Friday musings









{All images are from Tumblr}


Happy friday my loves! Hope you guys had an enjoyable week.

My week consisted of four exams and a day off which was great! My Design and Technology exam, Maths exam and Modern History exams went very well but my French exam, not so good! 

After my exams, I finished around 10:30am and got home around 11:30am and lay out in my backyard for a while, hoping to get a slight pre-summer tan. My mission proved successful as I am starting to see a faint bikini line. 

I have a three day weekend ahead of me before my final exam on Tuesday morning. Next week is my last week of school and then I'm on holidays for two weeks which I am looking forward to tremendously. Once school resumes however, I am officially in year 12 and therefore starting my HSC. It's crazy how fast time flies.

Love,

Shopping day with Emma in the city


I finished my maths exam at 10:30 this morning, so I spent the rest of the morning shopping at MidCity and the Pitt street Westfield with my sister Emma. I am currently in the process of finding an outfit to wear to the Topshop opening but unfortunately I didn't find anything today. Alas, I bought a new blazer and some lovely jewellery.

But perhaps more exciting was the completely unexpected discovery Emma and I made in the form of the new Ladurée store outside Mulberry on the designer level of Westfield. I have been in love with Ladurée since I first discovered it in Paris a few years ago. I remember it fondly as it was the first place I successfully spoke French to a local and they understood me. After drooling over the gorgeous window displays, I was so excited to grab a box of Caramel à la fleur de Sel (salted caramel) macarons but I was unwilling to wait in the extremely long line that curled around the entire store. Unfortunately, I will have to wait a couple of weeks to satisfy my Ladurée craving! 


In the way of purchases, I bought this bright pink blazer at Cotton On for $49.95 and I love it! I have a fairly monochromatic wardrobe and this blazer definitely brightens up my wardrobe. The fabric is nice and light, so I'll be able to wear it during the summer months as well as during winter. Plus, I can wear it with tonnes of outfits. 


Since summer is on it's way, I wanted to get some nice jewellery that I could wear all summer long. I headed over to Sportsgirl because they always have really amazing pieces at pretty decent prices. I picked up this beautiful anklet that is decorated with a few blue beads and have not taken it off all day. I always tend to associate anklets with summer and the beach, which is where I will be wearing this one for sure. 


The other accessory I bought from Sportsgirl was this really delicate and simple cross bracelet. I have this random obsession with cross jewellery and when I saw this I had to have it. I love how elegant it is and that it is simple enough for everyday wear.


All in all, a successful shopping day!

Apologies for being MIA

Hello lovelies, I am so sorry for being MIA over the past week or so! I have been busy studying/procrastinating in preparation for my exams which are this week. But I absolutely promise to be more efficient and on the ball with my blog once my exams finish next week.

Once my holidays start I will be posting a lot more frequently! I have a few ideas for beauty posts, travel posts and outfit posts, so keep posted. Also, I will be attending the grand opening of Sydney's first Topshop store at the beginning of October so look out for my post on that. I am expecting that it will be an amazing event and I am so excited. Even though I haven't found the perfect outfit yet, I am hopeful I will find something amazing. After my exams next week I will be running around the city trying to find the perfect dress. Fingers crossed my mission is successful!

Recently, I have become absolutely obsessed with Polyvore! It allows me to express my creativity and it inspires me. You can check out my page here and just so you know, I follow back everyone who follows me :)

Lots of love and I promise to be on more frequently at the end of my exam period!

Kisses,
