TURKEY III

I've started to become so busy recently that I haven't gotten around to sharing the last lot of my holiday photos with you yet. I still haven't gotten back into the swing of being back at Uni, trying to balance everything and so I'm somewhere in this middle void between holiday mode and Uni mode. Looking at these photos make me long for warmer, carefree days...

the MIRACULOUS mundane

If you know me, you've probably heard me raving about the Romance was Born,  'The Miraculous Mundane' pre-collection at least once. My fingers have been itching to get my hand on some pieces from this super cool Willy Wonka inspired collection and this week I finally bought this lovely number....

FOCAL

Here are outfits we wore to Uni earlier on this week. The one and only thing I'm loving about winter this time round is the layering opportunities it brings with it. I always feel like it is at least 10 degrees cooler than it actually is, which results in my packing on layers of often quite mismatched pieces, without putting much thought into how it will look in the end(and the fact that I pretty much leave myself 2 minutes to get dressed before Uni doesn't help either).Now and then it is a MAJOR failure, and sometimes it just happens to work out. I'd like to think that this is one of those successful times.

TURKEY II

Right now I'm off to my first lecture for the University semester (the 2nd semester of my 3rd year - eek!). I returned back to reality i.e. back to Brisbane late the day before yesterday. Since then (as usual) I've been having massive vacation withdrawal symptoms but also at the same time I'm excited about catching up with my friends after what feels like eons and also checking out the end of season sales. Also, going shopping after a long vacation is one of those guilty pleasures I look forward to each time. This is because I love being surprised by all the cool new stock my favourite stores have gotten in while I was away! This particular photo diary is probably one of my biggest ones yet! and all the photos are from a single day!     On this trip my photo-taking was so varied from day to day. I had days where I took no photos at all and then I had days where I pretty much snapped everything in sight - these photos are from one of those days.
