Florals for Spring

I am back! I wish I could say I've been away doing something terribly exciting, but rather I was sitting at a desk for what felt like an eternity studying for my law exams. Exams are over now, and although my new job will be keeping me busy this summer, I should have lots of time to blog :) It was so hard picking a topic for my first post after all this time. There have been so many fabulous fashion editorials, a few new fashionista in the lime light, fantastic lookbooks, brand collaborations like Lanvin for H&M (I'm in love!), but in the end I decided on florals because even though it may be clichéd, I can't help being drawn to florals in the Spring. In Sydney we've had some pretty wild weather over the last month from storms to overcast cloudy weather & a few very random days (or half days) of actual Spring weather, but the sunny weather seems to have finally set in. It hasn't been much of a Spring, which is usually by favourite time of the year because the flowers are in bloom, you can wonder around in a pretty, floating dress without being cold or too hot, and there are those fabulous warm nights perfect so relaxing outdoors with friends over dinner or a cup of tea.

Here is a montage of pics which have been getting me in the mood for the sunny Spring days:

I'm back!

I can't believe I haven't blogged in 12 days! Things have been absolutely crazy. I've had a truckload of uni assignments which I've now finally completed. But the main source of stress was definitely losing the keys to my VW Golf, and having to wait for a week for new set to arrive from Germany. A word of advice to all who only have 1 key to their car - get another straight away! You never know what may happen to that one key, and having an spare will save you from the strife of having to call roadside assistance, tow truck companies, councils and all the other "fun" I've had to experience over the last week and a half. On the bright side, I now know that the chances of my car being stolen are so minimal due to those high tech anti theft systems common to German cars and I now have 2 keys. Ahh yes a silver lining... not sure if it was worth all the stress though!

Thankfully, even though I may have not had time to post anything myself, I still had a little time amongst it all to browse through some excellent material on blogs, magazines etc and get some inspiration. Here are some things I'm loving at the moment.

Isabel Lucas in Tourism Victoria Ad:

This ad is so beautiful. The Tourism Victoria ads always are. Isabel Lucas is stunning in a very down-to-earth and natural way. The two looks, the white casual dress and the evening look, make her look amazing, despite being such different looks. The "double life" theme is fantastic.

Eat Pray Love Soundtrack:

Absolutely loved the film. I highly recommend it. And the soundtrack makes for great background music to a lazy, chilled out spring day.

Fav quote of the moment:

Current lusted-after look:

they all hate us

I am obsessed with this look at the moment. So perfect for a casual, yet chic spring look. I will be definitely teaming a knotted white shirt with a flowing maxi in the very near future.

The Wow factor:

the raw power

Reminds me of one of Edward Scissor Hands creations. Ah-mazing!
