Spring Wedding

ASOS, fashion, spring, weddings

I attended the wedding of an old family friend on Sunday. It was a glorious day, not too warm and thankfully not rainy – just perfect for a church wedding followed by a picnic-style reception. I had so much fun dressing up for the big day too!

Dress – Paprika, Fascinator – birthday present!

Close-up of my eye makeup on the day – it’s a simpler variation of the look I did here. Unfortunately, I made one HUGE mistake…I didn’t wear waterproof mascara. This is very bad because as soon as I saw my friend (the groom’s sister) walking down the aisle as a bridesmaid, my eyes started leaking a bit.

All in all, it was a glorious day to celebrate the union of two lovely people. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter how big or small the wedding, seeing two people happy to be starting their life together is what really makes it special.

Dreaming of Summer Fun

ASOS, fashion, Shopping, summer

Its a beautiful day and I’m sitting at my desk, thinking about eating ice cream on the beach when I should be thinking about psychiatry terms. To make it worse, a package of goodies arrived from ASOS this morning full of new summery clothes. Then I remembered some other new summery clothes in my wardrobe that are eagerly awaiting their debut when the hot weather comes…

Three long weeks – and 1 psych assessment, 1 OSCE and 4 exams – away from FREEDOM! Then I can go back to thinking my manicure is just as important as finishing my assignments.

Are you dreaming of summer too?

goodies from Asos Australia

The UK online fashion superstore ASOS has just opened up virtual shop down under! ASOS Australia is now officially here (just in time for some well needed study break distraction!).

As if you needed more incentive – standard shipping in Australia is free! Hooray! They are also offering delivery within 8 standard days, which is excellent! They have tons of great brands that are hard to find in Perth, like ALDO (available in the East Coast), River Island, Vero Moda, Warehouse, Oasis….

I must finish now because I have to go shopping online!

ps. Hopefully J. Crew‘s Australian store is not far away either!

Inspiration of the Week: Hair Bling

Or rather, headbands. How many mornings have we thought ‘I’ll do something different with my hair today’, then looked down at our watches and given up!? A headband is the 1 second answer – it can cover up a bad hair day, it can complete a chic look, and it can make you feel girly and fun in the blink of an eye!

There are so many different styles too! Cloth, plastic, felt, velvet, beaded, braided, faux fur…to avoid spending too much $$$ while indulging your headband obsession, consider using an old fashioned piece of ribbon and some bobby pins. Tie your hair back in a loose ponytail and wrap the ribbon around your head. Use the bobby pins to secure the ribbon behind your ears and at the nape of your neck. Then release your ponytail and voila!

Hope you’re having a lovely, relaxing weekend!
