Yes I'm back so soon.. you can thank procrastination for that. I have a University assignment which I'm pretty sure is due Friday, yet I have not started. I'm stressing but at the same time I kinda don't give a shit. I would much rather talk about what I love at the moment and aimlessly scroll through the internet instead of talk about statistics and write essays. Am I right? Of course I'm right no one likes homework. Anyway...
This post was originally going to be about all my favorite trends right now, but as they don't change as often as I change my outfit does..I decided to gather a list of foods, restaurants/hangouts, books and music as well as clothes. I've decided this list is a great way to cure my boredom and feed my need to procrastinate as well as letting you guys know a bit more about me in regards to what else I like and do in my spare time.
Trends:
My number one favorite trend right now is coats. Long coats short coats, fluffy coats and camel colored coats. A statement piece that can be warm (preparing for the upcoming winter season here in New Zealand) as well as being very versatile. I find they are amazing for when you are simply having one of those days where you just can't seem to find anything that looks good- you can just throw a coat on paired with great shoes and either a good hand bag or a great hat and you're set to go. Some times (and most times) less is more. I always find that when I look back on outfits from a week ago to a year ago, my favies tend to be very basic outfits, as opposed to an era we no longer speak of (2007) where I thought flare jeans, halter tops and about 10 necklaces were so "fashun". Out of my almost nineteen years on this earth, if I could erase any year it would most definitely be 2007.
Colors and Prints:
Most of you know I love neutral colors and tend to stick to them. I have very few bright items in my wardrobe. I just feel you can do SO much more with colors that don't stand out, as people tend to notice colors that pop and bring up the awkward "haven't you worn this outfit before.?" Aside from the usual favorites:black, white, grey and taupe I still find myself loving pastels. Pale pink to be precise would probably be my go-to color if I wasn't choosing black. As for patterns I adore houndstooth, anything from houndstooth skirts to pants to blazers.
Books:
Although I haven't read the whole thing, I must admit I'm dying to. Babe Walkers "White Girl Problems" and "Psycho's" are two books that are an absolute must read before 2014 ends. I have to say I'm not a huge reader. If I commit to a book I must really love it. I usually prefer light hearted books and autobiographies of some sort, for example Alexa Chung's "it". Of course I do like the odd fictional book, few of my favorites are Breakfast at Tiffany's (surprise, surprise) and Lolita. However I feel that any popular book cannot be released without the movie being released very soon after. I always end up seeing the movie instead.
Food:
In light of my last post, I adore anything and everything fruity from berries to mangoes. Acai bowls are most definitely topping the chart of my never ending list of favorite meals at the moment. Something else I will never get enough of, despite it being unhealthy is waffles topped with cream and syrup, for me, it is an absolute mandatory order if I find myself going out brunching with a few of my close pals.
Restaurant/Hangout's:
To be fair this place isnt exactly either a restaurant or a hangout. But it's a tiny little cupcake store just off of Teed Street (Newmarket) called "Petal Cupcakes". I would say "you can't miss it!" But you actually can because of its cute shoebox sized space. Petal Cupcakes is a long time favorite of mine but I had just realized that I don't think I've written about it yet! In my last year of high school I would often go down with friends to get one. They are the most beautifully decorated and most scrumptious things I have ever eaten in my life. They are so perfect I don't want to ruin them. There are so many flavors I've yet to taste all of them, but I guess I can try..Music:
I am a huge music lover. If I don't listen to music throughout the day I will most likely be a cranky troll and you do not want to be around when that happens, I have many songs that are my favorites but I've gathered a list of just some I've recently been listening to a lot:
