knits and twists

We Don't Sleep When The Sun Goes Down. by Hollywood Fashionista featuring wrap jewelry

I'm a little obsessed, as you should all know, with Rumi Neely from fashiontoast (I've featured her here and here) She has the most amazing style, so simple and she loves boots and knits (remind you of anyone?). So when I came across this polyvore by Hollywood Fashionista on the official polyvore blog, I had to share it with you. I am having yet another rest day today, seeing as yesterday I went for a run (I'm so fit! Kidding...) and fell in a hole, twisting my ankle at a degree that it is not meant to be twisted at. I have a lovely home-done french manicure, I plan to sit and work on my dance-inspired post for when I finally get back on my feet. You should all probably look at Rumi's blog because you need to. End of story. And if you feel like lazing around, go for a run and fall in a hole. It's a great way to enjoy doing nothing.

Hello, lovelies! I do believe I am very close to achieving one hundred followers. Thank you to all who have already followed me, we are so close!

I'll admit, I spent way too long lying in bed with my laptop resting on my stomach yesterday. But in an odd way, it motivated me to get up and do something. I checked out the Teen Vogue website, (best magazine ever, I have a long-running subscription) and realised that I was now old enough to enter their snapshot competition! It's a competition where you send in a photo of you, describe what you're wearing and talk about your style. I tried entering it last year, and of course was turned down because of my age. Here I'm wearing my Miss Shop sweater and Pink Rogue Peter Pan collar top, (both of which you have seen here), my Rodarte for Target skirt, Coach bag and canvas military boots. Wish me luck!
ps. I changed a few aspects of my blog's look. You like?

campfire

 So I just had my first major birthday party, complete with  a campfire, roasting marshmallows and night bushwalks. So much cleaning up to do, including retrieving a phonebook from a tree (?), but worth it. I didn't take any blog-worthy photos, so I made a polyvore of some of the must-have campfire buys. It will make you want to get out your guitar and flashlight.

Small town world

So for Valentines Day, (still going on about it) my family and I had a quaint brunch in the cutest little town. I decided to experiment with the look a little, with the dress that I made and have never worn. Paired with my new boots from Target, ( I know right! $50!) and some mismatched bracelets, (The ones that didn't somehow get stuck together with a mysterious purple glue) it looked pretty cute. Not sure what the vibe was, but still cute.

So, just the usual has been happening. Math exams, boiling hot weather and a lot of reading (mainly The Clique). What's been happening with you, fellow bloggers?

Chambray love

This look includes my dad's shirt which I have tried so many times to style but finally got it right! With my Miss Shop boots, as always... they make every outfit better. The Dotti boater helps too, even if I can't wear it in public due to the lack of stability on my head.
