Wedding Celebrations - Rose

 A couple of weekends ago we celebrated my cousin and her partner tying the knot, it was such a beautiful day and apart from it being a little windy at the beach the weather was perfect.

Although the ceremony wasn't until late afternoon, the preparations for the day started fairly early. I was in charge of makeup for the bride and my sister and of course had to have time to get myself ready in between. I loved doing the makeup for both of them, it was so fun coming up with the looks to suit what they wanted and I was so honored that my cousin asked me to do it for her big day. 

The way the garden was set up for the reception was so pretty. Flowers, fairy lights and candles were scattered around the whole place and once it got dark and all the candles lit up it looked so magical. I especially loved the floral arrangements my mum put together in the mason jars, They turned out so well.

Unfortunately because the day was so busy I didn't get a chance to take as many photos as I would have liked. It was such an epic day and was so fun celebrating with my family.

Black vs Colour - Rose

I hope all you Aussies out there had a great long weekend and enjoyed celebrating our beautiful Country.

While scrolling back through our previous posts I realised that this is probably the most colourful post you have seen by me. Really it only contains two colours but at least the floral background makes it a bit more bright and cheerful. 

When selecting outfits I have always gravitated towards darker colours. It's mostly because when I am buying items I want them to be as versatile as possible and what could be more versatile than black?

Don't get me wrong, black is a great staple to have in the wardrobe but it really does change your mood when you add some colour to you day. Even if it's only a small amount in the form of this suede dress. 

Hopefully over the year my outfits will become a bit more adventurous as I try to add more colour. As for now I will let you admire my black kimono and hat which are absolutely a nesescary part of my wardrobe even though they lack any colour.

♡ Please excuse the lighting in some of these photos. It was so bright outside and my pale skin didn't help ♡

Heat Wave - Rose

It's getting hotter and hotter by the day in Perth and living in a non air conditioned house is starting to get to me. Don't get me 

wrong, I love summer but there's only so much sitting in my sauna of a room that I can handle. I've been trying to escape the house at every chance I get so have been using the heat as an excuse to hit the shops and keep myself cool... and sane. 

On a side note how cute is this crochet style vest! So far I have only styled it with these denim shorts and tank top but it's such a versitile piece to mix and match with different outfits. Extra bonus that it's nice and breezy for this 40 degree weather we have had lately too.

New Year, New Adventure - Rose

Even though the festive season is well and truly over and its back to work for me, I have still managed to fill my afternoons catching up with friends and family. BBQ's, birthdays, and casual drinks have all been on the agenda this week, it's no wonder that this month is flying by.I was shocked today to look down at my calender and see that we are already half way through January!

I refuse to let another year pass me by without my knowledge. Usually I am quite happy plodding along with no real goal in mind but this year I have decided I need to make a change. It hit me the other day that next year I will be 25! I know I still have a whole life ahead of me but it did freak me out just a little.

As Stella told me the other week, the year of the Horse is our year. This is the perfect time for me to get out there and make things happen. My main priority this year is to travel and experience new things outside my comfort zone. I haven't done much traveling at all and I am so envious of those who do it regularly. I really want to explore as much of the world as possible and seeing as though I'm young and have nothing tying me down, this year feels like the right time to begin my adventure ♡
