a spoonful weighs a ton

Finally my new shoes have arrived ! I've been longing to find a pair of block heels after one of my friend from college had a pair of block heels with a lace up front. After searching online endlessly with such search words as "platform heels", "boot heels", I stumbled upon these block heels and instantly bought them. I am usually a size 9 in aus but they did not sell any in my size, so being a risk taker I am I bought the biggest size which were an 8. I am hoping to break into these shoes fast without it feeling like a ton of pressure is placed on my foot every time I take a step, as these will be my staple footwear leading into the cooler days.

slow burning crimes

On Saturday I had the pleasure of working backstage at a fashion event that was held at Komune Beach Club in Coollangatta, QLD/NSW.
I was accompanied by my class mates Kerri and Sidnee to help Designer Alana McBain of Mac + Bain with her collection showcase.We found out that Alana was also a past student at AICD and has now found success through her own label Mac + Bain. 
The event was held at a beach resort that was compatible to the resort/beach aesthetic that the label Mac + Bain carried. We were assigned models to dress and prep for the runway and were taught many tricks and tips of the fashion trade.


Could not resist the urge to try these on ! Authentic Christian diamante Louboutin, I mean who wouldn't dare ?!!?!

blister in the sun


I've been bombarded with so much work that I could not take any time out to capture my outfits throughout the week. I have recently found a love in op-shopping and have been stopping by St.Vincents during my walks to college. I've picked up great bargains such as this gold metallic threaded singlet and the pleated pants for under $20 bucks. I find it odd people throw these out, only for it to be sold again. I also wore the top with lace shorts on Saturday for Supafest festival, however i was unable to take any photographs due to the heavy rain. Though the rain killed the mood to vain, the music made up for it all !

I had thought the Easter break would have given me more time to relax a bit and possibly catch up with majority of my friends, however I had so much homework from college that I've spent sleepless nights finishing them off. I cannot express how excited I am for the weekend as I shall be attending my first ever music festival !
