Outfit under $50 with access to my full wardrobe is no problem, but since I'm living out of a suitcase it was a bit difficult to show you something that I haven't already casually mentioned! I am no stranger to "popping tags" as it were, all whilst only having $20 in my pocket at the time in question. But I haven't really found similar quality 'thrift shops' overseas, which is annoying. Even in Manchester, hipster central as it were, there were just "retro" or "vintage" shops, where second hand items cost more than new ones probably would. Wheres the fun in that? But anyway, regardless I couldn't miss the opportunity to purchase some bits and bobs (despite ridiculously heavy and over weight limit suitcase), so here is my outfit of the day, which also happens to be under fifty bucks!
This black tunic-esque top is a steady go-to piece for me (in fact, I even mentioned it in my timesaver post a few months ago), just so dayum versatile! The cigarette pants, I love the cut and pattern. Perhaps I was inspired to wear them this morning by the bedsheets? The flats have a gorgeous laser cut out pattern, haven't worn them that much as I'm paranoid about getting a weird foot tan in ze european sun and finally THE BELT, I looove. Should have gotten a few more in other colours really.
That's it from me! Please excuse the shitty lighting, rather frustrating not being able to set up camera the way I loike it.

Hi guys! Still traveling around Europe with le boyfriend, were currently in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovnia. It's been pretty hectic but still keeping an eye on Aussie Curves and thought I'd join in on celebrating. Sarajevo is such an interesting city with a tragic past, and scars still remain from the city's siege in the 90s. However there is still a large Muslim population and yesterday was Eid, the end of Ramadan fasting. So this was our celebration excuse!
Wearing a 100% purchased-while-traveling outfit ahaha.
Quick post as busy day tomorow but: leopard peplum top = terranova (spanish brand that goes up to size 18) // leggings = (primark probably) // shoes = cool way // necklace = topshop (it was originally knotted in a different way but I undid it and re did it again, navy cadets came in handy)
Decided to buy eyeshadow which I don't usually use, not sure if you can tell to easily in this image but it's there~!
Admire my decorative knot skills
Tough we really love Bosnian cuisine (has anyone ever tried klepe?? they are fucking amazing) decided to go with steak. We were the only table that got bibs, lol. Guess we don;t look capable to eating without mess? (Though le bf did spill shit on his pants haha)
So thats it from me! Yay Aussie Curves round 2! I find that its given me a little confidence where previously there was none, awesome to find so many new blogs to investigate! Looking forward to getting back home and introducing you all to my wardrobe ^.^
hoi everyone! a very quick post, as I noticed ze aussie curves theme this week somewhat coincided with my outfit today. Not an overly colour clash, but traveling around i don't have a full wardrobe at my disposal! But love the look of the pants with the sandals (which capture many jealous stares, according to my boyfriend haha. (He was my photographer for the first time; was a bit weird taking shots in public ahah) Currently in the ultra picturesque Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic. Note the delicious feast of phesant and potatoes that we shared! Twas amazing.
Up for a massive day of exploring / rafting tomorow so best get some sleep. Perhaps another sporadic post if I happen to have clothes with me that fit the theme!
Hoi everyone! On the off chance that anyone is missing my posts I do apologise, been very busy travelling around! Currently on the way from Berlin to Prague which I am very excited about, being Czech and my first time there.
Will attempt to make posts but not too sure how realistic that will be untill im finally back in aus in october.
I have been so sososo busy with uni; 8,000 words of dissertation completed, now have 4 days to learn an entire subject and pass my final exam, le boyfriend who I havn't seen for 9 months arrives night before said exam (when my best studying gets done).. arg. Fast forward to this time next week plez!! However took a little break to show one of my most favorite sequin outfits that I have with me... no time to find a cool photo location so enjoy my bedroom wall! I must confess that I love all things with texture, pattern, print and embellishment so I own a few sequined things. However worn this skirt out a fair few times and received nothing but compliments, so I present a very ASOS outfit:
Top: ASOS Curve// Shoes: Grand Bazaar Istanbul// Hair: tamed by Curlesque Curls Rock Amplifier by TIGI // Necklace: Sportsgirl // Skirt: ASOS // Bracelet: Modern Miss Vintage Clothing
I was slightly concerned when the skirt first arrived because it wasn't really as "peplum" as I had been expecting, but soon got over it becaus I just really love gold sparky things haha but do find it is a bit short if worn at the hips. ps. TIGI products are awesome, used a few from their range and have always been impressed. They're not overly expensive, and easy to buy over Amazon.
I feel very neglectful of this blog but alas I'm really keen to be done with university life and this must pay the price :( SOON RECTIFIED
Top: Vintage/Thrifted .. is this really a big difference?
// Jacket: Atmosphere for Primark
Clutch: Atmosphere for Primark // Stockings: unknown shop in Italy
Bronze House Stark Sigil Ring (or just wolf ring): Norse Market, Old Town Stockholm // Skirt: GirlXpress for Kmart
A pretty big downside to being overseas is the limited wardrobe, I don't really have anything leather with me! So kind of copping out for this one, have to re do it once I'm back in Melb. All I have is this 'leather look' studded clutch some mates bought me for my birthday. I've only used it out once because I feel weird as hitting up the D-Floor having to hold it haha, hopefully as the weather heats up and le boyfriend comes over it shall see a few lunch or coffee dates as its pretty badass. Also I think this top has the best print possibly ever.
Hoi! I'm often running late so I'm pretty good at timesaving when it comes to getting dressed.This semester all my classes were at 9am. ALL OF THEM! And just for one hour too, so literally back in bed by 1030am. I'll admit, one or two times I just went to class in what I slept in haha especially on those cold mornings. Othertimes I relied on my standard timesaving outfit of choice:
Cardigan: thrifted// Jeans: ASOS// Bag: gift from Chille
I really like these jeans! more of a "jegging" really as they are so thin, but they have a slight acid wash which lurve. This is definately my go-to handbag, great for fitting the ONE SINGLE BOOK I need for my one class a day, and some pens, water, breakfast snack, etc. No doubt you'll be seeing it again ^.^
I can take up to an hour carefully applying make up, or about 5 minutes. After a light application of foundation and a bit of mascara, I discovered the Rimmel Instant Radiance, and its pretty awesome for when you have 0 time. It's a mousse blusher, quite pigmented, so the smallest dab on each cheek blended in makes it totally look like I did not just wake up 5 mins ago.Actually the foundation in the Wake Me Up range is pretty good too.
Both the top and cardi are from Savers, my absolute favorite place to shop ever. Bit disappointed I have not been able to find an equivalent in Manchester really.
I would also like to share my biggest timesaving tip: wash your hair less often. Not as ew as it sounds, trust. I have very long wavy hair as you can probably see. It takes me about 20 minutes to comb, and about half an hour to wash with shampoo and conditioner, maybe another half an hour to dry with a hairdryer.. ain't nobody got time for that.Whilst still maintaining a daily shower I wash my hair perhaps every 4 days.. these images are taken on day 3, and not looking disgusting. Over time the less often you wash your hair the less oily it becomes, at least that's what I've found anyway. If you wash your hair everyday more oils are produced as the act of cleaning it makes your hair freak out due to the oils they just produced being washed away, then you wash it more to relieve excess oil but more and more is being produced... just a vicious cycle really.
