Hello Everyone

On my second day in Paris, I took a train ride to the area called Asnières-sur-Seine, and it was gorgeous! There were trees everywhere and the side streets all had a mini story to tell. The area was slightly cheaper as it wasn't central Paris, but that didn't stop it from being beautiful! I wore my favourite blazer again on the second day and paired it with these adorable shorts from Uniqlo. I was going for the relaxed but still chic city look. I teamed the whole look with these gorgeous earrings from ASOS and my mini suede bag from &OtherStories (similar here).
I found that in order to keep costs down while visiting Paris, it was best to shop like the locals and take a visit to the supermarket called Monoprix, but shorted down to Monop'. Needless to say, this little wonder became my favourite shop while I was out in France. The prices were cheap, and the food quality was incredible! Each one that I visited, had an in-house bakery! Can I say that I was in heaven? Haha

Hello Everyone

Taking an inspiration from the construction of a tree, Japanese architect Akihisa Hirata has designed a treehouse-like home in the heart of Tokyo. Being placed in a country with very different building regulations, it is proven that Japanese architecture pushes the boundaries in terms of what is considered a house/home.

Despite its box-like appearance, this home lets in a lot more lighting than imagined, as well as features concrete and whiteness in each and every room. Glass and structure are evident through the design, but despite all the angular shapes and height changes, it somehow still feels extremely homely and comfortable.

Hello Everyone

At the airport, I decided to treat myself to some Japanese, and what better than some Wasabi? I don't grab food when I'm out very often. but due to having recently finished my second year at university, I thought why not?! Also if you haven't my What My Second Year At University Taught Me post, then don't forget to check it out!
 Paris is no Lisbon, but even for Paris you will often find yourself some graffiti on the streets. If you ever find yourself in the city of love, be sure to try and go down some of the side streets that aren't so common. I find that, that's where some more of the beauty lies.
And there we have it! This was my first full day in the city of love! Be sure to keep reading the blog as I have more posts on the way and a few more videos to show you!

Hello Everyone

Bonjour!  With this amazing weather that we've been having recently, and my sister's birthday being in one of the warmest seasons, my family and I recently went to Paris, France. I had an amazing time and was able to see many of the usual tourist things, as well as the often overlooked parts of the city.

I hope you all enjoy my video that shows my experience in the city of love. Salut!

Hello Everyone

Concrete is the main building material in this beach home in Tamarama, Sydney. And despite concrete not being a frequently used material in seaside homes, it works amazingly well with the subtle colours and views of the ocean. The calming and relaxing wood and brown tones help even out the harshness of the chosen materials, as well as the featured curves and crashing waves from the sea. 

Another reason why concrete was a perfect choice was due to its properties and ability to withstand the harsh seaside weather, with all its salt, humidity and wind. Despite its usual avoidance, concrete was a perfect choice.

Hello Everyone

So July is finally underway, and we've all successfully gotten more than half-way through the year. The sun is shining and plans for the second half of the year are already being made. I've recently come back from a mini holiday (which I cannot wait to share with you guys), and I've also began budgeting and saving for my trips for next year too! I'm super excited, and what better way to let some of my excess energy go, than to make a moodboard and try and forecast my July?!

I'm feeling more heat, more outfit posts and maybe some new YouTube videos too?! Keeping reading the blog to find out more <3
