WASTELAND

Love these lookbook images from super cool US store, Wasteland. The whole beanie thing is pretty big here, I'm not sure they suit me, but I'm getting into it.

SYDNEY SUNLIGHT

There's a really nice time of day in Sydney, just before sunset when you find yourself in the shade but you can see the golden sunlight hitting the tips of buildings in the distance. Love it.

Happy Friday folks!

BLACK TIE

You will be used to my usual grungy style by now, but before I left England I saw one of my best friends get married and it was an opportunity to get dolled up for a change!



My dress is by Oh My Love, the cuff is by Day Birger & Mikkelson and was a leaving gift from a friend, the earrings are ASOS and the rings are vintage and House of Harlow.

SHOE ENVY

It makes me a little depressed right now, as this is my current shoe collection...............



Relocating your life has a lot to answer for.

OUTFIT POST

So here's what I wore last Friday to head out in Surry Hills (Tios and El Loco) and end up in GoodGod. I haven't posted any pics of myself recently but you can just about see my dip dye here and on the subject, I've found my hair dye of choice in Sydney (Directions Flamingo Pink). Which would be good news if it wasn't 17 bucks a pop. Ouch. Where is Paks of Dalston when you need it? Care packages of £2.99 hair dye welcomed.

NEWTOWN

On Sunday I went out and about captured a couple of pictures of the area I'm currently living in. I've just found out I have a room in a unit in Surry Hills (and it has a pool, result!) so I'll be moving on at the end of the week, but I'm sure I'll be making frequent trips this way.


A couple of views of King Street..




Some great places to shop....Mag Nation as posted about before..


..and the famous Vinnies.


And places to eat...(mmm Thai mmmm Tacos and beer)


A little vintage store was having a closing down sale on Sunday and everything was $10. I picked up this super lairy but pretty amazing jacket!! Can't wait until it's a tiny bit warmer so I can wear it (or might just take my chances and freeze). I must have acclimatised as I can't believe I'm talking about 18 degrees like it's cold!

VINTAGE

I hate all the clothes I brought from England already and can't believe how little I brought with me! There isn't much in the way of a high street here, but thankfully the vintage is good. I found this shirt in a place on Crown Street in Surry Hills.



Today I went for a wander in Newtown and had my first Vinnies experience! Will share what I bought in another post.

MAG NATION

One of the first shops I stumbled across in Sydney (actually I think it was THE first shop) was Mag Nation. Selling over 4000 titles from around the world as well as awesome coffee, it sold me on Newtown straight away. I went back yesterday to make a couple of purchases...

Newtown is where I'm currently staying - before I came people said it was like Camden but having been here a couple of days I'd say more like the Bethnal Green end of Brick Lane crossed with Dalston (loads of Thai and Vietnamese places), with a bit of Camden thrown in I guess.
I can't decide whether I'd rather live here or Surry Hills which is a bit more upmarket but still loads of cool bars, cafes and vintage shops etc. Today I've been to Glebe which is lovely too. Loads of veggie cafes, yoga etc (if you want a London comparison, I guess Stoke Newington!). From Glebe you can get to Blackwattle Bay which is gorgeous, perfect for running and dog walking (see instagram for pics). Maybe in a few years I'll take a lease on a place with floor to ceiling windows looking out onto the bay.

The free wifi in my room is sporadic so don't know when I'll next post though I have loads to post about! But keep checking instagram in the meantime as I am taking pics as I go and uploading them using free Maccas* wifi when I get the chance!
