Black + Bonsai

Photobucket

___________________________________ 

We have now moved on to Ubud but here is a little outfit from when we were staying in Seminyak!
We stayed at the most stunning Villa, Bonsai Villas, which was Japanese styled and had these amazing bonsai trees around the pool. I've always loved bonsai trees! Also loving this low back dress in simple black.

The sun has only been out a little since we arrived so I am hoping for some more to get a bit of colour on my skin before we leave!

Slow Start in Bali [Photo Diary]

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket 1. Plane food
2. Our amazing villa (Bonsai Villas in Seminyak)
3. Cute restaurant we saw on Eat Street
4. Wall of mirrors at Cafe Bali
5. Light lunch
6. Pool side
7. Cute sweets

Finally we have arrived in Bali on Monday night after a long day filled with some unfortunate events! Our plane was delayed because everyone's luggage was not able to be loaded onto the plane. We ended up leaving all the bags behind and had to live without until this morning (Wednesday) when they were finally delivered! So I went out and bought some cute crochet bikinis (above), a black dress and a pair of thongs for cheap.

Last night we had an amazing dinner at the french restaurant, Pearl. It was probably the most expensive meal I've ever had in Bali, at the grand total of fifty-five bucks between me and Luke. This is the life!
Photos from dinner to come next!

Paisley Day

PhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucketPhotobucket wearing: Boots - Shooii, necklace - Low Luv (Eyegasm Brands 03 9528 7300), Dress - Tolani (Eyegasm Brands 03 9528 7300), vintage bag, belt and bracelets from Indonesia. 

I can't believe how overdue this post is, as I have been hoping to post it ever since before exams! I got to wear this little number last week with these boots that have been my most worn item in the past month!

So easy to wear in winter and a bonus since I can keep my legs warm in chilly temperatures AND still wear mini dresses! I've never owned over-the-knee boots and was undecided at first but I am so glad I got them! (It looks like Shooii might be having a sale too, so get on over there quick!)

I'll be taking this gypsy-like Low Luv necklace with me to Bali for sure. Only 4 more sleeps!

Wearing: Top - Secret Squirrel, skirt - forever 21, blazer - opshop, wooden watch - AB AETERNO, heels - rubi and vintage belt.
Luke wearing: wooden watch - AB AETERNO, jacket - asos, tee - New York and Nudie jeans.


I am so happy to finally be finished with my uni exam and able to post blog photos!
Last week me and Luke got to take some photos together in the sun (so much lens-flare up in here! All natural baby...) to show off these stunning wooden watches by AB AETERNO. We both loved the earthy red wood colour but I chose the smaller womens design and Luke is wearing the larger unisex design. So different and no need to choose silver or gold jewellery (always tough)! 

I also teamed up with Secret Squirrel (one of my favourites!) to giveaway one of these lovely tops! Check the Secret Squirrel Facebook (here) for the deets. 

What do you think of this double-whammy outfit post? I love Luke's Manhattan tee!

___________________________________ 

The title refers to both my grunge outfit and the fact that I am selling lots of my wardrobe on eBay this week. I felt like re-visiting my obsession with shorts and also pulled out this corduroy vest that I wore this time last year to Splendour in the Grass (seen here). 

I decided to sell some clothes to fund my trip away. Hard to let go of so much goodness! A mixture of brand new with tags and vintage pieces. Including neon, peplum, booties, Topshop, knits, Samantha Wills, playsuits and even more on the SpinDizzyFall eBay store. Good luck chums!!!

FLASH BACK - Indo Travel Video Never Released


FLASH BACK! 

Back in 2010 I went on a trip to Lombok, the Gili Islands and Bali and I made this travel film but I never publicly released it... (oh yes) untill now!

As I've mentioned before I'll be jetting over there again at the end of the month for a mid winter getaway. My 2010 trip was my fifth time to Indo (I think? I've lost track now!) and I still can't get enough of it.
I can't believe this was only 2 years ago when I was 19, so much has happened since!
Hope you guys like these!

Patchwork Repeller

Photobucket


___________________________________ 

I actually used the words 'man-repelling' the other day in conversation about these jeans. While shopping a girl complemented them however Luke has confirmed an aversion to them. Seems the sexes were split!
I do agree that they should be paired with basics BUT I love having a pair of jeans that can speak for themselves instead of blending into the background of an outfit. Not to mention they fit like a dream (... Oh wait, I just did.)
Gotta get back to my essay... ciao!

Rosy

___________________________________ 

This lipstick is actually a dark orange colour and one of my favourites. Wanted to add a pop of colour to this outfit on Saturday ... so lipstick it was! I've been waiting to wear this dress for weeks now because it is the perfect length for me and I love the cap sleeves. 

I keep talking about my trip away but I just know that all that is going to come bite me when I'm wishing for more time to study before exams and everything will be over in a heartbeat.
So this weekend will be a mix of blogging and study study study! Boo study.

London Calling

Photobucket

___________________________________ 

My first completely self-made gif has taken on a pixelated effect after uploading but I quite like it anyway! Still learning more and more each day.

It is completely by coincidence that I am posting these london-ish photos while the Queen's diamond jubilee is taking place but I felt this london inspired dress from SheInside was very fitting for the rainy days we have been having in Sydney! Such a cute print, right?

I jumped at the chance to actually use my new umbrella, that I bought it the preparations for MBFWA in May, since it was the first time since our rainy summer that it was actually needed!

I've never really been a huge pearl girl but Wildfox Couture have won me over with these earrings! Love.
