Goodbye Weekend - Rose

Work has been so hectic the last couple of weeks. Most nights I have been finishing late and have been getting home close to dark so I feel like I haven't seen the sun. I'm probably turning a sickly shade of pale due to lack of vitamin D - Not a good look for most. Its been lovely to have some down time on the weekends and not have to think about work for a while, of course Monday always comes back around before you know it.

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.

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.

Adventure -Stella

I have decided to transfer the first semester of uni to Sydney this year. My boyfriend and I wanted a change of scene and start a new journey, so as I have a lot of family in Sydney, we decided we would spend some time living there. 

We venture off this weekend, driving across Australia and arriving in Sydney in about a week. I am so excited for this new chapter. I really can't wait to explore another city. I've always really loved Sydney so I think we will really enjoy living there for a while. 

I will, however, miss Rose like crazy. I don't know how I will manage without seeing her everyday, but I know we will still remain as close as ever, and luckily Rose has some epic things planned at the start of this year too. We are continuing our blog of course! so keep following to see our upcoming adventures unfold.

ENJO Fun - Stella

One of our good friends has recently become an ENJO consultant. A few weeks ago she invited all the girls around to have an ENJO party. It was so much fun to get together with all the girls and see how the ENJO products work.

The products that really took my interest were the body products. They have face and body gloves to remove make up and use in the shower. I was so excited to try these out. It's been over a week now and I am loving them! Especially the little round pads to remove eye make up. They work so well.

This was my outfit for that evening. I am obsessing over this Everybody Talks maxi skirt from Ginger Owl. I feel like I have worn it to death since I purchased it a few weeks ago.

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 ♡

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!
