Back to Reality - Rose

So I am home...and it sure is nice to be back. As much as I loved spending my days in the summer sunshine of the USA theres nothing quite like your own home. Of course my post about the states will be coming as soon as I sift through my copious amounts of photos but I thought I would do a little update until then. 

It has been such a drastic change in the weather coming back to Perth right in the middle of winter, I almost forgot how icy cold and windy it can be. Despite the chill in the air the sun has still been shining which I love. I think I'm in denial that it's now time to start thinking of work again, the last 2 months have gone way too fast. I guess its time to get back to reality.

Snuggling up with blankets and sipping tea is how I've been spending my evenings lately. As much as I am embracing winter, I am excited for my escape to a summer location this weekend. Justin and I have planned to go to USA over my mid year break from uni. I cannot wait, as we will be there in the middle of their summer. I will be meeting Rose over there in a few weeks and once again, we will be reunited! I cannot wait. Make sure you're all following us on instagram to stay updated with our travel adventures.

New Wheels - Stella

Since I have recently moved to Sydney, I do not have a car. I left my car and a lot of belongings back home, as I only plan on staying here for the first semester of uni this year. We are renting a room from my brother in an apartment in Newtown which is very close to my uni. More importantly, Newtown is filled with bars, restaurants and great little vintage clothing stores. I am loving living here. 

I thought it would be a great idea to buy a bike. It's an easy way for me to get around and a faster way for me to get to my uni. I got this beauty on gumtree for $100. It is practically brand new. I am so excited. I love the retro look of this bike and the basket is perfect to carry any food shopping or textbooks.

Gypsy Family - Stella

Recently, I had the pleasure of spending the morning with Helen from Gyspylovinglight. Helen is so inspiring, she always looks like an absolute goddess in her pictures. When given the opportunity, however, she loves to switch it up and get creative behind the camera. I was lucky enough to be shot by Helen for the second time a few weeks ago. We headed down to our local beach to create some magic together. I am so happy with how these pictures turned out and I learnt so much when shooting with Helen. This woman is incredible!

Helen and I met about a year and a half ago when she was looking for some occasional help with her kids. I am studying to be a primary school teacher and absolutely love children so I met with Helen and I have been helping her out ever since. Her two children are so beautiful and I love spending time with them whenever I can. They have so much joy, energy and life and they bring me so much happiness when I get to hang out with them. I feel blessed to have met Helen and her family and I am so grateful to her for everything she has done for me over the last year and half.

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 ♡
