Adventure is Everywhere

Hat by Cotton On | Top by Deus | Shoes by Vans

I spent a day venturing the city on Tuesday and my perspective was very different to how it normally is – I unleashed my inner Tomboy and usually that means having a very different attitude. My quirkiness, bubbliness and personality come out by 10 and I’m sorry to my photographer; I made him laugh when he was supposed to make me laugh. 

Especially when I was trying to do the Mario jump. 

This is one of my favourite basic and simple outfits because it still has some style and comfort. My favourite pieces have to be my hat and my slides. They are both in my opinion staples and a hat is always an amazing choice as an accessory. I try not to complicate things too much or mix too many patterns but hopefully with time, I get a lot better at this and I can get out of my comfort zone. 

Overall it was fun doing this shoot; it was my first time shooting with him and from being sick with a high fever the day before from the flu I was told to take a ‘lazy day’. This meant wearing whatever I could grab with being the most comfortable.  

We searched high and low to find this brick wall in the heart of the city. We didn’t want to venture too far so on the way to walking to Darling Harbour I saw this wall and thought, let’s try it! I wanted a blank canvas and I think this was it. We did some stupid things in front of it, it was too fun that we kept going regardless of how people saw or thought of us. Could this be one of the reasons for so many similar shoots? I’m kidding of course. 

I’m always on the hunt for the next adventure.

Valentine's Day Outfit Inspiration

It is the last day of January and I know it's only the end of the month but the presence of Valentine's Day is everywhere and very present. In saying that, of course preparation is key when it comes to the most romantic day of the year. 

With the day fast approaching, my reaction and attitude towards it all is pretty much the same as last year – very chill and I have no idea what I’m doing. The only thing that is very guaranteed is that I am working on the actual day, which I’m not too fussed about. My question will always remain the same, what are your plans and can I please become your 3rd wheel? 

Being as it is the most romantic day of the year, I chose some amazing outfits, which I hope inspire you. I love each outfit and I focused on blush tones and tulle because both elements are very cute, quirky and chic. It’s something that can’t go wrong in any situation (in my opinion) and they’re outfits I think everyone can get a little inspiration from. 

I just love how each outfit can be worn at different occasions, not just Valentine's Day but then can apply throughout the entire day of it as well. I don't have a favourite, although I did try to pick just one. It was too hard but I will say that I am trying to hunt down a tulle blush midi tulle skirt! I probably won't give up. 

So for my plans this year, I do have some lined up to spend the evening with friends, nothing flash and of course, there’s going to be food involved. Preferably pizza, please! Now, although it won’t be romantic, it’s always a day where I spend it with those I love and are very thankful to have in my life. Happiness is hard to come and sometimes, we don’t know it was a happy moment til we look back and smile about it. Please don’t think about it and become sad. It can also be a day where you spoil yourself and pampering yourself is never a wrong option.
