Summer pt.2





This is what it's all about....late nights with family and friends enjoying each others company and just clowning around.

Are your favourite summer memories made up with moments like mine?

Cabramatta












My cousin, sister and friend Ruth set out to visit Cabramatta the other weekend to purchase some material for my cousin Sia's graduation party (post coming soon). I love visiting Cabramatta because it is so rich with colour, sound, food and vibrancy. People sell their fresh produce on the street and there are loads of fruit and vegetable stores jam packed with fresh produce that you won't find in Woolworths. It always fun to visit the various bakeries and choose something new to taste.

After we purchased the material we wondered over to Breadtop (seriously I have a terrible weakness for this place) and I brought a spicy beef bun. Now while this is shamelessly processed and sugar loaded (yes it basically had no nutritional value and or benefit) I just had to have one. I also managed to taste the other wonderful items that my family chose (the Vanilla custard buns were A-MAAAZ-ING!) before heading off to lunch and we finished off our walking/ unplanned eating tour of Cabramatta with a frozen yogurt topped off with pomegranate (first time having it and I have found a new love!). All in all a wonderful (and calorie filled day >,< ).

casual


I have found that my favourite floral thrifted finds are my 'go-to- essentials' when I want to be not- so- boring with my casual attire. I always dress for comfort and I was running around town doing errands and op-shopping with my sister. My oversized top is an old City Chic item that could basically be a dress. I wore just some basic black tights and my favourite full black chucks that I found for $30 when I was purchasing my new pair of exercise shoes. I love them and I seem to be wearing them a lot. So all in all a pretty basic boring black outfit until I chuck on my pretty floral jacket. Its light so its good because the weather here in Australia has been pretty unpredictable of late. 
One minute it's sunny and the next minute it is pouring down rain.

I also wore my $2 chain earrings I found at the Salvo's store and my $5 pair of glasses. I've wanted a pair like this for a while but I haven't really been shopping at shopping centres at all since last years Buy Nothing New challenge. I was pleasantly surprised to find them at Diva (actually is was 3 items for $10).

What are your go-to items that transform a pretty basic outfit option into something a little more special?
