Tomboy Style

When Lucky Magazine asked for the Lucky Community members to show off their tomboy style, I jumped at the chance! Even though this baseball cap gets plenty of wear on the weekends (over my mohawk bed head), it's only been featured once on the blog. So here it is again, in an ensemble that doesn't include spandex and a sports bra - you're welcome. Like the tomboy look? Come on back to the blog tomorrow when I will be discussing the "sporty chic" trend and teach you how to rock it and where to shop it!

Recreate my look:
Gap jeans, Target denim shirt (similar), XXI denim vest, American Apparel tee, Gap clutch (similar), Goorin Brothers baseball cap (similar), Steve Madden high tops, XXI earrings (similar)

Double Denim

I recently came upon a new to me fashion blogger - Wendy of Thankfifi - and I'm enamored! She lives in Glasgow, which I visited in my semester of studying abroad in Manchester, England. I've already been inspired by quite a few of her ensembles and can't wait to get our own dog that can become a model in my outfit pics. 

Have a great Memorial Day weekend and I can't wait to share the details of our trip to Traverse City with you next week, but follow me on Twitter & Instagram to stay up with our fun adventures!

Denim shirt, Worthington peplum top (similar), Gap legging jeans, Jessica Simpson flats (similar here and here), Stella & Dot Lilith Fringe necklace

GENERAL PANTS

I'm most definitely not one to shy away from a good print, so I've been hard pressed to not reach straight for these new knitted treats.

Totally coincidentally, my favourite denim addition, features equally as perfect (and matching) aztec print detail.

Knitted trousers - the perfect option for the long-haul flight to LA I can't help but dread.

NEON ON NEON

In the midst of packing for my US/South American summer, I couldn't help but take a moment to snap my latest neon crushes(s).

Lots of excitement fast approaching.

This time next week, I'll be kicking back, relaxing (or possibly recovering) from what is set to be an indulgent weekend of bridal festivities.

Dress and shoes sorted, now all that's missing is the company.

Can't wait for my friends from all corners to fly into Melbourne and help me celebrate.

OMBRE DENIM

      MinkPink ombre denim shirt via Market HQ, Somedays Lovin dress, Tara Wolf chakra & zodiac bracelets  

Every wardrobe needs at least one denim shirt in my opinion. I now have a few, so I tend to look for differences in colour and wash. This is my first ombre denim shirt and it's oversized boyfriend style works perfectly buttoned up and tucked into shorts or simply thrown over a dress like this.

It's now just over two weeks before I pack up and head off overseas.

There is definitely something to be said about the 'travel bug'. Once it's bitten, each time you're hoping to visit just one more city, just one month longer. I'm well and truly hooked and love discovering new places, meeting new people and leaving my mark.

Places, people, experiences.

I'm wearing:
Floral trousers, ZARA
Heels, TONY BIANCO

Clueless Pairings

Am I slow? Does anyone else not get/enjoy closet couture?

Back in 1995 when I first saw "Clueless" I was completely enamored with her computer based closet program. Still am actually. You'd think with all the crazy technological advances that have been made this past decade someone would have cashed in? Either way, I'm still on the hunt! If anyone has a recommendation, I'll take it.

Also, whatever happened to weardrobe?

And no, I don't consider polyvore an equivalent! As if! I like, totally need someone to tell me when I'm mismatched!

is that really a "mismatch"? i kinda like it... haha.

Until then though, randomly pulling combinations from my closet will have to do!

button down - Walmart (2011); vest - YDE (2009); jeans - American Eagle (2011); 

necklace - Stella & Dot (2011); boots - Thrifted (2008)

Other Ways I've Worn This Denim Button-Down...

ARABIAN NIGHTS

Dear friends,

What can I say about these shorts, other than WOW! Pastel colours, high waisted and ruffles, absolutely winning combo, wouldn't you agree?

Double denim eat your heart out!

I'm wearing:
Arabian Nights shorts, Mink Pink, via MARKET HQ
Denim shirt, Pimkie

BT: "A Case of the Mondays"

Has anyone seen Office Space? If you haven't you should!

I definitely have a "case of the mondays," so I wouldn't blame you if you came around my desk, put on a fake-pouty-face and lamented the same.

I booked a trip down to the Dominican for January 7th and when I excitedly told my mom my happy news the only feedback she had was "why do you need to take two vacations in the same year?"
Oh mom. Come work with me for a week. Then it should be pretty self-explanatory. LOVE my job, but totally stressful.

denim shirt - Walmart (2011); belt - Smart Set (2010); skirt - Thrifted (2011);
boots - Sirens (2010); necklace - Stella & Dot (2011)

I'm seriously debating chopping this skirt off. I could easily make 2 with this amount of material... A knee length A-Line and a super swingy short one with the bottom foot and a half!
Also, behold this mess:

Sock Bun Fail!
