Spring is Here!

FINALLY! After many months of hibernating in mostly dark colours to reflect my attitude towards the horrendous Melbourne weather, Melbourne finally delivered a beautiful Spring Day on the eve of the AFL Grand Final. In case you haven’t already noticed, I like sun. It makes me happy. Pushing my coats and pants in my wardrobe aside, I opted for some bright colours and a floral ensemble in celebration.

My boyfriend decided he felt like making sangria for the first time. I didn’t object. So we set out on a mission to collect all the ingredients from the local shops – oranges, apples, red wine and lemon, plus a cheeky little carrot cake for my afternoon snack. The result? Bloody amazing for his very first attempt!

We absorbed the rays out at a local park with friends and chilled whilst listening to music at a nearby tennis garden party. With a craving for pizza, it was time to check out Old School Pizza in Brunswick West and it definitely didn’t disappoint. We destroyed a half Greek Lamb pizza/half Spicy Sujuk pizza, followed by a NUTELLA DESSERT PIZZA! Yes, you read that correctly, a NUTELLA DESSERT PIZZA. I have no regrets, they were all delicious!

As I sit here watching the AFL Grand Final, as a proud Melbournian, I must say, GO HAWKS! 

Until next time,

Casual Sunday Outfits

Yesterday Melbourne finally decided to direct rays our way for some much needed sunshine. After a big bridal shower afternoon the day before where I was rocking a beautiful dress and curls in my hair, I decided to keep my #sundate outfit with the boyfriend a little more casual. With not a lot of time to get ready for our lunchtime adventures, I grabbed a pair of my favourite jeans purchased earlier in the year from H&M in Tokyo, Japan, threw on a baggy tee by New Look, picked up my beloved Marc Jacobs bag and new Adidas runners for complete and utter comfort. I didn’t want to curl or straighten my hair so I added some Moroccan hair oil for some shine and put my hair into a loose half bun.

One of my favourite accessories would have to be my Ray Bans. They’ve been with me since 2009. Given the countless times I had feared that I had lost them, they’ve done well in staying alive over the years.

I’ve been searching for the perfect white casual sneaker/runner for the past few months with no luck. On Friday, I found these bad boys from Adidas at DFO South Wharf in Melbourne. With a 30% off already reduced items sale, these babies came down to $49. They’re actually running shoes so I’ve also worn them a few times to the gym.

Aside from fashion, my other great love in life is food. My boyfriend and I were craving some Jimmy Grants so we stopped by the Emporium food court to get our fix of the classic Mr Papadopoulos with chips. Delicious!

What’s your casual Sunday go-to outfit when you’re dressing for comfort?

With love,
