summer & colour

About 99.9% of my wardrobe consists of black, white & grey clothes.

My wardrobe looks a lot like this;

I'm hoping to make my wardrobe look a little more like this...

So I went shopping in my attempt to inject some colour in to my clothing collection and I picked up some nice, cheap casual clothes from Valleygirl & Temt.
This is one of maybe 3 yellow things I own. I really must get more, I love yellow.
It's a lot more vivid in real life though. 
 This dress is actually red, it's coming up kind of orange on my computer screen.
I love when dresses come with belts!
 Plain white t-shirt. An essential in my books.
 Simple coral t-shirt with a pocket. I adore coral.
 This actually looks a lot nicer on, I promise!
 I found this nude cropped 3/4 blazer on the discount rack for $19.95.
The cut is so flattering.
My best friend would disagree with me here but you can never have enough nude items.
Never!
 I love lace.
So.Much.
Love the detailing.
 I hate mullet/hi-lo, but I love this.
The front of the top sits at my hips and the back covers my bum, which looks a little awkward with shorts so I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to wear it with yet but I couldn't resist.
It came in white and coral and I am so proud of myself for picking the coral.
I love the detail on the bust.


Have you done any summer shopping lately?
Does your wardrobe consist of one/a few colours mostly like mine?

back to the nest...


It has been a loong time since I last blogged.


Here's what's being going on in the life of yours truly since July(Which is the latest blog entry I did.)

I moved out - From my personal slice of heaven to return back to the nest with my parents.



Nick and I were sick of spending money on rent. And gas. And electricity. And water. And groceries.
My mum has always said if we ever wanted to come home, we'd be more than welcome.
I was all for it, we could save double time for a house and the wedding but Nick wasn't too keen.
I think he was worried that it would make it look like he couldn't provide for me which is just silly, but I think I understand how he felt.
Then one day he came home from work and said 'Let's do it'.
So we gave our notice to our landlord and started packing away.
I don't remember the exact date but we were all moved in to my parents house by early August.
My parents have a separate bedroom outside, I believe it's called a bungalow?
It was my bedroom before I left home the first time.
There's no kitchen or bathroom in it,(If there was, I never would have left in the first place!) but it's nice to have that extra bit of privacy.

It's so good to have a home cooked meal every night. My mother is an amazing cook, sadly the same cannot be said for me.

I won't lie though, it's been hard.
There have been days where all I want to do is rewind time and stay put in my unit with Nick.
He works long hours so I was very used to being alone a lot of the time, which suited me fine. I actually enjoy being by myself.
At my parents house, there is usually always someone home and I think that has been one of the biggest adjustments.

On the plus side, I have a beautiful pool at my doorstep and my mums two gorgeous dogs.

Here's a few things I'm that I'm missing;

Snuggles on the couch with my cats.


Having a whole room dedicated to my clothes, shoes and accessories. 


Sitting on my veranda with a coffee & a book




 My open, airy lounge room. Emphasis on the word 'my'.
 Late night hang outs with Louise


I must admit, it does sort of feel like a step backward.
I know it will get me ahead in the long run, and it will be helpful not having all those bills while I'm at uni but for the present I feel a little...pathetic.

Have you ever returned home?
Was it hard or am I just being a drama queen?
I'd love to hear some stories.

My next blog post will be a little more uplifting, I promise!
:)
