Orange sky.









Top: Zara (similar)
Shorts: Zara (similar)
Shoes: Marc by Marc Jacobs (similar)
Watch: Michael Kors
Necklace: Bea's Jewels

I can never pass up a trip to Zara when in Sydney. Heaven help me when I eventually move there! This shirt and pair of orange shorts were from my most recent trip and I have been relying on them both together as an outfit and as separates ever since I got home. Both pieces have been playing key roles in bridging the gap between spring and summer - shorts are perfect for weekend picnicking and the shirt works wonders during the working week.

On another note, how hard is it to focus on driving when there are all of these amazing flowers in bloom everywhere?!

Spring Trends: Street Style






I have always found well dressed girls out and about on the street to be more inspiring than any store display or magazine layout. Street style is dressing and fashion in it's most authentic state. Not only does the roster of Fashion Week shows bring us the latest collections by the top designers and influencers in the world, it also brings us the most amazing shots of people in the industry wearing their  best. These have been my favourite looks, or 'trends', so far. Everything is colourful, fun and most importantly, practical. Looking through these photos make me want to take everything out of my closet and play dress-ups! 

Which look is your favourite?!

In the Kitchen: Smoothie time!





Smoothies are one of the best ways to start the day, especially if they are done right! The aim is to get as much nutritional value into the one tumbler. Days when I have smoothies with my breakfast I have more energy, better concentration and no topsy-turvy cravings. If you have yourself a blender, water and ice then you have all of the foundations for becoming an ace smoothie creator. The best part is that there is no set recipe; you can experiment with all of your favourite fruits and vegetables until you come up with your own favourite signature smoothie! The two I have included above are my go-to's. Just add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water (depending on how much ingredients you include) and a handful of ice cubes, then blitz until creamy. Sometimes I use coconut water instead of tap water too.

What are some of your favourite smoothie creations?

Overalls.






Overalls: ASOS
T-Shirt: ASOS
Shoes: Sportsgirl (old)

Whenever Saturday rolls around there is a good chance you will find me wearing overalls. They are ridiculously comfy, practical and appropriate for nearly every weekend activity I can think of! Not to mention they have the power of bringing out the inner-child-of-the-90s that's buried deep down in your soul. Love them or hate them, they are everything you could want and more in a casual weekend outfit made for catching up with a friend for coffee, walking the farmer's markets or doing the household chores. And for that, I rate them!
