I recently took a trip to Cairns, about a 5-hour flight north of Melbourne. Not only is Cairns home to one of the most treasured and unique travel destinations in the world, The Great Barrier Reef, but it also boosts warm, beach temperatures year round. This trip could not come at a better time because...
One of my most recent fashion obsessions… tights! Not only have I noticed a trend; there are several reasons why I love tights. They add so much to an outfit, and can instantly make an ordinary outfit look fun and stylish. Not to mention, you can be as wild as you want to be, and...
A recent trend that has taken Australia by storm is tops and dresses with cutouts. I first noticed intricate back cutouts that are delicate, but ultra-feminine. Now I’ve seen cutouts in the side of dresses, and even the neck of shirts and dresses. What I love most about this new trend is that it takes...
For the past 2 weeks it seems Mother Nature has cursed us with cold, rainy weather… every single day. I don’t know about back home, but here in Melbourne it has been gloomy for what feels like ever! I’m not a big fan (as I mentioned in last week’s blog I prefer warm weather), so...
I’m far from a jealous person. But as the temperature slowly starts to fall here in Australia, it is on the rise back in the States. I’m not a fan of cold weather, never have been, never will be. Although I will get my fair share of summer when I return, I’ve been struggling to...
Since living in Melbourne, I’ve been introduced to an entirely new “going out scene.” The legal drinking age here in Australia is 18, so I’ve been able to experience some of the great nightlife Melbourne has to offer. I’ve been to my fair share of 18-and-up clubs back in the States, but I have to...
Backpacks are a thing of the past… well, here in Australia that is. For the majority, I’ve noticed that girl’s prefer satchels as opposed to the traditional backpack. I’ve tried to understand why this might be, and although a backpack may seem essential at times, I’d highly recommend for you to start shopping for a...
Even though summer is on its way out in Australia, the past few days have welcomed us with warm weather and lots of sun. I’m much more of a summer girl as opposed to winter, so I have thoroughly enjoyed the recent warm-up. One of the most important (and useful) accessories for those bright, sunny...
Australia is known for it’s perfect beach weather, which means sun, sun, and more sun! It is no surprise why hair wraps are a common trend here among fashionistas all around. When I first spotted this trend, I was hesitant to give it a go. But now, with summer right around the corner, I might...
I recently traveled to Poland, where I loved going shopping and seeing all of the new styles available for Spring 2012. Most of the styles had a colorful, fresh new look and jackets of all colors- both bold and pastels, are becoming more popular. Stores in Europe are now filled with colorful lace dresses, bold...
Everyone has those days where getting ready for class seems like an impossible task. Some days, sweatpants and a t-shirt are the only things that feel right. This past year I’ve forced myself into the habit of putting an effort into my outfits each day. Even though it may take a little longer in the...
In honor of studying abroad in Melbourne, Australia for 5 months, I thought it would be appropriate to devote this post to Australian model and actress, Megan Gale. Her widespread appeal has landed her various covers and feature stories in Marie Claire, Australian Vogue, The Australian Women’s Weekly, Australian Style, Black & White, Cosmopolitan, In...
As soon as I stepped out of the airport here in Melbourne, Australia, I knew I had come to the right place. The fashion here is amazing. Since day one, I’ve been overly inspired by all of the fashion-forward styles I’ve seen around campus, the mall, the city… you get the point! Every single shop...

This look could easily translate to NYC chic with the big bag and black color scheme.
