the graduate

I promise I haven't abandanoned my blog! My life's been incredibly full-on the last couple months and I just haven't found the time (or motivation) to update. I'm halfway through with the first...

first

I started uni again last week, and maybe it has to do with the fact that I'm starting a whole new degree, but I'd been feeling very blasé and unmotivated about the prospect of endless readings and...

a cautionary tale

Having not been blogging regularly all summer, I find myself paralyzed when I actually make an attempt to post. I've started this entry half a dozen different ways, and everytime I've deleted it...

nautical skirt

One of my birthday presents was a brand new lens -- I'm well on my way to becoming a real fashion blogger with my 50mm f/1.8 lens, haha. Now all I need is the photographer boyfriend and I'm all...

red polka dots

I've been a bit absent lately, I know -- that's because we've moved! The past couple of weeks have been filled with nonstop working and packing, and finally everything's done. Well, just about......

block

And so continues the summer of museums! This time we visited the Museum of Australian Currency Notes. A couple of inconveniently-timed moves earlier in my life meant that my formal education was...

black & blue

Angie took these at the train station coming back from IKEA. Haven't you heard -- that's where the cool kids hang out! Well, we're just in it for the meatballs. :) With working around four days a...

the justice & police museum

Woo, more museums! I seriously have about another few museum posts lined up, so sorry if you hate museums, ha, but there's going to be a copule more being posted. The Justice & Police Museum was...

happy 2013!

the australian museum

I hope you had a great and food-filled Christmas, I didn't do anything (as usual) but it's always nice to have a couple of guilt-free do-nothing days. :) These pictures are from a trip to the...

arty pt. 2

Cassie and I went back to the Art Gallery a month ago -- it's so big that we can only really take in one floor at a time; previously we looked at more classical paintings and sculptures, and on our...

a walk by the bay

Here's a different sort of post for today. I've talked a little about moving; my parents are having a brand new house built, and we're hoping to move in by early next year. So for the past couple...

a last day

It's been awhile! I wore this on my last day of classes of my undergraduate degree (!), which was (embarrassingly enough) nearly a month ago. The outfits that I'm going to be sharing soon are all...

the highest tea

thrifted Jay Jays top / thrifted Review skirt / eBay belt / Prada shoes These shoes hurt like absolute hell, but they were so worth it! As a (belated) birthday present, I took Angie to high tea at...

red white navy

On the day I wore this outfit, I walked past a girl wearing this exact dress. Gah, it was absolutely mortifying! I refused to make eye contact and she didn't look my way, but it's one of those gut...

big bow

I've been away for a bit, but when you get out of the habit of posting every other day, it's kind of hard to get back in it. I handed in my last assignment a couple days ago -- still got a week...

goofing around

The last post was a bit of a downer (understatement of the century?) but it felt...cathartic... to be able to finally write it down and accept that it was real. And now for some more upbeat stuff!...

let's try honesty

WARNING: SERIOUS CONTENT AHEAD I was talking with my friend today and the topic of bullying came up, and it brought to the surface so much shit from my childhood and adolescence that I thought was...

narcissism much?

Modcloth top, American Apparel skirt, Oasis shoes || photos by Cassie I was talking to Cassie the other day about how boring our lives would be without a camera. We're all about free entertainment,...

stripes

These were taken (aaages ago) with a self-timer and my old lens, you can see how out-of-practice I've become -- the two best shots and I'm not even looking at the camera. Ahhh, back to essaying!...

the state of blogging

For bloggers out there, does the thought ever cross your mind, "What the hell am I doing?!" That's how I've been feeling for the past couple of weeks -- it's like my motivation to blog has just...

flashy

I'm pretty sure that this is the first time I've used flash in my outfit photos, I can spew bullshit about stylistic/artistic direction, but reality's a bit more boring -- it was raining outside so...

pink & green & future talk

These pictures are from last week...or maybe the week before? Is it possible to look at pictures of myself and feel envious? Because it's been cold and gray and dreary lately, and I've been in...

flares

washed out pink

Ah, so blogging seems to have gotten away from me these past couple of weeks. I've been so busy with assignments, and then my laptop's just got another virus, so I'm currently posting from our...

the world at our feet

{valleygirl} cardigan, {poof excellence} top, {everly/modcloth} skirt, {oasis} shoes My midsemester break so far has been consumed with equal parts essay-writing and procrastination. I finally got...

boatneck

I basically wore the same outfit in July. Normal people call it wearing your clothes multiple times. You know, like normal people do. But since I'm a blogger, I'm OMG REMIXING SO TALENTED CREATIVE...

palazzo dreams

This isn't the sort of silhouette that I'd normally go for, but I couldn't resist grabbing these trousers for $10 in the Topshop sale a couple months back. And it's always good to try new things,...

sunlit afternoon

This was what I wore to watch the dance performance that I was talking about in my last post. So, contemporary dance really isn't my thing, but we were willing to give it a chance (despite having...

purple plaid

I've been doing a bit of volunteering this week and it's all about dressing (relatively) sensibly, so you'll be getting a week of pants outfits. Angie roped (re: bribed) me into volunteering with...
