Picnic at Hanging Rock

DRESS: c/o Ukulele Fashion HEADBAND: F21 SHOES: F21

My new favorite clothing brand, Ukulele, offers some of the dreamiest frocks I've ever seen. I saw my friend Annika's blog post featuring them - and I've been head over heels ever since! This high neck, frothy dress is a great example of the pretty dresses they are known for - pastel, floaty, and just plain gorgeous!

This dress definitely reminds me of one of my favorite movies, Picnic at Hanging Rock. The beautiful sheer details and high neck reminds me of the 70s does Victorian dresses the film showcases.





Spring in My Step

DRESS: c/o Missguided SHOES: Forever 21 BRACELET: c/o Pop Tones PURSE: Modcloth

Having the ability to find inspiration wherever you go is something that really comes in handy - you never know when inspiration will hit, and that’s what makes it so fun! Sometimes it’s the little things - seeing your cat walk towards you, how light filters into the room - and the other day it was choosing a beverage.

At Jack in the Box, I was selecting a beverage with the Coke Freestyle Machine when inspiration hit! Seeing all the colorful logos for the different drinks available from the Coca-Cola Freestyle Machine inspired me to put together an outfit based on my personal favorite drink, Caffeine Free Diet Coke Cherry Vanilla.

Drinking Caffeine Free Diet Coke Cherry Vanilla not only brings to mind delicious vanilla ice cream, and juicy cherries - it also quenches your thirst while keeping things on the light side. The vanilla and cherry combination reminds me of pretty pink and cream shades, and I put together this outfit based on the cute color scheme!

I really appreciate Coca-Cola Freestyle’s low/no calorie options, and was even mixing some of the beverage options together (Sprite Zero Fruit Punch and Sprite Zero Grape tastes really good together - who knew?)! I’m trying to stay on the low/no cal side of things, and having such tasty options definitely makes it a less intimidating task. You can try it out yourself using the Coca-Cola Freestyle Machine Location Finder here!

What was the last thing that inspired you?

DRESS: c/o Samantha Pleet BERET: Amazon

This dress, inspired by Alice in Wonderland and covered in darling embroidered motifs from the tale, is a new favorite piece in my wardrobe! Made with a heavy fabric and in the cutest bell shape, I'm positively smitten. I immediately thought of the lush garden Alice visits - only to look outside and see naked trees, an ugly grey sky and no flowers to speak of! So I brought the garden to my house with colorful fake flowers <3 Who else can't wait for Spring?!

Happy First day of February! The stores are all filled with pink, red, and a copious amount of hearts so I am pretty happy about that...! I've been staying toasty in this gorgeous faux fur coat by Jakke - it's the PERFECT shade of pink and has the cutest silhouette!

DRESS c/o Dahlia COAT Forever 21 BERET c/o Larmoni CREEPERS c/o T.U.K. Footwear

Finally after years of searching, I have found the perfect faux fur leopard print coat! I remember deciding I needed one as an Edie Sedgwick obsessed 12 year old. She always looked so effortlessly cool in her coat, paired with a stripey top and the most dazzling 60s eye makeup.

I actually found this coat on super sale inside F21, and I'm so pleased with it! I paired it with this precious dress by Dahlia - which I first fell in love with when I met photographer and model Annika White in person this last summer, a definite highlight to a very stressful month! She was wearing it when we met and it looked so, so darling on her. The sheer front overlay, scalloped neckline and sleeves - perfection!

The Pastels x The Coalition Zine

Friday, January 22, 2016


Anabelle, Chanel, and Clara make up The Pastels - three ultra-talented, gorgeous friends based in Australia who release beauty and lifestyle videos on their YouTube channel. I've been watching for a couple months now, and I'm always floored by their beautifully filmed videos, makeup skills, and genuine, hilarious, and adorable dynamic in their posts! BASICALLY I AM A HUGE FANGIRL OKAY.

Recently they released the dreamiest 70s inspired photoshoot ever on The Coalition Zine. I was absolutely gobsmacked by this gorgeous shoot and had to share! The dreamy filters, light leaks, sun soaked haze, and the girls posing like the coolest girl band of all time - ahhh! And, like everybody else, I've totally gotten bitten by the 70s trend and want a pair of flares, button down skirt, and camp tee...
