empty carpark

Hello. Hope you are all doing well. So I am back from camp - it went by so quickly and I had so much fun, went on a 210m (I think) flying fox, had ZERO panic attacks and missed home cooking like you wouldn't believe. Currently, I am having a rest day which entails siting on the couch with a blanket watching Friends and the final episode of Downton Abbey *que tears* and procrastinating maths homework and unpacking my suitcase.

Since it is starting to turn Autumn and you can feel the chill in the air, I wanted to style a cape in a Autumnal fashion so it is perfect for the cool mornings and even more perfect for the sunny arvos. I love the contrast between the bold stripes and slim silhouette of the monochrome midi dress and the slouchy look and checked pattern on the cape. Polished off with some basic chunky boots and clean cut clutch, the ensemble gives off a cosy and edgy vibe.

On another note, how pretty does the sky look in these shots? I love how bright blue it is with the dark clouds covering them - it looks so strange yet it's beautiful. Makes me really want to do more photography to capture pretty things and produce cool editorials. I'll have another post going up on Saturday or Sunday since I have some photos to share when I went to a dessert cafe to celebrate by best friend's 15th. So until next time.

tribute

Greetings from a very tired Chelsea. The first week of school for the second term has been a rude awakening - literally. Thank you alarm for waking me up at way to early o'clock when it would be so much better for everyone else for me to stay in bed and get my beauty *ha, who does she think she is* sleep. Anyway, I wanted to put up a post tonight because I will be away for a few days on school camp. From Sunday morning to Wednesday night I will have experienced 8 plus hours on a bus, done a aerial rope course and seen a deer. I am really excited for all the activities but I will admit I am very very very nervous for the night times (long story short, anxiety / homesickness sucks majorly). But other than that, currently I am packing for my camp adventure, quite tired, slowly getting back into routine and listening to Blue Neighbourhood by Troye Sivan. 

I have been wanting to style a minimal and sophisticated look for a while now that included a basic pair of denim and a black blazer whilst still keeping it young and youthful. I think this outfit just screams simplicity and I love how it look very basic but still completed and put together. The height from the heels adds a youthful touch and the cut of blazer is a li' different from the regular rounded edge with the fun ruffles. Adding a tee instead of collared button down takes the 'work attire' look away from it and the light denim wash freshens it all up. Finish it all off with a messy pony and you have yourself the perfect ensemble for any respectable occasion. 

I'll have a new post up on Thursday as I will be back from camp then and (I betcha) dying to blog and talk to you. Have a lovely weekend and please know that I am alive for those days I am away. Haha! Okay, I really need to get some sleep. I'll be off then to listen to Troye and pack trackies in a suitcase. 

So much love. Ciao!

a head full of dreams

Jay Jays pants, Nike sneakers, Katies denim jacket, Venus Flytrap Tee & Rubi hat

Here we are, finding ourselves on the last day of school holidays and I hope this Sunday goes on forever. It's not that I don't like school but the thought of my alarm going off at 6:30am tomorrow morning is something that isn't making me too happy. It will be good to get back into routine and actually know what the day of the week is though. 

This outfit is one of my current favourites mainly because of this new hat I got recently. It's a grey felt / woven effect with a black band around the top and sort of a stretchy material so it fits my head without the worry of it flying off into the distance. I paired it with my denim jacket since I figured it needed to make an appearance on the blog again sometime soon and a pair of black skinnies since I wasn't feeling the whole denim on denim vibe. With the addition of a graphic tee and some Nike sneakers, this ensemble is my perfect casual Autumn look. It's something simple and minimal but the graphic adds a bit of personality and jazzes up the outfit. 

I'm off to get my things ready for tomorrow's early start and relish in my freedom that will only last a few more hours. I'll have a new post up on Friday night so keep your eyes peeled for that and don't forget to follow my Instagram (in the side bar) to stay updated with what's going on. Hope you are all doing well and keep dreaming.

in my overalls

Cotton On Overalls, Supre Tee, Converse Sneakers & Jayco Cap

This is sort of weird...posting on a Wednesday night. But school finishes tomorrow, all my assessment tasks are finished and I have zero homework. So I guess you could say I am feeling pretty good right now and very excited for two full week off of doing nothing [apart from the odd bit of homework, but that can wait for now]. I also wanted to catch you all on what has been going in my world since I wasn't able to post on the weekend [again, blame homework] and I just really wanted to share these photos with you since I am surprisingly loving this outfit. 

I wanted to style my overalls for a second time but I felt that my last post showcasing these guys was a bit boring. So I jazzed things up with a little peach top and my new favourite thing - my old Jayco cap [memories of some old festival]. It all looks a bit like 'lets fix up the back fence since I busted it up driving the motorcycle' or something like that, I'm not sure. I'm a bit tired but on a sugar high from eating three chocolate cupcakes at lunch so excuse any mistakes or weird bits of grammar in this post. But I love the look of this outfit and how different it is from my usual style. 

So, tomorrow is my last day of school then I have dance then I can sleep in till 11 then I am out for Good Friday lunch then sleep for the rest of Saturday then another family lunch on Sunday for Easter and my holidays officially start. I'm pretty excited *don't know if you could tell* and I am hoping, crossing all my fingers and toes, that I can be a mad lady and shoot so many blog posts that I won't know what to do with them all. 

Have a great Easter if I don't speak to you between now and Sunday, even though I probably will. 

Ciao!

Lotsa love, Chelsea xo

PS - Again, sorry for any spelling errors. I just really wanted to talk to you guys and share the photos.
