So cold!

Hello!

I know I said that I would try and post some pics and I haven't. I have encountered some difficulties: I still haven't told my boyfriend that I have a personal style blog, I am finding it hard to take photos of myself and I am so cold that I am more rugged up than the Michelin Man! I know that if I just told S about the blog than that would solve two of my problems - I am just working up the courage to do so.

Anyway, here are some pics that I quickly snapped this morning. Me in my inner layer of clothes (imagine this with a big puffy jacket on top and that's how I normally look!) and my new handbag from H&M. I love this store so much - it has a special place in my heart as it is Swedish, plus it is full of great stuff at cheapy-cheap prices! Haha. This bag is big enough to lug stuff around (including the above mentioned puffy jacket) while going on trains, yet is still pretty comfortable. I love backs with two kinds of handles - short shoulder hands and across body straps - which makes it pretty versatile.










So anyway, we are now in Dresden about to go exploring the Old Town. Loving it so far, our accommodation is lovely, but I will save that for a later post. Before I finish up, two questions: how do you tell your boyfriend that you have been keeping a secret blog and how on earth do you stay warm and still look nice when the temperature is usually below 10 degrees Celsius?!

Room with a view

Hello all

A thousand apologies for my prolonged absence. In order to afford our massive Europe + Morocco trip, my boyfriend and I temporarily moved back to our hometown to work. We were up the for about three months working crazy hours for crazy money (by Perth standards anyway!), living rent free with my boyfriend's parents. And now we are exploring the wonders of Europe! We arrived in Sweden almost two weeks ago and have been living with my old host family from when I was an exchange student. They live in a beautiful and typically Swedish red house, nestled between a lake and a forest. I know, right?! Hello fairytale!

We have now left Sweden and are in Berlin. I am going to try and take some more style-oriented pics, but as we are backpacking, my style may be slightly lacking. But we will see what happens! If you want to read about our travels in more detail, feel free to check out our travel blog.

Goats and Keys

Some of my more recent purchases ...

Scarf: Supre; Silver cuff: Sportsgirl; Rings: Diva ($3 each!!)


My goal to blog/take photos each day for 30 days or however long it was obviously didn't pan out! Haha. Life has been a bit weird lately ... I am up in my hometown working, but not with my parents - they moved a few months ago. Instead, I am living with my boyfriend, his parents and his grandad. His family are REALLY nice, but I am just not 100% comfortable yet ... I like having my own space, and quiet time, and I am used to having an empty house to myself during the day. But I am getting used to it.

In addition, work has been a bit all over the place. We are working up here to save money for our big trip later this year. My normal work (check-in at the airport) has really good pay, but not enough hours. I am going to start working with my boyfriend soon as a cleaner ( ... ) out at a gas plant shortly, with not as good pay but much more hours. I have to admit, I'm not entirely looking forward to it - and we may have to do a month of 12 hr night shifts during a shutdown. I have been looking for admin work but no joy so far.

So all in all, life has been a bit ... off lately. Bright side is I am heading back down to Perth for a week on Tuesday, though not for the best of reasons - my dad is heading in to hospital for an operation. It should be fine, but any thoughts and prayers would be much appreciated!

Past Pictures II

Some more pictures from a little while ago. These were taken in Perth, I think the outfit was for a group meeting maybe? Or a tutorial? Something uni related anyway ...

Shirt: Ally, Jeans: Lee, Belt: Dotti, Boots: Zomp, Necklace: Pigeonhole

I have already started to get complacent in my Pilbara style, and correspondingly in my blogging as well ... I am considering setting myself a challenge: to try and take a photo a day - mostly but not limited to outfit photos. We shall see how that goes!

In other news, I found out my results today - I have definitely passed everything! Woop woop! It is such a relief - I was starting to stress out a little. Now all I have to do is find a job for next year :S

Frustration

An acquaintance of mine who I used to work with has just gotten a job as an advertising consultant with a radio station. She didn't go to uni, never studied marketing/advertising, never had any previous experience marketing/advertising or ANYTHING, and I can't get a marketing grad position for next year. F. M. L.

Past pictures

I have been terrible at blogging lately! It feels like it has been forever. While I have been taking outfit photos, I have not been uploading them.

I can't even remember what I did the day I wore this ... probably nothing too exciting!

Cotton On jumper, Dotti dress, random stockings, Zomp boots, Pigeonhole necklace

I am now up in Karratha and the weather is absolutely beautiful - warm, sunny ... Can't wait to head to the beach haha. We will see how my 'style' evolves while I am here.
