Leap of faith

Leap of faith

Lover the Label serpent lace dress, Kate Spade earrings Looking back, one of the scariest and most daunting thing about packing up and moving to a new country wasn’t the losing the security of a stable job, or a fear of the unfamiliar; it was the unnerving reality of what I’d be leaving behind. It was knowing that in the near future, I would wake up in a city where I could count the number of friends I had on one hand, while taking a leap of faith in the looming adventure with my best friend and forever love.

Eyes on MAC x Nordstrom eyeshadow palette

Eyes on MAC x Nordstrom eyeshadow palette

I’ve been planning a 15-pan eyeshadow palette from MAC for a while now, the only thing stopping me from biting the bullet has been trying to narrow it down from 25 to 15. So when I discovered that MAC had launched an ‘Eyes on MAC’ collection, by absolute chance might I add, it seemed to be the perfect solution to my dilemma, until I realised that there were three options to choose from… #firstworldproblems.

Take cover

Take cover

Karen Walker umbrella, Dress Up trench coat, Everlane ryan tank, Ellery skirt Sydney’s seen its fair share of rain lately, so I did the ‘responsible’ thing and picked up this rosy patterned umbrella from Karen Walker (oh, and uh.. the matching gum boots too!) the other week. With how seemingly unprepared I’ve been for rainy weather, I couldn’t have picked it up at a better time, as this week has been all gloomy skies and deep puddles. And the way I see it, I couldn’t think of a better way to brighten up a Wednesday…
