Holidays - Rose

Despite not working this week as I am officially on holidays/ unemployed, I have been so busy. I have spent most part of it washing, packing and rushing to the shops to sort out the last minute things before I jet set off to America. Of course, there has been plenty of time for late sleep-ins as I do not enjoy the mornings at all.

The weather in Perth has been pretty chilly lately, so it's been nice to be able to layer up a bit more. It makes an outfit look so much better in my opinion. I'm not quite ready to ditch my denim shorts yet so wearing stockings under them is the perfect way to warm them up for the cooler months.

Autumn Days - Stella

I love the weather at this time of year. The nights are cooling down, but the days are still sunny and warm. We are coming into winter fashion which really excites me too, as I love jackets, jeans, over sized jumpers and leggings. I can't wait to start layering outfits and get all rugged up. 

I wore this outfit out to a late lunch the other day. I had the afternoon off uni so I spent it strolling around Glebe and enjoying an afternoon lunch and drinks at the local pub there.

There are still so many areas in Sydney I am dying to explore! I especially can't wait to venture out to some more of the coastal areas. They are so beautiful over here.

Easter Break - Rose

Long weekends are the best, I have had such a great little break. I'm actually off to America in a couple of weeks to do a bit of traveling so most of my time was spent hanging out with my family and planning for my trip. I didn't realise how many little things there were to organise prior to leaving. Travel cards, visas, insurance, hotels, hostels and flights are just a few of the things that have been consuming my mind over the last few weeks. I can't wait to finally get on the plane and be able to explore a new country. 

Amongst the preparation, I did find some time to chill out at our Easter breakfast down by the beach. I am loving this cooler weather which has been making an appearance lately, I absolutely love winter fashion and can't wait to drown myself in beanies, coats and scarves. I am obsessed with my shaggy vest from SportsGirl, this piece will definitely be getting A LOT of wear this winter.

The Lion King - Stella

 Last week, my Mum and my step Dad flew to Sydney to celebrate my Mums 60th birthday with us. It was so great to see them and we had so much fun celebrating with them for a few days. Justin and I bought us all tickets to the Lion King musical that is currently in Sydney. Mum and I are a huge fan of musicals. We have never experienced a musical quite like this though. It was amazing!

The costuming was incredible! I could not get over it. The singing, dancing and stage set ups were insane. It was such a great night and I highly recommend seeing it if you are in Sydney. 

I hope you all have a happy Easter and enjoy the long weekend.

Leather Trend - Rose

The leather look is on trend again this season. This means I get to recycle one of my fave skirts again for fall/winter which makes me very happy. 

Featured below, this skirt adds such an effortless edge to my outfit. I love the asymmetrical hem, along with the quilted texture of the fabric which is also making an appearance this season. Paired with a baggy tee and my Windsor Smith 'Chunks' its perfect for a chilled out Saturday afternoon.

Uni Life - Stella

This last week, all my time has been spent doing uni work. It’s always the way, everything is all due at once and my stress levels hit the roof. Some weeks during the semester, I feel like my life completely revolves around uni work. This week has certainly been one of those weeks.

Earlier in the week, before things got too crazy, I was able to spend an afternoon hanging out by darling harbour, getting lunch and going to the Imax cinema, which was incredible. Darling harbour is such a beautiful area, I love checking out all the great restaurants and bars around there.  It was nice to have a relaxing afternoon before the chaos of my week began.

Exploring - Stella

Moving to a new city for a little while is one of the best things I've ever done. It's so much fun to be surrounded by unknown places and unknown people. I have had so much fun exploring Sydney the last few weeks. I was getting to know Perth all too well and it was becoming a little boring to me. Spending my days venturing out and discovering new things has been amazing. This day was spent walking around my local suburb, Newtown. I came across this park with this huge tree and thought it would be an awesome place to stop and shoot some pictures.

Last Days of Summer - Rose

Summer is slowly fading away so I have been making most of the weather before the clouds come rolling in. Apart from the odd Breaking Bad episode here and there, I spent most part of the weekend at the beach which is quite unusual for me despite living so close. With a lot more spare time on my hands now that my partner in crime has moved, I have really been enjoying soaking up the rays and capturing some beautiful sunsets. What a shame summer is now coming to an end just as I am beginning to appreciate its beauty.

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.
