School Holiday Photo Diary

Random photos that I've taken throughout my holidays around one, two weeks ago. I might as well post the photos than leave them lying around my folders.
The food includes donuts from Dreamy Donuts, macarons, steak at Hogs Breath, Sushi, and chocolate waffles. And yes, I'm those type of people who love taking photos of food. It's funny because whenever the food that I ordered arrives, I automatically take photos of it before my friends can eat it. So they have to impatiently wait...
I also went to watch Harry Potter, and it's depressing to know that there won't be another sequel to it anymore. Lastly, singing moments at karaoke is always fun. I can't seem to remember the lyrics to the song displayed on the screen. Can anyone recognize it? "Thinking about the way you..."
I'm also meeting my new Japanese exchange tomorrow and it's exciting because I love meeting new people.

Gilles Street Market

My trip to the Gilles Street Market. It always has such amazing and unique things as well as stylish people walking around. I purchased a few nice pieces as well.
However... I am a very lazy girl and I hate to try things on. I usually assume that the pieces I purchase will fit me properly and immediately buy them. It's only sometimes where I try on items such as dresses. I'm pretty sure that I was so lazy on Sunday to the point where I wasn't even bothered to try on the hot pink blazer (the first picture) and after I finally dry cleaned it, I tried it on and it doesn't fit! It looks way too big on my body... What a shame..

Vintage Elephants

Forever New scarf, Vintage jumper, Forever New shorts, Forever New lace tights, All That Glitters boots,
This was one of my new purchases for these holidays. This sweater in particular stood out to me because of its colour and the elephant print. It's really unique and different to the usual vintage jumpers that people would often wear.
I matched the soft coloured jumper with light denim shorts and lace tights that I've been dying to wear out more. Not to mention that I also had a good reason to wear my super long, and thick scarf out. 

My holidays also ended and I'm back at school, so expect to see lots of irregular posts...

Woolmark Fashion Campaign

Woolmark is about 'everything wool'. They love seeing people incorporate wool garments into their daily outfits and hence they are currently hosting a new campaign called, 'Fashion by Feelings.' It's a fun campaign as it gives us an opportunity to wear wool more often and realize how versatile wool can be.
The site is pretty quirky itself as it contains twelve different categories flying around woolly Earth (lame joke) and each category is dependent on our feelings during that time. So whether you're feeling loved, happy, powerful, nostalgic or so on, you can still post a look suitable.

Now enough about the introduction of this site, my purpose was to elaborate more on the campaign.
They're launching a global street style competition, where you as the user can upload your favourite wool look in hoping to win the grand prize.
Firstly upload your look on the site and categorize your outfit in between the 12 categories. Now the good thing is, people can go and vote for your look and if your wool look is the most loved... You have the amazing opportunity to win a total prize of $12,000 AUD holiday experience for you and a friend. If you choose not to participate however, just by voting, you're still eligible to go into a draw to win a wool prize pack sponsored by Emu Australia worth $400 AUD.

To know more about the grand prize:
Grand Prize Details
  • 2 return economy class flights to Sydney 
  • 6 nights in a 5 star hotel in Sydney, with breakfasts
  • 1 day visit to a Merino property 
  • 2 pairs of EMU Australia boots 
  • $3,600 Westfield premium shopping experience
So if this sounds like something that you could do, then I encourage you to enter. I mean it's worth a shot and goodluck!

P.s Did I mention that you can upload as much looks as you like, and this would obviously give you a higher chance of winningggggg.



P.P.S - Coincidentally, I recently wore an outfit that featured two wool garments which I will post more details of that look in an outfit post. The two wool garments are a wool scarf and a vintage wool jumper. You can pop by and vote for me here if you like haha! Thanks.

High Waist Jeans With Collared Top

Bardot blazer, Pink Gossip shirt, Lee jeans, Boots from Hong Kong
I just mixed and matched what I had in my wardrobe and came up with this casual outfit. Knowing that I was going to constantly walk for the entire day, I didn't want to wear any heels/ wedges to refrain from receiving any blisters. I love the collar of the top and I still admire the chain detail of the blazer. 

Anyway, I've just read that ZARA will be opening a store at Burnside Village in Adelaide in November! It's so exciting because I would never imagine for ZARA to open a store here but seriously, it was way overdue. Suddenly more and more international stores are branching into Australia, which is an awesome sign for us Australians.
