Transitioning to Spring in Uniqlo

G'day y'all!

Can you believe it? Spring is two days away! While I feel that the past Winter wasn't too terrible, I feel that my Winter wardrobe was beginning to feel repetitive and uninspiring. There are only so many times you can wear a collared shirt and jumper combination in a row before you start to want something else. So, when the Melbourne decided to give us a slightly warmer, sunny day I immediately jumped on the chance to bring in a new outfit that would be perfect for transitioning from Winter to Spring, and this long-sleeved, navy and cream striped dress from Uniqlo is definitely it!

L.L. Bean Boots

G'day y'all!

One of my most prized possessions in my wardrobe, and my life, are my pair of L.L. Bean Boots. Recently I have noticed a lot of people walking around Melbourne wearing Timberland boots, and I feel that Bean Boots can fit in as another version of this trend. This post may be bordering on seasonally inappropriate with Spring literally right around the corner, but considering Melbourne's unpredictable weather, I think that I may still have a chance on making this relevant. 

The Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale | My Experience

G'day y'all!

One of the biggest days on every preppy style lover's calendar is the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale. If you have been following my blog, you might recognise this name. Lilly Pulitzer is a brand that is one of the staples for the Southern preppy style. It is defined by it's fun, bright and colourful prints executed in classic styles.  The thing about Lilly Pulitzer, is, that they can be a little pricey, and on top of that, they are hardly ever on sale! Instead, twice a year they have a huge sale called The After Party, which is when they discount so many styles and prints from the year just gone by. All sales are final, and shipping is free (within the U.S).

East Coast Neutral

G'day y'all

Today's outfit post is a change of pace from my post earlier in the week. I feel like there are two extremes with my Uni wardrobe, and it is either super casual, like the leggings and pullover ensemble from Tuesday's post, or looking like I am on my way into the office, and not my U.S History lecture. For some reason, wearing just a casual jeans and a t-shirt never seems like an option for me. 

America vs. Australia | Casual Wear

G'day y'all! 

(I quite like that greeting, I think I'm going to keep it. What do you think?)

When I first started obsessing over all things preppy on Pinterest, I noticed a trend that was really surprising to me, and that was the level of casual defined as being "preppy". Suddenly, there were so many images of girls in oversized t-shirts or long-sleeves (sometimes called spirit tees) and running shorts. I am all for wearing what makes you happy and comfortable. There is no need to label your style, you do you! This was just surprising to me, that a lifestyle that is about upholding social etiquette and all that, if you will, would allow wearing oversized t-shirts and running shorts as perfectly acceptable attire to wear in public, with sandals no less!

Shopping Preppy in Australia | Seed Heritage

G'day y'all!

Seed has been one of my favourite brands since I started paying attention to it around a year ago. While it may be a 'Mum' store, I always seem to gravitate towards it. It probably has something to do with the fact that I always tend to dress like a soccer mum. While I was shopping with my Miriam during the week we decided to check out Seed and look at their latest Spring 2016 line, and oh my goodness, did I fall in love! I must admit that I was a little disappointed with Seed's Winter collection just gone. I struggled to find any piece that really spoke to me. However, I am so relieved to see that Seed has found their mojo for this new season.

Walking with Confidence

I am going to do something I haven't done in a blog post for a while, and that is talk about the weather. How nice was the sun today?! After a few dreary and rainy days, the sun was a welcome relief. I am rushing to get this post up by 5 because I got carried away sitting out in the sun with some friends this afternoon. Hopefully Spring won't be too far away!
