Mon at the Yoko Ono Exhibition

As I catch up on my blog reading, I realise that my mind has definitely been MIA these past couple of weeks especially with the uni break and I, alike others have dreaded this coming week with pillows over my head. I feel like I was just there...

And since my mind hasn’t been in focus lately, I’ve realised that I want to do so much but have little time to do them in. Thanks to a lot of reading, researching and looking through Broadsheet I’ve written a list of things that I want to do and some of the things include: going for a bike ride, have a picnic with friends, visit a museum, go on a hike, visit an art gallery, try an organic cafe, try a cronut (I can’t believe I haven’t tried this yet!) and the list goes on. So much so that I have a separate list for my ‘cafes I NEED to visit’ with my best friend. I think it’s about 2 pages long? Hehe.

I have always been the type of person to want to experience everything and go on numerous adventures, and as clichéd as it is, my motto is enjoy the little things. Life is short - the days go by so fast and it’s always great to go on adventures, meet new people and try new things. This year is definitely about me going out of my comfort zone.

H&M Launch

After months of waiting, the H&M flagship store in Melbourne at the GPO building has finally opened! The first nationwide Swedish retailer had its launch party on Thursday 3^rd before opening its doors on Saturday 5^th to the public. The store is one of the largest in the world which takes up the entire building and houses Australian exclusives as well as 4 departments: men, women, children and home.

During the launch party on Thursday 3^rd celebrities, designers, media and bloggers flocked the red carpet, and yes, I will admit it. I am one of the many who wished they were there AND that they could be there now to shop the amazing 3 levels. But if you love shopping, love H&M, who wouldn’t?

With beautiful furnishings which add to the atmosphere, the clothes, accessories, home ware and bits and bobs shine. The store becomes heavenly and I don’t think anyone would want to leave!

Here are some photos from the night and my overall favourites for the up-coming months!

Biker jacket $59.95 | Wide skirt $69.95 

Ankle boots $39.95 | Handbag $27.95 While studying for mid-semester exams, I’m also planning a Melbourne trip for a little shopping; I think shopping is definitely on the cards since H&M’s arrival. Don’t you agree?  ... and after looking at this now, I realised I’ve made an entire look! An outfit with a bit of blush and leather is always amazing and perfect for the upcoming months. A pop of colour is always best. Enjoy! Mon x  Imagesource

A Ring For Every Finger

L to R: M Ring, X Ring, Spirit Fine Skull Ring, Babyanything Fine Heart Ring, O Ring, The Prince Aquarmine Teardrop Ring, Destiny Sterling Silver Ring, The ‘LadyCapulet’ Diamond Ring, & Ring, Heart Ring

As per usual I am awake and the first thing I do is check instagram. I browse through my feed first, liking everything from scenery to layouts to food; secondly I check my likes and any comments, and today there was nothing so I quickly turn to exploring vsco tags. Through my continuous browsing this morning and previous browsing I’ve found numerous stores and I’m in complete love. 

Love? Yes, love. I have been in love with rings for quite some time and since the midi rings came into the fashion world, I cannot stop – losing some along the way of course. I remember buying my first ring stack from Lovisa and picking only the tiniest in size to put on my fingers. I loved the trend from the get go. I had rings on nearly every finger with some having two – as you do with a compulsion with rings and as I said, I couldn’t stop, so the more I bought, the more I lost. 

Obviously the price ranges vary and this is where it gets me every time. Don’t get me wrong, I would happily buy jewellery from Lovisa but I am compelled to buy rings from Baby Anything and Chainless Brain because they are just TOO adorable! 

Again, my love hate relationship with fashion is so obvious because the rings made out of gold and rose gold 18ct will of course be expensive, particularly being hand-made and I love that about these two stores. I know the hard work that goes into making them. My love is definitely being sent to you for making such amazing creations. 

Above are my favourites and yes, I do occasionally stroke the computer screen wishing they were mine hehe. It makes me wonder if I would ever lose them because rings love to slip off my fingers. I think I’d stick them onto my fingers so I’d never those them!
