TOURIST AT HOME:SYDNEY
These past weeks have been a whirlwind of travel, work and school. A close friend I made while abroad in Europe made the long journey to Australia to visit me over her summer break, which called for a bit of touristing not only in my own city, but across the country. Sydney is such a stunning city and one I would love to relocate to if I do settle down in Australia. It has an atmosphere and an aesthetic that I adore and feel at home among, one that I can't quite locate in Melbourne. The beaches were stunning, the city was stunning - I just loved everything about it.
Tumblr Inspo #12
I have had all of these pictures sitting in a folder for the longest time waiting for my next Tumblr Inspo post, so I thought it was about time that I put them all together and give my usual spiel about what's been going on in my life. Largely I was saving this post for the day I did my driving test, because it has been a goal I've shared here multiple times and couldn't wait to update you guys on the progress.
I got my licence! As a 20 year old living in Melbourne, Australia it is (kind of) rare to not have your license by now. This is something I have struggled with since I was 16 and got my learners permit. First I struggled to find time to drive at all, then I struggled with actually getting the hours up as I was only going on minuscule drives and then I wasn't driving at all for a huge two years. In December of 2014 I started driving again and luckily picked it back up quickly. It's now March of 2015 and I have my licence!
I am beyond excited and just wanted to share this snippet of my life with you guys as it was my #1 goal of 2015 and I completed it in the first three months - which feels awesome. How has your week been?
The ASOS Bikini
There is no task more dreaded for bigger busted ladies than shopping for anything boob related. Finding a bikini top that fits, let alone fits well, is no easy task. They are either unsupportive, look like a straight up bra, or feel like they are going to pop off with any sudden movement. Then, finally, you find one that is just okay and the price tag reads in the hundreds. This is where ASOS swimwear comes in.
Tumblr Inspo #10
For anyone who hasn't seen the first nine instalments of my 'Tumblr Inspo' feature, I am completely addicted to Tumblr and love to collect the images I've been loving and inspired by over the month and share them in this space - usually accompanied by a random babble/update type piece!
Tumblr Inspo #5
At the start of next month I am leaving the city and heading into the countryside for a few days, which should be a nice break, but my mode of transportation is coach which always stresses me out and leaves me in a bad mood. It's never quiet and I'm always sitting next to someone who is bored and wants to watch on with whatever I'm doing to try and occupy myself. I think I'm going to be casting out my strongest "I have my headphones on, do not disturb" vibes.
It feels as though half of my holidays have already gone, and most of this post has already gone without casting any reference to the pictures I've selected this time around! I've really been building my wardrobe around certain looks and I'm really starting to fall in love with my outfits which is something I struggled with in the past. I think I have well and truly found my "style" where as back in high school I went from wanting to dress very feminine to wanting to dress like a boy in the same day which left me resenting half of my wardrobe at times!
Coffee is there, as always. I put myself on a coffee ban at the tail end of last year and I was actually feeling very energetic without it. However, one fateful day in class I needed a pick-me-up and opted for coffee which got me back to my caffeine addiction! I find myself feeling very blah without it these days and I know I should get off it, but it was so hard the first time! I don't know how to stay strong!
This was quite the ramble, so I think I'll tie things up here with a question (or three): Are you a coffee addict with genuine withdrawal symptoms when you don't get your fix? Does this worry you as much as it worries me? Have you quit coffee and can remind me why life rules without it?
Time Away
I spent the last weekend of my break at the beach town an hours drive from my home. It's truly beautiful there and a really fun place to visit often. As much as I'm attached to the internet, it is really nice to have a break and do activities that don't require a computer or TV. I always find myself reading a tonne of books down there!
I need to make a conscious effort to take more internet breaks, but it can be hard when you want to catch up with friends, relax and do your uni work when all of it revolves around the internet!
