You can’t have dream and cut it to fit

I often have an idea of what I’d like to buy when a new season hits. I’ve noticed that because I don’t like summer I don’t tend to buy as many clothes then and even if I do it’s something really inappropriate to wear in summer, like long sleeved tops and sweaters. So I buy all my clothes in winter and then when summer comes around I have nothing to wear and just wear a variation of what I’d usually wear in winter. I’ve been keeping an eye out for things I’d like to wear this autumn/winter mainly by using Bloglovin’s save option which is totally awesome by the way.
Oh and apologies beforehand because I sort of just rambled about everything so I’ll forgive you for just looking at the pretty pictures.
Coats
At the moment I am so in love with coats. Long coats, short coats, brown coats, navy coats, etc. etc. As much as I like them though Sydney weather doesn’t get that cold to be able to wear a coat all the time in winter. Sometimes the day starts off extremely cold and by the afternoon you’re peeling off all your layers because the sun suddenly decided to show up along with all it’s UV ray friends. I could never pull off a fur coat but they’re so lovely to look at!
Wedges
They’re my ideal footwear; high and comfy. For every single season there is a perfect wedge that comes along with it. I guess they’re one of the on trend items but really how can you resist comfort? I think when the Lords of Fashion decide it’s time for them to go away for a while I will cry and store them away because dammit they will be making a come back! These Opening Ceremony ones are so, so lovely. They make it in a tan colour that I really want but can’t find a pic of on their website.
Hats
I guess it’s just a bit vague to write hats but I have this image in my head of a perfect hat that’s not too floppy but not too stiff and made from lovely red wool. I have no clue where I’ve seen it before but stupidly I didn’t save the picture but no matter Garance Dore‘s photos can make me like anything so I will take a wide brimmed hat as replacement… maybe. American apparel makes a really nice felt one actually but I couldn’t justify spending that amount on a hat.
Alexa Bag
Finally the last thing I want for winter, the Alexa Mulberry Bag. This bag get’s a whole section dedicated to it because it’s amazing. I have bag envy the size of Australia x2. What is seriously not to love about it? I just love the fact that it can look so casual yet also look formal – versatility for a poor uni student is number 1. Alas, it’s not meant to be because the oversized one in Oak is sold out on the Mulberry website but to be quite honest I would be extremely happy but also extremely sad if I got it. My monies!
I can’t remember at all where I got these from, I think the second one may be from Garance.
I’m only human, babe

It’s hard to find the time to make an entry at the moment. I’ve been inundated with work! Today I had a presentation and a test, on Wednesday I have a test, on Friday a summary due and then the cycle begins again next week. It’s insane, I didn’t think I’d be getting this much work since I’m still doing 100 level units but this is double what I did last semester, the new cirriculum is killing me.
I’ve bought a few new things over the past few weeks (minus the leather gloves that I bought on sale last winter) because when I have breaks during uni I have nothing else to do besides spend my money but I guess I have to stop that because I finally quit my job last week; I had my last shift on Saturday! I can’t believe it but it makes me so much happier to think that I won’t have to ever go back to that horrible place.
Now I will go think about doing work because not thinking about doing it is making me guilty, haha.
P.S. Will definitely be catching up on everyone’s posts when I can!
I worry I weigh three times my body…

ToyCamera app is major cool.
At the end of every week I breathe a sigh of relief because I made it through another week without something going horribly wrong. Sometimes the week has been easy to get through, other times it’s been hard; emotionally, physically, mentally. Unfortunately, this week has been one of those ones. Where nothing works out and it feels like everything and everyone is out to get you. I have never and will never be the optimistic, perky girl but to make it through weeks like these I just have to be, no matter how fake I sound, no matter how much of a stranger I am to myself. And so, this week I breathe a sigh of relief and thank god that I am alive and that I have the freedom and courage to finally quit my crap job. This time next week it will be a different story.
Instead of dreary who you were… are

I had a really crap day coupled with the rain and the fact that I’m in tutorial classes with morons. The boys sitting next to me today in my Principles of Management class smelt like onions, swore like pirates and talked on the phone during the class. I miss being with my own age group… definitely wishing I started with BBA instead of transferring half a year later. I will channel all my happiness into my French 200 level class with the normal boys.
I’m trying to stay positive, can you tell?
