I know I've been a little awol lately when it comes to the blog, but I'm back, with a new hair colour, new outfits, and some big news!

As you may have picked up from the banner in my sidebar, I've been selected as a finalist in The Pedestrian.TV Blogster Awards sponsored by Microsoft Surface Pro 3 and Intel!

The Blogster Awards is an Australia-wide competition, showcasing blogging talent from photographers to lifestyle bloggers, serial tweeters to vloggers. I was originally nominated under the Fashion Blog category but the selectors decided to throw me in with the big time grammers under the Instagram category since I've been far more active over on my instagram in the last few months.

 One quarter of my final score will be based on votes from the public (that's you!), so I would be SUPER grateful if you could swing me a vote to help me along.

It's super easy and only requires a quick facebook like on my profile!

I'm hugely honoured to have even been nominated just for doing what I love, and it would be absolutely incredible if I could make it to the judges' shortlist with a little help from you guys!

Now, back to the fashion.

I bought this adorable and whimsical skirt a little while ago from Sheike while on an afternoon shopping trip with some pals. I literally ran towards it and snatched it off the rack as fast as I could when we walked into the store because I knew this was literally going to be a "first in, best dressed" situation given the other two fashion loving girls I was shopping with. I absolutely love it and it's a dream to wear.

I was super excited to do a shoot with it but found myself short of pieces to complement to gorgeous lilac print, so I thought... hey, why not just dye my hair to match? Problem solved.

This shoot also gave me a chance to properly show off my new chic as hell ASOS leather boots. I'm normally not one for simplicity but these boots are just so sleek they make me melt! (And they're currently on sale!)

The other dearly loved item I decided to include in this outfit was my Ciara Clark perspex bracelet. I adopted this unique little treasure when I saw it staring back at me in a shop window in Manchester a few years ago. The iridescent spikes reflect and refract light in such a magical way, there was just no way I could walk away from it.
