absence

1/ Brunch with my girlfriends @ Bills

2/ Weekend camping trip to Jervis Bay

3/ Celine presents for my mother

I know I've been decidedly absent from my blog for the past week, it was mostly due to the insane workload with College of Law. Since I last updated, I've been doing what I do best- which is eat and shop ♥

It will be back to usual trading hours this week! Stay tuned.

If you follow me on instagram (@thechicndamned) you've probably seen this photo already but I really 

can't get over how much I love this dress. I'm dying that I didn't get a chance to take proper photos but Sydney

was being rainy and the sun sets way too early these days. 

So, this dodgy iPhone photo will have to do for now.

1/ Spring means finding beautiful flowers on the sidewalk

wearing: one teaspoon shorts & wanted shoes

2/ my version of after work drinks 

i.e. ice coffee- shaken not stirred

5/ contemplating, contemplating, forever contemplating

kind of regretting my decision against this Equipment shirt now, worn with 7FAM jeans (worn here)

7/ I kid you not, walked all the way from Paddington to Bondi

wearing: Bassike shirt (worn here & here) Isabel Marant ra-ra skirt, Senso Bertina boots (worn here)

9/ feel in love with this michael lo sordo shirt (see behind meeee)

but the collar looked all funny on me, so I decided to take a picture of me and the funky lights in the change room instead

wearing: ksubi tee, isabel marant skirt, topshop shoes

Hope y'all had a lovely weekend!

I know I did, if you haven't- go and watch Hotel Transylvania. Don't underestimate the power of a good kid's movie
