better together.



A matching two piece has always been on the list for its obvious advantages. Two pieces that can be worn independently of one another but paired together to create an unexpected matchy-matchy look. Cost per wear makes a two piece set an attractive investment and especially when it's monochrome and oversized (and I can't overlook the mesh detail on the shorts).

For the most subtle offsetting of colour (not that you can really call it that) and probably my favourite shade pairing, I went for the very predictable black and navy in the form of this cool little leather clutch from the relatively new Young the Label. These sisters make some uber chic weekenders, totes, clutches and coin purses focusing on sleek lines and architectural detailing.

I've just wrapped up my first week of full time work and I am absolutely exhausted not to mention I've had no time/ energy to exercise. I've had incredibly long days (usually starting around 8:30 and finishing at 6:30) with a 90 minute commute each way. Now I know why people make such a big deal about the weekends. Having worked in retail for three years, I at last seeing the light. Enjoy your weekend lovers.

shift.

Do you know how hard it is for a 5'3 girl to find a tee shift dress that doesn't make you look like you're four again and wearing your dad's clothes? The number of shifts I've tried on only to be utterly disappointed because the hem hits mid calf and the shape does absolutely nothing for my frame, is too many times to count. I was pleasantly surprised when I took a chance on this digi-floral print shift and shock horror it actually fit. Or at least I think it's a shift. It could just be an oversized tee for tall girls. Props to you Kristi Rose, I found my needle in a haystack.

Speaking of shifts, if you stalk me on social media you'll know I landed my first full time job as a marketing/ PR coordinator. I can't believe how quickly everything's changed since my last post. Unsure about the future and what I wanted to do with my degree, worried about finding a job and here I am, after a week out of uni and already diving straight into 9 - 5 life. Transitioning between part time retail and my new job has been tougher than I initially thought especially when you tell your new employer you can work every day that you're not at your current job. I think I'm up to 11 days straight of work and I'm fast turning into a zombie. Kids, don't try this at home.
