#ChocolatemilkShakeForTwo! 

Hello Hello, I bet you weren't expecting me back this soon! It's okay, I surprised myself too. I had a super lazy day at home, mainly working on my blog template. I am certainly not computer savvy so it took me a wee bit too long to work out a wee bit too little. How do you like my new header though? I'm not sure if it tickles my fancy quite yet but I'm giving it a go because I'm a kindhearted, good soul. Also because it took me waayy too long to put together to justify not having a spot on the blog for over 24 hours. And look at that little cootie on the right!! Leo Bear is vamping his adorable up a few too many notches for me to handle all on my own so I've shared. 

So these here pictures are a few of my recent Instagram shots and random iPhone pictures. I'm not an avid insta user on account of my limited photography skills (it's shameful, really) but hopefully that'll change. They are mainly just fun snaps of fun times with fun people who are my favourite. I hope you enjoy my hashtag captions, I got a little crazy with them. If you would like to follow along with my instagram I will have no qualms in the least, I promise ;) no, but really. You'd never guess my username: prettyromeo

That's all for now, friends as I smell marinated fish on the barbecue.

Hello, 2013!

So let's not mention how I haven't posted in a month. No, let's not speak of that at all ;)

A belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everybody or anybody who reads this. This little blog is nearly 1 year old! As is tradition around this time of year, I've compiled a short list of resolutions which I can hopefully stick by (but don't take my word for it, baby I'm not ready for that kind of commitment). For the blog, the biggest is just to post more frequently and to make it a bigger reflection of my personal style so it can become a visual diary of sorts. And what better way to start than with a style post? 

This little number is super casual and laid back - something I'm not too whiz at as I love getting fancy a bit too often. So I'm challenging myself this year to be more basic and dressed down; 'urban', if you will. The red skirt is lightweight and fabulous for the extreme hot weather we've been experiencing in Sydney or just loafing about town on a regular day :) I'm experimenting with the knotted tee that's been trending at the moment and I quite like it. I apologise for the barren looking garden, my parents are in the middle of re-doing it. And you'll have to excuse the pictures being a little cheesy, I'm not at all accustomed to flouncing about in front of a camera. All in good time, my friend! 

More soon,

(extra cheesy for your viewing pleasure, I know how you like that ;)

India

 

It's been a pretty hectic weekend at my house with the arrival of my grandparents from India who will be staying for three months. So I thought I'd finally get around to posting that India series that I promised so long ago. These are just a few photos from my summer holiday there last year with my best friend, Liz and my family. We visited a lot of ancient ruins, old temples, palaces and tombs from South to the North, winding our way right up to the snowy foothills of the Himalayas. The thing that struck me most about being in India (apart from the total culture shock) is the insane colour splashed just about everywhere. Designs running all over palace walls and intricate symbols just bursting with the most brilliant hues. I wouldn't mind one bit if some of those patterns were to be made up into a printed dress or 3 (as long as we're being honest, I mean 5). The country and the people are just beautiful and so very hospitable. I hope to return someday but after I've knocked a few more destinations off my "must travel" list. 

I'm sorry for the image overload in this post, I tried my best to be selective about which photos to use. Apart from Liz and I, all the people in these pictures are complete strangers who were lovely enough to let me take their photo. 

More soon, stay safe :)

A/W 2012-13

Hi there! Procrastination is reaching it's maximum over here. I have 3 days to pen 2 essays and, well, I'm blogging instead. I'm so happy I've almost completely finished university for the year! Anyhow, here's the Caterina Gatta collection A/W 2012-13 above. How spectacular are those prints?! I'm dying for pretty much every single piece! Below, I've added my favourite look from the S/S 2013 collection, the skirt was too fabulous not to feature!! Also, I'm so hyped for Christmas, it is the best time of year!! :) I will be posting more regularly after my exams. 

Happy days!

S/S 2013

Nineteen

    

  

So this past weekend I celebrated my 19th birthday with a few friends in what I dubbed a 'dessert party.' This meant a 4 course meal exclusively of desserts and with my friends, that sort of thing goes down pretty well. The theme for the evening was 'Vintage Hollywood' so I decorated with some trusty ol' streamers and photos of classic Hollywood film stars from the golden age. The theme gave my friends and I the rare opportunity to be thoroughly glamorous and so I employed the help of my sister to snap some pictures for keepsake. So here's my crew of misfits and vagabonds who scrub up pretty neatly on occasion. Sorry for the image overload, I was spoilt for choice!

Have a good day :) !!
