two blondes

Possibly one of the hottest men around and possibly one of the hottest woman around. Swoon. Swoon. She looks good in anything and he looks good on anything. I am not quite sure who I am more in love with in these photos. I am self-confessed True Blood addict and currently reading the 8th book whilst desperately waiting for season 3 to start so I can get my Eric fix. I am started to find the lines of the supernatural world a little fuzzy, and expect to see a viking vampire strolling (although I am not sure if vampires stroll, maybe glide would be a more appropriate term) around in London after dark.

I am ignoring the fact that I haven't posted anything on here in over a month.

the mean blues

dress I made, sunglasses Hamilton Island, backpack from ebay, boyfriends necklace

I have the traveling blues, and trying to fill the time. I'm jobless and penniless and living off the memories.

I adore the simplicity of this outfit, the slightly loose fitting jean with the oh-so-white long sleeve t-shirt with its scoop neck and the way it hangs off the shoulder given a glimpse of the collarbone. How the sleeves are a couple of inches too long, so that they cover part of the hand giving that air of naivety. The chunky black strap of her watch and the way her single braid falls in her face. It reminds me that a simple white t-shirt with classic blue jeans can be the most stylish outfit of all.

It has been 2 weeks and 2 days since I got home to London. It's a strange feeling coming home after being away, I feel like in the five months I have been gone everything and nothing has changed. Australia seems like a lifetime ago, a distant memory of somebody else's tale. A dream that I'm trying to hold onto but it slips away as the day goes on. The last week I was in Australia after we had booked our flight home, I tried to remember everything, the way everything looked and smelt and sounded, the feel of the sun on my back. I went over and over all my memories trying to store it all in my brain. When I was there I made all these promises to myself, I had felt like I had changed. But I guess the more things change the more things stay the same.

corona

old stripe top, h&m hat which is now wrecked cos I stuffed it in my suitcase too many times, Vintage rings

Tasty burito's washed down with some Corona in Kings Cross, Sydney. I swear I could eat mexican food everyday. I love home-made guacamole it's so much better than that jar shit and its so easy to make.
I seriously love this top but it has this wierd stain on it that you can only see in certain light, its coffee or something but it never stops me wearing it.

White top made by me, black top worn underneath Stussy, sunglasses from Hamilton Island, watch casio

Photos taken from a road trip of both the Great Ocean Road and the drive between Melbourne and Sydney. Australia's coast line is absolutely stunning.

More photos on my other blog COCONUTTRAVELS

who's the where

Some more of the amazingness of Melbourne. I go back in a couple of weeks and I can't wait, it really is a wicked city. Walking around is a colourful experience with all the alleys filled with some of the best street art in the world.

I'm wearing a madonna vest my sister bought me and a black sarong skirt thing- which doesn't work that well when it's windy and I always end up either flashing or having to go change.

It's hard living out of a suitcase, I am bored of all my clothing, everything is always screwed up-me and the iron are just not friends.

there are no words just smells

So far 2010 has not been my best year at blogging, I have been in Australia since October and so far my 'blogging' (hate that word) has been sporadic at best. I have 2 blogs and I am sad to say that any internet time I have had dedicated to 'blogging' (seriously hate that word) has mostly been spent on my other blog COCONUT TRAVELS - and I am 2 months behind on that too. So please accept my sincere apologies and I hope that I can be a little more consistent with my posting on BLONDE ON BLACK .

I just got back from a magical trip to Fiji. It was absolutely beautiful, the sky was like a dream it had the most beautiful sunsets when the it would turn all kinds of shades of pink, and at sunrise it became a deep orange as the sun came up over the mountains. Each night there was countless stars in the midnight blue sky, and even on the rare occasion in the late afternoon when the usually bright blue sky became overcast it looked like it belonged to story about mythical creatures.

I am now in Sydney for the next 3 weeks so any Sydney-siders have any tips or must-do's please let me know, the Lonely Planet guide book is great but you can't beat inside advice.

Obviously the picture in this post are not from Fiji, the top and bottom photos are from London and the middle one is of the best hot chocolate I have ever tasted from Ganache in Melbourne. This is what I am craving right now, the sweetness tantalising my taste buds, the richness filling my mouth, the velvety texture satisfying my throat and the slightly sticky essence left behind on my lips tempting me for another sip. It's 9:30 am and all I can think of is HOT CHOCOLATE.

Melbourne

Hanging out in one of my new favourite cities. Melbourne is alive with backstreet culture, heaven for a foodie and a shoppers dream. Getting to grips with the indecisive weather and looking forward to tonnes more exploring.

in the strangest of places

I never normally look to Will Smith films for fashion inspiration but hot damn the fashion in this film has been overlooked- Tea Leoni plays badass Julie and her wardrobe is SIICCCkkk. Best boots ever. kickass jewellery. striped dress. shortest skirts. and attitude too boot.

Hope you everyone had an awesome christmas, mine was spent in the sunshine-a first for me- lounging by the pool and eating seafood. bliss.

if i were joking

Still hanging out in Australia, kicking back at the beaches day or night and soaking up the summer sun. These photos were taken way over a month back when we were on the Gold Coast- i'm seriously behind with posting stuff. These days you can find me in the Whitsundays until January when we head to MELBOURNE. Seriously excited. Hit me up with any tips or places I should check out whilst I'm there.

I'm not normally a flip flop kid but this chick makes me wanna wear my Havaianas all the time.

the end of the day when the birds come out to sing

Didn't have the internet for a while including over my birthday so couldn't skype my parents back home in London which really sucked, so instead had to stick to the conventional method of the telephone. However I am back on line now catching up with my emails, another year older.

These photos were taken a few weeks back in Broadbeach on the Gold Coast in Queensland, my Mum said to me the other day that in all the photos I'm always wearing black so here I am again Mum in all black true to form. It's a hard habit to break.

me and my home girl

In my favourite velour leopard print dress with my favourite hot chick.

shake shake shake shake shake shake it

WILDFOX ss10

I think wildfox rocks, i always love their look-books, they represent the clothes so well. The girls in the photos look like they are having a blast, makes me wanna buy into this stuff. Wildfox does it what it does and it does it well! I find myself wearing black quite a lot, black white and leopard print. But today i am in the mood for colour so am gonna locate my inner wildfox and rock out.

walk in the woods

For the last two and half weeks I have been in Australia neglecting this blog, instead I have been posting on my other blog COCONUT TRAVELS. But alas I have returned to my beloved blog and here is a snippet of my spring time sunshine. I am seriously gutted about this long black dress I am wearing here because it seems to have shrunk in the wash, I have since fallen out with the washing machine who's fault it is because obviously it is not mine.

You give a little love and it all comes back to you la la la lala la la You know youre gonna be remembered for the things that you say and do

cut off Levis, madonna vest leaving gift from my sister, black ankle boots h&m.

Both my friend Katie and I are leaving London and going on our respective travels, she leaves tomorrow and I leave in 2 weeks. So Saturday night we went out to the bars we used to hang out in when we were 18.
We had half the dancefloor to ourselves and we danced danced danced to the old skool garage and songs fro different movies, when a song from Bugsy Malone came on Hayley and I danced our little socks off. It was a classic night and one for the history books.

shout out to charotte, immense love

This shirt belongs to my best friend Charlotte who has just set up what will be an awesome blog. She spent the summer in Ibiza and got back about 12 days ago and in18 days i head to Australia so trying to soak up as much time as i can with her. We met on the first day at uni (along with two other of my best friends Anna and Albertine) she had this amazing Mochino white sheer shirt with blue polka dots and a braid in her hair and we have been inseparable since, including living together for a short while which meant sharing a bed and me forcing her her to get up in the morning so we wouldn't be late for uni, she did my laundry and i made her breakfast it was a sweet deal. love you chick and i promise to return this short soon along with all the other shit I have borrowed!
