Celebrations
Two weeks ago - the week that my best friend turned 21. It's still so strange to think we are all grown up now (because it certainly doesn't feel like it!), but we had a really fun night at her 21st! Cannot wait for the many amazing times to come with this girl.

Becca Stadtlander - illustrative goddess
Becca Stadtlander is someone I stumbled across recently on pinterest, and have been obsessed ever since. She is an illustrator based in the U.S and her drawings are just exquisite! As soon as I have some expendable cash, I will for sure be purchasing some of her amazing work. Check out her website: BECCA STADTLANDER or purchase something off her ETSY. (Her pinterest is equally as great as her drawings too!)

Time flys by when you're having fun
I seriously can't believe that it has been almost TWO WHOLE MONTHS since I got home from Europe. A third of the time I spent over there, it has just gone so ridiculously fast. I don't really have too much to write about at the moment because lets be honest, since returning home nothing can really compare to the time I spent overseas! The first week of being home was great I have to say. I jumped straight back into everything, it was absolutely amazing weather (although I was sweating out every possible bead of H20 in my system - it was so hot), and I loved being back home with my family. I also worked and went to WOMAD which was pretty cool. I was so much back into my routine the first day I didn't really have time for jetlag. Don't get me wrong, I was extremely tired but it was all good, just powered through, ya know!
The next few weeks were not so good. Lets just say that the Europe blues hit me, and hard. It was a pretty horrible few weeks, but the last month has been much, much better. I don't feel as home sick (home being England - oh how the table has turned!) and although I still miss my friends overseas, I am getting back to my old self so it seems! I think I'll leave you with some snaps of my latest Adelaide escapades. Plenty more to come once I have some dollah dollah bils yo.

MBFWA 2013
It is pretty sad that I no can no longer write about wonderful travels but there had to be a time when they came to an end. Luckily, in the fashion world there have been some events to keep my mind off travel despair!
Last week Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia saw it's fair share of magazine editors, fashion bloggers, models and celebs which made each runway show as good as the last. Australian designers showcased their latest Spring/Summer 2013-14 collections, all of which were pretty wonderful. Overall, Australia's fashion designers followed in a fairly similar suit in the way of materials, with silk, lace and sheer paneling all playing a heavy part in many of the latest looks.
Stand out collections for me over MBFWA included the likes of Ginger & Smart, Vanishing Elephant, Alice McCall, and Bec & Bridge, all who presented lovely lines.
Ginger & Smart's last collection consisted of over-done fashion pieces that hindered their great use of prints and clean cut lines. However, their SS13/14 collection seems to repute this, teaming their signature geometric flare with a splash of floral and use of sheer panels. Electric hues were impeccably put together embodying the collection’s Shapeshifter name.
Vanishing Elephant's collection was a perfect mix between pattern and plain, presented as a blend of casual and dressed to impress. It is also the line where I felt like I could simply put any item on and feel comfortable and cool.
Alice McCall presented a flowing and eccentric line, balanced between soft and bold shapes. Geometric patterns, silk and metallic materials perfectly fit her blue, white and monochrome coloured collection. In particular I absolutely loved her geometric patterned pieces.
Bec & Bridge produced a line with a very similar colour pallet to McCall, although embodied a completely different feel. The classy sheer look of McCall's line was toned down in Bec & Bridge's collection for a more beachy and exotic vibe, highlighted through eccentric coloured floral and middle eastern inspired patterns.
Apart from the excellent fashion, there were a few runway shows that stood out from the crowd, simply because of the theatrics. Romance Was Born - a label that is known for it's quirky and innovative fashion was one of these. You can watch highlights of the show here:

Along with catwalk fashion, MBFWA saw some incredible street fashion. Looking at street fashion over the duration of any fashion week is always my favourite because there are so many fashionable souls out there! Here are some of my favourites:
Overall MBFWA repped some great Australian fashion. Here's to hoping I make it next year!!!
