Hooray for long weekends! Spent mine hanging out with family and friends, disconnected from the world for a bit, and wrote down things going on in my head. I guess you could say the last few days has been blissful.

Sunday was awesome because I got to see my blogger girls (Alyson, Naomi) for a quick lunch date and spent a bit more time with Emma afterwards. We pretended to shop (I'm officially saving as much as I can. Goodbye spending) and explored different parts/alleyways of the city that we know and love. You can see more photos on her blog here

My outfit was a bit of vintage mixed with shorts from Wildpair and shoes from Hannah's. The floral crown is from The Bread and Butter Letter.

Hope you're weekend was great! Bring on a new week x

Alleyway Adventures

Spur of the moment afternoon tea with my folks because why the hell not. 

It is the little things that we remember - like some my fondest childhood memories are picnics with mum and dancing to children songs one Halloween evening. The simple things matter the most. Your family will be there for you no matter what. Friendships blossom if you nourish it. Be kind to everyone you encounter and smile. Blast the cheesiest music guilty pleasure you have at the highest volume. Dance while said music is playing. Stop and enjoy a cup of tea in silence every once in a while. Open your window and let fresh air in. Homecooked meals are the best especially if shared with good company. Eating out alone will do wonders for your soul. Same with going to the movies alone. There's a different kind of satisfaction in being comfortable in your own company. Appreciate your tutors and the people you learn from. They want you to succeed. Let them help you. Wear the clothes you want. Stop caring about what other people think. Don't step on anyones toes to get to the top. Don't forget the people who helped you get to where you are. BE KIND TO OTHERS. Be mindful. Be grateful. Eat, drink, and be merry. Eat healthy. Be curious. Never stop learning. Buy that pair of shoes you've always wanted. Surround yourself with things that inspire you. Let art make you feel. JUST FEEL GODDAMNIT. Feel something. Anything. Everything. It's all about DA FEELS guys. Crush on that celebrity and read fanfiction. Send appreciation letters to your heroes. Create. Embrace change. Strive to excel. Don't be average. I hate average. Don't settle. Dream big. Wear floral crowns or whatever makes you feel pretty. Fill your environment with fresh flowers and pretty things. Do it. Do that thing you've always wanted to do. Don't be afraid to tell someone you love them. Write them a fucking love letter if that helps. Make mixtapes. Take care of nature and the environment. Same goes with pets. Support local artists who gain next to nothing for their work yet do it anyway for the love of it. Appreciate everything you have. Gratitude goes a long way. Get rid of your sense of entitlement. Work hard and reap what you sow. Eat that cheesecake. Cry while watching wedding videos. Support your fave band. Be one with the crowd and music. Question. Let go. Defy gravity. Do what you love. Let your passion light your eyes. Take control. Never stop living.

Life is short. Pity we don't realise that until we are reminded of it yet again in horrible ways. 

This is it
