Happy Easter everyone! I hope your day has been filled with chocolate and fun times. I've spent the weekend relaxing pretty hard - it has consisted of $2 McChicken and Cheese burgers, Connoisseur chocolate nougat icecream, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, and finally starting to watch Games of Thrones. It's been pretty neat.

I've also been catching up on my blog reading, so here's a bunch of lovely links for you!

First of all, I'm pretty smitten with this coat from ASOS. I love the collar, I love the 1960s feel to it, and I love, love, LOVE the green. The weather's finally been getting cool enough that I can entertain thoughts of buying it. Plus, there's a red version which is on sale for $10 cheaper...


♥ 

Speaking of ASOS, you can now get an extra 10% off just for being a student! Head here for more info.

One of my favourite new blogs I've discovered has to be Wearing It On My Sleeves, especially for the amazing DIY revivals she does! I usually buy things from the op shop to alter/chop up/colour, but they just end up in a big pile and are inevitably donated back to the op shop. This has given me a bit more inspiration!


Next up are a couple of DIYS. Firstly, this one from Miss Peregrin's Secrets, which shows you how to create a cute colour-blocked mini dress from two big not-so-cute shirts. I think this looks adorable (and actually really easy, I might be giving it a go soon!)...


And the second is from the lovely girls over at Le Fanciulle, where you can learn to make a leather lunch-bag that's been seen from the likes of Anve and Jil Sander. I think it looks absolutely gorgeous. I really want to make this!


And after all that DIY-ing, you're probably going to be hungry, right? So you should probably make Em's delicious-looking taco bake. That's right, a taco bake. I actually cannot WAIT to make this. 


There was another pop-up party this week, but this time for the whole of 140 William St. That included two vintage stores, a Zara Bryson, a menswear store, an art display by Andy Quilty, and the All Of The Above studio! I didn't take any photos - too excited enjoying all the freebies, I expect - but you can see some (as always) excellent photos on Dropstitch. 


Okay! That's all the links I'm loving this week. Have an amazing weekend & I'll be back with some more posts soon!

Hello all! I'm starting a new feature on Sundays, a little round-up of my favourite finds from the internet over the week. Everything from cute dresses, to blog posts from my favourite bloggers, to delicious recipes, to cat videos (well, maybe not that often for that one) - it'll all be here and hopefully you can enjoy it too!

I loved Hayley's post about dressing a doll for an exhibition called POUT, currently on display at Chadstone as part of the LMFF Cultural Program. Isn't the doll super cute? I can't believe the detail that went into it!

♥ 

This is quite an old post that I found via Skunkboy Creatures (one of my new favourite blogs!), but I thought it was lovely all the same. A DIY for these gorgeous feather lanterns, from Violet Bella.

I love this Fairground dress from ASOS. I also happen to know that you can get an extra 20% off ASOS purchases with the code STPATRICK... but this code runs out tomorrow morning so get in quick!


I'm really excited to see the rest of Elsie's new clothing line! She's just started releasing pictures of some of the dresses, and my favourite so far is the Ice Cream Sundae romper. You can also get a sneak peek at how to style the Weekender dress and the Bike Ride dress. 


Speaking of A Beautiful Mess, they have a post up about lots of different pizza toppings to try! I'm particularly keen to try the raspberry jam, brie and pesto, the BBQ bacon and avocado, and the pineapple and pesto. Yum!

I really liked Elizabeth from Delightfully Tacky's interview about lessons learned from blogging, from the Texas Style Council seminar. She's also offering 25% off her INDIE blogger e-course - click on the link for more info!

I still haven't decided what to do with my hair - and yes, it's still a big issue, haha - but I am leaning very heavily towards a look like this, snapped by the very fabulous Gem Fatale at London Fashion Week.


I may have made a sneaky purchase last week from one of my favourite online vintage stores, Old Age Vintage. I can't wait to style it up with some coloured tights and ankle boots when it gets a bit cooler!


Well, that's it for this week! I hope you enjoyed the first instalment!
