max brenner tutti frutti waffles in winter. is there anything better?

i had the sh!*test day on this day. my tutor was horrible to me, and i had to go waste an hour until i met up with my boyfriend. but it's amazing what a coconut hot chocolate and the new issue of cosmopolitan can do!

if you haven't been to aboutlife marketplace (rozelle and bondi junction) i highly recommend it! best salads and yummy kombucha.

my mum's healthy cheesecake with raspberry coulis.

i have finally found my perfect watch.. it's taken me a year and a half but it's divine. just gotta wait until my birthday in december...

i loved my tony bianco devon boots so much in black.. that i ended up getting the brown too. highly recommended!

my life up until today... essays essays essays.

my favourite nail polish combo! OPI pink-a-doodle-doo and a true romantic. baby pink with a perfectly subtle shimmer.

my favourites at the moment. tony bianco boots, topshop jeans, forever new parka and dip dye scarf.

and this last one is my happy face... you wanna know why? because a) i went to the hairdresser and got my hair did. best feeling ever, i was channelling delta ala the voice hair. b) i had my last class of semester today, and i don't do exams. you wanna know what that means? HOLIDAYS!! I'M BEYOND EXCITED! FREEEEEEEEEEEDOM!

TB SS12/13

style melbourne

loving these shots from a preview event in melbourne of tony bianco's SS12/13 collection! i've already got my heart set on the flats with metallic detailing, the heels which are essentially the big sister version of the flats and i definitely wouldn't mind those white heels with the silver capped toe. clearly, neutrals with a splash of metallic is gonna be tickling my tastebuds this upcoming season. sydney's first day of rain in awhile has made seeing this collection even more unbearable.. bring back the summer sun and strappy heel weather!

black feet.

I'm a handbag kinda girl. When I walk into a store, I always gravitate towards the handbags - shoulder bags, clutches, wallets, overnighter's... whatever it is, I'll take one of everything. But lately (and maybe it's since I found hamilton, my michael kors bag which is perfection) I've been thinking about just how much of an impact shoes can make on an outfit. I've been scouring Tony Bianco & Wanted Shoes, two of my absolute favourite shoe suppliers, and have found myself coming back to these four favourites.

1. 'Pia' Tony Bianco Knee High Boot - I had the most perfect imitation suede knee high boots last season and wore them to death - they are honestly ruined because I loved them so much. So when I saw these babies in Wanted the other day, I fell in love. They aren't leather and they aren't suede.. they're smack bang in the middle. As the girl I spoke with from Tony Bianco put it, it's like suede without the 'furriness', and personally I love it. Normally I wouldn't go for a shoe with such a hefty price tag, but considering how much I wore my old boots last season, I see these as a solid investment.

2. 'Cad' Boston Babe Metallic Ballet Flat - Aren't these beautiful? Black leather with a metallic gold touch.. I can see these adding instant glam to a drab uni outfit.

3. 'Devons' Tony Bianco Ankle Boot - My alternative to the ACNE pistons.. they just seem to sit right on my legs. Just the right amount of heel, and I like the strap detail around the ankle.

4. 'Karissa' Tony Bianco Heel - If you haven't seen these on the blogosphere you must be living under a rock - they're a favourite of Jess from Tuula, Sara from Harper & Harley and Nicole from Gary Pepper Vintage. I can understand why, with the simple straps and classic shape. Heads up for us poor Sydney-siders who don't have any TB concept stores - these will be making their way into Wanted Shoes in April, so for anyone like me who is between sizes, you'll be able to try them on! Woo!
