➳ What I got for Christmas ➳

I've seen a few Youtubers and bloggers do this, and I always love seeing haul videos and posts that people make about what he get. This past Christmas was amazing, so here's a short recap of the generosity I received at Christmas.

 ➳ Fossil Boyfriend watch in rose gold ➳
I squealed out loud when I opened up this little gem from under my tree. This was a very generous gift from my parents, with a little note attached, saying how proud they were of me in finishing my degree. I wear it with pretty much everything & I love it.

 ➳ Kikki.K 2014 A6 Weekly Diary in 'Sweet' ➳
This was a very sweet gift from my brother for the new year- it's a really cute little diary. It'll help me stay organised, and it's got the most beautiful water colour illustrations inside. Kikki.k is one of my all time favourite stationery brands.

 ➳ Frankie 2014 Illustrated calendar ➳
For those of you who don't know, I l o v e Frankie magazine. Clarissa & I have often brought copies of the magazine to the other's house and poured over them. I have gotten the last three year's illustrated calendar's and this year's going to be just as adorable as previous years.

Thanks everyone, and I hope you were spoilt at Christmas!

Stay fab~

| The week that was | 10.09.2013 |

Sorry to say that the past week was highly uneventful- I didn't even get to spend any time with Mark, which really irks me, because I had so much uni stuff to get through, so please excuse a shorter blog post today, but I really REALLY enjoyed doing my mid week haul, & another will be coming during this week about other purchases. ^_^

Here's the weekly wrap up!


I have a serious addiction to watches. I have a whole bunch of them on one of my shelves & my mum and I come into my room each morning & pick one out to wear for the day, it's a bit glam & I love it. I love this because it's got such a nice rose gold colour, & the band is really comfortable to wear. I'm starting to wear a lot more rose gold accessories & this ties it in nicely. 


Sitting in a morning lecture, being distracted by my spring patterned pants.



I have no self control when it comes to plants in my room- I love how nice the green looks against the white walls of my room, & the little potted plants make me feel soothed.

Yeah, sorry it's a short one. Mid week purchases coming soon!

Stay tuned! x

| The week that was | 11.08.2013 |

Well, it's nearly 11pm on a Sunday in lieu of another intense week- I was made Production Manager of my Graduation Show team, which is responsible for creating and running the Grad Show for my course at the end of this year, so needless to say my time has been used up being in this role; not to say I am not grateful for the role itself. My tutor approached me and asked if I would perhaps be interested, and after careful consideration of her words, and the fact that she praised me for my infinite organisation made my head inflate a little bit, HOWEVER my new role has ensured my time is more valuable & for me to be super duper extra organised.

In filtered style, here is a wrap up of the week that was:



In a moment of frenzy, my need to arrange and tidy took over. I placed my succulents, my paper crane ornament & a stack of my favourite magazines in a corner and dubbed it the 'Lush Corner.' I don't know what it is about things being tidy and in their place but it has such a calming affect on me. I have looked over many times at that spot this past week, and it always manages to help me focus and cheer me up. 


Needless to say my love of jewellery (particularly watches) hasn't left me just yet. I had been eyeing off this chronograph style watch for a while, and they never had it at the store I worked at, so when I was out with Mark picking up my iPhone, I ducked into the store and nabbed the last one on display. I've been wearing it all week & I love it.


Some mood boards from the Grad Show meeting taken place on Tuesday the past week. Everyone was asked to create a collage based on concepts and ideas, which would be the crux of the theme surrounding the Grad Show. I cannot begin to tell you how exciting and invigorating it is to be surrounded by such amazing creatives, and seeing something big and amazing taking shape.


More meetings and discussion taking place inside the Rabbit Hole, which is the in house graphic design studio at UWS.


Taking a moment to take in some pretty moments whilst waiting for my bus.


My Emily-May took me with her to kikki.k to buy something with a gift voucher she received for her birthday (Happy Birthday again, my darling!) & I walked out with this little mint beauty. Everything is dreamy and beautiful at kikki.k & I love me some mint.


This leather bracelet wraps around twice and is so dainty and sweet. You can find it here.


My incredibly thoughtful bought me this very sweet peach hoodie, which I have been wearing for the past few days. It's beyond comfortable and I may never wear anything else again. This was purchased from Kmart, and in addition to this colour, there are a number of others, including a light grey which I was lucky to also receive. 


My attempts to be healthy were somewhat continued and stalled with this amazing Greek yoghurt berry combination of deliciousness and awesomeness- Mark and I shared this tasty treat on our day out on Saturday.


I can say with certainty this book changed me. Mr. John Green is a master conductor, and I am the little audience member totally entranced by him. It was such a powerful thing to have by my side this week, & it reminded me of easy it is to lose perspective when you're going through a rough time. After reading the many 'okay's in this amazing book, I decided I was going to be better than 'okay,' I was going to be 'great.'


That's it from me tonight- I plan on taking a picture every day to give a better idea of my week.

Stay tuned!~

Recent purchases & happenings!

Oh wow feels like FOREVER since I last put fingers to keyboard to blog. I'm in the last week of my second last semester of uni (still cannot believe that) & madly trying to get assignments done & an exhibition running.

Recent purchases are as follows!


I just bought this for mine & Mark's apartment- it's a Doctor Who TARDIS Space scene by AndromedousPrint. I got this coloured version & a black and white version- I love it so much! Click on her link to go to her etsy shop (◠‿◠✿) 

I love working at Lovisa & I hate working there- love it because of jewellery & hate it because of the amount of money I spend there. As part of my job I have to style my jewellery to showcase it to the customers, so I created a new look combining a french kiss style & pearls. 


This is a collared flower and pearl necklace, & I couldn't find it online but you can find this piece in store. This look is matched with a button up studded collar long sleeve chemise shirt, treated denim black pants, rose gold toed black ballet flats, & the following accessories which can be found in store & online:


Multi-strand grey and cream pearl necklace for $24.99. I love how classy pearls are on anything black- makes me think of Audrey in Breakfast at Tiffanys but much more. Find the necklace online here!


Rose Gold Boyfriend Watch for $29.99. I am obsessed with rose gold everything at the moment, & with all the silver/white pearl colours I'm thinking about getting the silver version of this watch simply because everything else is silver. Find the watch online here!


GOA Flower Diffuser for $25- I'm starting to collate things for when I move out, & in the midst of TARDIS posters & furniture, I thought, hey, that looks kinda pretty, let's get that. It releases perfume through its petals & takes on the colour of the scent, which makes it super awesome! You can find it here!


The Catnap Intarsia Scarf in grey for $29.95. I saw something similar in Topshop which I ended up gifting to a friend of mine (who is a self professed crazy cat lady) & I returned some weeks later only to find that they had sold out over Christmas. For the crazy cat lovers at heart- find it here.


And in other news, Mark & I had our first personal training session last night & needless to say it was awesome, & painful, & neither of us can walk this morning which I think is a good thing. 

I'm off to work!

Stay tuned!
