Dress It Down

I missed my Wednesday post, which I'm sure you were all very anxious about *cough cough* but I have my reasons! I went to a camp - well, retreat as our teachers called it - and left on Thursday, and was last-minute packing Wednesday night.  The trip was absolutely amazing, so much fun, and more of a reflective time than anything else. Of course, I wouldn't bother to tell you this if there was nothing to do with fashion in this little niche of my life.

I am the kind of girl that is obsessed with all things dressy - there hasn't been an outfit in a very long time that isn't way too dressed for the occasion - so I had quite a hard time with clothes. As it was meant to be very casual; tights, long sweaters, knits etc., I was at a loss. I don't even own a pair of ripped jeans for God's sakes. So off I went into the 15oC weather with my wind-proof jacket, tracksuit pants and one hoodie - yes, just the one. Unfortunately, everyone else had a much more extensive collection of casual attire, so for once I was the underdressed one of the group. Trust me, it's not a good place to be.

So I got to thinking; why the hell did I just realise now that I have no casual clothes? I mean, any normal teenage girl lives in her converse and tracksuit pants at home. What was wrong with me? And I finally realised; it's because every time I see something like it, it's way to un-dressy for me! I hate the lazy casual look, but that I-just-threw-on-some-Chanel-and-D&G-this-morning look was something that I really wanted to go for. So my lovelies, I did my research and this is what I found on the can-be-fabulous world of casual!

Sorry for not responding to any of your lovely comments or blog posts, I've had  a technology break, but I'll be back into the swing of things soon, promise! And if you haven't entered my first giveaway yet click here!

Here Comes the Sun!

Well just like yesterday and the day before, in Sydney we had a blessedly sunny and warm-ish day (24oC is pretty good for Fall!), and again it's gotten me feeling like running down to the beach. I miss Summer so much! Just walking around in a long shirt or shorts was a great feeling, and now that it's gone I don't know what to do!

Okay that's my rant, and I know you all don't read my blog everyday just to hear me complain, so as always I have some pretty pictures below to make up for you having to read that paragraph and these four lines of absolute nonsense! They just depict exactly what I love about Summer, so enjoy my lovelies, and have a fabulous Saturday!

Sorry for the picture overload, I just couldn't narrow it down any more! And today was my last day of school (woop woop!), so maybe my brain just can't be bothered... I know I've driven you all crazy with my not-so-new found Spring/Summer season obsession, and that I've probably made half of you already bored of Spring's celebrated arrival, but what can I say, I know what I like!
