frenchy

I felt very French in this outfit for work yesterday as I sported my favourite Country Road high waisted shorts. Stripes will always be in as far as I'm concerned as I pretended it was colder than it is with long sleeves.

Tomorrow marks the start of half yearlys - the first assessment block for my HSC that goes over 2 weeks. I was very lucky with my schedule as 3 out of my 4 exams are in the first week, and religion is on monday at 9am…. so… I have a 1pm flight for MELBOURNE!! Woohoo!! I'll finally be back in my favourite place with Mum just for 5 days but man I could not be more excited. I'm hoping the weather will be a little colder down there as I can hopefully get some wear out of some of my new jackets. There will many photos and much much much more shopping. 

Stay tuned, 

Han xx

a little bit naughty

Okay I know I'm a bad person. I have seriously neglected you blog and you have every right to hate me… but please… take me back? I promise to treat you right………….. and then we lived happily ever after.

Okay so prepare for my excuses… but a) I underestimated the extent of what the NSW HSC involved… and man I've been busy b) I'm been working a lot… and c) I don't even know what else to say I've just been exposed to a horrendous amount of business. But hey, I'm back, I have some catching up to do and I'm here to stay. 

So to make it up to you blog I will be inundating you with numerous posts in the next hour because you have missed A LOT. 

So here we go. 

In this post I went to Sydney, rocked it out representing Karl… and may or may not have been put on the naughty list of the banking world. But yeah, this happened. I couldn't help it. Just look at that perfect piece of handcrafted perfection… black, white, gold and all things sexy. I could not help it - guilty.. sue me. And yeah these Marc Jacobs babes happened as well… and they feel like slippers. They are seriously so comfortable it's ridiculous.

recovery

Yesterday was probably the first saturday i've had off work in a longggg time so Mum and I capitalised on the opportunity with lunch at Terrigal, shopping and… we bought a jeep.

chop chop

If you guys follow my instagram, you would notice that I have chopped pretty much half of my hair off! It was quite drastic for me as i've literally had long hair past my boobs since I was 8 but my god did my ends need it. I'm so happy with the super chic and super edgy, blunt result and love being back to black. I couldn't be happier with the result :)

A few quick snaps from Emily's 18th - the first 18th of the ladiez! We just had a ladiez cocktail night featuring Jay with good times and an even better view. 

I also finally got to wear this beautiful Wish dress that you can't really see but just trust me on this one that it's beautiful.

purposeful

I feel as though my posts always begin with an apology… so I won't apologise... but I will ask you to overlook the less that aesthetically pleasing background to these images as i'm amidst renovating my yard at my new house. Please focus on the clothing.

I'm obsessing over these new Wittner penny loafers as well as these Country Road pants that are uber cool. 

I'm currently finding myself constantly tieing anything and everything (well… not anything, but you get the picture) around my waist over baggy layers to make myself look cooler than I actually am. (It seems to be working).

I've been busy with work and slacking on school and my feet are currently aching.

i spy

I apologise for the extremely long absence on my part. I've either been consumed by work or buried under a mountain of school work. I'm literally either in my school uniform at the moment, running late for work in head to toe Country Road or dumping my bag as I get home and smearing my makeup off my face… therefore literally zero outfit posts have been taken. I'm working this weekend so i'll hopefully make it up to you guys - i'll try my hardest.

I've thrown myself into my school work at the moment to try and maximise the amount of work i'm getting done as the demand is at a constant increase. 

Just as the weather began cooling down, it's back to miserable mugginess. 

Right now i'm enjoying watching the Winter Olympics in Sochi, and reading about four books for school simultaneously.

watch out

Today was a day of hard work moving boxes into the new house as we're moving in around a week, and I go back to school in less than a week :( So today called for a casual get-up (well… as casual as I can get), with comfort and ease.

The print of my shorts had me dreaming of vacation as I ready myself for school next Wednesday. It's always a constant wish for just a few more weeks when it comes to the end of holidays.

looking up

I apologise for my demon child face but this photo was taken at my new house! New house  = new place for my OOTD photos haha and I really like this wood/brick combo on the deck in my yard. I also like how my new house has wood floors instead of the tiles that I swear every house I live in has… so yay for wood! 

I took this image of #whatsinyourclutch for a comp for The Enabler but I really like how it turned out! It's a constant struggle to fit my essentials into a purse that goes in my hand but luckily i've narrowed it down to these bare necessities. The clutch featured is a 20 year old vintage Fendi that was my Mums (it had a short strap but I unbuckled it to turn it into a clutch) and i'm so blessed for her to give it to me. 

I'm not going to lie, I should be doing school work right now.

SERVE THE PEOPLE

The Ladiez - Em, myself and Mad.

This is the teahouse at the gallery! How cute is it! Jay seems to like it.

Today was by far one of the best days i've had in a while.

I headed down with some of my best friends (Mad, Jay, Em, Nick and Josh) in my art class and our two beautiful art teachers to see the SERVE THE PEOPLE exhibit in the White Rabbit Gallery in Chippendale, Sydney. We had to write an essay on it last term so it was great to see the works after learning so much about them through a computer screen. The images i'd seen prior by no means conveyed the impressiveness of the work's magnitude and just shear quality and wow-factor. 

My favourite works would have to be two of the works i've shown here - the textile and fabric work that brought a sort of tapestry to 3D life with amazing and mesmerising colour, and the room installation containing the miscellany of printed cards and the broken statue of Mao Ze Dong. These were just two of the amazing and impressive works. 

It was great to be able to wander around the gallery, talking about the ever so daunting HSC and our possibilities however in such an inspiring and relaxing atmosphere. 

If you're in the Chippendale area i'd highly recommend going to the exhibit as it's only got a few weeks left. 

After the gallery we headed to a cute Chinese restaurant which was beautiful (and we may or may not have become VIP's while we were there - no biggie :P). The interior was gorgeous with blacks and browns and the food was even better! I also learnt how to use chopsticks properly! This was a big moment for me after failing to pick up my dumplings correctly my entire life haha

We then ended up down at the Rocks, strolling around and soaking up the sun on this beautiful Sydney day on the harbour. 

All in all, it was a beautiful day - just what I needed to get my head away from my desk and out into the fresh air. 

SIDE NOTE

I'm going to be starting a youtube channel, which will be featuring videos of me giving you guys ALL things fashion. However, my first video will be of some footage I shot today! So stay tuned and i'll be posting the link around everywhere once everything's sorted.
