Favourites | September 2016

G'day y'all!

Can you believe it is time for another monthly favourites post? I enjoy writing these posts because they are great to look back on and remember what was happening in my life at the time. For example, September was such a hectic month for me, but there were also a bunch of great moments that I would like to remember later on in life. This month, as I am scarily getting closer to the end of my degree, I have found myself reflecting on the friends and opportunities I have been lucky to have found in my life over the past three years. There have been multiple talks with friends about life, love, and everything in between that I have truly cherished. While the future looks like an endless, black void at the moment, I am trying to look at it as an exciting time in my life where the possibilities are endless. 

The Lilly Pulitzer Shift

G'Day y'all!

I am so excited to present you one of my purchases from the Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale! This is also my first official Lilly Pulitzer shift dress (not including my Lilly for Target dress), and I couldn't be more stoked about it. If you haven't heard of Lilly Pulitzer before, it is an American clothing brand that is iconic for its colourful prints with classic styles. The classic, Lilly shift dress is a staple for every Preppy gal, and now that I have my own, I can see why!

My U.S Postal Address | Auspost ShopMate

G'day y'all!

Goodness gracious (Ha. Get it?) the past two weeks have been super stressful. I apologise for the lack of posts last week. Just as I got back into the groove of posting twice a week again, Uni decided to give me two assignments due on the same day, as well as increased hours at work. But we got through it, and now I don't have another assignment due until the end of October! 

One thing that was a little pick me up during the week was the arrival of my Lilly Pulitzer After Party Sale order! If you read that post, you would have found out that Lilly Pulitzer does not offer shipping to Australia. Actually, a lot of my favourite preppy brands don't ship to Australia. In order to fix this, I thought that I should try one of the services that allows Australians to online shop from places that don't ship to Australia by providing them a U.S postal address.

Music for Spring

G'day y'all!

The warmer months are such a fun time, and I love having the perfect soundtrack to go along with it. One of my favourite things to do in Spring/Summer is create my S/S playlist for the next six months ahead. I do the same for Autumn/Winter and I find that both playlists have two different sounds. Whereas in the cooler months I tend to lean towards adult contemporary, and songs that are straight out of a 00's rom-com, in Spring and Summer I love mostly indie pop like Vampire Weekend, but also the occasional classic bubblegum pop and Top 40 dance track, with a little bit of country thrown in too. So much variety, but they are all upbeat and never fail in increasing my mood! Every year, there are some songs that are my go-to and always go on my playlist first. They are best listened to while looking at images from old J Crew catalogs, obviously. (The Spring 1998 is one of my personal favourites.)

Favourites | August 2016

G'day y'all!

We have officially made it to Spring! I am super excited about the next four months that remain of 2016. I feel like there are so many things coming up that I cannot keep track, and August was just the beginning. So much happened in August and I'm flipping through my Lilly agenda trying to remind myself.
