Photodiary: Sunday Shenanigans

For the whole of my time in primary and secondary school, I used to jump out of bed all ready to face the day at 6AM in the morning. Now significantly older than I was then, I sometimes wonder how I managed to get up at such an ungodly hour in the morning. At some point my body decided that it just had had enough of mornings and if I have the mind to, I can now sleep in till two in the afternoon. Especially on Sundays. 

However, it was with complete eagerness that I hauled myself out of bed at 7.30 on the Sunday of the college's annual winery tour. Despite grumpy skies and cold wind, I knew it was going to be a lovely day. When the first thing you ingest in the morning is some smoked salmon nibbles and a flute of bubbly, I don't think the rest of the day can go very wrong. 

At 9.30, we all crammed onto the bus and trundled our way down to the various wineries down in the Mornington Peninsula. I felt it was high time I showed my blog some love, so here's a quick photodiary of my adventures of inebriation fun through the four wineries we visited, and my unpractical outfit of the day. I did want to keep warm (i.e. wearing tights and sweaters), but eventually vanity won out. Sometimes you just can't have it all. 

How was the bus on the way back, you ask? Well, to sum it up in an understatement- an hour and a half of absolute chaos.

Burnt Autumn

Autumn is my second favourite season, next to winter, but only when there's snow. There's something extraordinarily beautiful about the autumn leaves, even more than the wild bloom of spring. Everything practically oozes red and gold vibrance, its like nature's way of going out with a bang -

"Remember me even when winter comes." 

The forecast predicted gloomy weather the whole week and I felt like it was more the time than ever to being out more colours as the dreary winter months draw closer.This lovely burnt-orange coloured top has been with me for ages, and I think given it's versatility and the wear I get out of it, it's high time it has a feature on my blog. And what better season to match this with than autumn?

I paired it with this black and navy ZARA coat that has beautiful pleather detailing and knitted sleeves. While all the colours are slightly on the dull side, it also makes it very easy to match with different pieces, especially in the colder seasons. I absolutely love how the coat brings together the different textures and structured silhouette  for a very unique piece indeed.

So who says the florals need to be kept in the closet for colder days? I busted out my floral shorts to create a transition for the block colours of the coat and the top, and added a vintage touch with my favourite set of collar pins.

OKAY I KNOW EVERYONE IS SICK OF MY CREEPER WEDGES. I CANT HELP IT THEY'RE SO COMFY. THIS IS THE LAST POST WITH THEM IN IT.

Or maybe second last... I PROMISE I'LL STOP WEARING THEM.
