enjoying long days by the pool or at the beach. 

I love a casual summer dress paired with a hat and covered in plenty of jewels. This hat by Milana has been one of my staple wardrobe pieces this season. I also am obsessed with my crystal necklace with the little feather feature on it from Mercy ST Collective. So amazing!

I hope you all loved your christmas as much as I did and if your still on holidays - make the most of it!

Accessorising - Rose

I just wanted to quickly share this adorable play-suit with you guys, I have already been living in it so much lately due to the humid Perth weather. When I saw it I couldn't resist the purchase, plus the lace detail around the bottom is too cute to walk away from. 

Lately I've been adding lots of accessories to my outfits, Rings, hats and flower crowns are some of my favorites at the moment. I never used to be a huge jewellery wearer, mainly because I hadn't come across any that I really loved or suited my style. Slowly my collection is growing with a range of treasures that I adore, I have also been spending my spare time getting creative and making my own pieces over the last few weeks. Its so fun to come up with new ideas and make something of my very own. Keep an eye out in our up coming posts to see some of my creations.

I hope you're all enjoying the lead up to Christmas and the last few weeks of 2013!

Stella - Working with Gypsylovinlight

Recently, I was lucky enough to be photographed by the amazing Helen Janneson Bense a.k.a Gypsylovinlight. For those of you who follow her, you will know how absolutely amazing she is in front of the camera, but little did you all know, she is also very passionate about photography herself and she is just as incredible behind the camera, as she is in front. 

 Helen told me she missed actually being able to take shots herself and that she was excited to get the camera back in her hands and get creative. Working with Helen was so inspiring. She captured some amazing moments and we had so much fun together.

If any of you haven't checked out Helens blog or Instagram, you have to have a look, she is such a beauty that constantly shares such magnificent photos that feature the most beautiful clothes and jewels.

China - Stella

For those of you who follow our instagram account, you will know that I recently visited China for a holiday. The trip was actually purchased by my boyfriend and I as a package from Scoopon and it ended up being so worthwhile and such great value. I had just finished my uni for the year so it was a perfect time to go on an adventure and celebrate the end of semester. 

China was an incredible country. We spent 10 days there and we were not ready to come home at all. There is so much to see. Some of the highlights for me included The Great Wall of China, Shanghai city and visiting several different local markets. We did the tour with a group of people and we were lucky enough to have such an amazing group to travel with. We met people from all over the world and formed some great friendships.

We took so many photos on the trip, but here are just a few I thought I'd share.

China is different, but it was honestly one of the best parts of Asia I have visited. I highly recommend going to check it out yourselves.

Short Story - Rose

I am really into shorts for this summer, the colours and prints that I have seen around lately are amazing. Usually I struggle to find the perfect pair because I am quite fussy about the cut, I much prefer a higher waist and find them so flattering on almost every body shape. 

This season I have come across so many that have such a great fit. The ones below are just one pair of many that have been added to my wardrobe in preparation of the warmer months. I spotted them on a brief shopping trip after work and couldn't resist the plaid print and tie up waist, they work perfectly paired with this plain tee and statement necklace.

End of Semester - Stella

For all of you who study,  I am sure you can relate to the happiness and relief we all experience when the semester ends. I am studying primary school teaching at Edith Cowan University and the last semester has been insane. After finishing my exams and handing in all my assignments, I started a month long prac teaching year fours. It was amazing, yet very exhausting. Friday was my last day and it feels incredible to be finished. The weekend was spent relaxing and catching up with all the people I missed while I was busy with all my study. I'm so excited about this summer break! I'm really going to enjoy the well deserved time off.

Little Black Dress - Rose

I adore a simple black dress. I love the versatility and the effortless style that comes with such a plain piece, it's definitely a must have in every wardrobe. 

This dress is perfect for the lovely weather we have been having. The loosely fitted shape is so comfortable and easy to wear and I love the frill detail around the bottom - So cute! I paired it with my favourite black boots and a felt hat for a more casual style on Saturday, it's amazing how such a basic accessory can make an outfit.

Playsuit Fun - Stella

Spending lazy days at the beach and enjoying the sunshine over the weekend made me so excited for summer to arrive. I can tell my new playsuit will be a staple piece in my wardrobe for the warmer months. I am obsessed with the bright colours and patterns. This beautiful weather makes me so happy and I can't wait for more.

Breakfast by the Sea - Rose

I am such a sucker for play-suits.
 There was definitely no hesitation on what to wear to breakfast over the weekend. 

It was so nice to soak up some sun and eat some yummy food after spending the week indoors.
