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?

Life Lately : Exams & The Beach

After a busy exam period, I am heading off to the beach for a week with some of my closest friends! We're just going to mess around and have some fun before uni starts back for the year and I couldn't be more excited. I've spent the past month or so pretty focused on studying for these exams and working on other things rather than spending time with my friends, so this will be refreshing.

Why I Love Birkenstocks

Birkenstocks were a bandwagon I held off on. I bought a few pairs of sliders to ease my craving, some cheap and some just as expensive as the original, but after the $90 Windsor Smith pair that cut up my feet after wearing them out, I decided to just give in as Birkenstocks are notorious for being comfortable, and that's exactly what I was in search of.

Tumblr Inspo #11

It's been an incredibly hot summer week, and as the summer rains come down ruining my potential pool party prospects for the night, I thought I'd sit down and write this post. I missed summer, swimming and the beach so much - which is weird. Never in my life have a been a summer person, until now.

Last summer was so fun that it just set me up for excitement this year. I love swimming and hanging by the pool all day, for days in a row in the middle of heatwaves. It was so relaxing and just made me appreciate the season. The weather has really peaked the last couple weeks, and I've been doing exactly that - spending time by the pool. I think it's clear from my image selections that I've been thinking of the beach and the sea.

Are you a summer baby or a winter lover?

Tropical Print Everything

This may seem largely unseasonal to most of you, but here in Australia we are starting to get the thirty degree days that let us know that summer is well and truly on its way. I go through intense loves seasonally, so the warmer weather has definitely triggered something in me. In winter it was the mohair look sweaters, last summer it was pineapple print and this summer it's anything tropical and leafy. I can't even explain why it appeals to me so much, I've just found myself reblogging masses of ferns on Tumblr and my heart skipping a beat every time I see something in this lush, green print.

I can never resist a makeup bag, regardless of how many I already own, so this piece was a no-brainer. It was smaller than I expected, but it ended up working out much better for me as I tend to overstuff my everyday makeup bag with things that aren't everyday products. This can only fit my daily essentials which is great, as it's small and compact and I can grab it and go without having to rifle through my makeup stash making sure that I haven't forgotten something important.

I can also never resist a cute phone case, especially since I go through them so quickly due to being extremely clumsy, so this ended up in my clutches about two seconds after entering the store. I love that the background is white too, so it looks amazing paired with a white iPhone. There was also a beach towel in an identical print but I had to resist it for now because the lady in store was already side-eyeing my mass leaf buying spree.

Do you go through crazy periods of buying only one kind of thing as well?

The Wishlist: ASOS

In a means to cheer myself up after a long, tiring day at university I decided to browse ASOS. It is one of my favourites not only because of the sheer quantity of stock, but because every time I come back there is something new to look at. I ended up stumbling upon so many things that fit the 'buy instantly' category that I had to step back and make this wish list so I didn't have a major splurge.

The thing I was most excited by were the tropical print bikini bottoms. I can never find bathers that I like, especially in a high waisted cut, so I was in a buy this here and now frenzy until I saw that they didn't have my size. My heart broke and I'm now crossing my fingers that my size magically appears soon since summer is on the horizon here in Australia.

I went a little pouch and micro bag crazy in my search and while I am definitely giving some of these a miss now that I've made a non-ASOS related splurge (stay tuned) the micro bag is definitely still on the cards. I love everything from the colour to the size and I think it will satisfy all of my minimalistic bag cravings since I could physically not fit more than my phone, a few cards and maybe a lipstick in there.

I have been a little shoe crazy lately which is odd, because I'm usually a clothes over shoes kind of girl. When I saw the eye print flats my heart skipped a beat because I was so completely obsessed with the Kenzo eye designs and this was near identical and without the designer price tag. Another pair of shoes I got too excited over were the white sandals featured above. Something about them is just so cool, and while I barely trust myself with white it is nice to dream.

One of my favourite things about ASOS is the fact that they make some UK beauty products so much easier to obtain or give us Australian's early access to new Rimmel lines which tend to hit our shores a month or two later. The matte version of Rimmel's Apocolips look so, so stunning and I am obsessed with the orangey red shade and the rose.

What is on your ASOS wish list at the moment?
