a cold snap

Thrifted anorak, H&M long-sleeved tee, thrifted skirt, Doc Martens 1460 boots, watch from mum

 An outfit post? Is this the real life?! Well as they say there's a first time for everything, so this is just what I wore to uni yesterday. It's that ridiculous time of year when the weather's freezing in the morning and the sun decides to show itself around midday, so no matter what I wear it's a lose-lose situation.  The only good thing to come out of it is the fact that I can finally break out my Doc Martens again! I've had these babies for years now, but still haven't managed to break them in properly. In fact, I'm trying to wear them out more often now, but I seriously don't think it should be taking this long...

 Anyway, you'll have to excuse my chronic bitch face and the fact that my skirt decided to migrate in totally different directions. Taking your own outfit photos without a remote is actually really hard, and I take my hat off to anyone that's perfected it... I think I'll have to leave off there then, because right now I'm procrastinating from an assignment and apparently that's prime time for my creative blogging juices to start flowing. Bye and I hope you're having a great week so far! 

anything could happen

 Just a few photos from last weekend, which was spent celebrating with cousins who coincidentally share a birthday! Don't get me wrong, I love going to kid's parties and all but I can't help but feel a little old when surrounded by so many babies... it didn't really help that the (younger) birthday girl's obsessed with Hootabelle, and I'm too old to even know what that is!

 Anyway, the majority of my day involved lots of delicious food and chilling with the family, so what's not to love? Lately I've been feeling the stress of uni and where I'm even going with it, so it's nice to go out occasionally and stop myself from dwelling on my thoughts for once. Hope you're having a great day and see you soon!

ponderings and purchases

 As of this week I'm at uni again, cue sad face and an onslaught of assignments before the end of semester approaches. Anyway, what better way to ward off the post-break blues than with a spot of shopping? If there's anything you should know about me it's that I like wasting money on novelty stuff, which can be problematic when trying not to look like I wear the same thing everyday... In all honesty though, clothes shopping is a huge hassle to me, so I rarely do it unless I'm in a specific mood. Moving on with the stuff I got!

 Various things I picked up from Daiso, aka the best store in existence. Even though the price of $2.80 an item is expensive by global standards, it's so hard for me not to grab everything in sight whenever I'm there... I always manage to find stuff I never even knew I needed!

 Floral shirt from Lipsy and knit jumper from Miss Shop. Once again I'm in a rut of buying too many black clothes, but at least I kind of have an excuse since winter's on its way again... 

 Nothing like some new nail colours to lift my spirits. I don't know what it is but lately I'm really obsessed with painting my nails... so much so that seeing them bare is weird to me now. This could become a really bad habit, but at least my nails will look decent as a result!

 As I type this, I can't stop thinking how crazy it is that tomorrow will be May... it's that point of the year when I notice how fast the months have flown by, and get sad knowing I haven't done anything really memorable! Thankfully I have stuff coming up to keep me busy, so that should be an excellent way of taking my mind off bigger, more depressing things in the meantime. Hope you all have a great week, and see you soon!
