frankie diary giveaway

Dress: Asos Petite. Sunglasses: Rubi. Shoes: Kmart.

I am wearing a skater style dress by Asos Petite, I am really quite tall and in no way ‘petite’ however Asos Petite and Asos dresses alike always fit me perfectly, so I’d say buy your normal size and don’t be scared off by the petite label. I really used to dislike high necklines, they made me feel somewhat frumpy but with the exposed shoulders and fitted waist this dress pulls it off.

My gorgeous cat Lucius went missing almost two months ago and living in a big empty, lifeless house with just my boyfriend gets a bit lonely sometimes so we made the decision to get a new kitten. We have yet to name this little boy but he is so cuddly and playful, we love him already.

Dress: Asos. Sunglasses: Rubi. Shoes: Kmart.

This dress is one of my new favourites despite having owned it for months without wearing it. The gorgeous little back cut out exposes bra straps and therefore requires a sticky bra, which happened to infuriate me as my last one stopped sticking. The material of this dress is so light which makes for a perfect summer day dress other then the skirt loves going with the wind, needless to say a few strangers saw my bum the last time I wore it.

Also, I have a 2014 Frankie Diary to giveaway within the next few posts.

three long months

Dress: Angel Biba. Sunglasses: Rubi. Shoes: Kmart.

This summer I am branching out from my mostly black wardrobe and going for loud, bright patterns and colours. Walking past the store window it was hard to miss this Angel Biba dress, they were out of stock in my size but the shop assistant encouraged me to try on the size smaller and it fit! I didn’t take it off after trying it on; I removed the tag, paid for it and wore it for the rest of the day. 

Easy to tell from my other posts, I love skater cut dresses. The tight fit under my bust and flared skirt shows off my waist but doesn’t cling to my tummy (leaving plenty of room for coffee and cake). I also love the heavy material of this dress, making it sturdy and the wind does not blow it up as easily, which is a big problem in my coastal town.

This has possibly been the biggest three months of my life. My boyfriend was involved in a bad car accident when a semi-trailer hit my car on the highway, luckily he was not severely injured. We were left without a car or for a month until I bought my absolutely gorgeous new Nissan Silvia S15. My laptop was also smashed in the crash meaning I couldn't blog until this week when I bought my new Macbook Pro. Also, my perfect little cat Lucius went missing two weeks ago, I am an emotional wreck without him.

If I get back on track with blogging and still have any readers I will host a giveaway in the coming weeks. Also check the amazing raw, vegan, gluten free banana and almond bars I made. They were so delicious, totally guilt free and super convenient. Recipe by Oh She Glows.

 

vintage tapestry dress

This is by far my favourite dress ever! I saw this beauty in the window of a little boutique in my town, I checked it out and it was a quite pricey for my current budget and I did not to buy it. However, I went back the next day, tried it on and it fit like a dream, I mean it is like it was made for me, I decided to splurge and buy it. I knew my boyfriend would hate the material and when I showed him his reaction was ‘it’s hideous’ until I tried it on that is. I don’t usually go for high necklines as they make me feel a little frumpy but the exposed shoulders and fitted waist makes it all very slimming. I honestly wear this dress every time I get the chance. (Dress: Miss Cherry).

My boyfriend and I have finally moved into our own house. Our new furniture is yet to arrive and I haven’t found a spot for all my bits and pieces but we are slowly settling in. I still have three jobs and absolutely no time off work which means I don’t get to enjoy my new backyard but hopefully I get a bit more free time in the coming months. Yesterday I started work in the afternoon so I took the day to enjoy reading in the sun and picking avocados from our orchard.

Oh and by the way these pictures are taken directly outside my house, we have our own little forest!
